ours is more brutal, yes, ours is more brutal , there will be more than exactly what the numbers help, you are incomparably original in your questions, what is in general with production, raw materials and exports, what is our product like. back to the news review, let's start with the presidential elections, in some regions the first day of voting has already been completed, polling stations there have closed, election commissions there are recording a high turnout, for example, in kamchatka, it was about 36%. in chukotka

more than 60% of voters have already cast their votes, in sakhalin and the kuril islands more than 47%, in khabarovsk region more than 30%. voting in russia, let me remind you, lasts 3 days; for the first time in the history of presidential elections, russians can cast their vote remotely. the electronic procedure is available in 28 regions, as well as in moscow. by this moment, according to the central election commission , more than 10% of voters had already voted. the central election commission is monitoring the progress. voting collects all data about elections, including violations. we’ll find out more details from my colleague dmitry gorn, he again came into direct contact with the studio from the cec information center. dmitry, hello again, tell us how they react to violations and how voting is going in general? yes, yuri, good afternoon, but unfortunately, the central election commission is not talking about this without violations ; it reacts to them, of course, instantly in order to resolve all the processes that can be resolved. places

that are impossible, of course, will be dealt with by law enforcement agencies, such as, for example, the following event of a completely provocative nature occurred at several polling stations, they generally coincide, yes, that is, after a person has voted, a certain provocateur throws his ballot into the kaip and then pours green stuff into it, there is even a video recording from one of the polling stations in moscow, and so the moscow prosecutor’s office also noted: that such behavior may result in criminal liability , unfortunately, this voting has now become a little darkened, we have an emergency in three polling stations, in kursk, voronezh and korachay cherkessia, where people, women, men, took and poured ink into the voting box that they wanted this prove, i don’t know, but... this is definitely a criminal

offense for which there will be punishment, it is alleged that someone called them, promised money, whether they will receive this money or not, but the fact is that there will be an investigation, according to which they are very likely can get a criminal record, then this is of course an event that can be considered accomplished, the court will of course make its decision, and of course there is no need to argue here, we can talk about morality, well, i’ll add that even if the customers... the customers pay off with the performers, then of course these funds most likely they will only contact their lawyer. to record just such offenses and consider other controversial situations , international observers also work at the polling stations, and in general observers also work throughout the entire territory of our country, there are more than 333,000 of them, at least that’s how many applications were submitted to work in these days, here among this large...

observers who came to our country in order to trace how the core of those people, international this entire election process, is happening, despite pressure that came from the west, even direct threats. despite the colossal pressure, not long ago, just this morning i read these convulsive hysterical incantations with threats, and god forbid they are waving their finger, they are threatening our colleagues abroad with the western finger, god forbid you go there somewhere in the new these are our subjects of the russian federation.

compliance with the law during voting and the conduct of elections in general. we are watching the voting process. we make sure that everything is legal, that there are no abandonments or violations. as for consultations, no, we do not have the right to advise or provide any assistance to voters, we are simply monitoring the process. to vote on during the presidential elections in russia, more than 94,000 polling stations were created, about 113.5 million ballots were produced. let me remind you that the presidential elections of the russian federation are held from march 15 to 17, participation is.

also with two explosives, but this time they were sent not to bryansk, to dyadkovo. the russian military disrupted another attempt by a ukrainian armed forces unit to break through into the territory of the belgorod region in the area of ​​the border settlement of kazinka. this was reported to the ministry of defense. the ukrainian armed forces are also trying to shell the territory of the region. in belgorod , missile danger was announced several times a day. a report from the region by our correspondent igor pikhanov. this morning, ukrainian militants shelled the city of belgorod against civilians using a vampire rocket launcher system. experts provide such data. was several shots were fired, most of them fell on the outskirts of the city. some shells exploded right next to an apartment building. as a result. where a gazelle , which is equipped with gas equipment , caught fire, a bang occurred, as a result, windows in neighboring residential buildings were broken, as a result of this

