spoiled and unworthy of all this, are they gypsies now? this phrase is an indicator not only of an attempt to scare the ukrainians, it is also an indicator of the failure of the course towards integration into europe, since for the europeans, the ukrainians have not become one of their own over all these years. or maybe andrusev, by calling those who escaped from independence gypsies, meant that today’s ukrainians actually have no homeland, the stigma of nazism. it burned through both the yellow-bladed flag and the faith of many citizens in the state of ukraine as such.

now it's time for economic news. inflation will slow down in the third quarter, the bank of russia predicts, according to the head. department

of monetary policy kirill trimassov , the annual rate of price growth approached 8%, this is the maximum after which a reversal will begin. back in the fall, one could talk about double-digit inflation, but the increase in the key rate had a positive, albeit delayed , effect. the central bank noted that a rate cut is possible in the second half of the year. russians' demand for summer flights is growing, ticket sales are already 40% more than a year earlier, about this aeroflot reported. main directions. internal - these are sochi and st. petersburg, as well as kaliningrad, krasnoyarsk, minvody and the cities of the far east. among foreign countries , the maldives, turkey and the capitals of the caucasus, baku and yerevan are still popular. there was an interest in china. people began to travel more often thanks to the expansion of the route network and the stabilization of the ruble exchange rate. sofcom bank's net profit increased by 11% in the first quarter and reached 25 billion rubles. this is the ifrs report data. the bank reconsidered the wait along the way.

a high key rate is unlikely to allow repeat the result of 2023. then we managed to earn 95 billion. however, within a year , record results are possible. thanks to. final integration of the home bank, the total income from the acquisition was estimated at 10 billion rubles. and volkswagen abandoned the motto electric motor or crash. the reason for the decline in sales of electric cars. now focusing on hybrids, bloomberg reports that the company has failed to launch several models and has fallen behind in china, where local brands now dominate. in addition, cooperation with beijing is complicated by draconian us tariffs on chinese electric cars. electric sales fall. dollars market capitalization. it was economic news. short. russian companies saved more than 70 billion

rubles in 2023. thanks to the use of gas engine fuel. more and more enterprises are converting their fleet to methane, cutting transportation costs by at least half. this in turn opens up. this is an opportunity to expand production to curb rising prices for goods and services, and for those who have chosen the right economic path, dmitry gorona. sliced ​​loaf, darnitsky bread, 16 in total products are produced here at the bakery in podolsk, and almost 90,000

units of various bakery products per day are produced from here, well, now the most active phase at 6 am is shipping. so that in literally 10-15, or even half an hour, you will find warm, fresh bread on the store shelves. every morning for more than 10 years, while the city is sleeping, marat tagibekov comes to load bread, checks delivery notes, receives a route sheet, today there are more than thirty delivery points, it is necessary make it in time for the store opening. i always thought it was a good thing to do for people. delivery of bread - you yourself understand, it’s such a thing that people come into the store, every person always takes something fresh in the morning, so we try to do a good deed for the sake of people. the company has several bakeries in different cities;

almost three hundred of these small trucks and up to 70 large-capacity tractors travel on the route every day. absolutely all equipment runs on gas engine fuel. on average , several million kilometers are covered by all transport vehicles per year, the costs of fuel is significantly less than if we refueled with diesel or gasoline, this leads to the fact that delivery costs are reduced several times, and because of this we can afford to reduce the cost of bread production and delivery, and of course the buyer, will have a price slightly lower than this price could be. companies that own their own fleet of vehicles today are increasingly choosing natural gas motor fuel for their business, installing gas stations directly at the enterprise, the price for the purchase of methane at which is even lower than the cheapest

type of fuel. savings allow enterprises not only to maintain prices for consumers, but also enable the company itself to develop, invest in expansion and modernization. the reduction in the burden on the budget is especially noticeable both for business and for cities where transport is integrated into the life of municipalities, for example, in st. petersburg, here public transport, over 300 buses, a large number of taxis and car sharing are already actively using gas engine fuel, especially since that it becomes more convenient every year and more comfortable, new gas stations appear. over the past 3 years, we... have increased our network of gas stations by about 50 units, this is only gazprom, but plus private enterprises that are also building stations today, about 70 units, and every day we sell, i’m talking purely about

