vladimir putin recalled, the cabinet was updated, six new ministers, four of whom - sergei tsovilev, anton alikhanov, mikhail dekterev and roman starovoyt, until recently headed russian regions. the government has been updated, we have six new ministers, four of them came from the regions of the russian federation, these are people well known to us with good experience, some of them have previously worked in the federal government. now having worked in the territory, they acquired even more experience, knowledge, a sense of this territory where they worked and the territory in general, i really hope that they will use all their best skills, all their achievements in the regions of the russian federation, in order to solve tasks facing them at the federal government level, with maximum effect, while at the same time counting on the leadership.

i want to thank you for this work , congratulate you on state awards, i also intend to meet with colleagues, who left their posts in the government of the russian federation, i also want to thank them for their work and agree on how and where they could apply all their knowledge and skills in new areas so that their knowledge and experience were not lost, they could work effectively for the benefit of the russian people. and the russian state. decrees on the appointment of members of the government of the russian federation and directors of services were signed by the president on the same tuesday evening. each of the ministers went through the approval procedure in state duma. for the first time, in full compliance with the amendments to the russian constitution adopted in the summer of 1920. and as the head of the cabinet clarified, this approach increases the level of interaction not only with the legislative branch, but ultimately with the citizens of the country. all. the candidacies

of deputy prime ministers and ministers that we discussed with you were approved by parliamentarians, for the first time in accordance with the constitution, they went through, as you said, all the relevant procedures and... here i want to say that this procedure increases the level of interaction between the executive and legislative authorities, this is achieved by openness when we see, including from parliamentarians, that feedback from the people that you always talk about, the composition of the government, you know, has generally been preserved, has been strengthened by the gubernatorial corps and this is also very important, this will allow us to ensure, on the one hand, the continuity of those state programs and national projects that...

russia positively evaluates china’s initiatives to resolve the conflict in ukraine, vladimir putin stated this in an interview with the chinese news agency xinhua on the eve of his state visit to the prc. the president emphasized that the plan put forward by beijing speaks of the need to overcome the cold war mentality and the importance of respecting international law and the un charter. this approach could become the basis for future negotiations. a comprehensive, sustainable, fair resolution of this conflict through peaceful means and are open to dialogue on ukraine, but these must be negotiations that take into account the interests of all countries involved in this conflict, including our interests, coupled with a serious conversation about global stability, about

security guarantees for the opposing country and of course for russia, and these must be reliable guarantees and the main problem is precisely the reliability of any guarantees , since we are dealing... with states whose ruling circles prefer a world order not based on international law, but an order based on rules that they constantly talk about, but which no one has seen, with which no one agreed, and which, apparently, change depending on the current political situation and the interests of those who come up with them. vladimir putin also paid attention to the position of the west. the president noted that 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 take a different point of view. the us-led western elites refuse to respect civilizational and cultural diversity and reject the traditional

values. in an attempt to maintain their global dominance, they arrogated to themselves the right to tell other nations with whom they can cooperate and with whom they cannot. they are denied the right to choose. own development model, do not take into account their sovereign interests, as in past times, strive to ensure their well-being at the expense of other states, and resort to neocolonial methods for this. naturally, this state of affairs does not suit either russia or its partners. with our active participation, we were successfully created there are functioning multilateral associations, independent of the west, whose activities are based on the principles of equality, justice, and openness. respect for mutual consideration of each other's interests. convincing examples of such mutually beneficial cooperation are the shanghai cooperation organization and brix, which have firmly established themselves as key pillars of the emerging multipolar world order. they have become authoritative,

dynamically developing international platforms, within which their participants build constructive interaction in politics, security, economics, as well as in the humanitarian sphere. separately, vladimir putin focused on bilateral relations between russia and china. the soviet union was the first in the world to recognize the kapr on the second day of its existence. and this year the countries celebrate the seventy-fifth anniversary of diplomatic relations. 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 centuries by our countries. passed a lot sometimes a difficult path. we have fully taken into account the historical experience of our relations at different stages of their development. today we understand how powerful an impetus for all-round rapid development comes from the combination of complementary advantages. it is important that modern russian-chinese

ties are independent of ideology and political conditions. their multifaceted development, a conscious strategic choice based on broad coincidence. fundamental national interests, deep mutual trust, strong public support and sincere friendship peoples of two countries. the roar of explosions was heard tonight. but not in the evening in ukraine, messages also came from the city of sumy. local publications have not yet provided details; a new series of detonations occurred in kharikov, the eighth in a row in the last 24 hours. explosions occurred in kherson, controlled by the kiev regime. air raid sirens in regions of ukraine sounded several times during the night. in total, this regime was announced in four regions. ukrainian cities were left without electricity for several hours. the day before throughout the country experienced power outages. according to representatives of ukrenergo, this happened as a result of damage to the infrastructure due to the load on the network due to

of police officers, presumably they were associated with a large criminal group. us secretary of state antony blinken performed a song in a local bar during his visit to kiev. the results of the trip were symbolic. composition by neil young. rocking in the free world, dedicated. social injustice carried out by the american official on the kiev stage sounded at least ominous if blinkin hoped to support the ukrainians with a cheerful song, the lyrics were about poverty and satan. he was obviously let down. after the concert, the head of the state department was criticized by the ukrainians themselves, accusing him of frivolity, saying that such behavior is unacceptable when the armed forces of ukraine are collapsing on the battlefield . now economic news, maria grigorieva joins me. masha, good morning, economic ties between russia and china are strengthening. rom, good morning. yes,

$111 billion, then last year it already reached 227.8. billion dollars, with more than more than 90% of payments between our companies are made in national currencies, so 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 china’s commercial counterparties. the chinese foreign ministry reacted with lightning speed to new us protective duties in the field of electric vehicles, solar panels and batteries. the ministry representative did not began to limit himself to general phrases about double standards, and described in detail what the united states, which less than 10 years ago were the main ideologists of the global free market, are now doing. according to
