the past decade many significant political, economic and cultural events on a global scale have taken place within its walls, visits of foreign leaders, many hours of negotiations, the palace has become a platform for achieving stability and peace in our region. there were many events with the participation of our talented youth, what is such a beautiful tradition as the new year's ball worth? and also look. anyone can visit the most prestigious building in the country by signing up for a tour, although the queue is already colossal. in 10 years, the palace has achieved its records, here are just a few of them. the longest negotiations lasted 16 hours. the normandy four agreed on a ceasefire in ukraine in 1915. at least two dozen state leaders entered into red carpet of the palace. last year alone

, the symbol of belarusian statehood and sovereignty was visited by almost 7,000 people. there is also a personal record for pool journalist veronica buta. 7 km or about 1000 steps during the filming of exclusive footage of the main broadcast. by the way, it is available on our youtube channel. well, it is very symbolic that on such a significant day it took place in the palace of independence. meeting of generations. pioneers, brsm activists, komsomo veterans and simply beauties, finalists, were invited to a frank conversation with the president miss belarus competition. when talking about the most massive children's movement , only the best memories come to mind. the only thing is that now the tie on the pioneers is no longer red, it’s red and green, the color of the state flag. a significant date lies ahead for the 105th anniversary of the komsomol. and this is associated with sincere. and

high ideals and the era of student brigade romance. belarus still carefully preserves the traditions that we inherited. conversation between representatives of different generations with the head of state. it turned out very positive, no restrictions in terms of questions and suggestions. the head of state spoke about the komsomol period of her life, answered the parents who were skeptics of this movement, and of course, a lot of interesting information was given about how the palace of our independence was built? report by ilona krasutskaya. first 10, beautiful anniversary. date at the most status building of the country, the palace of independence, many events over the years, many guests, and for everyone who has ever been here, this is also such a great opportunity to feel nostalgic, so this is a very eventful moment for today’s

invited history activists of the most famous youth organization in the country, its future participants, still pioneers and still veterans of the komsomol movement, they certainly have something to tell those who are still the same age as the palace, well, what about without komsomol and simply handsome? i’m a few months older than the palace, i thought it would be somehow smaller, but it’s so spacious, big, everything is in such pleasant colors, everything glows, my mother reminded me a lot about her childhood as a pioneer and it was she who pushed me that i need to become a pioneer too, this stroitredovskaya my jacket, it’s been decorated since... yakutia was decorated in 1985, since then, yes, history, here she went as a construction brigade commander, like students of the belarusian polytechnic institute, so all the stripes are still preserved on this jacket, listen, well there is

still some nostalgia for this time, of course, i remember with pleasure these times, how we flew to yakutia, earned money, students, transported belarusian potatoes there. it's a little fun now, but really it's it was a very interesting, good time, time goes by, new trends come with it, but in belarus traditions have been preserved, continuity of generations, our rich history is all reflected in the interior of the palace of independence, the main broadcast dedicated a large program to the anniversary of the symbol of our statehood, we showed everything behind the scenes, halls and offices that were previously hidden from cameras; by the way, the president also watched the episode. yesterday discussing your proposals for a visit to the independence palace. i told civil servants, our officials, that it would be nice to some, at least to some meetings and events, excursions, invite those who , together with the president, stood at the foundations of the creation

of this great monument, our people, architects, specialists, and there are a lot of them, that was a good program on channel one our television, where... from these halls that you visited , journalists talked about various kinds of events, and there you saw some specialists who were involved in the creation of this symbol of our people, if you met them we talked, these are very passionate people, really sick, they had this idea, so we built it two or three times faster, i think that if you decide to take turns at some point in time, the queue is very long, you are in a situation when there are no excursions, so that you can visit here and meet with specialists, this will also be very interesting, and the head of state also told how the large construction

