you gave the order. our patriarch of moscow has settled everything and now we will prepare draft decree, but additional guarantees that will affect our priesthood, and they will be able to receive payments in case of injury. god forbid more. well, the patriarchs were told quite recently. we did not meet discussed all these issues and the holy waterfall. i just put it, of course, absolutely. yes, what distinguishes the priest who is nearby, and all the other military personnel in this sense are practically nothing, of course, of course, there is another hero next to the father. lieutenant colonel roman cheryomukhin held his unit for several days an important foothold in the donbass, these are all the details that the laconic officer

told in an interview after receiving the award. and now i'm noticeably worried, he talks about the initiative. the president to create a special fund to support veterans of his own, this is a very important decision. it is for all of us. it is the sacred duty of the state to take care of those who protect the country, these are natural decisions. i have already said that we will later write this fund, which we have just mentioned, in a pure state structure and subordination. it should be such a powerful good structure. for the most important thing. i said this, probably , they paid attention to this, that for each person for each family he should be assigned, and this is a separate social work that will work with people individually in any case. yes. i really count on this and hmm , we will definitely ensure that this mechanism functions as it should, in order to

help people help. all veterans need this, without exception. lieutenant colonel cheryomukhin asks no, not for himself, but for those who fought like a hero, but formally the russian army has nothing to do with the militias. the people's republics dismissed in safety even before reunification with russia would like these guys. were awarded the status of veteran disabled combat operations. the russian federation and they were fully deserved assistance from the state, of course, these are people who, almost alone, fought for their people for the interest of their homeland in their land. fought for their land. now they have all become citizens of russia and of course, uh, we must definitely do it turn on the list here. e people who need to be given and will be given

this is controlled by people. actually, those who are not in the first generation are called defenders. i'm watching the guys behind us are quite young. here i am yesterday and the day before yesterday, when i spoke, the last words were that the truth is on our side, just looking at the guys i want to add the future, but the future does not happen without support. uh, the support of people who represent our army, that is, the ussr patriarch kirill laid a wreath today at the tomb of the unknown soldier near the walls of the moscow kremlin, almost in memory of the fallen

, he addressed everyone who is faithful to the motherland and who is ready to defend her profession? today it sounds very special to us the name of the holiday is defender of the fatherland day. today, indeed, our armed forces are defending the motherland, defending the fatherland, and we know that there are large forces on the side that challenged our motherland, and this requires today from the side of the armed forces of russia, from the side of the strength of the people , a clear consciousness that only together we can ensure true freedom , the independence of our fatherland together , how important this word is for those who are at the forefront of our soldiers officers - meter by meter are moving forward, that with fierce battles, such as in the flint area, the militants are trying to counterattack.

how does reporting from the front line end for them? oleg shishkin aerial reconnaissance discovered the enemy's fortified area and the armored group of the kostroma guards airborne regiment is moving to the front line. these forests in the vicinity of flint, the paratroopers know how they fight with their five fingers. been here for a week now. we received the task of advancing to the line, and for the indicated goals. to work out, uh, the fortified area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe opponents , the situation is stably tense. well, those however, the tasks assigned are completed in a timely manner. uh, we're slowly advancing bmd like a predator on the hunt carefully sneaking along the forest road. the crew stealthily approaches enemy positions. the driver with the call sign armor takes a position in a given square and a 30 mm cannon unleashes a hail of high-explosive fragmentation shells on the nationalists. a full ammunition load of 300 shells leaves in a minute with a small pnd quickly

changes position, hides from return fire and its task. armor always performs perfectly shelling shoot back back live healthy. the main thing is not to worry, so that the armor does not fail, so that the machine works stably with the state of each other. from half a word. at the front. at first , special operations used to work with direct fire, when the enemy was a couple of hundred meters away, and now they are hitting a canopy of shells flying in an arc. and here it all depends on the gunner with the call sign. the book likes to read in his free time. by the way, he is the only one in the crew five times participated in pairs on red square. the main work is clearly not exactly on the trees, namely we press the free space so that they are afraid to know that nothing shines for them here, no one will ever win. victory will be ours. in any case, i returned with the task of taking a break now, guys. there is no ammunition, after which the machine will be refueled and already in 15 minutes. this

