can be given for adoption to another family, but we felt that the slovenian special service, it also did everything possible to save, to leave the children in slovenia, so that we would be together, we felt that there was enormous, enormous pressure on slovenia from special services of other countries, the same cia agents were putting pressure on them, the guards of the slavic prison on...

then she started to cry a little, she also told dane, but he treats it more calmly, but very positively, the main thing for us is family, and this is what keeps us going and... and family is the country. a few hours later they flew home, and there, in the government vnukov, they were met personally by president vladimir putin. the head of the svr, sergei naryshkin, and the director of the fsb, alexander bortnikov, and the minister of defense, andrei belousov were also there. an unprecedented view opened up before anna from the porthole picture. when i saw the guard of honor from the plane window, i started crying and sophie started saying, i see you crying for the first time. we never doubted for a minute that the country remembered us. spanish-speaking catholics, now they

that both were engaged in espionage on territory of our country, from anton potkovenko. march twenty-third year, yekaterinburg, correspondent of the moscow bureau. ural-vagonzada, referring to the editorial assignment, asked to provide him with information on the activities of the defense enterprise in the context of the svo, to reveal state secrets. well, what is the best way to do this? i did it with me. yeah. the only thing that is good. because - we will not even write what we saw. we will only have anonymous comments , that is, neither we are suspected of collecting and no one is suspected of dachik, we have like it will be written anonymous sources and told, this is a recruitment process, which we have heard, we see, this is nothing more than recruitment, and recruitment is an operational

event that is carried out only by representatives of the special services, so to say that he is simply a journalist is ridiculous, in the western media this is exactly what they write, like the journalist was sentenced to... on the basis of allegedly false accusations, here is an article in the wall street journal from august 2, a day after the big exchange. the trial of gershkovich, called fictitious by washington, was carried out secretly, and the russian authorities did not publicly release any evidence to support their claims. well, here they are, the evidence: secret documents in the hands of gershkovich, the one whom he considered his source at the defense enterprise realized that the american journalist in quotes needed information classified, brought it to meet. magic, informing the fsb. and when the operatives arrived, gershkovich, this is clearly visible, wanted to hide the documents somewhere under table, shove it between the couch and the wall, eventually caught red-handed. as was former us marine paul willan. here he is on december 28

, 2018, during a secret meeting in the restroom of one of the rooms at the metropol hotel. his contact, as the intelligence services say, hands willan a flash drive with secret information about the personnel of the russian fsb. then willan is caught red-handed, a search of the room and here he is already pensive in the fsb reception area. now, after the exchange, he has perked up, he is ironic. we are watching all street journal again. you know, the fsb caught me, said that i was a spy, apparently, an army general, a secret agent, this is an absurd story that they made up and they would not have left it so easily. i visited these spies in the detention center in rifortovo. when they were there even before the court decision came into force, well, it is clear that today they will in every way deny their connection with the american intelligence services, working for them, for many of my colleagues who work in the west today,

it is no secret that willan and gershkovich were engaged in here directly by intelligence. both were sentenced in russia to 16 years in prison for espionage, both were returned to the states in exchange for... vladimir putin signed a decree on payments to the families of investigative committee employees killed in the new regions of russia during the special operation. the document was published on the legal information portal. in the event of death, a one-time payment to relatives will amount to 5 million rubles. payments are also being introduced for investigative committee employees injured in the svo zone, this is 3 million rubles. ensuring national security, development armed forces and support for special military operation fighters. such. priorities in the work of parliament, as well as other branches of power, were outlined by vladimir putin. the president spoke about this at a meeting

valentin matvienko, the key areas of work in this session were improving the tax system, social support for families with children, strengthening the security and defense capability of the country. we adopted a whole block of social laws, more than 150, that is , slightly less than half, these were social laws, primarily aimed at supporting." families with children, this is such a personal topic for you, i know how strictly you ask everyone, and there really were such real support measures that improved the financial situation of families with children, this affected 4 million families, where 10 million children are being raised. another priority is support for participants in the special military operation. this spring, a record number of laws were adopted, 15, in just 2 years over 230 initiatives concerning benefits for soldiers, their families, treatment and... rehabilitation, as well as the recovery of the wounded. senators are in constant contact with the ministry of defense, the fatherland defenders fund,

commanders and soldiers of the units. i am in i met in eslovodsk at the ministry of defense sanatorium, where the participants of the special military operation undergo rehabilitation, we had a very detailed conversation, everything is fine, everything is good, but they say: you know, we need not only medical, physical rehabilitation, but psychological, allow us so that our wives can rest with us in the sanatorium, these are the best psychologists, that's for sure, and the hospital management says: discipline will be better, all medical will be carried out, and of course, they haven't seen each other as families for a long time, we are now together with we want to prepare proposals with the ministry of defense, you should bring them, i think this is right, among the key legislative decisions matviyenko singled out the first adjustment of the tax system in a quarter of a century, its changes will allow for a fair distribution of the fiscal burden and, most importantly, with non...

privileges and additional support, one of the main events in the state duma , the deputies approved the new government of the prime minister, his deputies, federal ministers, except for the security bloc and the ministry of foreign affairs. please, dear vladimirovich, we have this the session was special because for the first time in modern russia the state duma participated in the formation of the government. this procedure was not simple, we spent 8 hours talking, discussing the candidacies of ministers, 6 hours of deputy prime ministers, 4 hours discussing the candidacy for the chairman of the government, listened to the programs, conducted

a dialogue, but this certainly brought its benefits, because if earlier the deputies, as a rule, in cases when something did not work out, said the government was to blame, now this decision, the norm adopted our citizens during the vote for the constitution, brought us closer, closer first of all, in terms of responsibility. 66 billion rubles have been allocated for the family mortgage program. payments to families with three or more children have been increased. payments for class management in schools have been increased, and a law on a progressive scale has been adopted.

the economic sphere, almost the same number in the sphere of budget, taxes and finance. the main task of all... the front line, on the line of combat contact, risking their lives and supplies, supporting our guys who are in good health to protect the interests of our state, and of course, their family members, all this will be a priority for the future work of parliament, already in the autumn session, at first
