hello, you are looking. svetlana smolonskaya and tatyana sherbina. and today our guest is the secretary general of the belarusian red cross dmitry shevtsov. dmitry evgenievich, good afternoon. good afternoon. hello, dmitry evgenievich, we are glad to see you in our studio again. thank you, mutually. well, let's start with probably not very good , pleasant news, the board of the international federation of the red cross society of the red crescent, in the form of an ultimatum, demanded that you resign from your post. in

connection with your july trip to donbass, moreover, you must resign before november 30 , at first, the international red cross recommended you retire, a month later in october you called for it, and now it directly insists and demands you resign, nevertheless, you continue to head the belarusian red cross? yes, this situation generally began to develop a very long time ago, back in the summer in august, very actively, after... when the opposition media, when the first - it was ukrainian pravda - posted on its internet a screenshot taken from a four-part film about donbass, yes, where it was written that the secretary general confirms that he is involved in the removal and theft of children from donbass, yes, this absurdity was published, then he picked it up...

with other international media absolutely different, to be literal, they are from this film the phrase was even distorted, you said that we helped and will help, but they gave it away, that we were exporting and will export, i said then and i say now, this is all we need to know about the ukrainian truth, touching on exactly that page on which was it posted, and so on, then it was picked up by the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, who demanded that a criminal case be opened there about... against the secretary general, then, in my opinion, even the prosecutor general's office of ukraine, but it looks like something demanded it, and so on , that is, it’s such a cascade that the spread of a fake has begun, naturally the international federation of the red cross began an investigation into the fact of the trip, because i did not inform the federation about the purposes of my trip, that i was planning to go there, first of all it was

connected with... the physical safety of both mine and the people with whom i was traveling , well, taking into account the fact that i did not go there for the purpose of a humanitarian mission, yes, i did not carry a humanitarian cargo there, i went to visit those children with with whom we worked when they were on vacation in 1922, here in belarusian sanatoriums, that’s what i thought was not necessary here. inform about where the secretary general plans to go, yes, that is, i am a self-sufficient person, the organization is also self-sufficient, so we can you independently make decisions about certain trips, that is, it was important for you to prove the truth about these accusations that italy is a barbarian, lukashenko is a despot, they bring children, you know, yes, i believe that under no circumstances should we

to remain silent about even some crazy fakes that are posted somewhere on the internet, yes, we always, excuse me, must call on those people to answer, among the common people sometimes click on the nose, yes, and in no case frame not a single cheek, i’m basically like that, you know, on my own, probably not quite, a proper christian, i don’t turn the other cheek, i don’t even give the first cheek. in order for it to be hit, this is fundamental for me, this is my principle throughout my life, so it is natural that when accusations began against our country, against our president, and that belarus is engaged in - exporting - children from ukraine, and the theft of these children, when accusations were already made against alexei talai, but we all know who he is, and he is known all over the world, this is just some kind of absurdity and we then just talked. because we

cooperate with the alexei-talai foundation, in principle it was clear that the next one would be the belarusian red cross, this is very important, to pull this news in order to present it. the republic of belarus is stealing children, you see, we knew this, and we went through these things last year, when the situation had just begun, in ukraine, yes, when people were coming out along the corridor from the gomel region to us, they were already then they told crazy things that were circulating on the territory of belarus, that you didn’t... must enter the territory of belarus, and the ukrainian residents were quite widely informed about the fact that there are concentration camps here, that men are taken into slavery here, that women are taken into slavery here, yes, while talking to people, i said,

listen, are you really can you believe that a country that in the forties, when fascism came to our land, including to your land, to the ukrainian one, yes, when we went through concentration camps, when we went through gas chambers, when we went through all the hardships, executions, hangings and so on further, do you really think that we will do, create concentration camps, so returning now to this agenda, i perfectly understood that this would be the same fake that would be constantly layered, layered by the twenty-fifth frame, until people they will believe it, then they will say, bah, so the republic of belarus is stealing children, yes, and the main thing is to declare it, we see how it is done in our neighbors, european countries, the main thing is to say, no one will refute it, even if you press them, they are all will be equal tell us that yes, what is our principle, the facts are on the table, of course, the west cannot provide us with facts of theft, we did it a little differently, and alexey konstantinovich tolay and i got ready, went there, took a film crew

