considering the exchange of prisoners between russia and the countries. the president held the nato security council meeting with special attention; it was devoted to international issues, here is the footage from the beginning. today we have several issues on the international agenda relating to our country and our interests, the speakers are, respectively, the minister of foreign affairs and the director of the foreign intelligence service, well, i would ask you, in addition to the planned issues, to discuss the most current events. recent times.

prisoner exchange deal between the us and russia was obviously a victory for vladimir putin. the russians were able to extract an excellent, phenomenal deal from biden, said donald trump. today new details have become known. russia did not forget about its own for a minute. this is special, vladimir putin emphasized. with details anton potkovenko. negotiations on the exchange, which is already being called historic, were conducted mainly through the fsb and the cia. russian dialogue. american intelligence services were not advertised, as it should be in such cases, exchanges, especially of this level, are a very delicate matter, free the russians vladimir putin’s tough position made it possible to exchange, and not extradite , convicted americans as a gesture of goodwill, noted presidential press secretary dmitry peskov, according to him, they tried to put pressure on our people there, according to one of the gru employees, the americans tried to influence this employee gru, who was imprisoned there, they found here...

in the west there is a life sentence and it seems they cannot come to terms with the fact that they had to let our people go. in germany, for example, insinuations continue about sentenced by the germans for life, and now exchanged vadim krasikov, an fsb officer who served in the alpha special unit, along with several active members of the presidential guard. tabloid headline bildgarton killer free. tiergarton, because in this park in berlin in 1919 the militant zelimkhan khangashvili was shot dead.

he was one of the organizers of the explosions in the moscow metro. foreign agents handed over to the west by extremists rushed to give interviews and announce press conferences. on this year in bonn, yashin, pivovarov, kara murza, as usual, pretend to be victims, but it doesn’t work out very well. a delegation of doctors came to each of us this morning, about 10 people, probably wearing masks, yes, they woke us up at 8 am with a very dramatic look and said that we had received the results of your tests. we have. there are the results

of your blood tests, we found a deficiency of vitamin d in them, we saw the sun only through the bars of the windows, so, but in general, we are actually fine, we did not know when the exchange would take place, but we worked on it, went to the state deb , they collected a package of documents about the state of health of the client, says igor litvak, the lawyer of roman seleznev, who was detained by us secret service agents in the maldives in 1414 and was found guilty.

about this, he pinches his leg and says: dad, this is not a dream, i say, it’s not a dream, it brings me to tears, we just have to pay tribute to the special services who carried out this operation at... the most complex level with the highest degree of preparation, so no one here, believe me, really knew, except those directly involved, that's why i learned about the result of this operation together with you, with everyone. gonzalo baye, a lawyer for the russian-born spanish journalist pabla gonzalez, aka pavel rubtsov, who was arrested in poland in 2020, notes the extraordinary resilience of his client, and of course, pavel hoped that he would be exchanged.

putin, they don’t speak russian, and putin is tea, that is, they didn’t even know who greeted him in spanish, he said “boinas noches.” greetings in spanish and a bouquet from the hands of the head of state. red path, guard of honor, everyone who managed to be exchanged was greeted as heroes who defended the interests of our country and did not break down in prison. the fate of all russians who are now imprisoned abroad in the united states.

willon, emerging from the plane, is the first to be greeted with applause and hugs. posing with smiles for the cameras, both joe biden and kamela haris are so carried away that they seem to forget how many people they exchanged. and this is evan gershkovich just coming off the plane, hands on hips, smile from ear to ear. arrived in the united states is immediately showered with gifts in front of journalists, it seems, for the sake of ratings, on the eve of the elections, the democrats are ready to take off the shirt off joe biden, who has dropped out of the race. to somehow correct his image. president biden gave me his pin, it's an american flag, he wore it on his lapel, we were chatting, he took it off and gave it to me, so it's a keepsake. joe himself is also trying his best, almost attributing all the negotiations regarding the exchange to his beloved. did you think

this moment would come? what made you feel so confident? my relations with other heads of state with whom. usa and germany, the conversation i had with the american president emphasized this very much. playing along with the democrats, the german press agrees with washington; for donald trump, berlin would hardly take such a step. however, the step, in the opinion of the german public, is controversial; while the minister of justice calls this the most bitter concession to vladimir putin, others are much harsher. this is vladimir putin's middle finger

