it turns out the level of training of the fighters was not prepared. just hit two soldiers in the whole treatment in captivity under all provisions of the geneva convention. including them, if necessary, russian military surgeons provide medical care after the fakes of ukrainian propaganda. such treatment of soldiers is surprising. she's her tv. you understand what they tell us on tv. that's why i was surprised that when they were taken prisoner, they didn't talk, and in the cities that came under the control of the lpr, investigators continue to work. in the village of three huts. we managed to find the headquarters of the ukrainian mortarmen and all the documentation, the names and surnames of the commanders and fighters that fired on residential buildings, these papers, now will help the investigation in the case, and in war crimes, aleksey is a head. the railway bridge in

the kursk region was damaged as a result of an explosion , they plan to restore it by this wednesday, the administration of the region reported. i remind you that after the incident, the investigative committee. a criminal case was opened under the article of a terrorist act, persons who could be involved are being established. well, the repair has already begun from the kursk region alla yermolina after the completion of the work of the investigation teams, the restoration of the damaged bridge began overnight the railroad workers cleared the place of damage , dismantled the rails, the sleeper grid, and began preparations for the installation of a new superstructure. after that, a new railway track will be laid on the spot, a recovery train is operating from the kursk station, the track machine station and about 100 people, the situation did not affect the movement of trains. the task is to restore traffic on this section as quickly as possible, so the work is being carried out around the clock. it was a diversion. a criminal case has been opened and investigating authorities specialists

law enforcement agencies will be sorted out according to the investigation on the construction of the railway bridge was laid and carried out. as a result of the operation of the explosive device, the power and type of the explosive device are established and the persons involved in this crime are prosecuted on the grounds of a crime under article 205 of the criminal code of the russian federation terrorist act, sudzhansky district, kursk region, where the state of emergency occurred borders with ukraine, let me remind you that in the region since april 11, it has been in force yellow high level of terrorist threat but lermolin is news, kursk russia does not demand that zelensky surrender our demands that the president of ukraine give an order to me, estonia will stop resistance and release all civilian hostages, sergei lavrov said in an interview with an italian television media set according to the minister of foreign affairs of the ukrainian nazification it is already underway not the first year, but the leading role in this process is played by the united states and canada, their main goal

is to have ultra-ratical units merge into regular armed forces forces of ukraine indicative in this regard is the reaction of the kiev authorities to the events around the plant. azov steel. there, together with ukrainian non-nazis , western mercenaries can hide the situation with the confrontation at the azovstal plant in mariupol and zelensky’s stubborn, downright hysterical desire of his team and his western patrons to achieve the withdrawal of all these people and, uh, sending them to the territory of ukraine, it is explained, in my opinion, by , that there are a lot, but characters who will confirm the presence of mercenaries. yes, maybe acting officers of the western army on the side of the ukrainian radicals. lavrov also commented on the reaction of some european

politicians to moscow's demands to pay for gas in rubles. according to the minister , nothing actually changes for foreign buyers of our fuel, they still pay the amount indicated in the contracts in euros and dollars, only after that the conversion takes place. in rubles, the goal of the new payment scheme was emphasized by the head of our species to insure russian funds against dishonest actions western partners. a very simple thing is happening here, oh, which for some reason, critics of our actions, all who condemn us have stockpiled in recent days, do not want to talk. they stole more than 300 billion euros from us, they simply took and stole most of this amount received for the supply of gas and oil, and gazprom was forced to keep this money, according to your rules, in its accounts in western banks. now we have proposed that the deliveries should be considered paid for. euros or

dollars will never arrive at gazprombank. and when will they be converted into rubles, which can no longer be stolen. and an extraordinary meeting of eu energy ministers just ended in brussels, at which they discussed how to pay for russian gas, the participants agreed that they would adhere to a single position, which the european commission announced, paying for gas in rubles would be considered a violation of sanctions, although italy at the meeting urged to agree with moscow's demands to allow european companies pay in rubles. at least temporarily, that without russian gas, everything in europe is threatened by a huge energy crisis said greece a. germany admitted that the gas embargo would harm berlin more than moscow against this background, only poland, which had already turned off gas for non-payment, demanded new sanctions against russia, although everyone who gathered understood the price of this statement. poland continues to receive the same russian gas in reverse from

