now we have you already and what can she do? these questions are really, really er and fonderlain blinkins. they're looking pretty pale right now because, well, they're supplying some weapons that don't actually reach the front yet, but the rate of destruction of the ukrainian e military is much faster than the rate of supply of any western weapons, so, well yes, it will prolong the fire of the kiev regime, but no more than that, also with gases. i think everything will end up with those countries that want to pay for rubles already paid. like turkey, like hungary, slovakia, they will simply sell gas, at a higher price, to those strange people who do not want to pay. uh, uh, for rubles. and on this. actually, european solidarity will end, as far as we are concerned, we will remain out of gas from money, which is the most interesting, because they will pay more and in this situation absolutely all the cards are in our hands and

our right cause will certainly win. it's up to us to pass the baton in the program time, and the big game will return to this studio at 23:00. total good to you. take care of yourself. hello ekaterina andreeva main events lightning-fast response to external threats causes of the ukrainian crisis and economic development under sanctions key statements of the president at the council of legislators, which met in st. on

a citizen of the united states, a former marine serving a sentence in russia, were left without fuel gazprom suspended supplies to bulgaria poland after he did not receive money under the new payment scheme in rubles. house by house apartment by apartment russian special forces of the liberated settlements of donbass are looking for the remaining, probably nazis. their part of the work on the first railway bridge between the countries across the amur . when will the crossing be opened? to know to remember we were proud in russia, the st. george ribbon is a symbol of victory that unites different generations on the day of russian parliamentarism

a great conversation with the northern capital, the meeting place is very symbolic , it is in st. new very difficult challenges. and the answers to them must be resolute and adequate to the situations he spoke about. vladimir putin addresses the council legislators on parliamentarians. now the president emphasized the enormous responsibility, the most important statement in the report by alexei cherepanov . carried out by us in the donbass and ukraine, which began on february 24, will certainly be carried out so that the historical the prospect of guaranteeing security measures for residents. eh, the donetsk and lugansk people's

republics of the russian crimea and our entire country need to be clearly aware that our soldiers and officers averted a real danger that has already hung over our homeland with their courage, determination and heroism. they determined a large-scale conflict that would unfold on our territory, but already according to other people's scenarios. the forces that have historically pursued and are pursuing a policy of containing russia have historically pursued it this way. basically, old times. you are good. you know, such an independent country, why they did it, because such an independent, big, huge country, even according to their ideas, is not needed. they believe that it poses a danger to them simply by the fact of its existence. although it's far away. not so, they themselves represent a danger to the whole world.

uh, we remember, but do you remember the barbaric plans of the nazis against the soviet people to drive them away, right? who is able to work to force him to work, subordinating arab labor and slave conditions, and who not needed beyond the urals to the north to extinction in their documents , it was registered here, this is a historical document. we remember this, we also remember how the western state in the early 1990s in the 2000s encouraged international terrorists and bandits in the north caucasus to speculate on the problems of our past, on really problematic issues, and on the injustices of the past in relation to. uh, in relation to entire peoples, including the peoples of the caucasus, but they did this not in order to do it in case it was not at all, but they did it in order to to bring the problems of the past into our lives today. in order to stimulate

separatist sentiments in our country, vladimir putin emphasized the purpose of these destructive actions. it was supposed to be russian national unity. they wanted to corner us. however, their plans failed, our side forced the production of new geopolitical weapons. actually new. it is essentially. this is not , but certainly surmountable new forces new impulses have relied on russophobia and neo-nazis. from year to year brazenly unceremoniously they turned our neighboring country ukraine into anti-russians, let me remind you. after all, when russia, uh, benevolent, would say in a friendly, comradely, but fraternal way about the creation of an independent ukrainian state . creating

the most competitive conditions for our development yes in the new historical conditions. well, of course, to create in the historical russian territories anti-russia, no one expected, yes, and we cannot allow this, and then, of course, they brought it to a clash to a direct clash, pushed ukraine and let me remind you of a direct clash with russia with our country. such plans, including a military attack on the crimea and donbass, were spelled out. unfortunately, in the doctrinal ukrainian documents of today, and the fate of the consumables is prepared for the ukrainian people. i think that awareness of this is coming to a large part of the people of ukraine. the entire course of recent events, including the claims of the kiev regime for the possession of nuclear weapons, the deployment on ukrainian territory of a network of western biological laboratories for the uninterrupted supply of the most modern weapons to ukraine confirm that our reaction to these cynical plans. it was correct and

