infrastructure facilities have been damaged. a few hours earlier, a roar and detonation were heard in pavlodar, where exactly this it happened. not reported yet. explosions occurred in the odessa region; the night before, a gas pipeline in the kharkov region detonated. the torch of burning fuel rose to a height of 70 m, and asphalt began to melt within a radius of 40 km. near the border with the belgorod region, the russian military destroyed dugouts in the trenches of the ukrainian armed forces. the electronic warfare station was also destroyed by artillery salvoes. the enemy has lost the ability to shoot down our drones. igor pikhanov has all the details. russian reconnaissance drone rises into the sky, on duty, drone goes towards the kharkov region of ukraine. the machine operator carefully examines the area. enemy weapons may be hidden in every forest belt. in the zone that the enemy considered his rear. the intelligence officers discovered the ukrainian military. the nationalists strengthened their fortified area. often

, equipment that takes part in shelling in the belgorod region is hidden in such positions. our scouts. allow them to lean out somewhere, we do not allow them to relax for a minute, that is, to take any actions of their own there, which, roughly speaking, they have planned something there, yes, well, we are working proactively. information about the enemy is transmitted to the artillerymen, combat crews of long-range d-30 guns are preparing guns for firing, military personnel from the state border cover group are on round-the-clock watch, in a matter of minutes the soldiers begin to neutralize the target, shot! high-explosive fragmentation shells rain down on enemy positions. the reconnaissance drones are adjusting the artillery fire, and with precise strikes the dugouts and trenches of the militants are being destroyed. also an electronic warfare station to suppress russian drones was destroyed. the peculiarity of this weapon is that it is very accurate. caliber 122 allows you to hit a wide range of targets. we mainly shoot at military

equipment, at closed firing positions, and at manpower. you can do this for a variety of targets and at different distances. to prevent the enemy from conducting reconnaissance on our territory, electronic warfare systems called krasuha are located on the border. the machine is designed to combat reconnaissance planes. the ukrainian mik-31 tried to take pictures of our territory, the equipment of the complex blinded the airborne side. as practice shows, the enemy flies at low altitudes, trying. approaching our positions, causing interference, we force the enemy to rise within the visibility and reach of air defense for further shooting down. destroy tactical missiles, shells, rocket artillery and kamikaze drones. the enemy is trying to bypass the defense, began to use weather balloons equipped with mines, the station's sensors detect the threat

promptly eliminated. igor pikhanov, mikhail vitkin, conduct the belgorod region. the european union wants to invest about 3 billion euros in military assistance to kiev. they plan to withdraw this money from profits from frozen russian assets. the head of the european commission announced this at a press conference. ursula fondern. alika komarova will tell you what other support measures are offered to ukraine and its allies. the friendship is over. polish prime minister donald tusk said his country will not give ukraine the patriot air defense system. apparently we don't have enough. wherein the politician moved the arrows correctly. he stated that air defense should be asked from the netherlands, they definitely have it there. the agreement turned out to be in sweden. stockholm is ready to give away 25% of anti-aircraft missile systems, which. is in the country's arsenal, in quantitative terms - this is exactly one patriot installation, sweden has four of them in total. they are skidding in the czech republic. previously , the country's president announced a certain coalition that

was ready to sponsor the purchase of a million shells for kiev, but all these dreams were dashed by a cruel reality, where everyone had more important problems than ukraine. before so far, our coalition has managed to acquire only 3,000 shells. we are holding negotiations. around the world, but several western states decided to help israel to prevent that war, so now we are holding a series of confidential negotiations with countries that have some kind of relationship with russia, some of them have the ammunition we need, but they don’t want it, that anyone knew about it. the usa actually left the game. the head of the cia openly stated: ukraine could lose by the end of this year, because kiev is running out of ammunition, and washington has time. in order to have time to deliver something, a purely heartfelt confession was made in the pentagon, they rely exclusively on the moral and volitional efforts of the ukrainians. we are now focused on working

with international allies and partners to ensure that ukraine gets what it needs from them. the long-term defense of ukraine is our priority so that kiev can deter russian aggression. you know, ukrainians have demonstrated their resilience and courage under fire. we have no reason to think that this will change. in meanwhile , the prime minister of ukraine is visiting washington, and he has to listen to instructions from american congressmen about protecting western values. i want to tell you the same thing that i told zelensky when i was at a meeting with him about a month ago. your business is our business, we want to do everything we can. you not only valiantly defend your country, but you defend the west, our values ​​and our freedom. at the same time , the american media claim that the white house is already trying to get kiev to stop airstrikes on some targets, including on russian infrastructure, they are afraid of rising oil prices and open

