ironically, i can call vladimir putin as my godfather in politics.ause when he came to power and the way he talks and what he's saying, what he's doing, the laws he's passing through duma, told me that russia is done with a democracy and i should do something. i should join the opposition movement, but, you know, i didn't find myself in a more depressing situation than previously. for example, in 2008, the biggest rally, the biggest meeting i participated in was maybe 100 people, maybe 200 and meeting with 1,000 people was tremendously big. but in 2011, 2012, we saw rallies participating with hundreds of thousands of people, so i saw different times and, uh... it doesn't bother me how many people now come into the streets. i enjoy doing the right thing. but in a way, you've just made my point for me. you had a momentum between 2008 and 2011, 2012, it did appear that you were building a real popular street movement but look at today. today, more than 80% of russians say they approve of president putin but also the international situation is changing a

vladimir putin congratulated alexander. additional funds from the federal budget will help update all municipal infrastructure in the regions. about the decision to highlight them mikhail mishustin said today. what amount did he name at the meeting with the deputy prime ministers? we will allocate 12 billion rubles to russian entities for the modernization of utility infrastructure as part of a specialized federal project. the funds are intended, among other things, for updating utility networks, repairing boiler houses, wastewater treatment plants, so that... their accident rate is reduced, and residents receive quality services, because clean water and heat in the house are what primarily affects comfort people's lives. during implementation of the infrastructure menu, its tools have proven their effectiveness; with their help in the regions , not only housing and communal services facilities are annually repaired or put into operation, but also kindergartens and schools are brought into proper condition. public transport

, vladimir putin and moscow. soared to the top of global news trends.early 3 years ago, the biden administration illegally spied on our communications and then leaked the contents to its cronies in the news media. they did this to prevent the interview we were planning with putin. last month, they definitely did the same thing again, but this time we still came to moscow. elon musk, this is his great merit, promised not to provide pressure and not block this interview after it was posted on the x platform, and we appreciate it for that. western governments, on the contrary, will probably struggle to censor this video on other less principled platforms, because they are used to doing so, they are afraid of information that they cannot control. elon musk, by the way, not only wasn’t scared, he himself actively got involved in the promotion of tucker carlson’s announcement and reposted it on his page, also a huge number of views, but slightly less than himself carlson, either because the world- famous billionaire reposted it late, or the whole point is tha

that's the way vladimir putin operates. remember, navalny had more than 6 million youtube subscribers. published a lot of material about corruption specifically related to vladimir putin. he was considered a threat to putin because he was able to mobilize public opinion against putin's autocratic kleptocracy. now, the key thing to keep in mind here is that russia is going to elections in march. even though navalny was not in a position to really to be a threat to vladimir putin from jail, from a siberian go log. putin's message is to everyone else. don't do anything but vote for me and ensure that i receive 90 plus percent of the vote or else this is how you are going to end up. that's why he poisoned a man a banned chemical nerve agent. turned a man into a human dirty bomb. killed his opponent in 2015. not because these people were real threats to him but he wants to deliver a message to his own supporters and to everyone else and put the fear in them that they have got to toe the line. >> lawrence: so true. if you are jus

vladimir putin has set a goal to halve water pollution.30 in russia all necessary solid waste should be sorted, this is just waste sorting, and that at least 25%, that is, a quarter. became the second raw material. well, starting tomorrow , a special personnel program “time of heroes” will be launched. participants will be able to take part in it all the fighters who are involved in the special operation. heroes of the northern military district should take leading positions in the education system, business, government, and lead regions and enterprises, vladimir putin said. in addition, participants in the special operation will have priority access to higher education at leading universities. the president emphasized: the elite are those who serve russia, and not those who are stuffed. pockets of the nineties since march 1, twenty-four , veterans of a special military operation, as well as soldiers and officers who are now fighting in active units will be able to apply to participate in the first training stream of a special personnel pr

