of the russian federation, these are people well known to us with good experience, some of them had experience working in the federal government earlier, now having worked in the territory, they have acquired even more experience, knowledge, feeling this territory where they worked and the territory in general, i really hope that they will apply all their best skills and all their achievements in russian regions.

the rules that they constantly talk about , but which no one saw, with which no one agreed, and which, apparently, change depending on the current political... situation and the interests of those who invent them. vladimir putin also paid attention to the position of the west. the president noted most people on earth consider our planet a common home, where all residents have equal rights, but countries that consider themselves to be part of the so-called golden billion have a different point of view. separately, vladimir putin focused on bilateral relations between russia and china. the soviet union was the first in the world to recognize the prc on the second day of its existence. and this year the countries are celebrating. i have noted more than once that our peoples are bound by long-standing and strong traditions of friendship and cooperation, and this is one of the most important foundations of bilateral relations. for 3/4 century our countries have come a long and sometimes

the fighters hit the nationalists' vehicles with precise blows, then the military personnel escaped guns from firing positions so that the enemy does not have time to strike back, hitting the targets of heavy equipment, that is, if possible , destroying the enemy on foot, that is, who moves in groups, found the target, that is, moved forward. to his point, but completely controlled the exit of his crew, which was there, they turned around, made an exit from the installation, worked, hit the target, turned away, left, didn’t find themselves, no one saw us, no one heard us. russian units in the southern donetsk direction were destroyed recessed control points and fortified positions of the ukrainian armed forces. powerful defensive structures were destroyed by large-caliber mortar shells. tulip, no other country in the world has such a weapon, a tulip can pierce even three-meter concrete walls,

our war correspondent eduart punigov will talk about the work of the combat crew. tulip is the most powerful mortar in the world, each shell weighs 240 kg, it has enormous destructive power and can penetrate even the most fortified defensive positions. to successfully complete a combat mission, the soldiers need to get as close as possible to... they need to drive at maximum speed so that the installation is not detected by enemy artillery or drones, a couple of minutes to deploy, the crew is preparing to open fire. the mortarmen first take aim, aerial reconnaissance transmits updated coordinates, after which fire is aimed at killing, usually the second or third shell flies right at the target. the tulip is usually used to hit the most fortified or strategically important structures on average 9 km. and we work on strongholds, bunkers, pillboxes, ordinary high-explosive steel mines, they penetrate up to 2-3

m, concrete shelters, they completely destroy them inside. after a series of shots, the soldiers dismantle the installation as quickly as possible and immediately return to the shelter. the main danger to tulips are fpv drones that fly at speeds over 100 km/h. we leave every day, that is, at night, always at night, well, in any case, there are three goals. there are definitely always two there. the artillery base camp is relatively far away from the line of combat contact, approximately 20 km. enemy drones fly here much less often than on the front line. usually they are intercepted by our air defense crews, who are on duty along the entire front line. but tulips are still always camouflaged in the forest belt and covered with branches on top. artillery from buryatia and the eastern group have been working in recent months on one of the most tense sectors of the front.

stable immunity to external challenges and crisis phenomena. over the past 5 years we have been able to. year it amounted to 111 billion dollars, then last year it already reached 227.8 billion dollars. at the same time, more than 90% of payments between our companies go into national russian-chinese trade turnover. if in 2019 currencies. therefore, it would be more correct to say that bilateral trade now amounts to about 20 trillion rubles, or almost 1.6 trillion yuan. china has been our main business partner for 13 years, and russia in 2023 immediately rose to fourth place in the ranking of commercial counterparties of the prc. the european union buys less lng again more than russian pipeline gas. berliner xait writes about this with reference to official statistics. from january to april, eu countries cut

can be forgotten. american edition claims that complete confiscation is no longer discussed, but there is disagreement on interest income from... russian assets. the european union would like to transfer this money to the kiev regime once or twice a year, but the united states insists on much more frequent transactions. but of course, everyone is confused by the question of liability if the conflict ends in peaceful negotiations. washington wants to shift everything to brussels, but brussels, of course, does the opposite. and at the end of the issue, let me remind you that the exchange rate today is the dollar is 91 rubles. 35 kopecks euro 98.66. and for now. on this all. novel. masha, thank you. now to the most recent messages. it is necessary to act in unison with the parliament and the regions. vladimir putin set this task for the ministers of the new government. the president met with the cabinet of ministers after signing the decree on the appointment. moscow supports beijing's initiative to resolve the conflict in ukraine. vladimir putin stated this in an interview with the chinese
