anal property reaction to the ukrainian threat was a timely goal of the operation to be achieved. russia withstood crushing western sanctions and did not fall vladimir putin on the day of russian parliamentarism addressed the council of legislators from st. petersburg ilya fedosov. gas for rubles, how does this scheme work and why are deliveries to poland and bulgaria stopped in the reportage of the sable novel? russian pilot yaroshenko exchanged for an american student after 10 years of negotiations after a secret transfer in istanbul operation details. vladimir kobyakov has another

defeat of the ukrainian formations of the army of russia and lugansk completely liberated the city of rubizhne, but the enemy is hiding in underground bunkers, and the mariupol scenario in the lpr from the spot anatoly mayorov ukrainian servicemen continue to surrender en masse and some of them want to become citizens of the dpr why ilyashennin will tell ? hello welcome to the information service of the ntv television company this is the program today its presenter anna nikolaeva chernyshov special operation in donbass prevented a large-scale conflict that was planned to unfold on the territory of our country . vladimir putin said this today. he spoke

at the council of legislators in st. and if someone in the future tries to interfere in the affairs of russia, then you will get the toughest rebuff. putin spoke about the economy and the protection of journalists. i listened attentively to the cohesion of society. starting with congratulations and asking legislators to be on constant communication with the citizens of vladimir putin mentioned that now, more than ever, the inhabitants of russia are united in the basic interests and the basis of russian statehood, love for the motherland still remains, then the president went directly to the topic of a special military operation that is being carried out on the territory of ukraine and i want to again to emphasize all the tasks of the special military operations that we are conducting in the donbass and ukraine, which began on february 24, will certainly be fulfilled in order to guarantee security measures for the inhabitants for a historical perspective. uh,

the donetsk and lugansk people's republics of the russian crimea and our entire country need to be clearly aware that our soldiers and officers averted a real danger that has already hung over our homeland with their courage, determination and heroism. they determined a large-scale conflict that would unfold on our territory. already on other people's scenarios. the forces that have historically pursued and are pursuing a policy of containing russia have historically pursued it this way. basically, old times. you are good. you know, so independent. why did they do it? yes, because such an independent big huge country is not necessary even according to their ideas. they believe that it poses a danger to them simply by the fact of its existence. according to the head of the russian state, russians remember how the collective west encouraged terrorists. in

the north caucasus, he tried to speculate on social injustices, but not out of good intentions, but with the aim of destroying russia in parts, then vladimir putin reminded that western countries tried to strangle our country economically and finally moved on to the ukraine anti-russia project. the entire course of recent events, including the claims of the kiev regime for the possession of nuclear weapons, the deployment on ukrainian territory of a network of western biological laboratories without interruption. the stakes on ukraine of the most modern weapons confirm that our reaction to these cynical plans was correct and timely, if someone intends to intervene in the ongoing events from the outside, then they should know, yes, and they will create for russia an unacceptable strategic threat. they have to know that our e response to oncoming blows. eh, be e lightning fast. we have

all the tools for this that no one can boast of now. and we will not brag, we will use them if necessary. and i want everyone to know about it. we have made all decisions on this matter. thanking the legislators for their support, vladimir putin expressed the hope that in the future the work would also proceed intensively in the current situation. we have to react quickly in order to neutralize the consequences of the introduced against russia sanctions in the near future will be made specific decisions on the indexation of pensions of all social benefits, as well as the salaries of specialists employed in the public sector for the practical implementation of this step, i ask parliament. uh, parliamentarians to work out in the most thorough way all the necessary amendments and legal mechanisms, these and our other decisions are aimed at providing direct assistance to the most

vulnerable categories of families with children and older people, key sectors of the economy, strategic enterprises of small and medium-sized species business. also, support is and will be provided. as a result. we are not just taking the measures that i just said have been relaxed, but as has already been said. the very first ones were repelled, as the west considered a crushing blow from illegitimate sanctions against our country, in conclusion, vladimir putin added that some international political platforms, taking into account recent events, have lost their relevance, however, russia has many supporters in the world and it is necessary to maintain diplomatic contacts with them in order to convey the position of our state, the president also mentioned a recent attempt to organize a terrorist attack in order to eliminate some russian journalists. he told security representatives. the media will be provided. yes and in in general, such attempts to intimidate are doomed to