to document everyone that these are children, they now live in the donbass, which we had last year ... rested, rested, everything, every last one, yes, and, the main question, when did i meet with the children who came to us last year, this was the first question: children, do you i liked it in the republic of belarus, relaxing there in a sanatorium, communicating with friends, peers, second question, tell me, did everyone return, maybe someone got sick, maybe someone fell behind, maybe something else, you know, but the child can’t lie will be, and if you ask him this question, of course, if suddenly such... it happens that someone stayed there, for one reason or another, they , of course, will say, well, and moreover, we met with all the children, without exception, who were vacationing with us, it was filmed, released as a four-part film, where it was clear, yes, yes, where it was clear that all the children who were on vacation were returned to

their home, in my interview i said that we naturally worked towards helping the children who are on the territory of the republic belarus. so that children understand that there is childhood, there is a country where there is peace, where there is peace and order, where god lives, and we will continue to do this. dmitry evgenievich, what did these children talk about when you talked to them, what are their dreams? aspirations? it is enough just to observe these children in order to understand that they do not have a childhood, and those children who are already teenagers have already forgotten what childhood is. when they come to our sanatorium, or just to visit, children sit without light, because they forgot that the light can be turned on, they are surprised that water is flowing from the tap, they are afraid to go out in the evening, fearing that there might be some kind of artillery shelling , they could

die, when i went, especially to lisichansk, it’s very difficult to look at the conditions in which the children live, at windows shot through, with bullet holes, yes, shot through... buildings damaged by shrapnel and other things, the saddest thing is that there are children who were born in 2015 in the war, who lived for 7 years and then were blown up by a mini and did not see childhood at all , they did not know and will never know that there is another way of life, where there are green trees, where there are smiling people, and where you can walk at any time and wherever you want, enjoy life. this is probably the worst and saddest thing, because you are like an adult people understand that adults simply took away their childhood from these children, so in our work we must do everything so that when children come to our republic on vacation, even for a while,

even for 3 weeks, but the children finally remember or simply recognize, that there is another life and there is a real childhood to which we must strive, well, your powers were... confirmed at an extraordinary congress, you were elected secretary general in the twenty-first year for 5 years, accordingly, it was an extra-ordinary congress, and it was, well, as if caused exactly here. everything is transparent and democratic, what they teach us there in the west, or they have their own ideas about democracy, the audience themselves will draw a conclusion about the presentation of democracy, but the fact is that the recommendation of the committee was sent to the belarusian red cross, which led an investigation into this situation, a committee under the international federation of the red cross, which investigated.

i don’t remember the chronology in this letter, because a lot of these letters came, it was said that for a certain period, there somewhere until the middle september, i must resign immediately, or at the time of the investigation , that is, naturally, in order to fulfill the recommendations that are given to us so that the committee can conduct its independent investigation, i went ... on vacation, yes , i ceased my activities as general secretary until the congress was held, the chairman of the belarusian red cross set a date and time for holding it outside the next congress, at which the main issue was my resignation, this congress took place on september 7, we invited representatives of the international federation and the international committee of the red cross to this congress, so that they could take part in. unfortunately, none of them came to this congress, although the congress is quite

a serious and significant event in life national society, but at the same time, they gave me the floor, i told about the purpose of my trip, i talked about the comments and claims that were made to me by the international federation of the red cross, so it was decided - accept my resignation or not. and uh, the delegates of the congress from all of belarus unanimously voted for me to continue my work in the future - as the secretary general of the belarusian red cross and we immediately sent the minutes of this congress to the international federation of the red cross about what we considered your recommendations were implemented in full, and the recommendation was, naturally, we wrote that none of... the chairman or any other officials can simultaneously and with his own hand

write to resign, i am appointed by the congress, including , according to the charter, it makes a decision on my resignation, so we fulfilled all the recommendations, at the same time, when the committee came, including to belarus, which investigated this case, met including with me, with the chairman, we had a sufficient number, including with the leadership , with the top management of both the federation and the red cross committee, so we gave explanations, in principle they said that on october 3, there will be an extraordinary board international federation of the red cross, where the issue of my trip to donbass will be considered, this meeting took place on october 3, i was invited, including the chairmen of the belarusian red cross , they invited me to an online meeting, i spoke so that once again for the members of the presidium

