tragic day, in fact it was very difficult to do, it was just, it was very difficult, nerves, that’s all, i already understood, well, i started to think that everything, i won't get out, but for some reason i'm inside i still hoped that there would be a right way out, where they are not there, they are below , where they do not meet us, do not wait for us, these terrorists, and the fact that we can, it turns out, get out with people, i mean i thought about this and still panic. i was, but i don’t know if something inside you told me that i should just help people, because they are just like me, they are also afraid. these certificates, which were presented to the children, express gratitude, of course, not only to themselves, but to their families, who, as there it is noted that they were able to raise truly real citizens of their country. we want to give thanks to your family. and we

will work out together now. to urgent news that comes to the news agency’s feed with reference to the kremlin press service. vladimir putin had a conversation with the transitional president of mali, who strongly condemned the terrorist attack in crocus cityhole. in addition, the president of mali expressed special gratitude to vladimir putin for the free russian supplies of wheat and fuel fertilizers. it is also reported that the leaders exchanged views during the conversation in the context of the turbulent situation in the sahara-sahel region of africa. football players of the national teams of france and chile at the stadium in marseille observed a minute of silence in memory of those killed during the terrorist attacks at the crocus cityholi near moscow. the kremlin called this gesture the first manifestation of humanity on the part of the french in a long time.

we will now discuss the rest of the relationship between moscow and paris live with our ambassador to france alexei mishkov. he's in direct contact. alexey yurievich, hello. hello. after the terrorist attack in crocus. france, according to macron, offered russia some enhanced collaboration. what do you mean by this and how do you generally assess paris’s response to the tragedy? well, in continuation of what was said about the minute of silence at the football match, indeed the french, ordinary people, responded very sincerely to this tragedy, in the book of condolences... in our official book of condolences alone, there are already more than a thousand signatures bearing flowers uh even the national assembly also held a minute of silence uh the diplomatic corps also actively responded - they came to me uh

ambassadors of the cis countries to jointly express condolences. as for official paris. then he, as they say, is in the western trend, they immediately blamed isis for everything , as for macron’s famous statement, but he likes to make loud statements, well, wait and see, in france itself, after the terrorist attack in crocs, the level of terrorist danger was raised to maximum , how this is manifested and what they are now saying about how they will ensure security in the future. face precisely the threat from isis and islamic terrorists in general, which is why,

say, according to the statement of the french prime minister , two major terrorist attacks have been prevented since the beginning of the year. security measures are being strengthened in public places - around schools, around concert halls, according to police statements, security has been strengthened with 4,000 military personnel, that is , the french really feel a threat before the upcoming olympic games, yeah. quite a lot of time has passed since emmanuel macron’s loud words about the possibility of sending military personnel to ukraine, but the new the reaction continues to come, these words do not leave the agenda of european western leaders, today quite harsh statements are published, including by the french press,

by former french defense minister rove morin, including offensive statements addressed to the personal address of emmanuel macron. how do you think emmanuel macron feels about these initiatives? words of condemnation also come from various opposition forces, which, when discussing this topic with the president himself, came out categorically against, as well as against

the so-called security agreement that france signed with ukraine, and on the sidelines of various events... senators and deputies of various political forces approached me and said that they... but you see, one of the main one of

the main pillars period of our confrontation with the west and during the cold war, this was strategic certainty, this is when both sides understood that they would not take any too... risky step, and macron stated that this is what they want strategic uncertainty, this is just a step towards chaos, a step towards mutual distrust, and one or the other side can draw quite harsh conclusions from such statements, yeah. well, the bloomberg agency practically wrote about this the day before, where, with

reference to their exposed sources in the united states , they wrote that macron’s statements aroused anger, including among american officials, who are afraid that such actions of macron will violate this is a strategic balance of forces, are they discussing a possible us reaction in france, well is not widely discussed because...

political observers and analysts in france that one of the so-called drivers of macron’s statement was precisely the election campaign on the eve of the elections to the european parliament, where so far on issues of public opinion the prospects of macron’s party are far from rosy. yeah, if we now leave aside the political struggle in france a little and move directly to

the military aspect, then what can we say about the combat capability of the french army itself, given its very meager military experience in recent years, the failure of the campaign in africa, for example, how ready the french are now in principle to go to serve, the french media published data that the average service life of contract soldiers in the french army has decreased by a year, why is this? it may be related, well, i ’m not a military expert, so it’s not for me to evaluate the french army, but it’s quite obvious that it was built as an expeditionary force to carry out such neo-colonialist operations, so of course it’s hardly possible. say that she is completely ready for a high war

intensity and these data that you cite are absolutely fair, there is also evidence that the number of people willing to serve in the french army has sharply decreased, which is also due to fears that they may be sent to ukraine, yeah. but there is also the issue of financing in the defense sector, so macron expressed a proposal to raise the issue of creating defense bonds in order to increase financing opportunities. from your point of view, how effective can such a system be in principle? mechanism? well, it was not a purely french initiative, if my memory serves me correctly, it was an estonian initiative within the european union, in many ways it is an attempt to repeat the same

mechanism that was during... the coronavirus pandemic, but so far at the moment, to what extent i understand that this does not cause much enthusiasm in other eu countries, but according to experts, this idea on the part of the french leadership is associated with the fact that the french themselves have the means to support... in this case, ukraine are running out, so they would like to shift the burden to their nato and eu allies. yes. emmanuel macron not long ago gave an interview in which he called russia a rival of france. of course,

i would like to ask, does russia consider france to be its rivals, here was more data from. french counterintelligence, which claims that moscow is allegedly trying to sow a split in french society. how can moscow and russian diplomats respond to such accusations? well, firstly, macron went further, he said that russia is not a rival, a rival they consider china, and that russia is an enemy, while it was stipulated that, but not an enemy, so it’s still a matter of...