of this majestic building began, it turns out that the hall that most impresses the president is this ceremony hall, yes, the same one where, for example, the inauguration ceremony and the signing of the referendum decision took place. there are some things i wouldn’t do like that, but i’m not an architect and so on, i relied on the experience and knowledge of our architects, but i warned them cruelly, god forbid, i say, if you do something wrong, then people will criticize, answer very harshly, they started sending me all these documents, separate rooms, well, everything is in color, so i had to get heavily involved in the construction, then when i said that we would do everything yourself, offers flew in, this is wrought iron, railings, all this, a lot of options, a lot of options, but there is only one requirement, ours from our material, these halls where we present awards, we accept word for word, the students offered to formalize, i say, okay, let

them formalize, but no, they won’t do it , i say, as they do, they will do it, the students of that time, university students, it would be interesting to find them and invite them too, so that they could tell how it all happened... of course, today we invited the best of the best, activists, to a meeting with the president, excellent students in studies, and first question from the guys, to match the event about the palace or near the palace, alexander grigorievich. you have already said that here we can say that a quarter of belarusian statehood has been formed , this is the square of the state flag, and the victory park, and the museum of the great patriotic war, so tell me how this quarter is planned to be developed in the future and what is planned here next, i don’t supporter of reloading into the territory, you see, minsk, despite the fact that it is in the center of europe, it is not cluttered with all sorts of buildings, more or less significant buildings

in... it is not built without the consent of the president, so the mayor of minsk develops some kind of concept as a specialist, they come to the table, this is how we will act, this is how the idea was proposed for this avenue and so on, this is a long process, we bet it was entrusted to the mayor minsk, the chairman of the city executive committee should make a proposal on how to make it all cozy, i don’t think that... we will build something here, i don’t see any additional construction here, they are talking about the all-belarusian people’s assembly, i built my next residence there, we we didn’t build anything, but this was the idea, the vns will have a staff as a whole, when it starts working in the vns, there will be less than thirty people, now there will be nine people, then maybe up to thirty, we need some kind of space, we in the future envisaged next to

supreme... but now we don’t need it, i think if the supreme national assembly starts working, then nine people can either be accommodated in the palace of independence, the presidential administration, we have enough space for that, that’s it, we won’t build anything else here, here entrusted the minsk city executive committee should prepare a project, arrangement, creation of comfort around the palace of independence, it will be brought here in models and other things, not only to the palace of independence, but also around the territory of the palace of independence, i say again, i love nature, i understand that the palace of independence is good, but you can’t do any harm around us, we constantly talk about the difference in generations, everyone is familiar with these seemingly broken records , you can’t understand about today’s youth, plus such a time is now all about gadgets, finding an approach is still a task, but our youth union... what do you think, these high technologies, how can they help a person on

earth, how to change his work, will they be able to replace a person in the future? i may be too conservative in this regard, no one can ever replace a person, but not only the it sector, artificial intelligence and so on are emerging, this may be the pinnacle of today’s spheres, numbers, etc., we can’t get by, we have the it sector this is highly developed in companies

producing this or that product; today we have unmanned belazs, in rural areas farm, take and processing, caring for crops, in crop production, in livestock farming, animal control, we have already created dairy complexes where only robots work instead of milkmaids, the penetration of this technological development... on the basis of the it sphere, it is already in all industries, but it is impossible to replace a person, especially in such close contact with nature; a machine , no matter what it is, no matter what neural network it is based on, it still cannot replicate human feelings and qualities, although this smart intellect, advanced and so on, neural networks, they change a lot ... difficult times await us in this regard, we will have to teach these young pioneers

to use these gadgets based on artificial intelligence, on these neural networks, because such fakes appear, a person is so copied, this thing greatly influences the world, on people’s relationships, here we need to be very careful, and you were a pioneer or... of your student brigade time, i worked in a student brigade on land reclamation, it’s like that, you know, not a common job, we worked in the klimovichi district, in my opinion, this is a lot of experience, so i know land reclamation very well , these periods of work in the real sector of the economy were very, very important for me , i was always drawn to nature,

