of historical importance. but we have set of issues, goals, and achieve them repeatedly overcoming challenges because we have been together. this is how well, what do you need to our phase in our selves and our capabilities have grown stronger? yes, we still have a lot to work on. what we can rightfully be proud of what we have already accomplished. this is our common heritage. the so reliable foundation for further development than you showed us. we are at the heart of moscow in the red square and yes, while it is close to the public and for security reasons, that did not stop people from coming. now to celebrate then as i'm speaking, there's a huge crowds right next to me enjoying the lights of the city and really enjoy this magical miss here of this a holiday. now, another big spot to celebrate in moscow is that you can hear the tears probably, but another good spot to celebrate the new year in moscow is the how far or again,

a huge, numerous activities would be a waiting people. there likes calls 3rd stairs, then it shows, no, of course what we're talking about russia. that's a big country, which means that there's more than one time zone here. there's a rush. i have 11 time zones talking about the very far as residents in a rough shod that welcome to the new years. some of them are in of illegible stuff . the city of blood people stopped. and wallet is freezing. cold though therapy will still went out to celebrate and embrace the festive spirit of this holiday. again, on top of that, in the city of the codes where it's minus 51 degrees celsius, that did not stop people from going out to celebrate for golf course. at least the weather is perfect, minus 51 degrees celsius. it's wonderful. just what you need to feel the winter,

but i am very happy that i came here. i feel the support from all my friends. this is the best city for celebrating the new year. this is the city that illuminates the 1st christmas tree in our country. this is where our russian winter begins, telling us public gatherings and celebrations were also planned in the city of san petersburg, the 2nd largest city in a rush job, but a part of the palace palace. a square in the city has been secure due to a suspicious object. now, overall, the grandiosity of this holiday is really not a surprise, because if you know anything about ross, i, you would know that the new year is the main celebration in the country where people gather with their friends with their families and their loved ones and share at these the traditional food and exchange gifts, and you can definitely really feel the excitement here. and i would like to take

this opportunity to wish everyone watching and everyone at the headquarters a very happy new year and trying to keep up with santa claus. and the sleigh and traveling around the us are 28000 kilometers per hour. rush on cost more docs also celebrate that the new year aboard the international space station, the waste all the best off estimates to see what see if we sincerely congratulate you from the international space station for the upcoming year 2025 was the last one. we hope that all of you spend the holidays with your family and friends because there's sweetness to leave me a bit of or hundreds of kilometers away from our common home planet earth. and we asked her not to realize there can be a lack of communication with our relatives and friends, but even in space we feel the love and support of our families. although we still have a few months to go before we meet with them again. we wish you peace, prosperity and wellbeing. happy new year is now 2024 was

highlighted with significant defense for the whole world as well. as for russia, including presidential elections and major summit's, the art is married. of course i takes a look at the track record a success, you know, all of the face of the west. once it's once before was the deer that lot of marapoo it's improved once again that he is popular and here to say because landslide victory of 87 percent. and the presidential elections, which coincided with the 10th anniversary of the crime is where you are. and if occasion with vasa was a tough pill for the west to swallow. the of course it was right. what else can they say if the results don't match the narrative, they're selling to the masses. so they start justifying their warped perception by

focusing on the lack of credible opponents all the while. i'm to find the voice of the minority who wants to the different candidates when he had been the only serious. com to this. now how's the system and office offer lum slide 87 percent of the vote. so that was defiance in the form of large cues, some posting stations in russia. heating the cool of allies of the late opposition lead to elect, seen the fall, and the polling stations are being set on fire. while ballot boxes are being filled with green di signs of anger as an intellectual system. that is need the free no fair. remember that women in line said, you know why we're here. they were here. yeah, we supporting, you know, the into the call by and if i need to do that, they think that if i call vladimir or puts in a dictate or enough times and question, the legality of the elections that eventually people will believe it. that's the slides overall,