timely, if someone intends to intervene in the ongoing events from the outside. and then they should know, yes, and they will create for russia an unacceptable strategic threat for us . they must know that our response to counter blows. uh, will be lightning fast fast. we have all the tools for this that no one can boast of now. and we will not brag, we will use them if necessary, and i want everyone to know about this, all our decisions on this matter. after the start of a special military operation, the kiev regime, choosing as its target the journalists who talk about the course of the company, the president called plans to physically eliminate employees of some state-owned media as an attempt at a terrorist act , criminals, terrorists, neutralized were detained from

he is conducting investigative actions, but it is no secret that such methods of murdering their own journalists and politicians right on the street have been used on the territory of ukraine in recent years. quite often now they decided to transfer this practice to our territory. of course, uh, we will do everything in order to protect those people who work on official channels on russian television on radio e, to protect those people who work on the internet and take , e, take a patriotic position from such, of course, the vast majority in our media space, but we must understand that such a threat exists for everyone. of course, we can not provide e-protection. uh, he sees the fso fsb or the national guard there, uh, but we will do and must do to the maximum to ensure their

safety, but what i want to say, and of which i am absolutely sure. these are the attempts to intimidate those who work with these edinoroslel to intimidate russian journalists who take a patriotic position, and the reasons for complete failure, on the contrary. here i am not i don’t doubt it for a second, on the contrary, it will bring even more people into their ranks to show that we have people who are not afraid of anything and who are ready and will defend the interests of our country. even more efforts are required today from diplomats and all those who work on international platforms, so that the russian point of view is heard, the evidence base added the president, it is necessary to form and for all the crimes of the nazis this atrocity, an objective legal assessment will be given, but it is necessary now to raise all these questions at the international level, including at the parliamentary level , for our destructive purposes. the west never reached the president stressed. but those who seemed

to be reliable trading partners unleashed a real economic war. the pressure of sanctions is unprecedented today, however , the russian economic financial and banking system has levers of containment and counteraction. there are quite real already several packages of anti-sectional measures adopted, e.g., in 2 months, dozens of the most important laws and laws which have already passed through legislative assemblies and through the parliament of russia, i want to note that specific decisions will be made in the near future. regarding the indexation of pensions of all social benefits, as well as the salaries of specialists employed in the public sector, for the practical implementation of this step, i ask the parliament, uh, parliamentarians, to carefully work out all the necessary amendments and legal mechanisms, these and our other decisions are aimed at providing direct assistance, most , vulnerable categories, citizens, families with children and older people, key sectors of the economy,

small and medium-sized businesses are also being and will be supported by the strategic enterprise. as a result, we not only took measures, which i just said softened, but, as already mentioned, we blocked the very first, as they believed in the west, a crushing blow from illegitimate sanctions against our country, while all market and economic institutions have a good resource for development added to putin it is important not only introduce measures. support for russian manufacturers, but also to monitor the implementation of anti-crisis decisions to ensure stability and strengthen the country's industrial sovereignty. well , how many planes we used to produce carriers. with great pleasure they bought foreign equipment. yes oh, foreign technology, there is an advantage in terms of noise and fuel, but it is necessary that our performance strive for these standards, but they could hardly solve

this problem in conditions when the domestic market seized by foreign manufacturers. this is the problem with almost all goods, but where possible, where, i repeat, we have advanced schools, engineering personnel. prepared capacity it needs to be developed in such areas. we have a lot for a lot for a lot of production lines. moreover, high-tech production opens up good new modern opportunities. as already said, we will respond to rough often clumsy external eyelashes to the destruction of all civilized rights and treaties to attempts by us isolate greater freedom of entrepreneurship, openness to honest partnership, respect and reliable protection of owners and conscientious investors. all these tasks require direct participation in the deputy corps. e, both in the center and in the regions. i ask you to personally

