they go to vote and elect these political parties in the future. the second is at the level of the foreign ministry of interstate relations. we must also carry out. it seems to me a tougher policy. well , this is what tajmit does. and all these timely accents that we put all this we do quite right and a little bit. so, returning to these small states that joined nato. it’s not ukraine, it’s a giant country with 50 million, latvia is there several million. if the decision is made. you yourself understand that further it is simple. there will be a real special military operation within a few days, so everyone and politicians should think very seriously before accepting. you understand that kind of money, yes, you should have thought about it, apparently they are on these bowls there , on one scale, there really is reason and understanding, so to speak, of the consequences of such decisions, but, apparently, there is something on the other side of the scale. i don't know if there's fear there, threats or something else,

or some kind of revenge there. ghosts. well, what is there eat. this is news on the first with you julia gamaeva. hello. the ministry of defense has named new names of those who distinguished themselves during the special operation to defend the donbass, junior sergeant ivan pastukhov, the head of the radio station provided communications in the colony of the forward control point of the nationalists , with a targeted blow, they put the radio station out of action, but the junior sergeant, despite his injuries. lieutenant colonel alexander nikiforov, an engineer at the engineer battalion under his command, was able to restore communication as soon as possible. built a pavement crossing the river. that allowed the russian

units to continue the offensive, engineers later discovered a minefield in one of the districts . nikiforov’s subordinate created separate passages through which the special forces group was able to overcome the dangerous line, sergeant ivan month as commander of a motorized rifle company, the checkpoint was liberated on the territory where he was attacked by ukrainian saboteurs in a month he took the fight , destroyed the enemy infantry fighting vehicle and held the position until reinforcements arrived. what did the russian military achieve over the past day said the official representative of our ministry of defense, igor konoshenko, during the day , five ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles were destroyed in areas of settlements, deep, lepsy, aleksandrovka donetsk, kharkiv region, as well as 10 rockets, rocket launchers. a tornado in the field area on several people's republics. in addition, one unmanned aerial vehicle was shot down in the air over serpentine island and three ukrainian ballistic missiles were intercepted near the interdepartmental coordination headquarters of our

countries reported to the response that over the past day, without the participation of the ukrainian side , more than 19,500 people were evacuated from dangerous areas of the special operation on the territory of russia. of these, there were 4,000 children. in total, more than one million two hundred thousand civilians were able to cross the territory of our country. information on the functioning of humanitarian corridors is daily reported to the official kiev of the unose to the international committee of the red cross and is published in the bulletin of the interdepartmental coordination headquarters of the russian federation for humanitarian response against this background, any statements by the ukrainian side, and, allegedly blocking the exit of civilians from the cities controlled by russian troops, look absurd and cynical. it is the kiev authorities themselves, on the contrary, who are preventing the evacuation in every possible way. citizens militants. nationalist battalions systematically fire at the exits from the settlements they blocked, using artillery and mortars. the ukrainian military deliberately destroy schools and hospitals, such a

statement was made by russia's permanent representative to the un vasily nebenzya at a meeting of the security council on the humanitarian situation in ukraine according to him, the vsu regularly endangers the lives of children and deprives them of their right to education. however. in education itself. in ukraine, it has long turned into ruins, modern kiev scientists argue that constantinople was a colony of chersonesos hercules , a native of crimea, genghis khan, in fact, a ukrainian named bagda nebenzya, revealed to those present their true origin, according to kiev. i even brought my eighth grade geography textbook with me. edited by muslika and copyrulin, if you believe him, then the ancestors of the french, spaniards, portuguese, turks, and even jews came from ukraine. i want to turn to my co-french colleague, nicolas, you knew that you were actually ukrainian. don't believe. read the textbook. i took it from there in it iron logic, since

the ancestors of the french are gals, they came from the size that in ukraine in the textbook of the history of ukraine for the seventh grade under the general editorship of the pole, this world says that the formation of the ukrainian people has 140,000 years. at the us senate temporarily blocked the adoption of a bill on the allocation of $ 40 billion in assistance to ukraine, the senator from kentucky spoke against. paul, he said that it is impossible to help ukraine by dooming the us economy, so the states should not throw 40 billion out the door without supervision. according to paul, congress, slowly once again, should carefully weigh the costs that the state budget will bring. the document was previously approved by the us house of representatives and increased the amount of funds from the planned 33 to 40 billion. dollars after what happened in the dark, white house spokesman jen psaki, who is leaving office today, urged senators to pass the bill with a new vote expected next week. yellow