terrorist, one might say, act , two people were injured, local residents were the first to arrive at the scene with the help of fire extinguishers, car fire extinguishers began to extinguish this is an ignition, firefighters soon arrived, as a result, it was possible to stop the spread of fire throughout... the entire parking lot, there were a large number of cars there at that time, according to the local mayor's office , as a result of this attack, 33 apartments were damaged, the insulation in social institutions was also damaged, a total of seven were destroyed as the city approached shells from the vampire multiple rocket launcher system, heard that there were explosions, saw where the black smoke came from with a fire extinguisher to help, specially bought more. this is gas equipment, and perhaps a car this is a gazelle, so it’s better to move further away, plus, apparently, there was some goods with the goods, perhaps some cassettes remained,

a unit of the ministry of defense together with the border service of the fsb of russia destroyed ukrainian militants who tried to break into the border settlement of kazinko, this is the gorovaransky district, ukrainian fighters landed in two helicopters near the border, already tried to enter the settlement, they even managed to get to the outskirts of this settlement, occupy several residential buildings, but quickly the units the ministry of defense opened fire on the militants, as a result, they began to retreat with heavy losses and reinforcements were also destroyed, which were already coming from the ukrainian border towards the village of kazinka. in just the last few days, units of the ministry of defense have prevented other attacks. ukrainian militants entered our territory, and casualties amounted to 1,500 people; a large amount of military equipment was also destroyed, including tanks

and armored personnel carriers. igor pikhanov, mikhail vidkin, ivan kuznetsov, conduct the belgorod region. oil prices are at a 4-month high. there are plenty of reasons for this, including the problem of navigation in the red sea and the expectation of a shortage of raw materials. about why even supporters of the green agenda from the international agency now believe that oil. there’s not enough for everyone, marya kudryavtseva will tell you. from a surplus to a slight deficit, the international energy agency has changed its forecast for the global oil market for this year. the main argument is opec production cuts plus. if in the last report , agency analysts confidently spoke about a surplus on the market of almost a million barrels per day at the end of the year, then according to new estimates, we are talking about a deficit of 300,000 barrels. but even despite this change. analytics forecasts remind us that one of the priorities for the iea is the green agenda. agency analysts expect oil demand to peak by 2030; opec says this will not happen until 2045

. most likely, due to the fact that many people are even now talking about a deficit, there will indeed be a deficit this year in all likelihood, it will be even slightly larger than the forecasts currently issued by the international energy agency. in my opinion, we may well see. well, something closer , probably to half a million barrels per day, uh, but not now, but somewhere in the second half of the year. opec plus will continue to reduce production. a number of countries of the association have already confirmed a voluntary reduction of 1.7 million barrels per day in the first quarter and extended these agreements into the second. russia reduced oil exports by 500,000 in the first quarter barrels per day by may-june 2023. four reductions are planned for the second quarter.

in achieving target indicators, but we do not encounter significant deviations, not everything fits within the given framework, but in general the actions seem coordinated. at the same time, in order to maintain a stable situation on the fuel market in russia during the spring field work, there is a temporary ban on the export of gasoline and diesel. as for russian oil, analysts are paying attention. reduction of the discount, we have come to the point where the russian export oil of the eurols brand is practically traded at parity with its marker grade brend. this suggests that there is a stable and fairly stable demand for sulfur grades of oil in the world, and russian yuralc is one of the key grades that are consumed in this segment, so we can assume that demand will continue to grow, accordingly our

oil will... entering africa, well, as a matter of fact, a significant part of the oil flow has now transferred to the african supply route, houthi attacks as such have an immediate impact. meanwhile, the international energy agency believes that the increase in oil consumption will be offset by an increase

in supplies. from countries such as the usa, brazil and canada, but confirm that there are still many uncertainties in the oil market, and the most important thing is china from the growth in global oil demand of more than 2 million barrels per day, of which the agency expects 60% to come from this country.

now economic news, briefly: the ministry of finance

has developed a project.