combat vehicle will be ready to perform a new task on frames from a reconnaissance copter. the fortifications of the nationalists are clearly visible a forest of fish with trenches and trenches everywhere camouflaged dugouts recently paratroopers drove the enemy out of such a stronghold attack corrected from the air. here the fighters take up firing positions, support for the assault group gives the tank a shot a signal to attack, the paratroopers rush at the enemy. in the following shots, the nationalists, who had become empty, ran so fast that they dropped their weapons and the machine gun was lying on the ground. another one remained standing from the tree. on our paratroopers, the enemy tried to drop a mine on a parachute using a copter, but the wind carried it to the side and the explosion occurred in the distance, and the orange dome was lifelessly falling on the trees. but just the other day, paratroopers shot down such an enemy drone from handicraft light plywood. here the control unit can be seen that they were soldered almost directly as they say on ko and what is noteworthy from the battery is a bandera energy sticker and here it is a portrait

of the leader of an organization of ukrainian and nationalists banned in russia, the enemy snaps and tries to counterattack, but all attempts to probe our defenses under criminos fail. now we are advancing to the position of the mortar platoon. they are hidden in the deep forest you can't drive here by car. only on foot, but in open areas of the terrain. better run. here the territory is shot through with mortar fire, the paratroopers cut off the reserves, which the opponents pull up and hit exactly on the accumulations of manpower. a platoon with the call sign of civilian life designers worked at a service station, more responsibility was added, that is, i am already responsible for the guys for the work of the platoon as a whole, i answer for leases of 120 caliber hits the enemy and shoot a self-propelled gun at a distance of about 4 km, now we have advanced the fronts. as i understand

it further, we have been shooting for more than 6 km, if self-propelled guns are not the limit with rockets, they can hit a fortified man. at a distance of up to 12 km, the paratroopers go forward and the enemy gradually rolls back here further back, and only shishkin vladimir grigorievich vyacheslav makhin channel one. today, donetsk was subjected to massive shelling, ukrainian formations fired dozens of shells from rocket launchers and nato, howitzers in the petrovsky district around the city, two squads of firefighters and rescuers were under fire, 10 employees of the ministry of emergency situations were injured. and when the medics, the militants, came to them, cynically , after waiting for a pause, hit there again, as a result , the ambulance brigade, three doctors and the driver died , the local authorities also report the death of a woman in the budyonnovsky district of donetsk , another civilian was wounded. and here is a report from the ministry of defense, which often remains the hottest in the region of the capital of the dpr. in the donetsk

to representatives of all generations of the flying dynasty. we are gods in the sky, and on earth we are ordinary people are ordinary, like everyone else. here, they are the heroes of our time, faces that it is not yet possible to show how to name and names in full for security purposes. eugene , the helicopter commander, a pilot working in the special operation zone, was awarded the order of courage, his life is a daily risk, but the choice is not in favor of a peaceful profession. he did it himself and was inspired by his once father , a military pilot, there are risks everywhere, you know, you can be a builder. god forbid a brick falls on your head, and that's it. dad never said that you would be a pilot. he just was. vostok flew mi-24. and now, in retirement, sorting through photos at home, waiting for his son’s call, every time he wishes what everyone who usually wishes in the sky , how many take-offs, so many landings, and now they have countless military pilots, the work schedule 24 to 7 was preparing for the next flight eugene tells about his helicopter, a strike on

a reconnaissance ka-52, is actually called an oligator for its powerful combat characteristics, but the commander of dvin called the car a swallow. and, by the way, she assures that somewhere under the armored iron lurks, her the soul for me is she understands everything feels. what mood are you in? with such an analyte, i grew up in a military town and i always saw the helicopters of this young commander above me. crew another choice in the family three generations of military great-grandfather hero of the soviet union both grandfather and father are military aviators well, he could not become anyone else when you lift the car into the air. it all seems that everything is in your hands, a completely different view from above. down rather than up. in childhood, at a young age. my father took me, somehow, probably, the airfield see what helicopters are. what is aviation life its only 24 years old.

who already has more than two hundred experienced pilots, and now it's time for us to do the next one. military pilots have such a sign before the flight interview. do not let our heroes, of course, were very worried, but they completed the combat mission and returned safely. no need to be afraid, we need to do it, we will be afraid later at home at the table, when we remember as a family, they are afraid that this is how it was, and what happened was, as they say, at the major's house grows up son, perhaps he will follow in the footsteps of his father, at least eugene would like the dynasty so much, after all, however, all this is in the future. and now only work vacation, until it is foreseen, wives. parents. children, of course, are bored and waiting. as the verses say, wait for

me and i will return. just wait a lot. wait for us, our good ones. we love and appreciate you very much yulia gave sergeevich bogatyrev yulia foreign irina a little aleksey shiyan valery kuznetsov and viktor gribnikov. first channel. has just become known from a telephone conversation between vladimir putin and nikol pashinyan, and the situation for the armenians on the azerbaijani border, its implementation of the agreements on nagorno-karabakh, the prime minister of armenia called the russian leader and, in order to inform about the meeting with the president of azerbaijan or hamam aliyev in munich , on february 18, the kremlin reported that the crimean bridge is completely open to traffic, all repair work after the october terrorist attack was completed, and it was possible to do it in record time. almost a month and a half earlier than planned, difficult weather conditions did not interfere. even part of it has been updated. alekseev ivanov saw