level of weather danger declared in moscow and the moscow region due to strong winds, according to forecasts, gusts can reach 18 m/s. city services were put on high alert, and in the bryansk region, the wind was already raging with gusts of up to 27 m / s, rain and thunderstorms were left without electricity more than two hundred settlements fell almost 370 trees. two adults and a child were injured, almost two dozen cars and 15 covers were damaged. trains follow with a delay of the emergency brigade of railway workers clearing the way from fallen trunks in the bryansk and kaluga regions. she also hosted there. element without light. more than 4,000 inhabitants remained. almost 6.5 thousand people left the bad weather without electricity. in the kursk region, the onset of bad weather is expected near arkhangelsk, vologda, ivanovo, vladimir and rostov regions. a difficult fire dangerous situation is predicted in eight regions from the belgorod to irkutsk regions the fight against forest fires continues over the may holidays , more than 700 fires were eliminated,

which came to forests from the power line of urban areas of summer cottages , where dry grass is now burned experts put out 107 forest fires in 17 regions. by now, it's all good to see you. program time will show we work live and right now, a war correspondent, georgy medvedev, who regularly keeps in touch with us and now i hope he is in touch georgy hello, where are you? hello, really, probably, my shortest broadcast will be, because a lot of three people are compressed as much as possible. one person died. if they are to blame, it is right now that there is a massive shelling of the city due to large-caliber cannon artillery and multiple launch rocket systems

hail, i am now in the place of one of the e, arrival. here, while the advertisement was counted nine housing constructions completely destroyed, nothing can be restored here. and here two people were injured, a married couple, a man, a woman , received slight sun injuries, the man is now on the operating table. and they came here with the owner of the house to pick up the documents, the woman is very afraid, very frightened, continues to rattle from the side of the line. the front is what is called an art duel, only with the difference that from the side of the ukrainian positions it actually flies in the center, if the guilty this morning, in addition, we managed to visit gorlovka. there is also a very large-scale destruction of two people ra. and this shelling, which began a few hours ago , now does not stop, continues to whistle overhead, continues to burst somewhere. we have not yet received vodka. what new destruction is there? well , her, unfortunately. i think that this summary will be updated now , because the situation here is very difficult. is there a place for george to hide? and

the connection was interrupted. i'm worried about george now let's try. let's try to reconnect. you understand a person directly from under the shelling comes to us with a direct connection with us. give it here. attention to what he says, we have arrived women to pick up documents in the military sense. and by the way, here is another moment ruslan. the fact is that our encors have actually become, not just a military commissar, they also help civilians. send, report report, that was and leave, and they begin to get involved in this support. e children of women. here, in fact, it changes, touches to the depths of the soul, these are all the speeches of military correspondents, because he constantly constantly communicates with whom. they say, that's when we turned said, find our relatives. we found this, this is such peacefulness. this is actually such a russian kindness. here is the feeling. it is very different from the other side. there are absolutely carriers

of death. we absolutely wear life. that's how simple this little episode is impressive. unfortunately. now they say that communication cannot be restored with george. and this is happening live. we sincerely hope that he is all right. it's just a communication problem, because they fire at infrastructure as soon as we find out. and with him, well, as it were, where is he located? whether he managed to hide in a shelter , whether everything is fine with him, we will definitely inform you and move on to the following topics, which are also undoubtedly important this topic, including those related to the restoration of our economy, because that we all live, uh, in a society where there are payroll stores, you just need to come and understand what will happen tomorrow. this is a very important issue and today our president is chairing an economic meeting with ministers. and here is what he said about the sanctions that the us continues to impose on european countries. sanctions in many ways provoke the global crisis, their authors, guided by short-sighted, inflated political

ambitions, russophobia, to a greater extent, hit their own national interests, their own economies for the well-being of their citizens. we see this primarily in the sharp rise in inflation in individual countries. it has already come close to 20% per annum, and in the eurozone as a whole. commodity prices added over 11%. it is obvious that, due to objective economic laws, the continuation of the sanctions obsession, if i may say so, will inevitably lead to the most difficult and intractable consequences for the european union for its citizens, as well as for the poorest countries in the world, which are already facing the risks of famine. i emphasize the fault in this entirely and lies entirely with the elites of western countries, who

are ready to sacrifice the rest of the world in order to maintain their global dominance. in turn, russia is confidently coping with external challenges thanks to both the responsible macroeconomic policy of recent years and the systemic decision to strengthen the economic sovereignty of technological food security. our production companies are gradually occupying the niches vacated after the departure of unscrupulous partners in the domestic market, including fmcg, industrial service equipment, construction and agricultural machinery. a good harvest is expected this year, according to experts, of course, these are preliminary estimates, but still, the grain harvest may reach 130 million tons, including 87 million tons of wheat. if this happens, and