an evidence showing that the majority of russians actually support his decisions and so called all 3rd terry and hold on power. it is a completely unique result for president putin, such a high level of public support means absolute victory for a candidate. and of course, it's the most eloquent confirmation of the support the people of our country have for the president and consolidation around his power off the west was banking on the russians, turned in on vladimir puts, in primarily because of the conflict with ukraine. no one likes confrontation and no one likes to see their countrymen die. but as the kid regime snatches people up the streets and sends them into battle rations of bolan's hearing to go fight. hundreds of thousands have signed contracts so far. and that number keeps growing. lou just but you might possessions almost as jameson. people understand what we are fighting for. they help the frontline soldiers every day, more than

a 1000 people signed contracts to join the military. social guarantees for these people should be strengthened. the mortgage system demonstrates high efficiency. last year, over 300000 of our man came to sign contracts this year. it's already over 430000. and this flow is not stopping. so thanks to such a popular aptitude, we are seeing breakthroughs on the frontlines, the west hope that the special minutes operates on what they come to within staff wards. but it didn't work wise with their sanctions. they wanted to make the russian people, i agree in a poor enough to revolt, but nothing unites russians more than the was trying to bring them to their knees. and as a result, russia has a much stronger than ever before. the economy survive. the initial assault from the extreme sciences imposed since once it's once you to just the european countries struggling now. sufferings from the

boomerang effects also axes so much for all their forecasts. now here's a little reminder. the world bind estimated the rustles dd people tank by 11.2 percent by the end of 2020 to the end result just 2 point one percent in 2023. the russian economy was supposed to grow by a meager 0.3 percent. so quarter into the i mass, the reality 3.6 percent by the end of the year that had to revise their pessimist, the forecast for 2024 projecting even higher economic growth. the european commission has also operated the outlook only also stated p growth from 2.9 percent to 3.5 percent. it's one say 24 with more growth expected as the common years. what's more, russia has seen a record low unemployment rate of 2.3 percent. that was dreamed of russell strategic defense until they will face with the stark reality that the country is

literally not collapsing for growing with them got doing this year according to calculations by our own and international experts, the euro zones, economic growth would be somewhere around one percent. russia's economic growth last year was 3.6 percent. this year. it would be around 4 percent. talk about robin, but it's all true. look at the numbers, they speak for themselves. and it's very clear that the west underestimated latimer boots and, and the importers of the russian market for europe. and the colonies says, only a quarter of western companies actually left the country. and russia is in strapped for cash either. it's actually helping out others by launching a financial support fund for investment projects in africa in 2025. so the 2 know, $2000000000.00 minimum, which brings us to the next points. all these it says

m c or longer and actually push slusher to become better by expanding. and so that define is friendships with all the partners around the world who are very eager to do business with moscow and reshape a global power dynamics. something was became crystal clear from russia, a host of the 16th brick summit. the the, the west basically pushed suassa and the global south into each other's arms. and

they are now focused on building a union reflecting the new reality of a multi paula world, which doesn't mix business with politics, something which became evident when you cry and tried to get an international financial watch, though, so blacklist russia only to be met with objections from briggs powerhouses like china in the south africa and even the persian gulf warner takes all of this shows us a once again that the west quest to defeat russia and stay on top is looking more, more like mission impossible. and to africa now, where nations i jumping on the bandwagon to kick french troops off the continent this year, ivory coast announced on choose day. the french forces are packing up and shipping out of the west by isaac, a nation. continuing, the former colonial powers military exits from the region. my sab, concepcion, my dear compatriots, we can be proud of our ami,

whose modernization is now effective. it is in this context that we have decided on the concerted and organized withdrawal of french forces from code want to 40, so it'd be ma camp, the marine infantry battalion and pulled away will be headed back to the code. it was forces in january, 2025 to mock this new stage and the life of the army said, mike, what i can tell you is that this isn't just a political move. it's a declaration of independence, that it isn't an isolated event. it's part of a poor, the movement sweeping across the african continent. as with no, of course it is a decision that has rocked the geo political stage signaling a shift to that is impossible to go. we've seen it happen throughout the year of 2024. we might be between a foss, sony. she have also asked for us to do the same in their respective countries, and very recently sold chad as cynical following suit ad synagogue. the citizens have repeatedly demanded that the authorities review military agreements with frost