the holiday mood today on the crimean bridge, everyone who drove along the restored overpass or is just about to cross the kerch strait, they say, thanks to the whole team of builders , drivers and passengers appreciated the new spans perfectly. very good road. so i advise everyone to drive over the bridge again and not once waited. here is a holiday. i want to go uncles to congratulate him and go to sevastopol road. true, perfect so we go without problems. the children are happy quickly, and we are already in the crimea . well done, in general, all all . this group of cars is driving from the crimea to the russian mainland . the restored section differs from the only 19 km of crossing with fresh asphalt. here, it is a little darker builders, designers , assemblers, workers did what seemed impossible. they restored the damaged

automobile parts of the crimean bridge in a record 4.5 months. and they did everything well ahead of schedule. usually according to experts, such work takes at least a year. deputy prime minister marat usnulin, who heads the government commission for the restoration of the bridge, thanked all the participants for the successful work done in a very significant way. what exactly on the day of defense of the fatherland. after the terrorist attack, we are opening objects so important for the crimea and for the country , and i want to note that the builders have shown themselves as real defenders of the fatherland in the most difficult conditions, they have worked and continue to work on the restoration of the bridge, no doubt this is the most important task and role in protection. in the interests of our country, in early december , vladimir putin drove along the restored right side of the bridge, the president himself drove the car. work at the first stage took less than two months from here

, everything has already been replaced. here are the two molecules. from here, from here directly and the crimean bridge, the ukrainian special services tried to destroy it on october 8 last year. to do this , they staged a terrorist attack, they blew up a heavy truck with explosives on the overpass, but the plan of kievsky of the regime for the complete destruction of the bridge did not work such restoration work such bridge crossings in the world have not yet been carried out by technology that used the most unique here. well, the conditions in which the work was carried out were extreme 55 days of stormy weather. even now i have to wear it. these are such windproof suits, but nevertheless, all the specialists coped with the multi-ton spans assembled on a special site next to the bridge, and then , in turn, using a unique platform , the installation was delivered to the site, was carried out according to unique cross sliding technology. this made it possible to significantly reduce the time and

ensure technical readiness for the start of the working movement ahead of schedule, and if the main work on the automobile part of the bridge is completed, then the workers on the railway continue to dismantle parts of the spans right now. here it is clear that the specialists are at the height. there are about 300 of them here. works in two shifts. and these works do not interfere with the railway communication . the trains are on schedule. one the damaged span to taman all the necessary metal structures for the 525 t railway section have already been delivered ; the work should be completed in july this year, but judging by the pace, the early start of traffic on all tracks is not ruled out . asserting its terrorist nature, the kiev regime is planning an armed provocation against pridnestrovie in the coming days, according to

our ministry of defense, it is going to attract, among other things, militants banned in russia formations, azov according to available information, in the near future the kiev regime is preparing an armed provocation against the pridnestrovian moldavian republic, which will be carried out by units of the armed forces of ukraine, including with the involvement of a nationalist formation. azov , as a pretext for the invasion , a staging is planned, allegedly of an offensive by russian troops from the territory of transnistria; for this , ukrainian saboteurs participating in the staged invasion will be disguised as military personnel of the armed forces of the russian federation russia is making efforts to maintain stability in the region, where the situation has deteriorated significantly in the past year, the authorities of moldova, headed by president maia sandona, by the way, received full-time praise from joe biden in warsaw this week for their desire to join the european union, curtail any cooperation with transnistria and do not excludes the rejection of the agreements

reached earlier through euro-integration , let me remind you. the west warmed up the kiev maidan , which resulted in a coup from the moment of which just the day before it turned exactly nine years. the european union a little more than an hour ago could not, this is the second day in a row to agree on the tenth package of sanctions against russia , a number of countries against banning the import of our synthetic pile of consultations will continue tomorrow, but understandably. there are no illusions here. tomorrow, the united states will publish its package, the united states, and not twist the eu as they want, said that evening in the un security council, our permanent representative vasily nebenzya in the security council for a year after the complete severance of ties with our country , the gdp growth of the united europe was stuck near zero marks. at the same time, record inflation rates are measured in double-digit figures.