work directly with the heads of municipalities and enterprises with npo business, labor collectives to help them in solving problems that arise. as a result, to reach additional systemic support measures for our country there were always serious challenges, but the answers to them also followed immediately, the russian leader emphasized when he finished his speech. i wish you good luck and success in your future work. and, of course, congratulations to everyone. with the upcoming great main holiday for us, the holiday of the great victory, i am sure that unbending will, courage, loyalty to the fatherland. er, will always er, inspire you all of us. thank you very much for your attention. all the best. before meeting with the parliamentarians, vladimir putin thanked the council of legislators for their support and professional work, which, by the way, this year celebrates its tenth

anniversary should remain, that is, the most platform for making consolidated decisions. moreover , the deputies in the russian regions , alexei kripanov, should also be more actively involved in the process of developing norms and documents that will help counter new challenges. vladimir smirnov shamil ksenia ugarov's factory vladislav pasechka and pavel rudakov channel one, st. petersburg. we have not abandoned our own for more than 10 years of fighting the american judicial system the words of an american judge about our negotiations at the level of the presidents of russia and america today ended the torment of the russian pilot konstantin yaroshenko , who, in violation of all international laws , was detained in a third country in liberia, accused of trying to transfer a large consignment of drugs, then the russian was deported to the states where he was given 20 years in prison. wine. he never recognized and then 10 years. he was kept in difficult conditions, denied medical care and was not allowed to see his family. in general, the entire set of pressure on psyche and health. now everything is behind the exchange in

turkey for an american rowdy who was serving sentences in our country, and soon konstantin yaroshenko will be able to hug his loved ones, who have not stopped fighting for him all these years kirill branin about this difficult matter and a long way home. it will seem cruel to you, but i give you 20 years. pilot konstantin yaroshenko and his family heard these words in an american court 11 years ago , the judge found the accusation of intending to transfer a large consignment of drugs proved konstantin, who was detained by the us special services in liberia in 2010, did not admit his guilt all these years, his relatives had to fight for every seemingly simple step from visiting the consul to the first date. it became possible only in august 2018. during this time, konstantin's mother died of cancer, and her daughter was 14 at the time of sentencing. he saw already an adult. the meeting was very sincere and on such emotions. of course,

i did not want to show tears, but of course, it was such a meeting of joy at the same time. some despair then four years ago there was no hope of a quick meeting again. it is known that the case of konstantin yaroshenko is at the talks. in geneva in the summer of 2021, the president of russia and the united states were discussed in the press then the possibility of exchanging the russian pilot for paul whelan convicted of espionage was actively discussed, but in the end it turned out differently. . moreover, in the unit guarding the head states. he came to study in moscow, then there was a drunken scandal in a restaurant and resistance to the police in 2019, he was convicted in russia for attacking a representative of the authorities, he had to visit the mordovian colony from there and see him off ready to refuel, let

's go now and so they put him on a plane, and then the lawyer says. konstantin yaroshenko everything was like an airfield in a third country in a spy movie, and the exchange participants never saw each other, as far as i know. this happened in my client's turkey and accordingly american citizen trevor reed, e, was taken to turkey on special aircraft and the planes were standing. uh, next to each other and prisoners escorted. and, that is, they moved from one plane to another and actually. this is how it all physically happened. and here are the first shots of the freedom of konstantin yaroshenko in a russian plane. so, according to all the laws in the homeland, on the legs there are traces from the bracelets of the united states, it is customary to put fetters on not only hands, but also to connect the shackles with a chain. if we call things our own

names, there are headphones, but such a brace swims and they didn’t move at all, it’s impossible. this goal does not hurt can not. it's on the plane to see a doctor in a prison. konstantin, with medical help, had, to put it mildly, problems that the exchange would take place, lawyer alexei tarasov found out. last week , alexei calls the very possibility of releasing the pilot an easter miracle, but for the family there is another wonderful coincidence of his daughter. yaroshenko just had a birthday, but last weekend. so it's just a birthday present for easter. that there is just a very small joy for this family. it is clear that all this did not happen overnight, a legal justification from the american side, the lawyer has not yet been seen. but this is either a pardon or an annulment of the prison term, any of these decisions are made personally by the president. that is, one can only guess. what forces were

involved in the process and how difficult it was, those who, as commissioner for human rights tatyana moskalkova, were directly involved, certainly know huge words of gratitude. first the turn of his wife and daughter, who believed and not for one second did not stop actions for his release. it is very important when relatives support and believe in themselves. of course. i want to say words of pride for our country. russia does not abandon its own, given the level of relations between russia and the united states. and it has hardly ever been lower than the current analysts, this exchange is called something incredible, but at the same time, inspiring hope, firstly, in the ability to negotiate, despite what, and secondly hope for other prisoners of american prisons such as viktor bout, for example, kirill branin, convicted in the united states for alleged arms trafficking for 25 years