synagogues. these lead is as well open to the voice of dissatisfaction with france submitted for your presence on the country. have listened to this god as it is uh, i have already instructed the minister of the armed forces to propose a new doctrine for cooperation in defense and security matters which will involve among other things ending all 4 and military presence in senegal from 20 to 25, my dear compatriots, let us take the time to look at ourselves in the mirror of our history and our values to remind ourselves of who we are and where we come from. even in chat, the need is all you that it was time for the nation to assert its full sovereignty . even going as far as describing the agreement as no longer aligned with the political added to your strategic realities of the car in time, us will see that the disagreement has become obsolete completely obsolete. it no longer corresponded to the security geo political and strategic realities of our time,

nor to our legitimate expectations regarding the full expression of our sovereignty . in the same way, it does not bring us any real added value on the military ground, where we face alone varied in serious challenges including terrorist attacks. the french military presence in chad is not based on a reciprocal basis. chad must no longer accept from others. what is not accepted by these others? this is the sacred principle of reciprocity. we've seen phones blaming mother who lives in the zip for this as a well, just saying that this solid base is off because of russia. but at this moment that hasn't been any word from tyra's. i'm the father of the supervisor. the decision to remove france is when you mental, not just the library close, but also for the african continent as a whole. but she's what french president has said. something to speak,

our role is changing in africa, but this is what we want it because the world is changing in africa because public opinions are changing because governments are changing because we decided in a sovereign way in february 2023 after several years of progressive change well to rebuild a partnership. and so it is the strength of our armies to think about this and change our old habits. our group is changing with the world, and that's a good thing. again, this symbolizes a consummate, that is titled being seen, the length of dependency and the data from a quantum into that inside of being told how to golf in a fees and the confidence that inside the apartment influence that often prioritizes its own instance. and muscles of the african people, as we can see, the way this amazing explosive collapse now as to west prox, down on any media that god forbid, gives

a russian perspective or doesn't told the liberal lines. according to the ceo of telegram people living in russia actually have the most freedom access to certain russian media has been restricted in the e u under d. a say, sanctions laws. meanwhile, all wester, media telegram channels remain freely accessible in russia. who would have thought that in 2025 russian telegram users would enjoy more freedom than european the annual band. this very networked our to international as well as russia's china, one television and the news agency re, i know both states. now that move reflects the use ongoing suppression of diverse narrative that needs intolerance towards the ross and perspectives demonstrating its inclination to control the information rather than the whole. the freedom of speech. moscow said that the use actions will not go on onset and it will turn to international organizations for an adequate response. now we have heard from greg

simonian is an independent political research ebay. he's been sweden and he said that europe resorts to satisfy ship because it's losing the information roy for to, to the fun. so the rules based all the by like their own rules. and the only reason they will be doing this is because of losing the of somebody was so the tri state of the information so that it receives those very cheap and not very incredible wisdom and propaganda of it. because the communication is coming from the globe themselves, including russia, a just to pretty much the handle of the gulf is ridiculous. speak with one voice, which is or well in the south end. but they just repeat the same time they are. so we made of wood, they resort the same so sure,

and it states the ship is the very last resort to do when everything else has filed. and of course the sales, the ship itself will ultimately file. well, the reason is you said. busy less credible as the and people can get around these things. and to the front lines. now, the key of didn't consider the new year celebration is the reason to stop attacking russian civilians as just minutes after the clock struck midnight. you crave shout rushes across the region on new year's eve. ukraine shall be done by supplement of regardless guy. but that actually didn't stop people there from enjoying the holiday. are these roman close are have was that to help bring joy to the local kids that that was made in the way that we will hold our annual last piece. the christmas feast for the kids here for the year and the front line that