germany apparently, so that these schemes do not fail and washington's allies do not remain without gas, the us treasury today allowed transactions involving gazprom germany until september 30, but even despite it is becoming more and more difficult for european politicians to convince each other and the population of their countries of the need to intensify confrontation against such legal loopholes. anastasia popova reports with moscow a list of ukrainian enemies. today, one more figure has been added to the website’s database peacekeeper has been added to the hungarian prime minister viktor urban declared an anti-ukrainian propagandist for refusing to allow weapons for kiev to pass through the country’s territory. remains unchanged we have made it clear that we never support extending

european union sanctions against russia to energy, in addition to hungary nine other european countries buy russian gas and oil, but their leaders want to look good and just do not speak honestly about it with their own people in the eu is afraid of budapest's veto, and therefore, according to sources, the new package of sanctions under development may contain a clause allowing hungary and slovakia not to join the oil imbargo to refuse from this type of fuel in stages over a long transition period, but the refusal to buy russian oil carries risks and for countries ready to support the restrictions, the german handel, splat considers this an experiment with unpredictable consequences leading to higher prices and interruptions in supply, alternative suppliers cannot to offer the same quality indicates the publication of the minister of economics of germany carefully prepare people for difficult times. we cannot guarantee uninterrupted deliveries. of course , there will be a shortage, prices will rise, but germany can

withstand the oil embargo true for everything, this will not pass without a trace until the end of summer the eu will stop importing russian coal before the end of the year should abandon oil, assures chancellor u levsholz. we are implementing a very ambitious policy. to reduce dependence on imports of fossil fuels from russia this summer, we will stop importing russian coal until the end of the year russian oil, as well as sharply reduce gas imports from russia, but for now europe is only increasing purchases, which, however, does not cancel the upcoming problems, for example, for bavaria the chemical industry, there are residential buildings, and in the winter you run the risk of being left without fuel and heat at all, serving their haidah storage. in austria, it belonged to gazprom, which fell under sanctions, and now it is almost empty to fill it with no one at the schulz stands. in düsseldorf, he tried to convince the germans that what was more important now was not to send heavy weapons to ukraine. he barely shouted over the disgruntled crowd, which tried to

drown out his words with whistles and the sounds of sirens. eternity such respect any manifestation of pacifism and any position, but it is cynical if we tell the ukrainians that they must defend themselves without weapons, the warmonger, the warmonger are unhappy with schulz and in kiev, foreign minister kuleba calls germany one of the most clumsy in europe , firstly in removing obstacles, as for supplies of all the weapons that ukraine needs secondly on the issue of sanctions against russia thirdly on granting the status of a candidate for ukraine's accession to the eu unfortunately, germany is one of the most indecisive eu countries on most issues, the ukrainian ambassador to germany adds that the amount of financial and military assistance provided by berlin to schulz's policy is too small. he is called sluggish, and his fear of being drawn into a conflict full of nonsense readers, newspapers, bild began to get tired of this, in my opinion, his demeanor, choice of words and

ingratitude with constant demands. blackmail is unbearable, when at last this blackmailer will be expelled from germany, in the meantime, they tried to expel the head of the german foreign ministry a to lena berburg with speaking about ukraine, she said that the sanctions would be lifted only after the withdrawal of russian troops and stressed that peace on russia's terms would be an invitation to the next war, speaking from the podium. she began to argue in favor of the supply of heavy weapons. everything was heard in response to kiev, that living siren whistle and cries of the war-monger vunia. anti-war demonstrations were held in dresden and düsseldorf for the mutual understanding of peoples and peace, and therefore against the supply of weapons and discrimination against the russian-speaking population do not agree with the pumping of ukraine with weapons and the inhabitants of berlin i do not agree that so many billions are spent on weapons weapons should be put to an end in

italy hundreds of people opposed the militarization of the budget, which drags almost a third of the country's population into poverty is absurd for us, that parliament and government. agreed to increase the military budget war is not a tool for the development and reconstruction of the country in france, interruptions in butter, flour, eggs, in addition to disrupted supply chains for expensive fuels in the country are raging bird fungus. i had to destroy 16 million chickens, prices for raw materials and packaging are rising and inflation is creeping up. the french rebelled against the macron's domestic policy during may day demonstrations across the country. about 200,000 people came out, according to the organizers, a little more than 100,000 according to the versions of the vd in paris, on the streets again barricades clouded the sky with black smoke, set fire to garbage cans and boards attacked firefighters who tried to extinguish it all