we will rely on this, then this will become a record in the entire history of russia; this will allow not only reserves to meet domestic needs, but also to increase supplies to the global market. for for our partners, the time of the meeting on economic issues with the ministers was chosen for a reason, because vladimir putin mentioned that the poorest countries are already facing this right now. we will show you footage from sri lanka, where the real riots are taking place. there it is hunger riots people because they simply have nothing to eat start robbing shops robbing villas attacking politicians, and the authorities allowed the police to shoot to kill against these hungry people who, once again, i say, did not come out with political slogans not with political demands. they just have nothing to eat. it has already begun. and this is just the beginning of sergei e, a meeting with ministers on the economic. it's on time. yes, it's very. someone

may not like a clear one, but a fair diagnosis is an objective diagnosis, reminiscent of the fact that, in fact, when we talk about this boomerang effect, someone can say an important point, georgy medvedev appeared in touch. excuse me, please, but i think we need to show us all the georgies. we were worried that everything went well. a yes, everything okay. this is a feature of the refraction zone of the donbass nudist zone - it disappears when the internet disappears, everything is constantly in order. well, if necessary, so to speak, because the city is to blame continues to be under massive attacks from ukrainian positions in large-caliber weapons. we are already there. by using this. here, by the fact that the internet was gone, they drove back, and to the hospital, where the victims are delivered, and civilians, and we will find out the condition of the man who is in the operating room. well, for those

few minutes while i was not in touch, nothing, unfortunately, has changed, breaks continue to be heard from all sides, continue to be ironed, if the culprit here, in principle, is constantly on the basis of several. uh, weeks going on a man lies on the operating table. all the same, the operation is going on georgy. take care of yourself. we are worried about you for all the people who are there. try to save. thank you very much for your work for your needed work here correctly mark or even noted that they are not only journalists. they are engaged, but in fact volunteer, but the cadres , nevertheless, we return to sri lanka, the future of the whole economists predict a great famine will begin with the poor countries of the countries of africa, then it will touch this europe, yes. let's talk about the phenomenon of such a global sri lanka. why is this happening? uh, in fact, the 1990s and 2000s were marked by the so-called globalization, when there was such an idea that, and all countries, regardless of their

political structure, so to speak. uh, well, except for several countries somehow fits. here in the merohozyaystvenny connection. yes, there is integration. actually in this global vylovich, the global village. and now, when the war of sanctions has begun, it turns out that when you have built the world here, this global world of communicating vessels, it is impossible, when shooting at another, not to hit yourself. you understand exactly what is happening. this is the boomerang effect, only very isolated countries. such as north korea , which are not included in any way, so to speak, they may suffer from sanctions. yes but it doesn't hit under another. and if, for example, you impose sanctions against russia, which is, in fact, one of the largest suppliers of energy resources, other resources, and not only that, but do you really think that and if russia creates some kind of creation? some turbulence or complexity. do you really think that you will stay in your

comfort zone no, and you leave this comfort zone at some point you endure, you think you need to be patient a little, but then the layman is a western layman. why would they explain to us that there is, uh, global power? yes, this is mined in sri lanka. and what about sri lanka? they are no longer in the comfort zone, to put it mildly, but sri lanka has been sri lanka for decades . almost the main comfort zone in south asia compared to the neighboring countries of bangladesh, any country. take india and pakistan, sri lanka - it was considered a very harmonious, society, balanced economy. here is the result of agriculture, if you drive after sri lanka, you will see rice fields, emerald rice fields. yes, never there were no problems. not with bread, not with rice, not with dairy products, not with meat. everything broke. believe me. i saw it there and when i see this footage, i can't

believe that it's happening at all. it seems to me that i am dreaming, as if it were, could we believe that biden would declare and that an economic crisis and a hunger crisis were brewing in the world. let's be honest, let's say that the food crisis will be it, absolutely all economists are arguing only about the timing and where this will happen, and there is a special military operation in ukraine. what does biden do. you know what he's worried about getting grain out of ukraine, let's hear it. in ukraine, there are 20 million tons of grain in storage. we are now trying to figure out how to get them out of the country. this will lower prices worldwide. we would have exported grain a long time ago, but that didn't happen because of putin's invasion, so we're working with our european partners to get it out. nikit no biden, not talking about how to feed ukrainians who are in a difficult situation and not about how to feed the inhabitants of sri lanka, he talks about how to rob ukraine in essence.