to the west. he showed it to them, and it above all a powerful message by his agent. it says: we will take care of ourselves, we will bring every agent home. there are plenty of indecent gestures in the west towards the white house. bloggers not only talk about biden’s failure in the negotiations, but also remind that in 2018, donald trump brought back three americans. yes, he has influenced many around the world, one of his students works in your studio, it is completely unfair that he

was not brought home with the others as part of this exchange, the biden administration would have done nothing lost from this. biden was criticized for the highly publicized exchange, allegedly bringing home journalists accused of spying. the white house is provoking new arrests of americans abroad, which means giving opponents leverage over the united states and allies. over the course of a week, the russian army carried out 11 group strikes on military factories in ukraine, assembly shops and storage areas for combat drones, as well as on ammunition depots, military echelons and militant deployment points. during this time, zelensky’s formation lost more 13,600 soldiers, mercenary officers, 14 tanks and 42 other armored vehicles, as well as almost 200 self-propelled guns and missile... systems, mainly produced by nato countries, were destroyed. there are fierce battles on the outskirts of toretsk.

this is an important node, the key to the slavic-kramatorsk agglomeration. about the confrontation between fpv drone crews and the battles of the terek brigade, our military correspondent evgeniy podobny. the closer the front edge, the faster you have to go through sections of the road. at the front, the main factor of losses remains.

now they are doing everything possible to slow down the advance of our troops and support the infantry units of the kiev regime in defense, help maintain their combat stability, despite serious opposition, our units are slowly moving forward, the enemy is in a similar position, our group accompanies the crew of kamikaze drones, the task is to destroy a disguised stronghold of the militants of the kiev regime in a forest belt, for this purpose engineers attach incendiary

ammunition to the drone; hitting dense tree crowns with other types of projectiles is currently not effective, listen, how many kilometers can you fly with an air repeater? you can fly a raft up to 20 km, this is just a panacea for many ills, so i went, go ahead. for a few minutes the supporter of the formation of the kiev regime is on fire, our crew goes to shelter, pividron pilots, a civilian volunteer worked as a 3d visualizer, he didn’t even serve in military service, but here he is in his place, he says, he went to fight because of the barbaric shelling of russian cities, oh, well, well, the heightened sense of injustice is somehow unreal. anger, there you go i really want to be somehow on

our side and effective when you look at footage from the same belgorod, something like this. indiscriminate attacks by militants of the kiev regime on civilians have inspired many who are now here at the front to take up arms. we stop by the terik reconnaissance cossack brigade, it is staffed with volunteers. on the front line, he says, the situation is difficult, here on... not with the army of ukraine, in principle with the army with the intelligence of nato and the west, so it is clear that all the enemy’s actions are fully supported and developed information and other types of support precisely by our most important enemy, who is known to everyone, well , naturally, the enemy suffers heavy

losses, because we, too, as they say, eat our own bread for a reason, we constantly inflict fire damage, we work with all our might. means to inflict maximum damage on our enemies. our units, through fire damage and assault operations, constantly force the enemy to bring up reserves, just as the entire time that a special military operation lasts, the command of the armed forces of ukraine is trying to hold front at the cost of huge losses. evgeny poddubny, ruben mirobov and stanislav yalovsky, lead. solidaro, artyomovsky area, nwo zones. vladimir putin congratulated him on the day. airborne troops, personnel and veterans. a congratulatory telegram was published on the kremlin website. the president emphasized patriotic traditions, loyalty to the oath and military brotherhood that help paratroopers solve important tasks during a special military operation. the head of state is confident that the airborne forces will continue to reliably guard independence and sovereignty of the country, ensure

scary, no matter how difficult it is for the paratrooper, he will never talk about it, because everyone knows, no one except them, there are airborne troops and there are no invincible tasks, egor grigoriev, dmitry vishkevich, mikhail utkin, varvara shepherd, lead. in nizhny tagil, the death toll from the collapse of part of a house after a gas explosion has risen to ten. two more bodies were recovered from the rubble. according to the ministry of emergency situations, 15 people were rescued, seven of them children. 11 victims are now in hospitals, five in serious condition. search operation continues, 550 people and 74 pieces of equipment are working on site. the city authorities declared august 3 a day of mourning. 25 apartments in the building were damaged after the explosion. a city hall employee will be assigned to each victim to help people restore their documents and purchase new housing. a powerful downpour covered perm,