i am glad that the european union jumped off the russian gas needle and got hooked on hard drugs expensive american liquefied natural gas . but the prosperity of economic power was based primarily on russian cheap energy sources. to the point that without brussels silently swallowed, undermining their nearest an ally of the main wire paid for by european investors, and is now trying to replace all the inconvenient facts. under the carpet would not cause displeasure in washington and among european mores today, non-parliamentary expressions in the parliamentary assembly of the organization for security and cooperation in europe , the representative of latvia, are clearly set up right-ukrainian in obscene form. insulted our delegation, the reaction immediately followed all-russian, but we will not tolerate direct insults

against russia against our president and we will never give russia's enemies an opportunity to speak out. it is in this style in this assembly that all those who want to insult russia can leave this hall with their ukrainian flags. thanks to belarus and indeed the representatives of the countries. west began to leave the meeting room, and later the ukrainian delegation. i tried to expand my contribution to disrupt the speech of parliamentarians from belarus, but i got more from the atmosphere to the russians who arrived at the osce assembly were not allowed to lay flowers at the monument to soviet soldiers, the liberator everything is happening in vienna where they referred to visa restrictions . justice has a radius of 30 at least issued visas. let a small number be an excellent example, from poland at the end of last year refused to the osce event, first

to russian deputies and a senator, and then to foreign minister sergey lavrov sociologists today publish these polls, how the country's residents perceived the president's address to the federal assembly, positively 81% interlocutors of the all-russian public opinion research center 11 spoke in the opposite way and in total 8% did not state a clear position further, almost three-quarters of the respondent considers all the topics raised by the heads of state to be significant , about 80% noted that vladimir putin spoke sincerely, and 88% that the speech was clear and understandable. the message took place on tuesday and lasted about 2 hours. the main topics were military special operations support for military personnel and families with children integration of new regions of the social program to improve the quality of life in russia international special forces competitions in dubai

57 teams from twenty-eight countries russia represents three teams. today. they took the entire distance in the first place , the special forces center of the russian guard vityaz akhmat of the ministry of internal affairs of the chechen republic in the second sobr of the russian guard in the third. in the overall standings , akhmata, competition, and a tough task at the limit of possibilities are also in the lead. today, a lot of fire missions for snipers and for assault groups , our defenders proved their holiday, as they planned. they are the best sacred for us for our service to the russian people february 23 i hope that we pleased with our result all those who were rooting for us, who are waiting for us at home guys, thank you so much. in such heat, with such a load, i think a good result is that we worked with dignity today and all three russian teams entered the five-table of honor. it's real, fighting special forces the rest of

the athletes. im finishing our limousine today on such a chased special driver . well, it’s understandable when the first persons of the state are being taken with the veterok, but for what an exciting spirit. let's figure it out together. i will try from the salon in our studio and is it possible. will it help you? a heavy three-ton car instantly picks up speed and almost silently glides through the snow at the wheel of the drivers of the federal security service. they can say departmental competition is not a lip, nor the names of the winners, we will not know. today, a special purpose garage represents russian-made cars in races exclusively aurus, and the senate aurus models that today go to the track are the most ordinary working cars that take passengers to competitions every day them specifically. they prepared all the cars the same. but the drivers are different and here

today the best ones should not drive faster. all their task is to bring passengers to the right time. in spite of any circumstances, speed and safety , it seems that these two words are far from each other, but not the fso, even here in the heat of the competition, drivers keep themselves in hand. whatever the speed was on a straight line in a turn the car enters like on rails for the whole day, not one aurus has not deployed. this is despite the fact that the rubber on them is not studded here there are a lot of electronic assistants that facilitate the driver's action. well, nevertheless. yes, any electronic assistant is nothing without a driver. that actually the car seems to be quite large, but it is very easy to drive. this deceptive impression is enough to ride behind the wheel once to understand that the car behaves very well drivers need to go around the circle at maximum speed, but at the same time they do not have the opportunity to choose the optimal trajectory of the corridor along which they move is limited by cones in conventional races. at drivers more room to maneuver. it is interesting to see how government cars of past years pass this route. here

they are the whole history of the special purpose garage. here, next to the open-air exhibition , most of the people are near the executive car of the zil brand, as we close the door together. so hands, do not nail into hands. they understood this, how heavy this car weighs. seven tons, a veteran of a special purpose garage, vladislav belov, knows this car to the screw. he remembers trying to turn the zil over on flat roads, it was possible to accelerate to maximum speed and turn any turns. but everything is useless such a car, no, it was not possible, the maximum that could be done and this is to disassemble the wheel. we broke twice. yes, it 's really a fairy tale that it could be overturned by mountains, they say that it is also impossible to overturn an aura from any model in similar conditions. well, today's track for these cars is an easy walk, tomorrow the drivers of the special purpose garage will go to work for them alexander lyalkin pavel and victoroven.