were there this every year with kids presence exactly what they have for services is one of the most effective sounds people's roles are flying in terms of the time, but we're lucky today because it's on the roof, feel a lot safer. time very arrives at our destination. this is one of the schools here in gore, lift. the kids will be arriving very soon. right now it's time to load everything that we brush or 1st of all, the fall, the full suit, it's over here and a lot of presence, of course, which will take to the school. and apparently the kids have prepared a concert for me and we'll take a look at how that goes. the

sofa and hers is 1st of course all last 10 years i've changed at least 2 or 3 differences because of the places we usually visit are right on the front line. so obviously, sense as a father for us is, gets dirty and sometimes impossible to fix the new ones. so right now the kids are waiting for us outside and they sit questions on and congratulate them on christmas new year. of course, try to get dressed, look away the,

like i said, we've been doing this for the last 10 years. even presence to children often as

people's republic. on the front line. it's every time it's emotional. when he see these kids who still believe in magic, they believe and father false or santa claus depending where am you're from and wants to receive the presence of the asked for in a letter there she's changes drastically and to the happen is on their face and the faces of the parents that were here and it gives me particular a charge for the rest of the year because of all the kind this notice come around to remind people that live under constant shitting my brain in military it's certainly a very, a valuable list camaraderie right here in portland, in any case we will continue doing this for as long as needed because

each year i hope it's the last time we're doing this and the conflict vote and and the school will be able to organize these forties by, by themselves without the need over moscow, santa claus, or must go find it for us. but of course my team and i will be doing this for as long as it is. and it will be bringing the happiness and the police and magic for the kids of this year on the front line. right, le, claim call a just 5 minutes. and while the choose be down, washington has slumped. new sanctions on the random and russia suggesting it defended the us election of us drives the reset of the pair of nations launched, quote, this information campaigns and without proving any of those as usual, the governments of iran and russia have targeted our election processes and institutions and sought to divide the american people through targeted this

information campaigns. the united states will remain vigilant against adversaries who would undermine our democracy. uncle sam has sent in new years here to iran and russia, but it's not the one they would welcome. on the eve of the holiday season in the us treasury department, and i was fresh sanctions target each one and moscow, alleging their involvement in influencing this 2024 us selection that moves targets a subsidiary of as long as as long triple ocean bar score. and then moscow base affiliates off the russian main intelligence directory, known as the wes surgery, claims that these organizations work, of course engaged in a dis, information campaigns and that so in this course, come on the american electro right. so the new sanctions would freeze any assets of the targeted groups and individuals may have in the west. and they also prevent us

based entities from doing business with them. as we read the statement published on a fax official website, it initially appears to present an authentic accounts of alleged interference by russia. i do want in american democratic processes. however, as we take a closer look, it turns out to be a lengthy accusation letter of the blacks concrete evidence to substantiate these claims to be with. how does that habit of using these fancy allegations of course, interpretations as an excuse to throw sanctions parties for countries like restaurants and of course one and this time to the statement twice to paint a menacing picture of a ron and russia. suggesting that these 2 nations could have played a part in the outcome of the recent us selection and from pointing fingers adds up to one to the keys in even our t upswing. american choices the list goes on. the even bus house, the big guns,

talking deep fakes duplicating room in some a i generated videos with the aims of breaking down the foundation of american democracy all without song as evidence to back it up if you're wanting. and russian officials of course, have yet to formerly respond to these latest allegations where they have previously dismissed, similar claims as politically motivated. both countries have underscored that the west is using these accusations as a smoke screen to distract from its own mask. back home, critics argue that the west is resorting to these obligations to justify additional economic pressure on both nations. when we have heard at the tone of such tales about the rushes, imagine metal and gives us selections. recently, washington seems to have a new found fascination with safe coding. it was these endless conspiracy theories we already or heard conflicting stories from the by did administration about that,

ron pulling the swings in that we send to the stuff the nation plots against from all the way to claims of the country's efforts to manipulate the water. so petty and i guess both candidates putting all these pieces together, it appears that the outgoing us administration is looking to take it out on suck water for why americans have decided not to re elect biden for a 2nd, sir. but of course, it's too late for blame game but against all odds, we'll keep b r t questioning more. i start with all the international for all the latest from around the world. us new again, the .