let's call a spade a spade, take this grain out and take it and resell it. so to resell with our european ones, that's exactly what happens. this is the notorious help, the military, all kinds of financial loans that they issue, they return very quickly return to the west, thus the grain has already appeared information. wait. let's try this in dialogue the thing is extremely, an important topic on the looks of ukraine, many are worried. they see how they are trying to take the grain from the warehouses somewhere in crops. just being in that area. where is the grain shipped to? this is when the children's god of odessa is still, which you are moldova now. actually, for this it is enough to count even the ukrainian telegram channel, just tens of hundreds of trucks with grain, it is very important that they are not sent to warehouses. because abroad , another important moment now, again, information has appeared. i think it will be soon confirmed that the state reserve of

ukrainian grain will be transported to poland koli tactical information. yes kolya so then all these notorious stocks. actually, on what the ukrainian economy is still at least somehow kept. they will be transferred to poland, and i personally have no doubts that all this grain will not be on the market in the near future. to recall such a concept that was actively exploited with the ukrainian side, how the holodomor will be blamed for this whom in the end, because because you you tell the famine in ukraine now there are already up to 30, maybe even 40% of the sown area. they will not give the same result as last year. well, simply because of logistics, because fuel prices are in short supply and so on, but this is not all very important that ukrainians have already experienced. lack of food, but despite this, the grain is exported, that is, zelensky provides all kinds of benefits, which are also very important for the agrofirm and the agroholding,

which first collect this grain. then with using a variety of schemes, they are trying to send exports both by sea and by rail and with the help of a truck, and so on. but the most interesting thing is that if the state grain reserve is taken out of ukraine, then this threatens ukraine with not, well, not just a disaster , and the real holodomor is just a real holodomor, they were invented, which ukrainians constantly talk about and naturally, they will try to blame russia. but the most interesting thing is that against this background yes, against the background of how the ukrainian authorities own citizens. our country constantly supplies humanitarian aid to the territory of the republics of the dpr lpr. and to the territory. actually , those regions that are still listed, as if part of ukraine, just here example yes, one, the moscow region collected about 600 tons of humanitarian aid, 600 tons, and that's it. this is immediately

sent to the territory where the fighting is still going on. that is, we see that even at the level of not only the federal government, it turns out that this assistance is at the level of different regions. therefore, ukraine in this case will try play this card, but it won't work. why because those people who are in the territory controlled by our troops see that humanitarian aid is constantly coming, that this humanitarian aid is saving them, it really saves their lives, and in this sense, those people who are under our protection have they definitely won't be a problem. see. in fact, the increase in the price, after all , the international monetary fund and the world bank openly speak about this. he has already predicted a record rise in prices for fertilizer by almost 70%, while the rise in prices for fertilizer. this is natural, the rise in prices for almost all foodstuffs, and also predicts a 70% rise in prices for food and energy resources, that is, the growth will be very, very large and, by the way , friends. mm, in the top of the world's largest manufacturers of fertilizer suppliers, russia and

belarus are on the second and third lines. and if we add them up, because now, in principle, we are working as a single state, because the same sanctions have been introduced against us, not from belarus is not being bought from outside of russia world economy. i think they understand the whole thing, that's all. this case was conceived, but god is with him, and with them always the community of the world organization various trade wto a let's cooperate everyone told us that without the west we can't cope. we supply this from the west, if they are not, we will find ourselves on our own. we'll manage. well, of course we can do it. i wanted another illustration of

how the west is hitting itself with its sanctions. we are used to them hitting our territory. yes, e economy by economic blows. they got used to the fact that they do not want to buy raw materials from our tantovars, but just recently. poland has banned the work of fifty russian companies on its territory, including a company there that i once founded. on what basis, on the basis of a simple seizure of property and not simply forbid, they still seize property. yes, but, what is important, there in these companies. that's just faberlic employs approximately 1.000 and receives the income of thousands of people in poland from other companies. it is approximately. there, several tens of thousands of poles work for russian companies in europe as a whole. that's hundreds of thousands, maybe even close to a million jobs. they close these jobs, so their people european ones will not receive income. correctly, i understand that in our country the companies that leave, we do everything. in order for these jobs to remain with them, they simply close them all , they fire them, that is, sanctions are not only hitting russia, but we will also hit