no one sent me to agriculture , i asked myself, they didn’t drive me there on my own, i wanted to work there, i still love working on the land, these were the most interesting times in my life, now in belarus there are more than 600,000 children who participate in the pioneer movement, they care about the older generation in veterans, participates in projects and competitions, there are almost 4,000 activists in the ranks of the youth union, at one time they criticized the komsomol, a century later different reviews are addressed to the prototype organizations, how to react and not... and many parents are smart now, this is the period when in general, they wanted to turn us away from public organizations, so my son won’t be a pioneer at school, they are a minority, why are you making your child an outcast in this school, why are you doing this, let him decide for himself whether he wants to be a pioneer, well, i’m a fool, but you have to

understand that you are making things worse for your child, everyone comes with ties. and there are two or three of them sitting, but they are not imprisoned in the same way as their parents, here at this crossroads they fought against me, but what position are you putting your child in? what’s wrong with him being a pioneer, there’s nothing bad, you’re together, in this class, you’re there for hikes, sports , etc., and you ’re throwing your child to the sidelines of this life, all-union construction projects, virgin lands, bam, komsomol members were reviving then ... the country went to the front as volunteers in during the great patriotic war, and later participated in the construction of landmark industrial facilities in belarus, so how this and not only the industry will develop is a very pressing question. what do you think belarus can give to the world market now and in 5-10 years? we are in great demand, very much, sometimes agility is not enough, hence my

strict requirement of the bureaucracy . we must move now, we must seize markets, the main thing is now. time, time, time, time, while it works for us, but it will not always be so, what saved us was that after the collapse of the union we did not destroy those schools and those developments that were in soviet times, literally all enterprises were preserved and even increased, in the future, how we will all develop in the same direction as the whole world, mastering space technologies, microelectronics and other, it-sphere, this is the future, there is no escape from it, unforgettable and traditional. by the way, it will be possible to see all the achievements of domestic industry under one roof; separate buildings will be provided for such a national exhibition. very important now to finish the construction of vdnkh belarus, an exhibition complex, it is being built near the ring road, it will represent a stork bird flying. they are already putting up

a roof there, i see the arabs are at their own expense, i let them in here. build a smart city, but it’s a burden, guys, you build me a good exhibition center, this will be a smart city, with an end road nearby and this exhibition center, i call vdnkh, where we will place everything that we produce, so that you can come and saw that people came and we were proud of what we do, there are so-called primary production units at many enterprises in the country, pavel lastochkin, for example, heads it at the belg plant, the news that a new line of domestic cars will appear in belarus inspired many and they will roll off the assembly line where they were produced. the first people's car. what do you see as the future path for the development of the future automotive industry in our country? we are a country of motorists, we create cars that any country can envy, i had a dream that we

after all, we produced our own passenger car, we need to get our own parts for this. we have everything for this, some of our enterprises are underutilized, yes, it is not an easy task for us to produce our own engine for a passenger car and gearbox, you yourself know that this is not an easy thing, but we have decided, we have set ourselves a task, we have motor plant, let them produce it, let it move, we will build a plant, an additional stamping workshop, why carry this body parts by air from china, we have to stamp everything... our own car, we bought a license from them, that is, we will already produce a new car, it will be better. even than the one we produce, well, it just takes a little time, but we have a very solid program, we must provide our people

with our car, no matter what the imported car is, it’s imported, something happened, there’s a queue of spare parts and so on, and this is our own, but we will give priority to the electric car, the guys admitted today that they were impressed by the program dedicated to the palace independence, and today we saw all this with our own eyes during. communicate with journalists from the presidential pool, but questions still remain. you really communicate with journalists every day and are even formed. please tell me, is it easy to get into it and for you personally, do you have any favorite media representatives? representatives, do you mean journalists? and organizations, including, if i single out some organization, those about whom i did not mention will be offended, there are those whom i