ekaterina karyaka olga gerasimenko ekaterina ovsyannikova ekaterina loginov channel one. they do not want to work according to the new rules, it will be convenient and simple to pay in rubles and gas will no longer be today gazprom completely stopped deliveries of blue fuel to bulgaria poland due to the lack of another payment. let me remind you that vladimir putin instructed to switch to settlement in the national currency and buyers warned in advance about the consequences of the logic of these countries to understand, it is difficult for them to propose a completely correct scheme, which, under sanctions, allows russia to receive money for its gas, and not be subjected to pressure and deliver to the west. fuel, while remaining without payment and funds can be immediately frozen in foreign currency accounts, but i’ll gouge out the russian proverb to spite my mother-in-law . let her take will be a curve. bulgaria is more obvious they don't know why they want to harm themselves so much to look into the depths. the subconsciousness of our partners was tried by mikhail akinchenko. if such payments are not made, we will consider this as a failure to fulfill

obligations on the part of buyers. with all the ensuing consequences, no one is selling us anything for free, and we are also not going to do charity work, that is, existing contracts will be stopped by this time. the president's warnings were clearly frivolous about bulgaria and paying more for gas in rubles. they refused outright. but now there is no doubt about the inevitability as of late business hours on april 26 , gazprom export has not received payments for gas supplies in april from the company, bulgargaz bulgaria and pg ineg. poland in rubles in accordance with the decree of the president of russia in this regard, gazprom export notified bulgar gas and pg ng, and when gas supplies were stopped, starting from april 27 and until payment was made in accordance with the procedure established by the decree , gazprom did not give an additional month for reflection and so it was more than enough. so that already in the morning the polish energy company,

whose statement was referred to by the national channel. interia. confirmed the termination of russian gas supplies. suspension of gas supplies is a violation of the yamal contract, therefore the company will take appropriate steps to restore natural gas supplies under the contract and reserves the right to exercise all of its contractual rights. as well as the rights arising from the provisions of the law it is possible that the poles had in mind a law allowing the freezing and confiscation of russian assets. it was adopted in poland just 10 days ago and is listed as a company. whose property was at risk, including gazprom however, their polish law. we already have a russian answer ready. bulgaria poland are transit states. in case of unauthorized withdrawal of russian gas from transit volumes. in a third country, transit rates will be reduced by this amount, of course, for now. this is a hypothetical scenario for the development of events, but it cannot be completely ruled out, not by chance the greek prime minister. urgently gathered energy broadcasting. after all, greece receives russian gas. it is through bulgaria as hungary

that a significant part of natural gas supplies to hungary, 3.5 billion cubic meters per year, or about 10 million cubic meters of gas per day, goes along the so-called southern route through turkey, bulgaria and serbia. in this regard, the news about the termination of gazprom's supplies to bulgaria looks alarming. we have already stated to hungary that there are no problems in paying in rubles, especially since gazprom has made the payment scheme as convenient as possible for european buyers. each of them must open two accounts in gazprombank, one in foreign currency where dollars and euros are received, the second in rubles, the proceeds from the sale of the received currency will go there. the bank takes care of this on the stock exchange. takes over the money in both accounts will belong to the buyer exactly until the payment is received by the seller only after that the gas will go through the pipe. poland and bulgaria opposed. now. here, gazprom is experiencing a gross violation of the contract and blackmail to force them to use a payment scheme not provided for in the contracts through third parties, which does not guarantee either the supply or

the safety of bulgarian money. here, of course, the bulgarian prime minister frankly invents for half a century that russia supplies gas to europe, there was not a single case that we were paid, but they did not receive gas, but there are cases of violations and rewriting of contracts for political purposes in europe, even from the contract - this is not the holy scripture , it changes regularly, but they pretend as if not, here are 50 years and the same contract and russia does not waive its contractual obligations volumes of pricing formulas, all the basic conditions remain the same, and even changes in this currency calculation, and it is also really insignificant for the company that this can be seen in this way, not only in the example of hungary, no objections. the new scheme did not cause, for example, the german energy giant company uniber, and the government of austria, we un fau company accepted the conditions. payment was also made in germany . it was important for us, and therefore, during our conversation, putin himself assured that gas would continue delivered and can be paid for in euros. this