of the international federation the red cross told me about my purpose of the trip , about the claims that were made against me, after listening to me, asking me questions, and they said that we will inform you about the future - the paths and decisions of the federation, soon to us, literally, probably the next day, but they sent a letter, it is in principle - almost the same thing was published on the website of the international federation of the red cross, but the meaning was that the federation does not consider the decision of the congress to be competent for the simple reason that it goes against the decision of the international federation of the red cross, they insist that the secretary general must still leave his post, they give a deadline until... november, if i don’t do this, then from november 30, or rather from december 1, will be suspended

membership of the belarusian red cross in the international federation of the red cross, funding will be suspended, all national societies will be told not to communicate with the belarusian red cross, international partners, including the international one , will stop any activities, that is , well, here we are... you assumed, that your trip to donbass will resonate so negatively in their hearts, let’s say, no, of course, among the sanctions that can be put forward against the national society, these are comments and some other positions, there are enough of them many, well, extremely negative, extreme, such strict sanctions, this is the suspension of membership, or complete exclusion from the ranks -

the red cross movement, well, it’s hard for me to say, you know, i’m watching this, i ’m drawing... analogies, well, i see these analogies when our society elects the president, there are 80% of the votes, the west does not agree with this, first they impose sanctions on the president , and then on the entire belarusian people, exactly the same in your situation, first on the general security council, and then on the entire organization, collective responsibility , that is, it is the same training manual, just different steps, well, interesting parallels, of course, but i understand that a contender has been created... although i still , some representatives of the international federation of the red cross - in my opinion , still have not deeply and finally delved into the essence of the ae itself my trip, for the simple reason that some people still talk about my two trips - to donbass , yes, although i immediately said everywhere that dear

colleagues, it was one trip, where i am in the photo in protective uniform, yes , and this is the same the same... trip during the same 7 days that i was in donbass, only this photo was taken on that day, the only one when i visited lisichansk, and it was a necessary measure, to put on this protective uniform, we’ve already talked about it they said a lot, in fact, everywhere i was in the clothes of the red cross, a t-shirt, a cap, my badge as the general secretary, and in all cities, even mariupol, including with the exception of lisichansk, i was in lisichansk. the boarding school where the children were staying, who were among the last in december last year came to novopolog to relax, we also met with them, gave them gifts, gave them a holiday, so it was also important for me to meet, see these children, show on camera that all these children who were in belarus are now in lisichansk, but

taking into account the fact that this is a front-line zone, there were literally, probably, 5 to 8 km from the combat zone, so the security measures were as follows, we were obliged to put on protective clothing, we were obliged to put on body armor, helmets, we were given first aid kits in case attacks on our convoy, and of course, these measures included, precautionary measures included so that we could blend in as much as possible with the local residents, and there practically... everyone wears just this kind of military or protective clothing, and well your red t-shirts and red caps would really stand out very much and attract attention , and moreover, moreover, with the people who accompanied us , the military, who ensured our safety, i just said it right in front of this house

boarding school, when we arrived, can i put on, like, a red t-shirt, so that the children can identify me, remember that... i am the secretary general of the red cross, they told me under no circumstances, because maybe any situation, in in the most extreme unfavorable case, i can be a very good target, so not only me, but also those people with whom i came could suffer, so they said, your clothes are now like this at this point, that’s why we came, at the same time, children remembered, and very little time passed there, how many months there? only seven or eight years had passed, so the children recalled a very emotional holiday in belarus , they remembered me, they remembered the red cross, we communicated a lot, talked a lot, of course, the purpose of our visit, the purpose of our trip to donbass was achieved. in the meantime, we’ll take a short break, our telegram channel, don’t be silent, subscribe, ask your questions and suggest us new interesting guests, we

are connected. the commonwealth of independent states integration, which unites over 230 million people, the leaders of the countries discussed how everyone to be stronger together, a red thread, in the theses of the belarusian president sounds one, the world is big, the light has definitely not converged like a wedge only on europe and america. the development of cooperation with russian regions is an absolute priority for us. a priority. literally every week the head of state holds negotiations with governors, alignment to the right, or who these days are inspired by the third reich, from the nazis

in the canadian parliament to the fascists in the european union. russians are becoming the new jews. belarusians, by the way, also fall into this category, for persecution and infringement of rights a linguistic sign is sufficient. main topics on the main broadcast. watch on the belarus 24 tv channel. we will introduce you to belarusians who deliberately exchanged the city for the village. at that time, we already had two horses of our own, they were standing in a stable near minsk, we had an idea, that is , first of all, moving from the city to the village, and then try to do something of our own. they believed in themselves, their strengths and achieved results in their favorite business. we have a plot of land of 100 g, rent. 53-55 fruit-bearing garden and 45