failure, on the contrary, this will bring even more people into their ranks to show that we have people who are not afraid of anything and who are ready and will defend the interests of our country. ilya fedosov sergei vorobyov sergei preobrazhensky ntv petersburg gazprom today completely stopped gas supplies to poland and bulgaria, as the company said from these countries, payments for april in rubles were not received. deliveries will not resume until payment is received. and the kremlin today was answered by the head of the european commission, ursula von der lein, who called gazprom's message about the suspension of deliveries an attempt at blackmail. moscow was reminded that a significant amount of reserves had actually been stolen from russia. this required i think the payment system roman sobol more. no money european consumers had almost a whole month to deal with the terms

of payment for russian gas, different countries showed different approaches, sometimes pragmatic, sometimes defiantly aggressive, but now the time has come to pay the bills on the gazprom website, it is reported that bulgaria and poland did not make the payment. due to this. they received a notice to suspend gas supplies, starting today, until they pay off their debts. in case of unauthorized withdrawal of transit gas destined for other countries transit deliveries will be proportionally reduced by the end of march. vladimir putin ordered to sell gas to unfriendly countries exclusively for rubles, since many russian accounts abroad were frozen to leave our goods and the european union in the united states and receive payment in euro dollars. strands of other currencies no longer make any sense for us, so i decided to implement a set of measures on the

transfer of payment in the shortest possible time, let's start with this from our natural gas to the transfer of payment for our natural gas supplied to the so-called unfriendly countries for russian rubles, that is, to refuse to use in such calculations all currencies that have compromised themselves. at the same time, i want to emphasize that russia will unconditionally continue to supply natural gas in accordance with the volumes and prices, and the pricing principles fixed in the concluded protection contracts. unlike some colleagues, we value our business reputation as a reliable partner and supplier the change will affect only the payment currency, which will be changed to russian rubles for conscientious buyers, a fairly simple mechanism for calculating foreign partners was offered. it was not even necessary to independently

search for rubles on the stock exchanges, and russia insured itself against unnecessary transactions in foreign banks and the risk that money for gas would also be frozen due to some next package of sanctions does not change anything for our customers. this is the only new requirement to open two new accounts in gazprombank, so there are no additional difficulties, difficulties or any losses, any changes in the price defects that may arise due to the tension of the exchange rate , and so on. we can't talk here, so let's just say it brought it. actually , the national economy for the sake of some absolutely imaginary political prejudices, or rather, not a prejudice about desire. by all means punish our country even to the detriment of your own and taxpayers and gas consumers and producers and so on. unfortunately, some europeans probably follow this path.

the decision of poland and bulgaria was purely political, not logical. now, about 10 european countries are reported to have already opened the accounts necessary for paying gazprombank. in particular. hungary problems with payment. she doesn't have a single question. transit pipe. it goes through bulgaria and uninterrupted gas supply. depends on the honesty of the transit country of bulgaria. she refuses to supply gas to bulgaria does not mean the termination of transit through bulgaria natural gas supplies. hungary is going smoothly. in accordance with the contract and schedule, our account opened with gazprombank will be carried out. transfers in euros, and then there will be a currency exchange from the amount in rubles will be transferred to gazprom export premier urban said that for his country, gas supplies are a little more a matter of economic survival, and equivalently replacing russian energy resources. nothing, soon the time will come for other european countries to pay for april cubic meters roman

sobol valeria sokolova vyacheslav zubarev ntv television company today, a long-term priest was suddenly resolved with an appeal from an american prison for the russian pilot konstantin yaroshenko , he was exchanged for a us citizen who was serving in russia from a rose attack on a policeman, the exchange itself turned out in the spirit of a spy detective. the best details. we will find out now. at vladimir kobyakov's oh well, this is news about iroshenko. today was really unexpected and surprised almost everyone, and, as i understand it, in russia and in the united states it was perceived in the same way. here unexpected surprise. why so reaction? well, what happened today, probably doubly unexpected, firstly, negotiations on the exchange of roshenko, went on in one form or another under three american presidents and before, and ended in nothing. secondly, no one expected that in the end the exchange would still take place, when relations between moscow and washington are actually at the bottom. and by the way, some saw this as a relatively positive

