indeed, the main focus is on the military operations that are taking place on the eastern flank, where the main forces of the ukrainian armed forces of the national battalions are concentrated. uh, bow forming. azov aidar and so on and so forth, which will be destroyed and which are unlikely to be able to make, well, full-fledged competition to the russian armed forces. not in terms of their armament, not in the provision of fuel and lubricants, and not in the possibility of providing air cover, therefore, of course, the ukrainian armed forces doomed. e in the short longer term and the kiev regime. unfortunately, still can not grasp this reality today. uh, there will be online talks between the russian and ukrainian delegations. but we, frankly, do not expect any cardinal breakthrough. well , there will be a military operation. our cause is just and of course,

the upper hand will be ours. we pass the baton to the news and meet again in this studio after 5 o'clock news. fight against total russophobia new gas payment scheme in rubles negotiation process with kiev and unilateral western sanctions that russia and india will be able to overcome all these topics together. today, the focus of our foreign minister sergey lavrov on an official visit to delhi in the near future, negotiations should begin with the prime minister on rendering and fashion, and earlier there was a meeting with the head of the indian. mida all the details, we will learn from our correspondent ivan

prozorov he goes directly to the studio from the capital of india ivan you are live. hello ekaterina, the laptop is literally just before the beginning of the broadcast of a colleague from the russian embassy. it was reported that the meeting between sergey lavrov and the render mod has begun and it is reported that the head of our foreign ministry and the prime minister. india is discussing the most pressing issues on the bilateral agenda, and they are, in principle, understandable. this is security, of course, increasing trade flows, a new world order, sergey lavrov spoke about all this to journalists at a press conference, where he answered questions in russian and in english, respectively, to the russian media and indian colleagues. here the indian publications asked why now the head of our ministry of foreign affairs chose such a route china and india, where he actually arrived the day before, and the head of our species emphasized that this is quite, naturally, the route moscow beijing and shared building up partnerships in various formats in various fields, our state has a general idea. how to develop the troika in the interests of the whole world. and what is important, our country has common approaches to a number of international problems, the main of which is a

guarantee of security for many states. we are for providing security guarantees and ukraine to all the european countries of russia in accordance with those documents that have been adopted for many years within the framework of the opsi, which proclaimed the principle that no country will strengthen its security at the expense of the security of others, this is where the roots of this whole problem lie, when the west simply ignored these obligations and created a direct military and ideological threat from russia, then such neo-nazi tendencies and practices, and on the territory of ukraine, continue, lavrov was asked about in the negotiation process between moscow and kiev, the prospects for initialing a peace treaty, the head of the foreign ministry, as well as possible meetings between vladimir putin and vladimir zelensky, there are no final approved plans, lavrov stressed, and negotiations should continue. the ukrainian side has put on

paper its vision of the agreements that, uh, need to be reached, uh, and these agreements. in general, they should form. first, we have a reaction. there is forward movement. first of all, in the same regard, er, the recognition of the impossibility in ukraine to be a bloc and a country the impossibility for ukraine to seek happiness throughout the atlantic alliance without a nuclear one. this is not block neutral status. this is what is now recognized as absolute and necessity as well as e. we have seen much more understanding of yet another reality. i mean the situation with the crimea and the years. well, in this context, lavrov, of course, noted the balanced position of india, despite the fact that in fact they are trying to exert pressure from the united states to great britain when it became known that lavrov would come here for talks in edel

landed the day before, one might say, a whole anti-russian diplomatic landing force arrived here on march 30-31. uh, biden's adviser. this is the director of the national economic council of the white house dolipsink, he is called one of the architects of anti-russian sanctions, and right now, at the time when sergey lavrov is hunting here, and the head of the british foreign office is also staying at the same time the list of tracks, which is called well, which is known for its outright rosophobic position, but despite this, india is able to withstand the pressure strengthens ties with one of the key allies and partners it is about increasing the volume in trade and remittances. uh, payments in rubles and rupees , talk about creating a system of cross-border payments. this is an alternative to swift from which some russian banks have turned off. such a system is needed primarily for the calculation of mutual settlements. e for oil. uh, india is ready to step up. export volumes from russia and indian media a number of indian media even said how this system can work and reports that specialists from our central bank can arrive in