confrontation with moscow, but ukraine ignores these calls, which does not at all contribute to increasing the loyalty of sponsors. alika komarova, lead. let's continue to talk about the international agenda: israel launched strikes on iran, the media are reporting this. explosions were heard. and a military airbase with fighter jets in isfahan province. in this regard, iranian authorities have temporarily limited civil flights over major cities. now, however, air services have already been restored. information about there were no casualties, fire department vehicles drove towards the airbase. the iranian military reported that no missiles were used in the strikes on the country's territory; the explosions were the result of repelling air attacks. three israeli drones were allegedly shot down by anti-aircraft weapons. the military and israeli officials declined to comment on the strikes, while bloomberg reports that israeli officials previously told the united states they planned to respond to the iranian attack in the next 48 hours.

russia has proposed to its brix partners to create a grain exchange. in march this initiative supported by vladimir putin. my colleague, konstantin churikov, knows what will change with the advent of a new trading platform, and he joins me. good morning. what doesn't suit me? existing scheme. sasha, hello, well, the fact that prices are formed on the exchanges of paris and london, by those whose harvest is smaller than ours. russia has proposed that the brix countries create a grain exchange, which will allow them to fully participate in setting prices for agricultural products important for food security. world prices for them today are formed in unfriendly countries. the initiative was launched during the first meeting of the brix working group on agriculture. it took place via video link. during the online meeting, a conference on food security was announced, which will take place in moscow at the end of june. as roscongress notes, foreign partners

welcomed. this marked the start of a discussion of the project, which was supported by vladimir putin at a meeting with representatives of the agro-industrial complex in early march. the head of state called the idea very good and noted that stock indices are now formed in the usa or europe. for example, france produces disproportionately less grain than russia, but dictates its own conditions to the market. the euronext exchange is located in paris. they say that the issue of fairer terms of trade in grain has been long overdue, here’s why: the main interest of our producers, our exporters , is to ensure stable demand for russian goods, to get away from these price fluctuations, from price volatility, which unfortunately very high globally grain market, get away from the problems

of speculative... education, which, unfortunately, now dominates on key global exchange platforms. even before expansion, the five brix countries accounted for 42% of world grain consumption and 40% of its production. and with the increase in the number of participants, egypt, iran, the united arab emirates, saudi arabia, and ethiopia were added. a unique situation is developing in which grain production and consumption not only increase, but become equal. that the new brix members - these are also active buyers of grain, therefore, why should we trade with each other through london or paris, if we are brix countries, we can do it directly. in the proposal made by the union of grain exporters, i hear more of the idea of ​​​​creating such a marketplace, if you will, a platform within the framework of which russian agricultural producers, russian exporters, can interact with

consumers - in the brix countries, and, above all, in the newly joined countries, that is , egypt and the countries of the middle east. one of the key issues that will be resolved with the creation of the exchange are mutual settlements without reference to the dollar or euro. there is an opportunity to trade national currencies. if on the global commodity market it is necessary to convert a country's domestic currency, then from dollars to euros. then, in this case, on the brix exchange, it will be possible to avoid this; naturally, these are additional preferences that save money. needless to say, how beneficial this will be for us, taking into account growing exports. according to the results of last year, russia sold more than 66 million tons of grain abroad. the majority of the volume was made up of wheat,

corn and barley. our country earned $16.5 billion from this, an absolute record, but now the time has come to set these records in the national currencies of friendly countries, especially when the west itself actually refuses to trade with us. the european union summit yesterday ordered the approval of protective duties on the import of russian grain. it is expected that their size will be determined based on the type of product, or will increase by 95 euros per ton, or will be 50%. cost, but both are enough to leave europe completely without our agricultural products. at the same time, the eu leadership makes contradictory statements that they say they are for free trade, but not for everyone, but for themselves. we all understand that we cannot be competitive without trade. in the coming years, 90% of global economic growth is expected to come from outside the european

union. we need to continue to work towards an open fair trade that will provide there are new opportunities for our companies, but we also need to create a global playing field to eliminate the risks that we believe are associated with openness. besides geopolitics, there is another reason why trade with eu countries cannot grow. for example, grain, as you know, is consumed not only by people, it is used in agriculture as feed for poultry and cattle, in this regard in europe now.

such a situation that the center