heck of currants, the presenter from the capital will have to experience all the delights of rural life, she eats the rope, it’s normal, it happens, well , he’s playing around, grisha, be a man, come on, let’s go to the apple farm, they said, everything is modern there, you don’t have to do almost anything , it will be, they said, you know, i was joking, but he accepted everything, i’m serious about the project from the village, watch it on the belarus 24 tv channel, the program is on air again, say don’t be silent. and today our guest is the secretary general of the belarusian red cross dmitry shevtsov. please tell me, did the international federation itself do anything specific to help the residents of donbass, the civilians

of donbass? we must understand that there are specifics to the work of the international federation of the red cross, this is the structure that works there in principle - in peacetime, yes, or assistance to refugees from some country on the territory of other countries. there is an international red committee. krista, their mandate is just beginning, the main one, this is work brought about by some upheavals in those countries where there is significant humanitarian crisis, then they start working, just in donbass, uh, i don’t have information about whether the international committee or the international federation of the red cross worked, i know that there is an office of the international... committee of the red cross in donetsk cross, when we drove to lisichansk, from lugansk and back , and along the road there were large billboards, where it was written: attention

to mines, do not go to the side of the road, but these billboards were installed by the international committee of the red cross, there was an emblem when we talked with people, we talked there with the families of those children who were vacationing with us, with people when we met, they saw that the belarusian red cross, they said that you are the first who, whom we see in general from the red cross, that is, whether it worked or not, i have information , well, that is, they are listed there nominally, this is the behavior of the west, yes, it is, well, after barel’s statements that europe is a blooming garden, the rest of the world is a jungle, yes, that is, well, it would be stupid to expect only some more human. some action statements, but the publication of the economist happened, well, at least i didn’t expect such an explanation of why so many children die in gas, in

the gas sector, it turns out that demography is to blame for everything, specifically, the article says that there are just a lot of children there, about half the population there is under 20 years old, well, other than cynicism, it seems to me that this is... impossible, well, you know, for me, yes, this word also came to mind for me, namely cynicism, because to say that there are too many children, so they are in big numbers and die, well, this is the height of cynicism, but at a minimum, in fact , i would just demand that the author of this article explain himself, and maybe even be held accountable for such a conclusion, because it borders as if with very serious issues, yes, in fact , this is what concerns the gas sector, the conflict...

between israel and palestine, but this is a rather serious issue, i know that it is the international federation and the international committee that work in these hot spots , here, but naturally, we must all work towards it is clear that the red cross movement cannot in any way influence this or that political movement, i simply call on all sensible humanity that we must make every effort to do as much as possible. quickly extinguish this fire that has flared up, because we understand that this is a smoldering fire, it has been in the middle east for quite a long time in one country or another, many countries have already ceased to exist as independent countries, so this conflict, firstly from a political point of view vision will not lead to anything good, this can lead to the chronicization of this

confrontation, moreover, many ... refer to the fact that this could serve as a trigger for the beginning of the third world war, god forbid, but most importantly, the number of victims and peaceful population, it is simply terrifying, very scary to look at those people, at those bombed houses, on the one hand, on the other hand, a large number of casualties from un observers, but this has never happened, 88 people died, that is, it is clear that more than 106 died . understandable, because hospitals were attacked, and in the same way other missionaries died, not only representatives of the un, therefore a large number of correspondents died, and therefore we must, as quickly as possible, nullify this conflict in order to sit down at the negotiating table, to begin the round table of negotiations just to work to ensure that not a single bomb falls on either territory, well

, it seems to me that dmitry shevtsov, and to deal with, well, specifically some kind of peaceful ones, an emergency call is always announced if there is such a global upheaval , including as a result of the conflict in ukraine, since last year an emergency conscription was also announced and the so-called drink, public sponsors provide financial resources so that the money is sent to those countries where refugees are located, money stand out for belarus and for ukraine, and for poland, and for slovakia, and for other countries where ukrainian residents began to move as a result of this armed conflict, but the point is that i reliably obtain information that