gas motor fuel, from 2 .5 to 3 million cubic meters of gas in the country, the network of filling stations is developing more actively than others. stations in the central and southern regions on federal highways from st. petersburg and, in fact , to krasnodar there are no longer windows where it would be impossible was to refuel, that is, the route as a whole is provided with access to methane. this makes it possible to create cost- effective logistics routes. this is one of the largest mills not only in russia, but also in europe. 1,400 tons of premium flour are ground here per day. special equipment, cameras filming in five different light ranges, examine each grain. the marriage is instantly eliminated. every day, flour is sent from here to different regions. for delivery we use gas-powered vehicles; our

fleet consisted of 90 vehicles equipped gas equipment, we started purchasing them in 1918, now we are renewing our fleet and we are also changing the trailer composition of the fleet in order to increase the tonnage in order to reduce the quantity. the power reserve of cars running on gas engine fuel is no less than that of diesel and gasoline versions; among the advantages is an increased maintenance interval, that is, it is cheaper not only to drive, but to monitor the vehicle. the refueling process is a little longer, but drivers have already come up with a use for it. refueling, you enough to drink coffee, relax a little and continue on the road. we have been traveling for 6 years, we have a car. it has already traveled more than a million kilometers, it drives without problems, we are not going to change it for now, until the management buys or

gives new cars, yes. methane is popular today in cities and rural areas, agricultural machinery, which still can’t produce very much, is also actively being converted to gas engines and being released from the assembly line with gas ones. methane savings will help maintain prices for farm products, which is certainly important for the food basket of every russian. last year, we provided more than 100 units for a total amount of more than a billion rubles to our agricultural producers. today, by the way, it should be noted that we are testing a tractor, which, among other things , can switch to mass production using gas engine fuel, this too should stimulate the development of the active involvement of such technology in all economic production. of course, benefits also stimulate, despite the key changes.

bilases are gladly bought by our coal miners, for example, in the kemerovo region, in order to ensure the unloading of coal, with great savings on gas engine fuel. it’s not easy for a large enterprise to switch to gas at once; of course, purchasing thousands of new methane trucks is insanely expensive, and even when converting so much of the company’s equipment. an economic shock may await, so , as they say, they begin to get involved gradually, launching pilot projects. we

analyzed last year adopted the decision that we will undertake a pilot project in terms of converting part of the russian post vehicle fleet to natural gas motor fuel. this became possible after signing an agreement with gazprom, gas engine fuel as part of the national fuel program. you know, this is noticeable even on those. in the figures that we now have, uh, last year in moscow, st. petersburg, samara, kazan, yakutia on sakhalin, we converted a total of more than 100 vehicles to natural gas. at the beginning of this year there are still the same number, in general, today russian post has 190 kamaz long-haul tractors and 130 passenger cars that run on natural gas. this methane version of kamaz is produced directly from the factory, unlike the diesel, traditional, say, version, there is, well, nothing visually, the main thing is here,

instead of tanks for diesel fuel, there are special cylinders, there are also converted versions, for example, the regular lada largus, gasoline version, with the addition of features, some gas equipment was converted into a methane version, well, it’s clear why, because in all this there is a great economic benefit, today in our country methane at a gas station costs 22 rubles 40 kopecks, diesel is cheaper than 60 rubles per liter, you are unlikely to find it anymore, and here the difference is actually three times, gasoline also continues to rise in price, in addition to optimizing fuel costs , transition to... methane has another and probably the most important effect - environmental friendliness. the more cars running on gas engine fuel, the less environmental pollution. in the first quarter alone, we did not emit about 672,000 tons of co2 into the atmosphere, almost 11,000 tons of pollutants substances. this amount of greenhouse

gas emissions could be offset by a forest with an area of ​​about 2,000 square meters.

regions are introducing the principles of environmental, social and corporate management, how heart valves are produced in the penza region, how an agrotourism village is being built and how much residents of green houses save, about this and more in a special report by vera moroz. we arrived in the penza region, the region, in its strategy from the point of view of sustainable development, pays special attention to the environmental direction. high in the region industrial production rates, but the main enterprises are processing industries.