vladimir putin visited the enterprise. first stage of modernization for the production of the updated tu-160m. power. the plant doubled, 150,000 km of new workshops and laboratories, as well as hundreds of pieces of equipment, were built specifically for the production of this machine. the strategic bomber has been updated almost completely... more than 80% of the component parts have been replaced with new, more powerful engines, modern avionics and updated coating, just a few changes. tu-160m is capable of carrying up to 24 cruise missiles. the aircraft was created entirely digitally. four updated vehicles are already in the process of being delivered to the customer of the ministry of defense. the first missile carrier launched was named after valentina tereshkova. today the president proposed a name for another updated one. named after the first president of tatarstan, mintimer shaimiev. are we in tatarstan? let's call him merkimir shamir. there is this lead, this is a person who has done a lot, let’s call this missile

the strategic missile carrier tu-160m with vladimir putin on board will take off with you from.tching this truly unique event, so, lifting off the ground , taking off, now, of course, everyone is very interested in finding out what the route will be, this, as you and i understand, is a military secret, presidential press secretary peskov said that the flight will last about 40 minutes, and you and i know, of course, the tactical and technical characteristics, we know that... this missile carrier can carry nuclear warheads. the news about putin's flight spread through millions of messages around the world, and of course, the residents of kazan rushed to their windows. words during the flight that our program was able to hear. the country, and the whole world, froze in anticipation, waiting for every new shot and new message, a return. vladimir putin's flight lasted 30 minutes, of course, the most interesting thing is now to learn about his impressions. is it possible to do this right here, because it is very noisy and very frosty, but, i think, we will all try to find out about h

last year, vladimir putin addressed the federal assembly on february 21. special military operation and the supply of western weapons to ukraine. the head of state spoke about the development of the country's economy under sanctions. noting its nevertheless stable growth. and vladimir putin also proposed new measures to support citizens set the task of increasing wages. in addition, the president announced the suspension of russia's participation in the treaty on the reduction of strategic offensive arms and spoke about state support for the fighters who are participating in the special operation and their families. how long does a message usually last? on average , a presidential address usually takes about an hour. the shortest performances were in 2004 and 2005. they. so, as we have already said, we repeat, it’s not scary, this year the president’s address is taking place in gostiny dvor, the most convenient place for holding such a format, where the president addressed the federal assembly in 2023 and 2021. in 2018, for example, or in the twentieth and

he survived and accused vladimir putin of trying to have him killed. russia only to be thrown into jail once more. protests erupted across the country, fuelled in part by publication of yet another video accusing the's president of corruption. despite a hunger strike in international pressure, mr navalny remained behind bars, designated a terrorist and sentenced to long years in prison. alexei navalny leaves behind a wife, daughter and son and a country where opposition has been utterly stifled. just a reminder of a breaking story here on bbc news and that is in the past few minutes russia's prison authorities have announced that the leading kremlin critic alexei navalny has died. a statement online says that mr navalny had phil burleigh after a walk and lost consciousness soon afterwards. it added that doctors had arrived straightaway but that all attempts at resuscitation had failed. details are still coming in and i'm still joined by my colleague vitaly shevchenko. ijust joined by my colleague vitaly shevchenko. i just wanted joined by my colleague

where does this leave vladimir putin tonight? where does this leave vladimir putin toni . ht? , , ., tonight? interesting question, we have not heard _ tonight? interesting question, we have not heard from _ tonight? interesting question, we have not heard from vladimir - tonight? interesting question, we. have not heard from vladimir putin today about what has happened. we have heard western governments demanding consequences for vladimir putin because of this. it's hard to imagine what those consequences could be. russia is already the most sanctioned country in the world. an arrest warrant has already been issued for vladimir putin by the international criminal court relating to the war in ukraine. domestically, vladimir putin looks pretty strong, he's about to secure another six years in power, i imagine, next month. his potential challengers and rivals are either in exile or in prison, mr navalny is now dead. lots of repressive legislation means people are frightened to come out and protest. so in the short term i think vladimir putin looks secure. his problem is, though,

tell us what are the main aspects in today's address by vladimir putin, can you?