the rhetoric of international sponsors... just boils down to the fact that we are ready to provide assistance, with regards to supporting ukrainian refugees, without question, but not for belarus, not for the russian federation, such rhetoric sounds, so of course, the federation has to it’s not easy, we all understand perfectly well that we are in such a fairly electrified society, an electrified world in general, where even some economic issues have long faded into the background. and logic has long been turned off by a large and powerful switch, in first place exclusively political passions, political battles emerge, and at a price that is quite serious even for our own countries, we can clearly see this , an adult will understand what i’m talking about, so the federation , to the best of its ability, of course, tries to maneuver, but the main principle is

neutrality, yes, one in which, among other things, one of the accusations against me was that i violated the principle of neutrality, but i still hope that the federation, the international federation of the red cross, will fully adhere to this the principle of neutrality and independently make a decision on this or that case, without relying on pressure, or the currents that are now going on all over the world, according to that simple principle. that a lot of fakes actually circulated around my trip, they continue to circulate around my trip, despite the fact that the investigation has long been completed, yes, there has already been another deadline given for the belarusian red cross, but there is an official loud denial that the belarusian red cross the cross participated in the deportation of

violent children from lugansk and donetsk there were no people's republics yet, only on the website it was written in one sentence that, as it were, the belarusian red cross, we still convinced them. that he did not participate in this, but some official denials to those media that continue to periodically raise this topic, but so far there has been nothing, but the federation’s demands to dismiss you are also a kind of emergency call was, don’t you think, they threatened that your membership would be suspended if you didn’t leave, you already said yes above that we will be deprived of any funding, will we be able to function the belarusian red cross without these funds?

i will tell you as a doctor that human reserves are limitless, we can, therefore, taking into account the fact that the belarusian red cross consists of real belarusians, i think that we will cope with any challenges that will stand in our way, the migration crisis, the belarusian-polish border , this was a very serious challenge for the belarusian red cross, because we, naturally, are the coordinators of the humanitarian mission, humanitarian activities on the territory of the republic of belarus, and if the whole society had not risen, if all citizens without exception had consolidated, we would never have coped with this task in our lives, it is necessary to have some reserve of financial resources, it is necessary to have what reserve in warehouses necessary

property, clothing, hygiene products, food, well, listen, tell me, what national society is able to have , just in case, such a reserve, which must be constantly updated, no, especially since we in fact, we were not ready for such rapid development and no one could even imagine that this would happen, but thanks to our society, thanks to the regional executive committee, thanks to the leadership of our country , decisions were made to consolidate society, and a call that let us help these poor, unfortunate people who were simply physically stuck on the border, who were at the barbed wire, who had not eaten anything for three 3-4 days, walked through the forest, now came out and asked for help, we then consolidated, all together, there was a large number, clothes, there were a large amount of hygiene, food, and even baby formula, because there were pregnant and nursing mothers, including disabled people, we saw it all, and we coped with this task, yes,

our international partners joined, it’s understandable, but they needed a period of time, coordination, approval of budgets, this is understandable, it is such a, well, routine, a necessary routine, but there is probably order already. in about a month and a half, not earlier, yes, during this period we worked exclusively on those resources that were raised, including me i am very grateful to the media, which constantly kept this problem at the top and thanks to which people constantly responded, we see the situation on the belarusian-ukrainian border, where there was a completely different perspective, although quite a large number of refugees from ukraine also came to us, yes, this is a village by day: gomel region, varaginsky district, then , in fact, we all consolidated, the regional leadership decided that these people would be accommodated in sanatoriums, that what would be provided

transport to accompany them from the point where we had a tent camp, which worked around the clock, round-the-clock medical care was provided, psychosocial support was provided, again, people were provided with everything they needed and hygiene clothing, because some of the people were in need of... but that’s why it ran, yes, all needs were completely met, this again thanks to our society, our people, then an emergency appeal was announced for all countries, of course, and funding was allocated, including for the republic of belarus, for which i am sincerely grateful to the international federation of the red cross, and to other un partner organizations , including those located on the territory of the republic of belarus, no one remained indifferent, but the first period fell on the shoulders of our society, so we really did not we are sitting still , we understand perfectly well that, uh, the vast majority of the funding that was allocated and is being allocated by international partners is funding for assistance, and

for refugees who are on the territory of the republic of belarus and migrants, our services e are funded, but the program is already being phased out, because part of the program has been going on for a very long time and is just now approaching ... the period for the end of funding by the swiss red cross, the norwegian red cross, this year the funding for the italian red cross project ended, that is, how if only those projects ... are ending, no new ones are envisaged yet, and we are accustomed to the fact that all the services provided by the belarusian red cross are help to our children, especially children from disadvantaged families, children without parents, children, disabled people, simply disabled people, our pensioners, people living alone, people who are released from prison, who are without a fixed place of residence, who are sick with socially dangerous diseases, as well as many, many other projects,