european ones. i think that you are the picture of the world - this is a war of value, this is a war. she is dominance, as the president of world domination in europe said that no russia that will make some kind of self-confidence of some kind they don’t need under this pressure and attempts to dominate them. we 'll manage. we will cope, we need a year to survive such a structural restructuring of the economy , some kind of severe shocks will be waiting for us. no shocks will wait for us, not those who want to arrange them, but the year will, of course, with its such difficulties, the cost of logistics has already grown very much and from europe and from asia fuel has risen in price. yes, therefore, firstly, it affected the cost of supplies. well, abroad, first of all, we are growing a little compared to their growth. they've almost doubled in size. insurance, that is, in general, it is very expensive. uh, they waited, actually the contract prices themselves are a dollar. the same euro too, but the cost of downloads. uh, western companies are very active and

some eastern ones are doing it too. well, you look with such a positive look, and we actually do too, but our viewers ask. we very often have one simple question, when the dollar rose very strongly there to 120 with a little rubles, and the prices of foreign goods jumped sharply, well, for obvious reasons. yes, because the course has now returned the course, low plus, our currency was named by bloomberg the strongest currency this year in the world, and the rate of e is at the levels of two or three years ago and the dollar continues to fall, the ruble strengthens, and prices have not decreased proportionally, if i do not agree, some of the prices have decreased, well proportionately means proportionately. no why, because apart from the cost of raw materials and components. i say there is also a logistics component, a payment component. previously, payments were cheap and went. there one day. now some payments, including in yuan, go there twice a week. i mean, it makes everything more expensive. for example, an enterprise. now the loan has risen in price before the loan was there 8-10% for

financing rates, including. yes, although the quantity does a lot to subsidize the rate, for example, and for the largest enterprises for small and medium-sized businesses. but of course, the cost of credit has risen. this also affects prices. plus , the stocks themselves are running out, some companies have all kinds of components and they have not yet found these new chains supplies, so they are in anticipation. these difficulties are also increasing. there are chances of a strong company trying to increase prices. i agree, no, globally. here is the rise in price estimates based there expensive western cars, above all expensive. yes, there are some western luxury goods that were brought to what was being produced. in russia, prices have risen due to components and logistics, but not as much as the exchange rate, there is reason to believe that prices will still fall. here we are watching ordinary viewers. they also come to regular stores and remember what was the story with buckwheat with sugar. everything has returned to normal, thank god, but will there be another normalization or this year, which we need to endure and will continue to be generally stable, there is such an effect on the market now that the second

half of april may is coming. uh, some decline in consumer demand in march. the people, of course, bought and did the right thing. i think, well, i restocked in april as well, because there are people in stock. they now began to buy less, so raise prices. i think not especially for summer will be. but, of course, in the fall, when new products come at a new cost, then some price increases, of course, there will be. well, yes, everyone has friends who work in various areas of trade and say that we, of course, raised prices . my acquaintances are engaged in car business there, but almost twice. well, no one buys them now, and what to do, now they don’t raise them. uh, nikit on our economy. tell me, too, because the dollar exchange rate on the moscow exchange fell today to 65 rubles. for the first time since february 2020 on our currency called the most stable this year, but we all remember what a leap it was and how no one believed. well , the truth, let's say and thought, honestly. we had some doubts that we would be able to stabilize the rate, not that it stabilized , it went to a record low. but this is

indeed an indicator that the macroeconomic policy that the president spoke about is well-considered, and we understand that our country is under unprecedented pressure. this is a very important point. at this meeting, the president said that the most important a marker in any case, even despite the huge sanctions pressure is the stabilization and attention, the growth of incomes and living standards of the population. let me remind you that despite all these difficulties that the russian economy is experiencing, not a single social guarantee, not a single payment announced by our state, including the president, has been canceled. literally now, in my opinion, already on may 16, there will be production. regular payments to families with children under 16, which our president spoke about right right second a very important point, we see how conditions are created at various levels at the federal regional municipal level, for which, in order for business to retain jobs, here again i, uh, i have many examples, i will give the closest example, because i am there i live in the moscow region , for example, what did they do in the moscow region to rent land

for 1 rub. is it possible to imagine such a measure of support some time ago, the second very important moment is freed up by a business that has more than 50 people in the state. for example, in the same what’s going on in the moscow region ? next, what have we done with this sector now? some kind of tax breaks, tax deferrals, that is, the economic system that we have already been rebuilt against the backdrop of the challenges associated with the coronavirus pandemic. we see it adapted very quickly, including to the external threat occurring against the backdrop of the coronavirus, which hit understanding very hard. i, uh, think that in a sense this is both a competent policy of our state and president, and in that sense, luck. why? why because export, in spite of all this export of our e-hydrocarbons export of our products