respect for what in agriculture, what in there will be women in the industry , i won’t name our last names, she will put everything in order, it’s accessible, so that it goes well, so that people appreciate it, if you don’t mind, what do you really want? in general, i think that many representatives... it would be interesting to see from the inside, if you identify such a pool of journalists in the republic, the press secretary will bring you together, either in the palace of independence, or in the presidential administration, wherever you want, he will show you the work , pioneer and komsomol - this is a real school of life, the guys managed to gain invaluable experience, earn money in student groups, relax, find new friends, next to them today are those who were 20 50 years ago, komsomo activists, they are all like that...

everyone looked and clicked their teeth, but you have to be able to protect yourself, now of course, we are a little we have already been taught this and have something to defend our country with, but it was more difficult then. in memory of this meeting, activists presented the head of state with a very symbolic gift, a collection of badges and awards from the youth union and pioneer organization. and now the palace not only has an alley of honored guests, but also the apple tree alley of generations, today the guys laid it together with the president, you see

how culturally we did all this, well, this is of course a very joyful, courageous moment in my life, and i think that i will remember it for a very long time, well, because with the president, not everyone can do this in life, even my mother told me that she would be proud of me all my life, being in the palace of independence is a great pride for me, because i have always strived to get here, because this is the heritage of belarus, our builders, our artists have collected here the best minds created such a beautiful , one might say, miracle, so for me this is a very important event in my life, so with inspiration, fire in the eyes of these guys to create the history of a sovereign state. let it be small deeds at first , but at the same time big deeds, be it work in a construction team or helping disabled veterans,

the main thing is that maximalism is directed in the right direction. ilona krasutskaya, veronica buta, ivan martinovich and alexander oleshko, telelenova agency. another night in the gas sector started with massive ones. bombings, while the fiery power of missile and artillery strikes is only increasing. an israeli army spokesman reports that the army is fully prepared to begin a ground operation in the gaza strip. it's just a matter of orders from the political leadership. in the meantime, the israeli army is conducting increasingly intense shelling of the gaza strip. another 120 people died there that night. during the day, one of the large shopping centers was targeted by bombardment. blockade. gas

led to a humanitarian catastrophe, no food, water, fuel, without electricity , hospitals remain one after another, through the checkpoint on the border with egypt, only two dozen trucks with humanitarian aid proceeded to the gas sector, this, as you understand, is a drop in the ocean. the crossing is now closed again; to date, the number of palestinian casualties has reached 5,000, 2,000 of them children, as the israeli side believes, the presence of hostages in the hands of... hamas gives every reason to launch attacks of any intensity on the gaza strip. the states also support tel aviv in this. they have the right to respond to these terrorists, they will do it as they see fit and where they see fit. we are definitely going to support the israeli defense forces by giving them the ability to continue their persecution of hamas. and the us rejects calls for

a ceasefire, which will only benefit hamas. these are the democratizers in action. continuing the operation will cost the lives of thousands more palestinian civilians. the french president also came to tel aviv to encourage israel to commit new murders. the results of his political tourism are traditionally zero, but de facto macron is promoting himself on the killings of people. but did you notice that the ukrainian topic, which was so actively discussed by all western media, suddenly disappeared. ukrainian flags hung in europe are replaced by israeli ones. and here the question arises: will the anglo-saxons continue to sponsor the kiev regime, but in order to jump into the same car with israel, zelsky is ready to do anything, even the dirtiest provocations. this opinion was expressed on the air of the trends program by russian politician and journalist vladimir kornilov. really, after october 7, after the