delhi this week already discuss the details. so, as the media reports, the system can work on the basis of the russian interbank financial information transfer system. it functions on the basis of, and the mega-regulator of our central bank, but in fact, and thus the rejection of settlements in dollars and euros is approaching. what did sergei lavrov say about this process? for a long time he uh coordinated with china and with delhi, and this is what the head of our species said about this. as for gas supplies to europe, our president announced the signing of a decree with conditions that, in my understanding, are quite acceptable for the west. the fact is that they pay us in foreign currency, and then freeze our accounts according to the proposed schemes. it is fair and allows us to receive payments in rubles in general, the reason why we are switching to national currencies is the absolute unreliability of our western partners. they have built a system that can be blocked at any moment and our money can simply be stolen. well, here's one more gesture of trust from

india and from the side of the purchase of energy resources - this is an increase in the supply of russian oil, because the middle eastern sources are closer to delhi, but the fact that delhi said that they were ready to increase the export of russian oil, but still about a lot, says another important point. this medicine is something that many european states are now blocking the supply of medicines to russia, and so these niches are ready to be closed by indian manufacturers, who, in principle, are known, but for high-quality medicines. this issue was also raised, that is, the issue is no longer just about the reorientation of trade flows, but the issue of autonomy and independence from the western, so to speak, commercial economic and political dictatorship. all attempts by europe are striving for some kind of independence towards strategic autonomy the united states has stopped and single voices that are

heard from france in particular, they no longer decide anything in fact, a unipolar world has been created, for sure, this is all being done in order to recreate one polar world and proclaim this process as a struggle of democracy. with autocracy, but when these democracies united, here, and in this state, and led by washington, they themselves in the complex became an autocracy in the international and they profess permissiveness for themselves. strengthening communication within the framework of this trio moscow beijing and sharing the way is

permissiveness to stop and still make the world multipolar about what for sure, sergey lavrov to talk with the renderer of the fashion and as the head of our foreign ministry emphasized , he will bring all the details of the negotiations from india from china from moscow to report the president. here are the details ekaterina yes, thanks ivan our correspondent ivan prozerov is following the course of the official visit of the head of the russian foreign ministry. this morning in belgorod, a civilian oil storage facility on the western outskirts of the city was attacked, as a result, fuel tanks caught fire, half of them have already been extinguished, two people were injured, the presidential press secretary commented on the situation. and the ministry of emergency situations went there and is being accepted in order to reorganize the fuel supply chains so that what happened in no way affected the level of supply of all the necessary types of fuel. well, of course, this is not something that can be perceived as creating

comfortable conditions for the continuation of negotiations. now personnel from the ministry of defense with high-precision weapons destroyed anti-aircraft missile systems s-300 of the armed forces of ukraine in the krasnopol artillery ammunition case, in just this day the russian armed forces. they disabled about fifty military facilities of the armed forces, these are ammunition depots and command posts and systems salvo fire and the position of military equipment in the air , one ukrainian helicopter and eight drones were shot down. and these are our marines and airborne troops from the river, irpin. they advanced 5 km towards kiev, managed to capture a lot of captured weapons, including french spanish italian in the vicinity of chernigov , our military got completely serviceable t-64 tanks. retreating equipment, the fighters threw in, inside, full ammunition. there are nato- style thermal imagers for communications and navigation. with the support of the russian army forces

people's militia have already liberated 136 settlements in the donetsk people's republic, more than 90% of the territory in the lpr. they also cleared out the bow of the formation, what kind of people they were in general. in what state were they when we taught civilians? what instructions were followed better than any words, these questions are answered by the finds that are now making in the already liberated villages of traces, use, drugs and brochures with specific prices for the destruction of russian equipment. here is just a small part of what turned out to be at the disposal of our military reporting of the world yusupov u a house abandoned by fighters in three electoral elections, nato weapons and dozens of bulletproof vests of western and ukrainian armor plates, fourth class, yes. and this, apparently, sawn into pieces armored. door. her pieces were placed in bulletproof vests to enhance protection. according to the inscription, a sniper rifle shot was supposed to withstand. it was written on it that another