situation has not changed for us, the stability of russian gas supplies to austria, germany and hungary is much more important than disputes over the form of payments, the latest open data for 2020 suggests that out of more than 10.5 billion cubic meters of gas, austria received 8.5 from and about the same picture and hungary and in germany, more than 40 billion cubic meters out of 86 in 2020 were russian. by the way , the same bulgaria receives almost all of its gas from russia. poland is a little less than half of the poles to word, they have the opportunity to purchase the same russian gas through the reverse from germany, and they have already begun to do this in the volume of deliveries through the gas pipeline. imal europe from west to east. has grown only for today at once in five times. but to buy gas from the bulgarians, for the time being, i don’t think from anyone else that bulgaria will just understand from hour to hour from day to day that it was wrong and will return back to the scheme that it has now adopted europe is strangely

small e political dependent bulgaria e do. well there's some put forward a separate a position that the european commission does not support there. uh, germany is there, austria well, to put it mildly, it’s strange that bulgaria demonstrated some kind of infantism when, under pressure from brussels, it abandoned the south stream project to replace it, which came, then the turkish stream. it is possible that even now sofia is on someone’s urgent request. it simply tests russia's determination, for example, european commission president ursula von der leyen spoke out sharply against ruble payments for gas, but last week. european commission. still agreed that the russian payment scheme does not violate european rules, however, judging by indirect evidence. many buyers switched to the new payment procedure even before this decision. someone, apparently, really paid in rubles, because we saw very strong exchange rate fluctuations. yes, starting april 15th. that is, apparently, someone came with large masses of dollars and euros and exchanged them for e,

respectively, rubles. that is, i think that a number of companies have already made their payments. e in currency. and this currency was converted, that i reverberated on rubles. that is, it strengthened, either against the dollar, or against the euro, precisely against the background of the fact that some amount changed to who exactly has already paid for gas in rubles, and who is still preparing, but opened an account in gazprombank for this, trade secret, which today gazprom does not disclose due to obvious political reasons, nevertheless, the well-known business publication bloomberg, citing its sources, reported that there are already at least a dozen such buyers. but, most likely, there are many more of them, given that there are 27 countries in the european union, and of these, only two were cut off from the gas, mikhail lokinchenko, evgenia stefanchuk, irina bliznyuk stanislav aplet. channel one the russian military during the special operation in ukraine has already destroyed more than 2.5 thousand tanks and armored vehicles of the armed forces and over 250 aircraft and helicopters, such

data was given at a briefing tonight by the official representative of the ministry of defense igor konashenkov. and that's what our forces managed to do today. air-launched missiles of the russian aerospace forces hit 17 ukrainian military facilities, two command posts were destroyed among them unit of ukrainian troops, as well as 15 areas of concentration of manpower of military equipment, operational tactical and army aviation , the russian aerospace forces hit 38 military facilities of ukraine, including seven command posts, two anti-aircraft missile systems, one of 300 in the nikolaevka area and one osakam in the area velyka kamyshevaha two districts, as well as 27 places of concentration of manpower and ukrainian military equipment by artillery units, during the day 309 fire missions were completed, 14 points were hit management of 292 areas of concentration of military equipment of the armed forces of ukraine, as well as three ammunition depots in the chervona and

ilyichevka districts of the kharkiv region. russian air defense systems shot down a mi-24 helicopter of the ukrainian air force in the area of ​​​​cherkasy lozovaya, kharkiv region , and two ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles were destroyed in the areas of settlements of sand, rachkovsky and borshchevka. and two more ukrainian drones were shot down today by the forces of the national guard in the energy city. this is the city of zaporozhye region, where a large nuclear power plant is located, one of the drones flew into a kamikad just to it, if the device had not been destroyed by the consequences, the target of another drone could have been catastrophic. apparently , there was a task from the administration. as can be seen from the markings, both drones were released in poland by the forces of the people's republics the support of our military continues to push out. well, the nazis from the donbass in the liberated settlements are working with special forces looking for militants who could stay to quickly resolve humanitarian issues. how does this happen practically on the front line in the northwest ln.