they are financed from membership fees collected by the belarusian red cross, so i want to say that the overwhelming majority, the lion's majority of funding for all these projects is carried out with the help, with support of our citizens, therefore we have carried out this work and will continue to carry out this work in the future, including, and not only without reducing the volume, but we will gradually increase assistance, including, because we work not only thanks to membership fees, there is also sponsorship from some enterprises, we work within the framework of the state social order with the healthcare system, with the ministry of labor, employment, social protection , including, we have partnerships with the state border committee of the ministry of foreign affairs

affairs, the ministry of internal affairs, the ministry of emergency situations, the belarusian red cross is a five-party agreement, so we have a lot of common ground, we have worked and will continue to work , yes, difficult times will come for us, i do not hide it, i understand this perfectly well, and so do my colleagues including this, they understand this very well, but we will work to ensure that the belarusian red cross remains a reliable social partner for our state, despite these rather difficult times, are you still planning any new projects? of course we don't stand still, we we are working, we are now finishing up a very important project, these are crisis centers, we have created crisis centers in all regional cities, now we are literally opening a crisis center in mogilev next week, this is a very large crisis center, and we have also now started repairing the crisis center center in... this is the very first crisis center, it was called the crisis room, it was so

small, absolutely, now thanks to the regional executive committee, we have a new room, which we are now bringing into compliance, in order for there to be a crisis center and a children's center, because now it is located in another room, we will now do a little, such an easy upgrade, so that it will all be on one side. this allows and the efficiency was high. and now we’ll take a break for a while, after a short pause we’ll return to this studio again, for now subscribe to our telegram channel, it ’s called say don’t be silent, look for all our episodes on the youtube channel belarus 1. the program say don’t be silent is on air again. our guest is the secretary general of the belarusian

red cross dmitry shovtsov. dmitry evgenievich, you have both staff members in the belarusian red cross and volunteers. i would like to talk about those and others. these are people who do a lot of work and, in general, do a noble cause. how to become an employee of the belarusian red cross, how to become a volunteer, what is needed for this, it is necessary to have a medical education and special skills. you do not need to have any special medical education. because we have medical and social help is one of the areas of our activity, how to become an employee, and the main thing is to have a good heart, yes, this is the principle of work of an employee of the belarusian red cross and a volunteer as well, we don’t have many employees, we have about 420 employees per the entire republic of belarus, that is, a little over 50 in each region, about thirty-one people in our central office, i think, just, but taking into account... multitasking, taking into account that constant work, yes, we have

shares , of course, we carry them out, of course, but we have a lot of different areas of activity that i talked about, aimed at supporting our needy beneficiaries, those who need help here now in various categories, we could never cope without volunteers, in total we have plus or minus order 15,000 volunteers, of which i would single out about 250 volunteers, these are rapid response teams, that is, the so-called emergency teams, where the volunteer has been a volunteer for a very, very long time, and there are about 5-7 there are 10 and 11 years old, these are people who are absolutely trained, able provide first help, who know how to provide psychosocial support, who know how to respond to emergency situations, various man-made and natural ones, including, because every year we train these teams together with the ministry of emergency situations,

independently, various trainings are ongoing, so that people could they come here now to provide assistance in various areas, the scenario, as for employees and volunteers in general, is there any need for any special training, definitely, but we are already working with them when they became either our employees or volunteers, that is, just have an open heart, come to us, and then we will teach everything, explain, tell, show, because there are many volunteers, they go to the site, to pages on the internet, yes when they don't want to become. they can choose in which direction they want to work, and you know, out of these 1,500 we have, in my opinion , about 85% are our youth, active, a lot, you know, yes, in fact it is, and student ones, and working youth, yes, and people of working age, we have

more than 10% of volunteers are people of golden age, these are people who have left but have an active civic position, they also come to us as volunteers and we are also very interested in these people, because when we talk about volunteer assistance to elderly people living alone, then of course there is no barrier here, too young is too old, here such volunteers are gold for us, because they can talk, they can explain, of course, of course, this is the most important thing. and of course the help they provide is there cleaning, cooking, doing something else, it is very important, but the most important thing is, as i say, there is a concept in medicine of therapeutic contact, when you have close contact with a person, emotional contact, when he understands you, when you

