despite the sanctions of pressure from the west, it was able to increase sales abroad. and thus become an export winner. thus, the foreign trade turnover of goods and services of belarus in january-april this year increased to 114% and amounted to more than 30 billion dollars compared to the same period last year. export of agricultural products to russia in 4 months china reached 115% compared to last year. the outside world. of the $76 billion of last year's gross domestic product, $40 billion is especially important. this export is noteworthy, belarus continues to show the highest rates of intra-union trade among the cis countries in 2022, the commonwealth state accounted for 65% of our foreign trade to compare the share of mutual trade.

in the total volume of foreign trade of the commonwealth countries, it is only about 15%, in trade in services with the countries of the cis, we increased the volume by 20%, both in export and import, as a result, the cis countries occupy 48% of our foreign trade in services, good indicators, in foreign trade we provided the influx of foreign currency into the country, as a result of the stable exchange rate of the belarusian ruble and the normalization of inflationary processes in may , statistics even recorded a deflation of food products. prices fell by almost 1% compared to april of this year. such results in the economy of our country have become. it is possible due to the fact that belarus has a short time frame for anti-crisis management of the economy, according to the statement of prime minister roman golovchenko. at the eurasian congress , a quarter of the belarusian, economy, in fact, we have lost ours.

markets of neighboring countries, western scientific forecasters wrote us at least a twenty percent drop in gdp, we have adapted to the new reality in 6 months since august last year, the economy is recovering, anti-crisis management has allowed us to restore the logistics , the settlement system, the smooth operation of enterprises, to establish import substitution and strict control of pricing in a short time, belarus could ensure the protection of its economy and the well-being of its people. the westerners, the sanctioners, just expected to undermine the economic confidence of the belarusians, which could provoke protests and conflicts within society, thanks to the efforts of our president and government. we now live stably and in peace. what can not be said about the initiators of sanctions in the countries of the collective west europe is technically already in a recession, so according

to eurostat in the first quarter of this year in the euro area for the first time recorded a drop in gdp in annual terms, well-known american investor jim rogers predicts a recession us for 4.5 years due to the state's record debt to high inflation and expensive loans. as we see belarus on the right side of the world economy, it was a simple economy. and now the states do not want to put up with the new reality. they continue to use their currency as an instrument of armed struggle. this, of course, undermines their position in the global financial sector, as a result of the reduction in the dollar reserves of countries and the decrease in settlements in the american currency. the beginning of the end of the dollar is a very strong argument to establish a multipolar world, the 26th

international economic forum in st. petersburg sum up the results of their work and the northern capital of russia our correspondent maria petrashka. today is the third day of the st. petersburg international economic forum and, in fact, the main culminating one, because it is the most numerous, but because it was today that the forum program included a plenary session with vladimir putin , which, in fact, brought together numerous guests. and the topic was touched upon very different, but here is the main uh, lines, of course, not only plenary session. well, almost any section of the forum was a multipolar world. and by the way, belarus russia has taken a huge step towards multipolarity, taking only our banking integration. after all, it was in minsk that moscow was the first to abandon the us dollar and the euro in mutual settlements. well, uh, the system of financial messages of the bank of russia, uh, has essentially become an alternative to swift, again , sanctions threats, the settlements in national currencies that

are now happening with our friendly partners, primarily with belarus, are not so terrible. a step towards moving away from settlements, and in dollars and and in euros, of course, we are still far from the fact that global trade has switched to national currencies, but i think that the first steps have already been taken, and we expect that our efforts will be directed in this direction. further, it must be said that one of the most effective, e, measures to counter illegitimate sanctions pressure, of course, considers industrial cooperation. and here it is worth noting the scale is impressive, but the main thing is our ability to quickly find the most relevant areas for cooperation. today we have done what russia and belarus are coming closer and closer to, namely industrial cooperation. that is, there were interesting developments of the idea that the belarusian country offered us, but we helped them reach the series with the experience of our engineers. and what’s more, we have achieved the energy

that is in the school, this building, the program of the belarusian delegation on the sidelines of the forum is more than rich, in addition to participating in the all union state and the eaeu, we have all seen numerous meetings with the governors russian regions, personal meetings, personal contacts - this is a completely different level of relations and literally with every region. we have a new direction of cooperation emerging and, uh, a unique agenda in a certain sense, which we are not in the mode of a video conference, not in the mode of some kind of phone calls. couldn't dream. uh, let's take for example the kamchatka region, with which we have a small turnover of goods. uh, well, there is one big profile topic of the president's order to organize direct supplies of cheap fish without intermediaries. belarus here. well, at the same time, the theme of building a factory is born. uh, vitamin supplements, fish oil,

omega-3 fish processing algae, deep freeze hub, uh, sevmor way. container transportation of goods e belarusian e, with logistics twice as short as the existing loading e, empty containers, and loading oncoming e, cargo and flows and the palette begins to bloom in a completely different color. from two dozen meetings of the belarusian delegation with the governors of the russian federation, the signing of agreements, of course, uh, the discussion of new prospects for cooperation and the search for new integration horizons. we saw all this with our own eyes on the sidelines of the st. petersburg economic forum. we also see how the epic with the supply of ukrainian f-16 aircraft acquires new old sounding agency.