moment, since in such difficult conditions , contacts are maintained on issues in which already and did not count on a constructive solution. not well , the russian pilot yaroshenko was exchanged for an american student trevor reed, he was sentenced in moscow to 9 years for attacking a policeman, this happened when he was taken to the police station after a drunken brawl. and here is a video of how today the americans are bringing to vnukovo airport in order to send it by plane to istanbul at about the same time, a plane from the united states on board of which yaroshenko was supposed to fly up to turkey and already look at istanbul airport you see these shots on the takeoff strip. special agreements. two liners drove up to each other for a short distance and both roshenko and rit moved, respectively, one to the russian plane, the other to the american one. you can see it now in the salon and roshenko had a quick medical examination and at that

time he was talking about traces of handcuffs and bracelets on his legs. yes, such a brace somewhere here, sex does not close, and they, in fact, stand well and do not move, it is impossible. everything and now the witness of the exchange from the russian side gives some details of this event. they point out that american reed left the territory of russia, as they say, in good physical shape with two bags of things. and this could be seen on the video that we showed from the airfield, and yaroshenko was transported to istanbul in shackles with the only set of clothes not suitable for a long flight in the cold season and without sets of documents. and here is what

aleksey tarasov, lawyer and rosenko, tells about the last days before the exchange. he is now in houston, and we contacted him long before our ether. here is a snippet of a conversation with a lawyer. it was indeed a very lengthy process, it was bilateral negotiations at the highest level. as you understand, any negotiations, at the highest level, are information that is not subject to disclosure, but actually, according to konstantin, until the very last moment, there was no 100% certainty, there were no 100% guarantees that this would take place, the us president has, uh, according to constitution uh, the prerogative to either pardon a federal convict or annul his tenure guarded. that is, it was the order of joseph biden. well, now i propose to remember what the american operation to arrest konstantin yaroshenko was like in june 2009 of the

special services. under the guise of a businessman from ireland we contacted a rostov pilot, who used to work as a private trader, by e-mail and by phone. on flights in africa and transported seafood to spain and portugal, and how did they surface later? details it was the same group of american agents who were engaged in advance also by the arrest of viktor bout six months after yaroshenko’s without effective correspondence for negotiations. they make appointments for him in kiev with offers to work in africa, but it’s also not enough that it turns out there was a hidden audio recording of a conversation with a russian pilot, and in may 2010, rosenko was already being lured to monrovia. this is the capital of liberia, where they meet him, as it turned out later, american informants undercover and actually leading the russian intelligence agents. uh, the us intelligence services offer him to translate a certain suspicious cargo to ghana. this is also a country in western africa, but yaroshenko does not have, neither the plane nor

the crew of the russian pilot, even at that time had the resources to organize this flight. as a result, the agents, without waiting for the result of this flight , give the go-ahead to the liberian authorities on the c of the russian, and a few days later, two days later, he is already extradited to the united states in many materials that have appeared over the years in the press, both in the american and in the russian, they are wondering. and why did the americans so persistently develop rostov pilot who was not an unsuccessful aviation businessman or some significant figure in the african aviation business. yes, it was not of particular interest at that time for the american intelligence services, and many had one version . american agents, but it turned out that yaroshenko had not worked with boot for 10 years by that time and in general there was little that he knows and understands, and today's exchange is one

of the notable news and in the american media, our correspondent in new york about how the us authorities commented on these events. extraordinary news so in america there were reports of the exchange of former us marine trevor reed for russian pilot konstantin yaroshenko. this would be an unexpected diplomatic move even in peacetime, writes the cbs channel. but now that , due to the conflict in ukraine, relations between russia and the united states are at their lowest point, such an exchange, in general, it looks like an extraordinary exchange took place in the capital of turkey, ankara, parents. reed still can't believe his luck, he was flown to turkey by plane, then trevor said that an american plane drove up to a russian plane and both prisoners were taken out at the same time, like in the films, and then they flew out of turkey in trevor's family species, who had been in a russian prison since 2019, the