understand him , you speak on the same wavelength, then all problems are leveled out, and the person you are helping, you are helping comprehensively, this is the most important thing. are there any incentives for volunteers? well, because the employee is clear, he works for a salary, is he a volunteer? yes, you know, of course there is, despite the fact that a volunteer is a person who comes at the call of his heart, we select the best volunteers from each region, each region constantly meets with its volunteers, holds various events, on december 5th, right here... we will have a very big volunteer forum, when we will invite the best volunteers from each region here to the city of minsk, where there will be a very interesting program for them, i will not reveal the secret yet, it will be very interesting, there will be various

prizes, various thanks to expressed by volunteers, not only employees of the red cross, but also those guests who will be invited to... this holiday, then there will be a very interesting program for them, i think they will be very pleased and understand that the family of the belarusian red cross - this is the family that cares , first and foremost, about its volunteers, but tell me, a volunteer in the belarusian red cross, can he make, well, let’s say, a kind of career? yes, there are people who came to try what it’s like to become a volunteer, they liked it and then became our employees. and now they work in the central office and including in regional and other district organizations, because well , you know, i myself once learned from my student days that there was such a youth red cross, and it was very interesting, because, well, as a future physician, the work of the belarusian red cross was

very clear and absolutely parallel, and with the messages that are given to future doctors in the process of training. in our universities it is presented, then in the future it will be like this it turned out that i headed the presidium of the regional organization of the red cross, that is, i still provided a kind of volunteerism to the belarusian red cross and i understood that this is my life and the belarusian red cross, no matter where i was, where i worked, it cannot disperse, so there are a lot of such examples, when you are simply a volunteer, then an employee. then your life is so connected with the belarusian red cross that you no longer think differently, and then you are the general secretary, and what could be

on... after all, you have several areas of activity, you know, yes, firstly , we have services, yes, an additional assistance service, and volunteers come, basically, we cover more of the private sector, when guys just come, mostly young people , to help clean up the area, yes, firewood, chop firewood, clear paths in winter, help purchase. agricultural products, go to the store, including the pharmacy, yes it seems banal, but of course, to help prepare food, this is all the work of our volunteers, if we say helping children, then this includes our very bright services - nanny instead of mother, i think this is the most sincere service that the belarusian red cross has, that we have our volunteers who act as nannies when a child enters a health care institution from a boarding school

when he is alone, it is clear that medical workers have their own responsibilities, then we provide a nanny who replaces this child’s mother, who is with this child during the day and takes care of him exclusively for that the period while he is in the hospital, and we have... a very good campaign, we will collect children for school, when our caring citizens help, someone collects a briefcase, someone transfers funds, which are used to purchase everything necessary for so that children from low-income families can go to school on september 1 and be just like everyone else, not feel vulnerable somewhere, and we have the most wonderful wish tree promotion, it’s just a wonderful thing when it’s in large shopping centers, yeah. christmas tree is displayed red cross, on which hang small cards with the wishes of specific children, and these are actually very sincere actions when

any person understands, you know, me too, despite the fact that i work in the red cross, i am also a volunteer, if we are talking about these actions and about getting the children ready for school and about the wish tree, when you come up and read the wishes of the children, you understand that by giving the child the gift that is written there, yes, you don’t know who you helped more, so in fact, for him or for yourself, because when you buy a child a gift to an unknown child, and when you understand that this is the wish that he ordered, but for him, in fact, this is the most desired and you give it to a child who is not being brought up like everyone else, and for him this gift for the new year is

in fact, a gift from santa claus, we do good deeds, the kinder and better we become , this is probably why the republic of belarus always prospers, because as you said, we are ready to share the last shirt, the last crust of bread, with those who needs this help, regardless of the fact that we may not have so much food on the table ourselves, but nevertheless we will always share so that a person does not feel inferior, this is the most important thing. and thank you very much for coming to our studio, sharing your thoughts, your projects, answering all our questions, but for now, can we just wait for november 30th and wait for common sense to win? we need to continue working, of course, yes, we are waiting for november 30, because from december 1 the international federation of the red cross will probably decide how we will further. act, how we will build our partnerships, will these partnerships be with the belarusian red cross, we understand that the services are there, they