hamas attack. on the israeli kibbutzim, yes, indeed, for several days, or even weeks , ukraine completely disappeared from the information agenda of the western media, i then looked at how many newspapers there, say, british, which specialized in information provocations against russia in the ukrainian direction , suddenly they forgot the word ukraine, that is, there, say, the tymes newspaper, the flagship, in general, of these information provocations, i remember, they every day, without fail, the word ukraine or ukrainian added to various articles, publications, interviews, anywhere, but here, day after day , seven pages are devoted to the middle eastern conflict, not a single mention of ukraine. you know, unfortunately, a lot of experience shows that kiev always, when it falls out of the western information agenda, organizes really large-scale provocations, this

was the case even at the beginning of the ato under turchynov, this happened often under poroshenko, and it certainly happens all the time under zelensky, and the fact that zelsky is terribly afraid of disappearing from the information field of the west, he himself is in generally recognized and emphasized, so yes, i am very afraid that ukraine will resort to very large-scale provocations, in fact , some of them, in my opinion, we are now seeing why the sector flared up... how a forgotten kiev comedian is experiencing a change in the information agenda , the polish ruling party refuses to give up power, what are tusk and his team ready to do? andrey sych , together with analysts and experts, will understand the trends of the modern world, watch the project of the telelenova trends agency, tomorrow after the panorama.

migration policy from the west is also genocide, two more people died on the border with latvia, given the ongoing violence against the devil. the number of victims on the external border of the european union is growing. the day before, belarusian border guards discovered the bodies of a man and a woman near the latvian fences. doctors confirmed their death. on the way to a better life , refugees faced an obstacle, the inhumane approach of the latvian authorities to solving the migration crisis and the cruelty of armed mercenaries on the border, who left no chance for survival, pushing them in the back

they drive them with machine guns... through the gates for animals in the latvian fence. an investigative team arrived at the scene and worked. an inspection was carried out and personal information was found. belongings of the dead, including funds from various countries; forensic medical examinations were ordered to establish the exact cause of death. the investigation into this incident was entrusted to the verkhnedvinsk district department of the investigative committee. this is the second death in a week. last saturday, near the gate in the latian fence, belarusian border guards found a woman of african appearance in an unconscious state. and despite first aid, she died before the doctors arrived. since the beginning of the year , 10 foreigners have died on the border with latvia, after the neighboring country cynically left people beaten and in need of help to their fate. there have also been numerous cases where refugees were forcibly

taken to the fence on the border and, under threat of physical harm, were forced to transport corpses to the territory of belarus. big business dialogue in minsk, as part of entrepreneurship week, today the main event took place - the business forum . a huge number of experts, representatives of government agencies and, most importantly, the private sector took part. as first deputy prime minister nikolai snopkov said, the government is interested in scaling and regional development of business. what worried the participants was whether it turned out frank. business power dialogue. anton malyutyy has details. at the moment, we have purchased equipment in china in order to produce components for vacuum tubes. we are currently producing needles. the needles look like this

. this private enterprise from osipovichi has been equipping laboratories for blood donation with all the necessary equipment for two decades, including vacuum tubes, which they make themselves. but now in the field of import substitution. a new height has been taken, needles are of domestic production, after setting up the equipment, trial batches will be able to go to hospitals and clinics, and not only belarusian ones. all of our products that we produce are import-substituting, we also export these products ourselves to countries such as russia, kazakhstan, uzbekistan, and some types of products that we are just starting to produce, we are already registering at this stage in kazakhstan and russia, such as. this is a contribution to our export potential, as well as the creation of jobs, contributions to the budget and, of course, independence from foreign suppliers. a brand made in belarus is not only about image, but also about the economic security of the country. but your sheath is not only to love, but also to be able to promote. fortunately,

there are plenty of tools. for a five-year period , a program for the development of small medium-sized businesses was adopted with a funding volume of 31 billion. and in just 2 years we have already. 21 have already been allocated for business development, that is, almost 67% of financial resources have been used by the business sector over 2 years, this suggests that there is a demand for the resources that are provided to business today. of course, the support came in very handy during the difficult covid and sanctions time, most entrepreneurs have adapted and continue to work in the new realities. everyone chooses a suitable form of business for themselves. naturally, the state creates conditions for those who make a greater contribution to the economy, and therefore facilitates the transition of individual entrepreneurs to a legal entity. for example, i will say that legal entities are a small medium-sized enterprise , one employee in these organizations