president of the united states personally announced the release of his son later on the white house website published a statement by joe biden, he welcomed reed to his homeland and thanked roger carstonian for his help in the negotiations on the exchange. special envoy of the us president for prison affairs and john sullivan, ambassador of the united states to russia, the negotiations that allowed us to return trevor home required difficult decisions that are not easy for me in the united states . russian businessman viktor bout is currently serving a 25-year sentence in prison in russia on charges of espionage . american half-ilon and potentially news about the exchange. reeds. on yaroshenko may give hope for possible similar exchanges in the future. however, as reported on condition of anonymity. one of the high-ranking american officials was accused as a result of long and very difficult negotiations. the last word, in which the president of the united states had this quote, it was a difficult decision for president president biden, decided to return home an american

whose health began to cause serious concern and , according to the same official, the exchange that took place in no way reflects any . expansion and improvement of diplomatic relations with russia on the website of the us federal bureau of prisons now, if you look for a prisoner named konstantin yaroshenko, a message pops up that the bureau is no longer in charge, however, the date of release to change, either they did not have time, or they forgot, is still june 12, 2027, when konstantin yaroshenko's prison term was supposed to end aleksey veselovsky ntv usa tv company well, here's some more recent news, the plane with yaroshenko flew from turkey to sochi and already met him there wife. and in the state duma committee on international affairs. after the exchange, they said that they hope that this experience will be in demand further, this work will be continued, and they also mentioned viktor bout,

who, as they may recall, is in an american prison. he was detained in thailand in 2008. thank you vladimir kobyakov . yaroshenko in the united states and his return to his homeland, and just now the russian foreign ministry made a statement on this topic in the ministry stressed that the return of konstantin yaroshenko to russia is the result of a long and coordinated work of various russian departments . the foreign ministry also assured russia would make every effort to release all russians imprisoned in the united states. mercenaries from more than fifty countries formed 16 armed forces in ukraine , this was announced following a meeting held in lugansk by the head of the investigative committee of russia alexander bastrykin

this quote, created by the international legion , is part of the territorial defense of ukraine and is on monetary allowance. kiev authorities. the end of quotes in the soviet committee stated that now russian researchers are establishing the personal data of mercenaries in order to bring them to criminal liability, the investigative committee opened a criminal case on the fact of shelling by the ukrainian military of the cities of the luhansk people's republic fierce battles were fought for him. here on monday, it was announced that the city had come under the control of the russian military and units of the lpr. well, the ukrainian military still remained there, they took refuge in a large enterprise, where, like in mariupol, there are underground structures from there. shelling under one of them hit the film crew of our special correspondent anatoly mayorov give the command. let's let them leave now

, don't bunch up, don't bunch up in the sky again ukrainian drone spotter indiscriminately aims artillery at every crowd of people and military and civilian black smoke behind the roofs of houses in residential areas is already his work fresh arrivals. so let's get out of here, even though the boundary lines are completely liberated from our ukrainian formations. ukraine continues to hit the city even after the retreat to rubizhne, as i understand it, mainly from the territory of lisichansk, because the guns that were on the other side of the river, uh, and uh, right at the entrance to lisichanskaya, they lifted up last night and placed . i understand a more convenient place, so that we do not get them in their opinion. and that's basically it today. they shelled the city already

everywhere, in principle, the chechen special forces under the leadership of the assistant to the head of chechnya for the power block are shelling the city, they liberated the city together with the army of lugansk, here is a map in which there is nothing secret now after a quick and morning assault. a scattered group of ukrainian formations retreated in a southeasterly direction to the industrial zone. just like the mariupol scenario, the enemy is again hiding in bomb shelters and can do this for a long time in a frontier bunker under one of the largest facilities of the chemical industry in ukraine at the enterprise, dawn, and we think that in the near future we will vacate this plant and then we will move towards lysichanskaya northern donetsk well, i think not for long remained, and the vocal tasks of all the coming days are checking the urban development of basements where the enemy can hide. and all the apartments, where, disguised as ukrainian soldiers, they can pretend to be civilians of the frontier