the penza region ranks eighth in providing residents with high-quality drinking water from central water supply systems. in terms of quality of life, this is the thirteenth region in russia. the region is engaged in the development of a green economy in the agro-industrial sector; in the ranking of digital transformation in this area, the region is in first place. perpetual motion machine from penza. let's start getting acquainted with the esg agenda at russia's largest production of artificial heart valves. next, we will go to an inclusive art estate and find out how people with severe diagnoses realize their creative and business ideas. smart. a house that saves energy. let's look into one of the penza courtyards and look at the arrangement of modern residential complexes. eco-friendly and safe for trees and beneficial for humans. we will see how maple juice is extracted to make syrup, as well as how the forest is replanted to create a landscape, the first in the region of an agrotourism village.

penza region is one of the centers of the medical industry. in the region a biomedical industrial cluster has been formed, biomed. medical products that are implanted into the human body, the med insh company is located in penza; more than 70% of artificial heart valves implanted in russia are created here. 20 vital devices a day, much of it is done by hand, first the valves are cut, every part is polished with diamonds.

where they are assembled, at each stage the parts are cleaned and tested, including for strength; the service life should cover a lifetime, and even more. we have the technology very unique, it is present only in the russian federation, there are no other technologies like this, since even such material is not produced anywhere in the world. how is it unique? this material, its structure is close to diamond, that is, it is one hundred percent graphite. it has increased strength, durability, blood is not destroyed in the body, since ninety-eight years, about 160.00 people have been living with... a piece of penza in their heart. now the company is working on introducing russian -made materials and components. development made possible thanks to effective corporate

management and cooperation between the group of companies and the scientific and expert community. that is, these are leading cardiac surgery and cardiovascular surgeons and other specialists in russia. this kind of cluster creates favorable conditions for all young start-ups in the medical industry. enterprises actively use all types of government support and investments; within the framework of the national healthcare project in the penzyan region , sberbank is also implementing its projects, so at the emergency medical station new modern ecg devices and digital diagnostic equipment systems are already in use in regional hospitals. together with colleagues from the ministry of health , we are working on issues related to filling our regional and municipal ones. clinics with equipment, and we are also developing solutions that allow us to make diagnoses based on big data using artificial intelligence technologies. the penza region

is a leader in working with ngos, especially in terms of developing inclusion. the number of such organizations in the region from seventeenth to twenty-second year increased by almost 5.5%. the art estate new banks is the largest regional project of assisted living here. people with severe diagnoses not only live their lives to the fullest, but also realize their creative and social ideas and ideas. nikita spirin, musician, dj, sound engineer, has been living in residence for four years and helps the guys record their own tracks in his recording studio. i have a dream that at least three or four people would come out of my sub-studio who could travel with concerts. nikita was helped to open his studio by the ber project from hobby to business mentoring school, the goal

of which is to help children with disabilities realize their own goals with the help of experienced mentors and regional entrepreneurs. i am very glad that it was here that i opened up, because the quarter gave me a lot, i had a good mentor, my mentor, this is igor zhukov, he has his own dj school here in penzia and... we worked well with him, he told me helped me with many contacts, introduced me to various people who would also help me on my creative path and they would help me. 56 residents from 25 regions live in the art estate, from the krasnoyarsk territory to krasnodar, from the kherson region and the donetsk people's republic. when it comes to working with non-profit organizations, the penza region is a leader, especially in terms of developing inclusion, and colleagues from other regions come here to learn from experience. we have a fairly powerful educational process for specialists in the non-profit sector, for representatives of the authorities of other regions, we had, it seems to me, all the regions of the country, internship sessions, excursion

trips, in fact, we present the experience of the penden region as one of the most successful in the country. according to rosstat, more than 1.246 thousand people live in the penza region. the region ranks tenth in russia in terms of housing provision. now so-called green houses are being actively built, for example, the residential quarter-continent, here there is a high energy efficiency class, the houses consume 50-60% less energy than prescribed in the standards. apartment windows operate using a thermal mirror system. in the cold the protective film retains heat over time and reflects the sun's rays in hot weather; heat, electricity and water meters are automatic. here they were the first in the region to create a courtyard without cars, which is especially appreciated.