contributes to the budget of the order of 10 to 12,000 rubles per year, an individual entrepreneur 3,000, so our main support will of course is aimed at developing... manufacturing business, organized business, in this we will create all kinds of conditions. working rules for entrepreneurs in the country have been improving for several years; all innovations are being introduced gradually, taking into account the opinions of all parties. the main motive is justice, included in the updated tax code. i understand that maybe not everyone likes these changes, because i don’t want to go beyond this comfortable environment, i don’t want to bear a large financial burden, but such people, here a clear argument is that once before these changes began to be implemented, the average payment of an individual entrepreneur corresponded to the level of income tax payments of a high school teacher, that is, well, this is

not normal, to say the least, so now everything is being brought into line with common sense meaning, with economic laws, the voice of business is also heard, this is almost a quarter of our gdp and a third of the population employed in the economy. and also a significant share of belarusian exports, therefore there are no excesses in rebooting the work of the private sector of government they definitely won't allow it. entrepreneurship week is not a new format for belarus, but this time... the initiative to hold it was not business unions, but ministries, which means that there is a direct interest of the state in the confidential dialogue between business and government. today it was important to convey that no one is going to put any barriers to the development of a business initiative; on the contrary, only the green light is given to those who are ready to work honestly for the benefit of society. anton malyuta, alina lopo, viktor borisov and nikolai lashkevich, telelenova agency. and of course, in the issue of import substitution and export potential, there is a basis, technology and equipment. in velikiy kamen today

they solemnly launched the construction of a plant for the production of metalworking machines. one of the residents of the industrial park, the rontek company is expanding production in collaboration with chinese partners. a corresponding agreement was signed today. machine tool manufacturing is an important component of technological sovereignty; our own production will help avoid dependence on foreign ones. technology, worth it it should be noted that belarusian equipment is already used by many industrial giants of the country, while the new plant will provide the real sector with an even larger range of machines to solve any problems. very high-tech, in particular, a very unique technology for the production of mineral products - this is the frame, what the machine is essentially assembled on, the base of the machine, this technology will also be transferred to the territory of the republic of belarus, which is

the main component of the equipment, but also to be offered to other construction enterprises , not only on the territory, also on the territory of the federation and the whole world, for us this is an important joint project, it will expand the presence of our technologies not only in belarus, but throughout the entire region, and the new agreement will only strengthen our fruitful cooperation and long-term friendship, we hope that support for this project from our governments will help development and achieve good results. the new plant is planned to be launched next year, but for now the existing production is solving the problems of increasing localization in cooperation with other enterprises in the country. next year they plan to increase the localization level to 50%. the cooperation of the shanghai cooperation organization is also important for us. belarus is already on the threshold

, the structure created more than 20 years ago is gaining political weight, more and more states are showing interest in it, today the sco is an authoritative , influential multilateral platform. what is the secret of the shanghai spirit, when belarus can receive the status of a full member of the family. the secretary general of the shanghai organization answered our questions cooperation. mr. shanmin, hello, the shanghai cooperation organization is a unique institution, firstly, multilateral, secondly , the sco adheres to the principles of openness, good neighborliness, advocates strict adherence to the goals and principles of the un charter, many associate the above with such a term as the shanghai spirit, let's let’s expand on the concept of this term; we, based on the unshakable principles of the shanghai spirit, do not accept bloc ideologization.