location of the ukrainian army right in the residential sector was specially designed to provoke return fire on civilians there were several mortars points, but the most interesting thing is inside the house, here is a whole warehouse with fifty-120-mm mines, prohibited by the minsk agreements, they have been hitting the territory of the lpr for 8 years, moreover, similar firing points. only on this street in three electoral districts there are almost a dozen and in each for several hundred minutes, if at least one such house had received an answer. i think within a radius of up to a kilometer, all the houses of the world's inhabitants would have suffered, for sure the deaths would have been an assumption. lpr, happy new year, the ukrainians, apparently, considered mines more notes about how to properly fire a 120mm mortar. directly prepared them forbidden to shoot, here is a memo about the war, published by net the national endowment for democracy. it is famous for sponsoring coup d'état and military conflicts. it is contained by the us budget. here, allowances for destroyed russian equipment are indicated, which in the year

the book was published in ukraine did not have a jet system at all 60,900 hryvnias. ah, combat aircraft 121.800 hryvnia. well, and, yes, in addition to the salary, according to the stories of local fighters, they lived in houses, fled or dead people, where the local ukrainian authorities determined to enter, they were resettled by the military civil administration. we had instead of the village council, it became very scary when they stand here at home. this is wrong, because you shoot, shoot back and shoot where the house is immediately opposite. there at home, this is the very thing we are, he is there, he is with us, too, here are the children. well, of course, scary in almost all positions are traces of drug use from the lungs. this bulbulator is the so -called artisanal production for consumption. marijuana home vitamins and methadone originally in ukraine a special program was created yes to lead the team to the top drugs. yes, this is a

new program. well, then they still learned how to do it in an artisanal way. this is a house that turned out to be even more terrible, even stronger in places where drugs are constantly inducing the fighters themselves to participate in a bunch, chaos. yes, they recruited such drug addicts, they didn’t even look. who is he, what did he do, when he came in he got drunk, when he wanted something for us, there were no problems with the supply pavel bondarenko in 2016 started selling drugs in the same year he was detained by the sbu officers, they offered a suspended sentence instead of a real term, but there was an ultimatum to continue the business. true, they asked a lot to change the clientele somehow to contacts with military personnel with this tense situation, and i gave them something heavy. that is, what is used through the vein. well, i didn’t have such contacts and they also asked me to smoke in a conversation. as i understand it, they generally arranged

this manual by supplying it. and to me they already actually speaking, they contacted at the moment when they had some kind of interruptions, problems were there and all that was found. the drugs were confiscated from the compositions for examination, the investigators will find out who supplied them with captured weapons, they also took away everything except the prohibited ones will go to the needs of the front, and the territory was cleared of those shells that could not be neutralized, such a cunning mining system was destroyed in this observation post. those who were here, if they saw the advancing enemy forces through this window, they simply plugged the plug into the socket. all mines here are energized. krasov is here egor shelepov artyom stasyuk channel one luhansk people's republic on the situation in ukraine vladimir putin spoke by phone with the president of belarus the head of our state gave an assessment of the ongoing negotiations with representatives of kiev alexander lukashenko again expressed support for the actions of the russian side, in addition, the leaders discussed issues of the bilateral agenda and promotion union integration, and also exchanged warm

congratulations on the occasion of the day of unity of peoples in the two countries, which is celebrated tomorrow. russian the party has done everything to ensure the safe operation of ukrainian nuclear power plants taken under the control of our army, this was stated today by rosatom director general alexei likhachev at a meeting with the head of the international atomic energy agency rafael grossen. this week he visited ukraine and today he arrived in kaliningrad he thanked russian specialists for their support and commitment to key security principles, the head of growth, in turn, emphasized the balanced professional and depoliticized approach of kgt the main task of the state corporation rosatom is to do everything so that, uh, the rich have complete information about the events taking place. and, of course, uh, the most difficult conditions of a special military operation, but to give an opportunity to the team, uh, serving the station personnel, and to fulfill their

duties. we have outlined further ways of cooperation and determined the long-term one. get away interactions safety safety and safety that's what these three topics were. actually, the subject of our negotiations in recent hours, our goal and task is to continue work together and make sure that the numerous facilities of the ukrainian nuclear industry are in a controlled state. generally. i can say that the situation is under control. but there are things that require clarification, the agency will work to clarify the situation and assess it. in russia today, monthly allowances for children from 8 to 17 years old will be received by families in which the income does not exceed the regional subsistence level. the procedure for receiving child benefits was as transparent and convenient as possible, said anna kuznetsova, vice speaker of the state duma, at a meeting of the commission of the general council of united russia for the protection