lawns with automatic watering, shrubs, trees, all of this is looked after by a gardener, and the developer took care of the territory not only inside the residential complex, but outside it. the company has taken on social responsibility, we have an olympic track next to us, we took this territory with landscaping, created a park-union, invested 55 million of our own funds, we are there built the largest rope park in pozhi and donated a free pension to the city. one of the key partners for developers who care about creating a favorable and green environment for residents of their complexes. these are energy-saving technologies at the construction stage, these are small architectural forms made from environmentally friendly materials, this is accounting

for resource consumption, and we pay special attention to projects with a high level of energy efficiency, this is a and above, but we also help our partners increase this level and build more and more new real ones environmentally green residential complexes. it has become easier to buy an apartment in such buildings. sber recently launched a green mortgage, plus, this program includes the ability to use smart devices to manage the apartment. all together, this will further reduce costs. for utilities. in the penza region it has become easier to get to areas under construction. in the last 2 years , new trolleybuses with autonomous operation have been running here. eco-friendly electric transport marked the beginning of a large-scale transport reform. the first ten came out on line last may. among the first passengers was the head of the region. oleg melnichenko noted that there has not been such a volume of new trolleybuses in penzi since soviet times. by the end of the year, the trolleybus depot

is planned to have its floor renovated. and in the penza region they produce environmentally friendly, healthy and tasty products. 150 km from penza, here is the only industrial production of maple syrup in russia; during the 3-4 week season , almost 2 million liters of juice are collected and processed here. the juice is collected through such tubes. locally they are called maple pipelines - says the main maple grower alexander onashin. throughout. the season lasts about a month; here it is important to collect the juice not only quickly, but also safely. when installing all these lines, all these tubes, we protect the trees with the help of special tubes so that the wire on which the tube is stretched does not crash into the tree trunk. all our highways, all our side pipes, they are flexible and even if some animal enters our forest, it will not receive any damage.

the hole we drill in the wood. this about 8 mm and this is the size from which you can take no more than 5% of the sap that is in the tree, this will not affect the life cycle of the tree. 30,000 trees are connected to the highways, a new season, new holes, everything is chewed up in a year. another task is to find the hole after 6 years of collecting, that is, it is tightened so that it is not visible, yes, but most likely, here is one, here is the second. here's the third one. 1,700 hectares of forest for rent - says alexander. this means protecting and caring for each tree. fuel for lighting the stove on which the syrup is boiled, they bring it. for one liter you need to collect at least 50 liters of sap, so during the season they are actively involved in harvesting, so that later, throughout the year, maple syrup can be bottled in production. the maximum number of bottles packed per shift was 15,000. 0.2, this was

an absolute record for us, we bottle about 900-980 bottles per hour, this syrup without added sugar is considered a healthy diet, such packages are sold all over the country, in the penza region the cline factory is also becoming a tourist attraction. this is the first agrotourism village in the penza region. now there are only three modular houses here, but they are already open to guests. by the end of the year there will be four more plus a spa and tourist center. on eight hectares there is an abandoned village, from which a tourist complex with 21 guest houses, a municipal park and a ski slope will grow. the construction will be large-scale, including from an environmental point of view, says ivan merkulov, founder of the agricultural agricultural platform. very interested in create the right environment here, which corresponds to the geography, climate, and , in fact, the flora and fauna that

exists in our area. we got into technology, which we call technology, from the point of view of replanting trees, that is, up to 5-6 m, with a trunk up to 14 cm, and accordingly we are transforming the entire territory in this way. the main tourist flow so far is due to the production of maple and raspberry syrups; agricultural and gastronomic diversity will only expand. it is expected that by the end of the year the tourist flow will be several thousand people, and due to the construction of roads , it will be possible to get here not only for residents of the region, but also for other regions. this is how the penza region is developing, taking into account environmental, social and corporate governance standards, and such projects are being developed throughout the country. next time we will go to the sverdlovsk region. and first of all, the main political event, vladimir’s state visit. to

china, this is his first trip abroad since taking office, the president has already held negotiations with the leader of the people's republic of china sizimpin and the prime minister of the state council letsan, and the russian delegation. and china signed a number of bilateral documents, then the busy program of the day continued with a concert in honor of the 75th anniversary.