practices of unilateral economic sanctions diktat politics. the sco stands for mutual respect, equality, mutually beneficial cooperation, recognition of the right of each state to choose its own model of political and social development, and a common understanding that comprehensive sustainable security can only be united and indivisible. we promote multilateral cooperation. it was the shanghai spirit that fueled the interest of other states in the organization. the countries of the middle east, north africa, southern and south-eastern asia, including belarus, are actively reaching out to us today. today, the highway includes 26 countries, whose population accounts for almost half of the world's population. the area is a quarter of the landmass, and the economy is a quarter of the entire world. there is every reason to say that the sco has become a kind of transregional organization. this

trend best proves that the principles and philosophy underlying the sco are deeply in demand in the world. the head of the belarusian state, alexander lukashenko , took the initiative to prepare a program for combining the information resources of transfer technology centers, and as he emphasized alexander lukashenko, this will stimulate the processes of promotion and commercialization of scientific and technical projects. we can say that active work is already underway within the sco that is directly related to this initiative; at the beginning of this year, at the suggestion of india, a new permanent mechanism was created, a special

working group on startups and innovation, its tasks include promoting the development of startup ecosystems, we would like touch upon cooperation between belarus and the sco countries, now official minsk is in the status observer and undergoes the process of joining as a full member. is this procedure successful, when will belarusians be able to receive this coveted status of a member of the shanghai cooperation organization? as you know, at the sco summit in new delhi , a memorandum of obligations of the republic of belarus was signed in order to obtain the status of a member state of the sco; this is a very important document for acquiring the status of a member state. minsk is already taking part in the activities of a number of organizational mechanisms. he is on his way to

full membership and this process is going well. the accession of the republic of belarus to the sco implies the active support of the member states. time. necessary to complete the domestic procedures for the entry into force of the memorandum of understanding varies depending on the situation in each of the member states, depends on the completion of legal procedures. according to the procedure for admitting new members, the next step should be ratification of this document by the republic of belarus. next, the applicant will join the charter, shanghai convention on combating terrorism, separatism and extremism of june 15, 2001 . and a number of international treaties and documents adopted within the framework of the sco. we hope that at the ostana summit next year minsk will become the tenth full member of the organization. mr. jan mintz, thank you very much for the interview.

the csto is also beginning to play an increasingly important role in the region. belarus is ready to share its experience in the field of confronting modern ones. this was noted by the minister of internal affairs at a meeting of the coordination council to combat drug trafficking. discuss modern threats and challenges of drug crime, exchange experiences and summarize the results of joint work over the past year. delegations of the ministry of internal affairs from all six participating countries, as well as the csto secretariat, came to the meeting in minsk. as ivan kubrakov will note, until recently the territories of the alliance were considered transit for drug trafficking. now it has become clear that they are trying to develop a full-fledged drug business here. the topic will be continued by victoria radevich. a twenty-year-old guy from russia was packaging a large batch of psychotropic drugs. in one of the hotels in minsk, when he was handcuffed by belarusian operatives. drug control officers found more than 3 kg of synthetic substances, known as 4 sms, with the guest.

thus, the career of a major foreign drug dealer in belarus is over. it was established that the defendant had been working for several years. an online drug market in a neighboring country. on the instructions of his curator, he brought a consignment of goods to belarus, where he planned to package it and transfer it to smaller couriers for sale; thousands of doses of the drug did not reach consumers. a criminal case has been initiated for drug trafficking with intent to sell. they know how to work with criminals of this kind in belarus and are ready to share their experience with colleagues from abroad. measures to counter the development of the drug business were discussed today in minsk in the csto format. this is the twenty-fifth annual meeting. in the current geopolitical situation , the drug threat does not lose its relevance and today’s realities are such that such meetings of law enforcement officers are already a necessity. if literally 2-3 years ago we all thought that our countries are

just transit sites for drug couriers, now we see more and more that the drug business is trying to conduct its criminal business precisely on the territory of the csto member countries. and we make all the necessary decisions and carry out various operational combinations. our task is to reach everyone, every participant in this criminal chain. as an example, belarusian operatives, together with colleagues from russia , conducted two so-called stages just this year.
