defense ministers of the countries of the shanghai cooperation organization and the commonwealth of independent states have gathered in moscow today. well it would seem that there are only two organizations, but these two organizations represent the majority of humanity. this is more than half of the world's population. who were able to agree among themselves on the general principles of security, because they see that the threats to this security. they really come out. in general, from one center, which is called washington county. uh, columbia and all of them all these ministers laid flowers today at the tomb of the unknown soldier. i assure you in all countries and in all cis countries, these are the values ​​that russia upholds, they enjoy much more support than the values ​​that the american congress is preaching, passing laws for the

legalization of same-sex marriages, or what the ukrainian authorities are guided by, which is concerned about their own enrichment and destruction own population, but our cause is just and the victory will be ours to the news and we will return to the studio of the big game at 16:50 not to be missed. hello, at the first, we will tell you about the most important events right now. the meeting of the supreme european eurasian economic council ended in bishkek, following the adoption of 15 documents, including the decision to start negotiations with the united arab emirates. in addition, the main directions of the international activities of the eu were determined, the budget of the association for the next year was approved, when

russia will preside over the eurasian economic union on how the meeting was held and on the main statements in in a report by konstantin panyushkin, the leaders of the eurasian economic union began to gather at the alla archa residence. at the beginning of the tenth morning in moscow, just at that time, snow fell in the capital of kyrgyzstan. vladimir putin takes off his coat in snowy bishkek on the street at minus eight. here today is the final. this year. the summit of the state is the chairmanship and transfers it to russia. when alexander lukashenko arrived, it turned out that he himself got to the site on foot. the most crucial moment, did not start, limousine evangelistic residences participants of the summit walking distance of the father. today, among the main topics of the formation of the eu common gas market in bishkek, a decision was made to create a council of heads of authorized bodies. in the field of energy, the benefits of cooperation within the union are obviously the prices for energy carriers in the euroses countries are fundamentally different from the corresponding tariffs in our e, neighbors for a special one. well, let's say for gas

the difference in prices for gas in the eu countries z is 10 times or more, not some percentage, but 10 times or more. well, this, of course, gives the appropriate the conditions for economic development in our zone, the space inside the eu, in principle, looks much more stable than the outside world, the figures show this. in particular, the unemployment rate for 9 months of 2022 decreased and decreased, and in the eurasec states, very decently, very noticeably by 18%. and it is slightly more than one percent one in ten percentage of the total labor force within the eu growing volumes of food production and construction inflation is declining, especially noticeable in russia, which is affected by

colossal sanctions pressure is an obvious trend to reduce inflation in the eurozone countries. the highest rates of inflation over the past 30-40 years are all in uh double-digit values, and in some eu countries they can reach, well, sky-high values ​​for the european economy of 20 percent or more. in general, with regard to the financial system of the eu, there is an obvious trend towards trading in national currencies, a progressive movement. in this direction, it is allowed to transfer more than 75% of mutual settlements into national currencies, and also to ensure access to the currency trading floors of russia, none of this would have happened if it had not been forced to abandon the dollar, which the united states uses as an instrument of sanctions policy, when we were forced to say, well, nothing, we are satisfied with the russian ruble. in the first half of the day, the five leaders of the eu worked

here today behind closed doors in a narrow format, when the head of state retired there was an opportunity to communicate with members of the delegations on the current agenda a single leak in the media although when the negotiations were just beginning the americans. she leaked sensitive details to the press to highly appreciate the role of both the united arab emirates and saudi arabia, which traditionally try to make a significant contribution to such processes. they can help us with something else, for example, to help exchange one of ours for a floor of a vylana. listen, there, if necessary, the secret service will continue its work on another, acute topic - the price ceiling for russian oil introduced by countries. west russia promised to respond to the press announced three possible solutions to ban oil sales to countries that have introduced a ceiling ban on oil sales under contracts that include a price ceiling as terms of the deal and finally, the introduction of a maximum discount on the sale of russian grade urals oil, uh president. and

there, after its release, we will publish it. so how was this decision made? well, those three scenarios that are being considered, well, a decision will be made on or two of them now go ahead, there are proposals that will go to the administration president. naturally, a few words about ukraine on the eve of angela merkel said that the minsk agreements were an attempt to give ukraine time to arm itself. after all the previous efforts of the chancellor to preserve the agreements. her words in december 2022 may seem like an attempt to justify her failure to implement the agreements. you believe in sincerity. e with the statement of the fresh merkel i believe in the sincerity and wisdom of the president of the russian federation vladimir putin, who from the very beginning said that ukraine was pulling time that ukraine does not want to fulfill the minsk obligations, and he called on all relevant countries to confirm their signatures with actions. but everyone was

pissed off, including this, and the network has consequences now. and here is how the president of belarus answered the same question about the sincerity of angela merkel. this is disgusting. this is not appropriate. she never thought so, when the negotiations were going on in minsk, the whole world was in this rut, then the minsk agreements were celebrated stein mare developed, uh, the president. uh, germany developed this direction, remember, four there are some points and so on. it was serious, she wants to be. she wants to show that, uh, the husband of the ukrainian army was founded by merkel hollande and poroshenko is a lie. eh, it never happened. it's disgusting. but even if it’s so disgusting, here’s how, in this case , it’s impossible to negotiate with western partners, including ukraine. they are cheating again. we will return to the summit , 15 documents were signed, including

the start of negotiations with the united arab emirates to conclude a free trade agreement with the eu, the chairmanship of the union passed to russia in 2023 the kremlin plans to strengthen technological sovereignties increase the volume of mutual investments within the eu the summit is planned to be held in moscow in may konstantin panyushkin yuri shomov nikolai sysoev andrey morozov alexei simonov russian viktor bout after almost 15 years of imprisonment in the united states, he already met in moscow with his wife’s relatives and his mother was waiting for the arrival of the plane at the airport hugs tears of joy and words of gratitude to everyone who supported, sought release and negotiated an exchange, a basketball player flew from russia to the states. britney, arguing for smuggling in drugs, the exchange took place the day before in abu , from where a special flight had already headed for moscow, they landed only for refueling in makhachkala mamulechka, hello of course, now just refuel, everyone was