will continue to work, but we have people who are fleeing some kind of cataclysms, upheavals in their own countries who reside on the territory of the republic of belarus, so we are ready for dialogue, we are ready to cooperate with the red cross movement, with others. public international organizations, yes, so that the main the message was mercy, i believe that this is the main slogan, the main principle of any humanitarian society, any humanitarian organization and it should be at the forefront, but we continue to work, because we have a lot of plans, including for next year, including for the next years, and therefore... we are always developing , we are always moving forward, we are always in sight so that everyone can join and give their

part to the belarusian red book so that... those people, who need and ask help from us, they could understand that this help does not come from the belarusian red cross, from all residents of the republic of belarus, this is the most important thing, but we wish you success in this good deed and hope that everything is with us it will be good, tatyana sherbina, svetlana smolonskaya, we say goodbye to you until the next broadcast, goodbye, goodbye, and now dmitry shevtsov is speaking, in fact, the world is very electrified, there are a lot of different cataclysms, but it’s very nice to know that the republic of belarus exists that island peace, prosperity and , uh, humanity, which the republic of belarus has always been, the territory on which the republic of belarus is located, our residents, our belarusians, who from generation to generation from our great-great-grandfathers, to our parents, to us, to

our children grandchildren that we will pass on, a piece of ourselves, a piece of mercy and compassion we will always pass on in our hearts, this is the most important thing, to remain human, to remain a person with a capital “h”, ready to sympathize, ready to help and ready to live together in a calm and prosperous belarus, thank you very much, dmitry evgenievich, according to established tradition, i ask you to leave an autograph for us as a souvenir, wishes for us to our viewers, with pleasure. i hope the doctor's handwriting will be clear. let's check it out.

in our country there are several institutions of national export support institutions, both financial and non-financial. they provide exporters with a fairly wide range of their services in the national marketing center our team we felt exactly the practical need to gather all our support institutions on one platform so that they can comprehensively and systematically present their services, that is, how they can practically be useful to our exporters, in an applied sense, in other words, on the other

hand, the exporters themselves.. .taking into account the functionality, because each institute has, as i said, its own specifics, its own functionality, its own specialization, and exporters , in turn, must clearly understand who they should turn to at the right time in order to receive quality services for supporting export transactions or the formation of export transactions , who will be primarily interested in how useful this forum is already... today there is a high interest in participants, probably some kind of preliminary accreditation is already working, you know, our main goal was that this there should not be a forum for the sake of a forum , there are a lot of such forums held in different countries on different continents, we focus primarily on the applied and practical nature of this event, the interest is very great, now we already have more

400 registrations, that is, our exporters, more than 400 of our companies have expressed interest and participate in this forum , uh, what else are we looking at, why, why this might be interesting, we, it’s no secret that now our exporters have to work, to put it mildly, very difficult and non-standard conditions, and we dismantled, dismantled the entire export chain, that is, the path that our exporter goes through from the moment he makes a decision to... the delivery of his products abroad, we dismantled this entire chain, according to these components , formed sections, they will concern both marketing and financial support for exports, customs clearance, logistics, tariff non-tariff regulation, market conditions,

e-commerce, that is, let’s put it this way, then... modern tools that appear in trade relations, in export transactions , naturally, there are a lot of questions, a lot of problems, and we need to nourish them. make correct, verified business decisions, this is the main information useful for them so that they can such an idea, in the same context we are considering , i said, we will already have several round tables, in the same context we will have an interesting discussion, it seems to me, a one-window platform for exporters, the idea itself, it is very interesting, so from my point of view, it should be implemented, the question is how? so we want to hear, first of all, our exporters,

exporters, in what form this platform should function, how it should be useful for them, first of all. although our company multi-category, but historically and to this day, most of our products are fish and seafood products, everyone knows, this is already a parable, even in russia, yes, why is there no sea in brist, no sea in belarus, and belarusian products, fish, are widely distributed in all markets, our goal: constant development, yes, we understand that in no case should we stop, my name is elena kotlyarenko, i am deputy director for

quality of the bremer company, the mission of our company, producing food, each day to make people's lives better. my work day begins naturally with getting acquainted with e-mail, with e-mails , depending on what, in general, i read there, yes, i begin to plan my work day, the main one, of course, is communication, naturally with my structural managers

divisions, this is the quality department of the head of the production laboratory, our company’s portfolio includes 12 product categories, but the main ones are seles, red fish, crab sticks. caviar, spread group, ice cream, salads, seaweed products, semi-finished products, meat, half pancakes.