vladimir putin stated this at the forum of future technologies. varvar nevskaya will tell you what else is in the spotlight. a person and his health should be at the center of the entire healthcare system, as vladimir said. putin , as part of the plenary session of the forum of future technologies, the entire system from primary care to leading clinics and institutes needs to be adjusted to preserve the health of citizens. the head of state said that starting from the current by 2024, tariffs for the provision of medical care in rural cities will be equalized , which means that the level of financial support for factories, medical outpatient clinics, and other primary care organizations will significantly increase. last year for medical. we have introduced monthly payments for primary care workers, i propose to increase their size from march 1 of this year for specialists who work in small towns, regional centers and villages, while paying special attention to the need to support doctors for the most in-demand referrals, as well as workers , emplo

of course, that's perfectly consistent with everything that we know about the efforts by vladimir putin and his russian intelligence operatives to interfere in american presidential elections. happened in 2016. we had 17 of our intelligence national security agency's finding that vladimir putin attempted to engage in destabilization and cyber surveillance at the dmc. the hillary clinton campaign, they engaged in propaganda campaigns through social media in 2016. in 2020, the treasury department under president trump ended up imposing sanctions on various russian operatives working for vladimir putin. so, this repeats that pattern. there's been an effort up until this day. and my colleagues, when confronted with this evidence just say, russia hoax. what part of it is the hoax? is it the warring ukraine? is it the death of navalny? what is hoax like about it? the hoax is that there's a russian hoax. there's not a russian hoax. there's been a series of efforts by vladimir putin to destabilize and undermine american political democracy and he's done the same thing in other countries around

it was a defense of vladimir putin. it was this love of vladimir putin.as a strong leader, a great leader, that when i brought up that he killed journalists and political opponents -- >> he shrugged. >> said we kill people, too, joe. and he continued doing that. we have seen now -- it's hard to believe, but we've seen now other members of the republican party ate that line and there is -- there is right now a connection, donald trump, viktor orban in hungary, an anti-west thug, that runs hungary, and vladimir putin. and you have seen the trump right move in that direction, and it is just absolutely frightening and jarring and unlike anything we have seen in domestic politics that major figures are now going to the side that, well, people who consider america enemies. and "the wall street journal" editor at large gerard baker wrote about this, this morning, in a piece titled the moral blindness of putin's apologists on the right. the only response of all decent people to the death of alexei navalny, the brave critic of vladimir putin's regime, in a siberia

vladimir putin and his family even. then after being arrested numerous times, after being attacked, after being attacked with green dye in order to try to make him look ridiculous and intimidate him, he was ultimately poisoned, nearly killed. after recovering in germany, we decided to go back. he decided to go back with his wife, and he knew as soon as he got off that plane and set foot in moscow, he would be arrested. he was. as soon as he arrived back in russia, he was sent to prison, first not far from moscow. in december, he was transferred to this prison in russia. he went missing, even his lawyers didn't know where he was, until he showed up at this polar wolf of facility, a penal colony north of the arctic circle for 1,000 men. according to prison officials, that's where he died. he took a walk, according to their account, and then collapsed, lost consciousness. they tried to revive him and were unsuccessful, according to the prison authority, according to the russian news agency. vladimir putin has been informed

vladimir putin told american journalist tucker carlson about this. the interview caused a stir; in the very first hours the number of views on social networks exceeded 60 million. the president shared his opinion on the situation in ukraine, its origins and settlement, as well as relations with the west and other important topics. i listened to the conversation. not a talk show, but a conversation, which vladimir putin and tucker carlson immediately designate as serious, and it is clearly aimed at an audience that has little idea of ​​what connected russia and ukraine over the centuries, and what led the entire region to its current state of affairs. the detailed story amazes with the amount of detail of the tv presenter, a historian by education, and covers a huge period from bogdan khmelnitsky to lenin and stalin, from the so-called... instead of the promised non-expansion of nato to the east , it is also a deception, despite this russia proposed creating a joint us and europe and a missile defense system defense, came from washington refusal. and