movement. cleanup continues houses of all entrances in the liberated areas of rubizhne, soldiers of chechen units enter. each address checks how local such is the presence of the so-called surprises, of course, who are very fond of leaving the ukrainian formations to us. maybe they'll sort things out faster? thank you for our salvation, a large batch of humanitarian aid has already been sent to the city today. yes, the arrival of any convoy behind shelling. this is the highest risk. but now residents of all districts without exception will be able to receive humanitarian aid in the safe area of ​​rubizhne

it will be until the semi-encircled grouping of ukrainian troops within the borders of the north, donetsk, if now he does not stop shooting, in short, this is us on the playground, the cemetery throne flew by and in short, they were covered in ukraine big. greetings for the destruction of their citizens. here are the citizens of ukraine lying anatoly major and anton shcherbakov ntv television company luhansk people's republic russian military launched a new strike with precision weapons on targets in ukraine this is what an official representative of the ministry of defense said igor kvashenkov high-precision sea-based long-range missiles of a caliber on the territory of the zaporozhye aluminum plant destroyed the angara with a large batch of foreign weapons and ammunition supplied by the united states and european countries for ukrainian troops, tactical aviation of the russian aerospace forces hit 59 military facilities of ukraine overnight and today the

russian ministry of defense showed a video camera of the destroyed fortified area of ​​​​the ukrainian military and national formations, the positions were equipped with an extensive network of trenches and firing points. those who did not want to voluntarily lay down their arms were destroyed by artillery fire, it is reported that the retreating ukrainian units left small arms and more than 30 dead in positions among the guns there are republics, both soviet models and modern western ones. in particular, anti-tank guided missiles and portable anti-aircraft missile systems. at basically. uh, for the most part, these soviet weapons are also weapons. like the jivelins. n love well also has a sample of a german -made anti-tank guided missile. soviet missiles of the

export version are also presented, as well as various small arms, also of foreign production. uh, at the moment, most often they bring, as i said earlier. these are anti-tank guided missiles of the countries and nato in total in the armory found about 1,000 weapons. the number is growing the ukrainian military, who have laid down their arms and surrendered, are reportedly treated in accordance with accepted international standards and provided with food. provides medical assistance if necessary. some here are further and even decide to go over to the side of the people's republics in order to fight with weapons in their hands already against the ukrainian troops. ilya useinin. i talked to the prisoners. here they are, who are like and most of their colleagues did not shoot or kill, and generally arrived a week ago and for the first time picked up a weapon, phrase of course , alexander kuryanov, a fighter of the anti-tank unit of the battalion, donbass, needs quotes. simonenko says they

were taken prisoner near maryin, as fierce battles are going on now, commanders, they were thrown out of ammunition, there was no fighting. nobody wanted our business service. we also stole there was no fuel , there was no normal food for us, as expected , food did not reach, but here the prisoner contradicts himself instead of food by his colleague on a regular basis. nazi symbols reached, apparently, they needed them more in the trenches. they even sent this chevrolet index. and such a flag with a swastika was sent by officers of a specially famous battalion. aydar sergey kalinchenko already, apparently, understands that the sly one does not make sense to talk about the case that shook the granite village this spring, the aydar people attacked civilians , simply because they did not like kay. and this is already, as the investigators who are conducting this case, say, the most that is not a war crime of relations between peaceful civilians, some completely

actions of two scouts drunk. uh, shot civilians and one need guardsmen one. uh, and if i'm not mistaken, died, one wounded and alive. this is definitely a nasvardeets. i don’t know what happened to him, it seems that he also survived. they are treated, of course, not with respect, but no violations of international law are allowed . the truth is sure of this, or they say, so for this to the eyes, he wanted to. give them a chance to get busy, but they all live in their own republic, as they want, what's the problem, what's wrong? well, ukraine was whole and that's it. the rest was not necessary it was all my data of the government department of the war. that's 8 years old. well, who is this war for 8 years? not to us, as if not to the inhabitants. eh, i think it was necessary.
