from trade to joint ventures, our president called for not limiting ourselves to simple supplies of products in cooperation with russian regions, even if the level of trade is unprecedented, such as with the moscow region. alexander lukashenko held talks with the regional governor the day before. the capital region of russia is our strategic partner, and also the leader among the subjects of the federation in terms of trade volume. by the end of the year, we expect to reach...

all of western russia, well, perhaps with moscow, although it’s not entirely easy there, but i think that if we will begin to interact closely , you will help us in this matter, it cannot be that we can work actively in vladivostok, and not work in moscow, this is some kind of nonsense, i have already told the russian ambassador about this, he agrees with me, but we are working on it with him. the allies' priority is to create new import-substituting industries for the moscow region - this is topic number one. there are about 200 similar projects under consideration in the region, and belarus is ready to join joint production chains. we have experience, scientific base and desire to work together. as the head of the moscow region noted following the negotiations, belarus is significant for the region in all respects. the cis countries have returned to the growth trajectory, this was discussed at. council of

heads of government in moscow. at the end of 9 months, the volume of industrial production increased by almost 3.5%. freight transportation by almost 6%, and retail trade turnover by 5%. the belarusian side emphasizes: it is necessary to continue active work to remove obstacles in mutual trade, liberalize the service sector and attract investments. another guideline for the community is the creation of high-tech products that are superior in characteristics. foreign analogues, such examples today can be seen in cooperation within the framework of the union state and the eurasian economic union. it is important to move forward synchronously, to jointly produce competitive products, and we already have many examples of such interaction, but we need to scale them up as actively as possible. for this purpose, in the current year, one should use proven effectiveness adopted in the yas and the union state of belarus and russia. well, you know

that within the framework of the yaas , a cooperation project to create a eurasian electric bus is in an active stage of development, a decision has been made on the formation of a corresponding interstate program, as well as a decision on the procedure for financing such projects. i am confident that such end-to-end integration projects can and should be promoted within the cis, and fully utilize the joint scientific, technological and financial potential of our countries. the prime minister added that an important component in strengthening the commonwealth is also exhibition and fair activities. next year belarus plans to organize more than 15 expositions at international exhibition venues in five cis countries. the defense ministers of germany and lithuania signed a plan in vilnius to deploy the bundeswehr brigade in the country. it is assumed that the transfer of german soldiers will begin in 2025, and by 27 the brigade will be deployed in lithuania. the authorities, however, declare

that funds will definitely be found to settle the germans, regardless of who will continue to be in power and what political changes await lithuania in the future. 4,500 german troops are expected to be stationed on the border with the kaliningrad region and not far from the suwałki corridor. the invitation of the germans was another manifestation of the militaristic psychosis of the lithuanian authorities, which had already led to a sharp increase in the local military budget. wallets are emptying and tariffs are rising. in chisinau , the protest action ended with mass arrests. tens of thousands of moldovans gathered on the central avenue of the capital to demand help from the authorities in paying utility bills. tariffs for electricity and heating in the country continue.