those of our athletes, those of our tourists who intend to go to the olympic games in paris, they must understand one simple thing, that they are not going to that blooming garden of eden that barel spoke about, but are going to the tough western jungle, where, due to

the actions of the french authorities, they will be abandoned completely alone and... from not only a visit or participation in events related to the olympic games, but even despite repeated appeals. give us no guarantees that we will receive even basic passes for movement in the center of paris, which will be completely blocked and where, unfortunately, all our institutions are located, despite the fact that passes have already been issued to residents of these areas, the

prosecutor’s office tells us that sorry, but you are diplomats, we cannot give you a pass, contact the foreign ministry. the ministry completely ignores us, so the point is that they are not preventing our athletes from participating in the olympic games, they have completely excluded russia as such has no relation whatsoever to this action that is to take place in france this summer, so it is very strange to hear a statement that there are some conversations going on there. about the olympic truce, when we have no dialogue on this topic at the state level at all, and how does the west feel about... we remember very well the olympic truce of 2008, when on the opening day of the beijing olympics

, georgia’s aggression against south ossetia began. yes. that is, it turns out that if the situation is not resolved in the coming months, then will russian diplomats be faced with the fact that their right to freedom of movement in paris will be limited? the right to movement is excluded. you will not be able to leave the embassy territory of the diplomatic quarter, how will it be you? well, uh, well, we didn’t have a diplomatic quarter there, we ’re just in the center of paris, which will be closed not only to traffic, but also to pedestrians, i don’t rule out that we will have to think through certain steps to evacuate our employees from the center paris, as, by the way, they have already begun to do this... french institutions that are located in this zone, and other embassies in france do not have this problem, they have a problem with

limiting the passes issued, but to make it clear, we were not even included in a special website on which the ministry of foreign affairs provides information. about the possible actions of the embassies of other countries, we receive information about what is happening in this area in a roundabout way due to friendly relations with our colleagues, that is, we are disconnected informationally and completely it is likely that we will be disconnected. movements, and we directly contacted the french foreign ministry, because, of course, we are most concerned if some

problems arise with the paralympic athletes, and we told them about this topic, to which there was deafening silence, no reaction, yes, some kind of surprising this is diplomatic practice, but i want to discuss another topic, so... despite such rhetoric, despite such attitude towards russian diplomats in general, russia and france, as statistics show, have increased purchases of russian lng to a maximum from 2022 year and spent almost 300 million euros on this in january, somehow characterizes french economic and energy policy, and what is france doing in this area, will they continue to increase supplies of our gas? well, you know what is happening within the european union. there is a discussion about completely abandoning our gas, lng gas at a certain stage, so it is difficult to give any long-term forecasts here,

because the european union is constantly shooting itself in the foot, but it is quite obvious that today we will replace russian lng gas. some kind of lng gas from other countries, say, the usa or norway, algeria, they essentially do not have such opportunities, because the lng gas market is already quite limited, and there are clients there who take it without the french, a certain safety cushion france is due to the fact that they are now... at an accelerated pace repairing their nuclear power plants, which in the future will give them the opportunity

to increase electricity production precisely through nuclear energy, but the situation is really difficult, and many french consumers they are not at all interested in the fact that russian lng gas will also disappear, which will lead to an increase in the price of everything in france. yes. alexey yurievich, thank you very much for the interview. let me remind you that we discussed france’s economic policy live, as well as the situation that is now developing with the situation of our diplomats in general with the political struggle in the fifth republic, with the russian ambassador in paris alexei mishkov. march 27. memorable date in russian military history: march 27, 1111, battle of salnitsa. during a trip to the don steppes, vladimir manomakh won a brilliant victory over

the polovtsians in the battle of prisalnitsa. thanks to the heroism and determination of the russian squads, the superior polovtian army was defeated. then voladimir manomakh drank the golden sholom don, the chroniclers admired. polovtsian raids on russia ceased for almost 15 years. the first bombs fell on yugoslavia on march 24, 1999 at 19:45 local time. no one could believe that the country could be attacked at the end of the 20th century. what did you do for?

we continue our review of news in the state duma. today awarded to teenagers who helped people evacuate during the terrorist attacks in crocus cityholi. they received certificates of appreciation and laptops. and the first deputy of the state duma committee on education, yana lantratova, presented the children with gift sets of a book about russia. read more about the award dmitry moroka. the ceremony ended just recently, with the participation of six schoolchildren who helped evacuate people from crocus city hall. the award ceremony took place at a meeting of the family protection committee on paternity issues. nikita ivanov, islam khalilov, artemy filimonov, alexander zhurik and two girls, victoria volchikhina and elizaveta terikhova. in fact, it was very difficult to do, it was just very difficult, nerves. that's it, i'm already