of motherhood and childhood effectively. one such method is the one-stop-shop family support format for parents. uh, for moms with kids. hmm, it doesn't matter how many deportations are created by the ministry of funds in the country for it is important that an answer be found to a specific life question, that some kind of alarming situation has occurred. would they know where to find it? where can you find help and support? those who actively support our military on the internet were noted today by activists of the youth of the all-russian popular front. someone is making videos. someone writes poems , photographs, draws, exposes fakes to help the project site behind us. true, the organizers looked through tens of thousands of posts, and selected the best

winners, handed mugs and t-shirts with more special operation to protect the inhabitants of donbass well, those who got in touch with remotely will receive souvenirs by mail. that's all for now, thanks for being with us, and right now the program time will tell. the information channel continues its work in the studio of oles losev anatoly kuzichev. this is a live program time will tell as a result of a strike from two ukrainian helicopters that entered russian airspace at low altitude tonight there was a fire at an oil depot in belgorod and this is what he said about this incident press secretary of the president of the russian federation dmitry peskov of course, this is not something that can be perceived as creating conditions comfortable for the continuation of negotiations. it is not for us in the presidential administration to give any assessments. this should be done by professionals. air superiority

during the operation is an absolute fact, this is true, and as for what happened, it is not we who should give assessments, but our law enforcement agencies in belgorod, of course , the president was reported, well, the president was reported. uh, accordingly, we are waiting for and as vladimir sergeevich peskov correctly noted the comments of law enforcement agencies. such is you naturally reported them well. for now, let's look at the situation in mariupol at 90-95% the city has been liberated. now the nationalists are concentrated, and the vases have stood up, we are following how events are developing, meanwhile, the residents of liberated mariupol, those residents who managed to escape from the hands of the nazis, they share their emotions and impressions and ask that we do not abandon them. and they didn't leave. 2 weeks not could not go out, and then more neighbors. i see them for the first time fed. now this little bow is already

very afraid that i will go nowhere, how will i leave them , i won’t go anywhere, if only you don’t leave us , we were waiting, waiting for the manda of heaven to stop in the winter, and somewhere there us a very beautiful city. but i want to tell you, when in the fourteenth year they launched, you see, some kind of american program. there were so many bandera concerts that came in large numbers jumping here all at once in these rights, all embroidered shirts, all changed their shoes. instantly directly interrupted in the air. well, hammer stood there near the substation for 2 weeks, 2 weeks, without leaving. and here, down there, there is a tank, too. and here is the

tank and here is the plane. only flies stalled the plane will fly by. they again begin to move then by 5 m. and again they do not fall into the same place. no, but here is a bandit, this hammer , what did he do? he fired and fired every 5-10 minutes around the clock around the clock. and this is where they stopped. sorry for the red car, how they hit the guy, then dragged the car. they threw him into the car into the car and took him somewhere. maybe somewhere in the sea. maybe somewhere else, most likely, i do not live above. it’s a pity, of course, they didn’t work, it’s a pity very much. it's a pity, i think they won't leave us, they will help us to rebuild, it's true, i told you, you'll say it again, the truth, of course, we won't

leave, of course it's true. so now, as for mariupol itself, mariupol, where now, well, a meat grinder is taking place, a real hack in the most severe uh, yesterday two helicopters were shot down by the dpr people's militia, one of the helicopters, which, by the way, was characteristically destroyed from the captured stinger manpads, there are different versions. why or for whom these helicopters flew, but according to the dpr authorities, the helicopters flew to mariupol for the commanders of the ukrainian national battalions. at the same time, two two militants. e two crew members. i don’t know, one of them was lucky enough to survive, one of them, a member of the azov national battalion with the call sign odessa, the second senior lieutenant of the main intelligence directorate with the call sign belmag, who is or was, probably, already correctly speaking an air instructor landing training and repeatedly participated in the ato. that is, he is one of those very remember, we talked and discussed. it's half a million people have been through, but this is one of them in a helicopter. he was sitting at the machine gun was supposed to provide fire. listen to what he has to say. labinsky dmitry

vasilyevich call sign since what year was called on february 21? this year i arrived in march, i was supposed to have chevrons and then served, as it turned out to be a helicopter. i'm 300th in the helicopter you took 300ths who was the oldest on board? i am i don’t know, because there is a pilot who is 16 people 15-16. and the trekkers were the eldest on board, who was this? i won’t tell you because i don’t know who is the senior of your company unit, call sign, chic chic chic name what’s the name i don’t know, because i’ll