bloomberg reports that we are talking about the transfer of used fighter jets, while their maintenance will require hundreds of millions of dollars, which is completely beyond the power of the kiev regime, as it turned out, this is the american strategy for european supplies to tie kiev tighter to nato strange suppliers and will be obliged to commit to funding the care of this five-minute scrap metal. ukraine will completely lose its independence in making military decisions, and nato will already have total control over its militants in ukraine a. in general, the apu has long been one of the army. nato is fighting with western weapons , they are controlled by consultants from the united kingdom and the united states, as the head of the american chief of staff said today. the west has already been trained. 60,000 fighters, the apu is now training another 6,000. true, for ukraine itself, this is bad news,

since all of them will again simply be thrown into a meat grinder the washington post published an article that on the fronts of the ukrainian offensive it pays the highest price from kiev, demands success for the future summit , thousands of lives are burned in the conflict window, but there are no victories of the kiev regime, and nato is not and is not expected at least some kind of information . now washington is very much needed. they want to distract the biden family from the corruption scandal. moreover, even the journalists of the presidential pool, in violation of all accepted rules, actively demand from joe explanations at first, he remained silent and smiled nervously. now it's rude. why was president biden called you a big man in the fbi informants' dossier on ukraine? why is this term constantly used?

why are you asking such a stupid question recently, an employee of a burisma company who has long been collaborating with the us intelligence agencies handed over to the authorities records of 17 conversations with biden, as reported by then vice president joe, his son hunter directly demanded a bribe of $ 5 million in a dossier that became public the press specifies that the biden family could receive about 30 million in the form of offerings from various foreign companies. this fact was also confirmed by the chairman of the us house of representatives oversight committee . but the persecution of trump on political grounds in the american internal political war has turned around. there is another dimension that the hungarian prime ministers pointed out to him. viktor orban. according to him the only one who could achieve

peace in ukraine in one day is trump, if he is true, after all, he will be imprisoned or not elected by presidents, then the ukrainian conflict will continue indefinitely, according to viktor orban. well, belarus is the only country in the post-soviet space that has escaped the war, split along national lines , religious lines, political cataclysms, and this is one of the main achievements of our president alexander lukashenko, such an opinion was voiced in the editors' club program on belarus 1, moreover, the events in ukraine clearly show everything was done, otherwise the experts correctly commented and destroy the counter-offensive of ukraine . this is an option job. the work of the western press is a pie

agency, such a sociable performance. well, what zelensky is good at doing will not lead to anything good, but such global provocations outweighing terrorist attacks, in fact, with new labels and all dogs on the russian federation god forbid on our country. they do this in order to let the dust out of their eyes, and i somehow explain the state to their western citizens, but why is this happening while there is order? so why the us state department is so concerned about the sovereignty and independence of our country, and why nuclear weapons are right and sobering for a step about this, do not only look at the editors club today after the panorama. they go to the city. well, how do we understand modern challenges and threats dictate new approaches in defense prospects for the development and

use of unmanned aircraft. today , the belarusian military and our developers discussed the scientific and practical seminar held on the basis of the 927 training center , the conference was organized in the form of a dialogue platform. this format of the event is very important now, and the experience of using unmanned aircraft in recent conflicts series olivia nagorno-karabakh and now a specially military operation show how important and necessary it is, and we, in order to keep up with global trends, to maintain a high level of readiness. uh, we are in close contact with the enterprises of the defense sector of the economy. we invite all major enterprises that produce drones. we get together to discuss problems. we describe how we use them. they show their achievements. during the conference , they demonstrated promising models of drones produced

by belarusian companies, including the national academy of sciences and 558 aircraft repair plant. by the way, one of the largest enterprises in the cis for the repair and modernization of modern combat aviation equipment. well, that's all, this is necessary to ensure our security system, which, according to the first deputy secretary of state of the security council. pavel the ant. ready to resist any risks and threats from the west is the question of a new concept of national security. today , at the faculty of international relations of the psu , the basis of the document was an analysis of facts and a forecast. how the military-political situation will develop in the eastern european continent in europe today is a process large-scale militarization, numerous exercises of the nato offensive bloc are taking place today, these are maneuvers by the defenders of europe that cover the territory of 13 countries involved, while there were 40,000

military personnel today ensuring military security remains a priority of the state policy of the republic of belarus is being strengthened in the field of security. now its strategic partners are also within the framework of infectious associations. in particular , belarus is a member of the csto union states, as well as the cis, which allows it to resolve security issues with partner countries compared to 2022, the military spending of european countries increased by 13% and today stands at almost $480 billion. this is quite a lot according to the forecast of experts. in 2025. these expenses. they will grow by another one and a half times. uh, the military factions are conducting large-scale exercises. uh, their number over the past 3 years has tripled, and the number of participants has increased five times. based on the results

of such discussion platforms in the new concept of us security can be adjusted. after that, the document will be presented for approval by the entire assembly of the belarusian people, the totality of our views on many issues, including historical truth, which we have special attention to. in the leozna region, excavations are underway at the site of a previously unknown mass grave of victims of fascism squeezed out of the great patriotic war.
