yards of the orange danger level today due to heavy and wet snow announced in belarus at night in many areas during the day mainly southeast. precipitation is expected, sleet, ice in some areas, fog, a weak blizzard. the strategic development of belarus and russia will be discussed in minsk on monday by alexander lukashenko and vladimir putin. the day before, at a meeting in the palace of independence, they worked out aspects of integration that require intervention at the highest level. import substitution and response steps to the sanctions pressing first the plan also includes issues of pricing for energy resources. after all, they lay the foundation for the competitiveness of the economy. this speaks of the merger, which is attributed as a political decision, then one and the other side the president will emphasize russia recognizes

sovereignty in belarus, all allied relations are built from this perspective. i see the situation is now escalating, especially after these large-scale negotiations. everyone will say that everything is already here. there is no power in belarus. here, the russians are already walking and running the country. again i want to emphasize this feature. no one except us , belarusians, controls the country. this is our function according to the constitution, and mine is one of them. we implement these functions by many. we are beginning to whisper here when something cannot be agreed, that russia sets unacceptable conditions for us related to our independence of sovereignty, i absolutely frankly say to states on monday members of the government of the head of ministries and departments will join further in a one-on-one format president and will continue

negotiations , and then they will make a statement and answer questions from journalists. the bilateral meeting of the presidents of belarus and russia is traditionally accompanied by insinuations about the surrender of sovereignty conspiracy theories have already become commonplace for self-proclaimed politicians, however, none of the hundreds of predictions of hot analysts has come true . who have actually already surrendered our sovereignty in the west. they became under the patronage of foreign special services and their goal is to destabilize the socio-political situation in country, so they always make dumps of this nature, especially when the leaders of belarus and russia hold joint meetings. we have strategic cooperation our meetings. e at the level of governments at the level of foreign policy

departments, but naturally at the level of heads of state. they are absolutely logical and necessary. the economic foundation of the union state is the basis of bilateral relations in the current situation, this issue is under constant control in minsk moscow, the search for compromises and new points of contact has strategic importance. today, despite the strong sanctions pressure from belarus, the leningrad region is developing new areas of cooperation. the emphasis is on import substitution , and our country for the northern region of russia is simply a find in these difficult times for the economy of both sides and times to share experience and talk about its potential, where belarusians can lend a shoulder to the leningrad region, a delegation from the minsk region moved, and the direction where the belarusian russian symbiosis can give a wonderful economic result reports by dariya belousova and petrovsky the leningrad region for belarus has always been the top region in terms of

trade volume and has consistently been in fifth- seventh place, but over the past two years the figures have changed significantly, if in the twentieth year the trade turnover was 500 million dollars, now the figure is approaching a billion oddly enough , it was the sanctions that contributed to this growth, so as not to be dependent on foreign partners. belarus has been investing in the development of its own production facilities for more than 10 years today, when many western european companies left the russian market, it was the belarusians. they can occupy their niches, for example, the leningrad region is very interested in the belarusian experience in agriculture, in particular in breeding and veterinary medicine. if before that we had not actually worked with light drugs in belarus, then this page, which was literally last year. he discovered for himself and concluded four contracts there directly with all belarusian institutions regarding the production of medicines. we looked separately on the history of technology, therefore, today in belarus we have taken a step forward significantly regarding the

equipment for cultivating land, and our gravel began to actively use this technique, which has proven itself from the best side. one of the important topics is the processing industry, given that our country is one of the leaders in the dairy market, the belarusian delegation visited the largest dairy enterprise in the leningrad region, which produces more than 100,000 tons of milk a year, and there are about 150 items in the assortment from cream to yoghurts and glazed curds, nevertheless, today, in the face of sanctions pressure from dairy producers and belarus, russia is concerned about one common problem. packing two sectors. this is food or medicine, and not seemingly formally not subject to sanctions. but nevertheless, in terms of software, in terms of supplying equipment, some components of raw materials, and the pressure is felt and there was an instruction from our president. this story concerns the republic of

belarus, how quickly we were able to replace those who left the markets of our countries and paths was discussed everything is very detailed down to some chemical components, and it turned out that yes, within 2-3 months we are quite capable of replacing imports. even such complex technological solutions. today, the leningrad region has a shortage of road equipment. it is simply necessary in winter, when there are snowdrifts and ice on the roads, therefore, right at the negotiations, the russian side asked for more than twenty utility tractors and akador snow plows. in addition, there is great interest in our grain drying complexes. we see what's on in fact, there is a huge layer of questions that we could complement each other, how are we for russian enterprises, they are not for us , given that many companies are leaving our markets. and this may not be bad, so we have unlimited windows of opportunity in

the field of import substitution. we must move in this direction of inter-regional cooperation. perhaps this is the direction of work, which gives. probably, the maximum effect was also signed between belarus and the leningrad region on cooperation in the formation of tourism, culture and the preservation of the historical memory of the great patriotic war minsk leningrad suffered the most in that war, starting from the eighties, search teams in the leningrad region every year find up to 10,000 remains, therefore, together we simply need to preserve the truth about our history daria belouso petrovskoy alexander amateur forces agency, leningrad oblast, russia human. they took part in a protest march. demanding to stop the rise in electricity prices and increase salaries, the action led to serious.