call everything from us. what account were you in the helicopter? i don't know about us, because i saw one big flash, closed my eyes, fell to the floor and woke up. i'm already on the ground, and he says, crashed helicopters, when they arrived at the port. by about 5:00 in the morning, too, today at 5:00 in the morning they flew out. well loaded. there, literally half an hour, maybe even a little less, and in the port, on which platform you won’t take, they are standing. i won't tell you because i'm not local. well, i don’t rummage around at all, there’s nothing there, who is guarding the port now, too, i can’t tell you anything, because i don’t know. how many people were loaded into other helicopters, almost 14 15 people were

loaded and azov was loaded in different helicopters? yes, i wonder who was loaded there? and why, but i don’t know the testimony. or the story of the second shot down and, accordingly, captured, please. at dnepropetrovsk was there, the head of some kind with aviation with the national guard four helicopters, mi-8, most likely, these alexandria helicopters were from him, i can’t tell you and the pilot was caught for the first time. how are the national guard turntables and support, if i'm not mistaken, if i'm not mistaken, then people fly in different ways. well, like no one flies twice, the only question that i asked the guys who are boys is better. do you know what

they cooked? the helicopter said no. that is, therefore, they have not yet flown the route. i cant clarify. but the fact that they did not fly, they told me, yes, that is, a helicopter flies along this route once, somehow it is so significant on the one hand. and if petrovich a can explain this, please, that it was a planned evacuation action. and there is an assumption. who do you know, here, uh, when they say that they carried 300, as far as they show three hundredths together in mariupol, they achieve it themselves. this means the wounded, yes, and for the wounded to drive two helicopters with such a risk. well, it's possible this is a fairy tale for poor your assumption, and this was a planned action to bring out the most significant elements of the azov people. there, representatives of pmcs , representatives of the defense, the action was planned, the operation was planned in advance, that is, by attracting intelligence from nato countries, which calculated the route along which helicopters with a

low flight profile should move. they did it, they did it, at such an hour that they call it pre-dawn. yes, when people usually become dull, vigilance, that is, they calculated a lot, calculated that there would be no zenith missiles air defense systems in the city . they read everything, but did not read what they were already waiting for and did not read that they would be shot down on the way back. that is, uh, there were attempts, because before that there was an attempt. they also drove two helicopters, one was shot down, the other left. and here they still covered, and with a mi-24 helicopter, which was supposed to provide fire support, but since these two mi 8s were beaten 24. he returned to the seaport area, by the way, it was assumed that they should land on the azov steel but took off not from the seaport, in fact, in mariupol there are now three zones in which hostilities are taking place. this is the city center. this is, uh, a piece of azov steel and a piece

of a seaport. these three zones are now undergoing stubborn opposition battles. fighting for every meter trying to evacuate civilians. here, but this one is so outstanding. yes, part not quite exactly, because it is cut, primorsky district, where the sea field show me well, let me show you that approximately somewhere here in this area a part has already been cut here, and here again. too cut. that is, they have a grouping here , right here, and in the azov region they have become and in the seaport area, and here you can, of course. do you have a short one? tell me do you have a guess? here's what you need to export. eh, there are high-ranking. you said that you will remember this old tactic of someone else, uh, in order not to tell what is superfluous or why in the fact that these people really know a lot, and also for example, the americans evacuated the isis, and from the zones, when they are there was? it is clear that there is a bank the formation will be crushed and evacuated

evacuated towards afghanistan, remember, this has been said many times. it's the same here. these people are prepared. these people know. they know who they interact with, what they do. it’s the subordinates who don’t know anything, and they know too much. why are they carriers of them, if they give another unit to command, they will quickly bring it in, they can organize it in a combat-ready state and will be able to lead it again. training centers where they will share their knowledge, that is, this is very valuable expensive personnel. got it. yes, we do not scatter such people, of course, in order to finish off those who are being held hostage. see what is interesting at the personal request of french presidents emmunel macron and german chancellor ol fashulz to russian president vladimir putin today at 10:00 am the russian armed forces reopened a humanitarian corridor from mariupol to zaporozhye with an intermediate point in berdyansk, the head of the national center announced this the day before management.