smashed shop windows and macron restaurants, meanwhile advocates new sanctions that could directly hit the french wallet and sends his minister. to brussels we see that russia completely unilaterally abruptly cut off gas supplies to poland and bulgaria because they refused to pay for contracts in rubles, because it went against the contract agreed during today's negotiations. in brussels, we intend to express solidarity with our european colleagues, and also recall the rules of the contract, which cannot be violated just like that, we will continue to pay in euros or dollars in accordance with the contracts. however, the eu recognized that payment in rubles is not a violation of sanctions, some countries have already switched to such a system, cutting off bulgaria and poland from gas. it forced european ministers to gather for an emergency meeting in brussels to think about how to proceed, it is obvious that now europe will try to switch to a common one. realized purchases general storage and distribution of fuel within the eu

the goal is to reduce by 2/3 depending on russian gas by the end of this year in parallel with this , training of military muscles began on the eastern border of nato 18,000 people from 20 countries, including france sweden germany great britain takes part in the largest military exercises on the territory of nine european countries at once the us command and control maneuvers will last almost a month until may 27 anastasia popova la vernadsky on koshkina to lead brussels belgium norway in support of the next package of eu sanctions with respect to russia, closed the only checkpoint on the border for our trucks. in addition, this week the ban on entry into norwegian ports of all russian ships, with the exception of fishing restrictions, will not affect only the svalbard archipelago, which has a special status and its borders are open to russia, such risks entail a transport blockade

imposed by a donkey and why such measures are not beneficial , first of all, to scandinavia itself about this from the murmansk region, a report and mud. chemistry wood fertilizer even empty bottles of russian production are now non-grata goods in scandinavia, although a week ago they were brought here by trucks high quality and relatively low. the price made our products desirable for europeans. now almost all goods of russian origin are prohibited from being transported across the border. despite the fact that many of the most important resources our neighbors have so far imported from us, the only border checkpoint between russia, norway, is called tour in norwegian. how much what translates as a big forest after after the introduction of the first packages of anti-russian sanctions, it became very popular every day, up to 40 trucks crossed the border, transporting russian goods, in the first place. there are simply no sawn timber at home and even chopped firewood from their own forest in the kingdom, apparently, now our

neighbors will have to rename the checkpoint, because the russian forest. they will no longer see the driver from st. petersburg . eugene is just returning from wasps. hovering before the fifth package of sanctions, the norwegians began to buy our goods many times more. now on one of passes accumulated a line of almost thirty russian trucks empty bottle. that's personally, that i drove these metal at home. norway, what else is plywood from our russian enterprises from all over russia and boards, building materials, basically another aspect of the anti-russian package. as far as our ships are concerned, they are forbidden to enter norwegian ports. an exception is made only for fishermen. since fishing vessels are not subject to the ban on entering the port, the purpose of entering the port will not be significant. this means that russian fishing vessels, for example, can leave at the shipyards, provided that no other sanctions are applied, sanctions directed directly against

russian fishermen, if any, will be especially painful for the kingdom of norway. it runs the risk of losing tens, millions, of euros annually, because today the income of almost all the northern towns of the country depends on russian companies. there are 62 firms in the union alone, the fishermen of the north. and this is over a hundred ships. these are warehouses. this is a transshipment. this is , let's say, probably, some kind of processing of these replenishment of fuel plus e supply. well, that is, i i think that these are tens of hundreds of millions, weights of crowns - this is, let's say, the amount that norway receives from the russian gods, businessmen. i remind you that in the conditions of cooperation between countries, the one who has the highest added value for production always loses more, that is, the sanctions imposed will hit their authors more painfully than russia, and reacts anton klimovsky dmitry kvasnyuki. lena vorontsova and alexander beryozkina news from the murmansk region.

the last two weeks have tripled the flow of people on the border of belarus with latvia, and lithuania in in contrast to riga and vilnius, which tightly closed their borders, minsk introduced visa-free entry into its territory for residents of the baltic states for a whole month until may 15. for many, this is an opportunity to visit relatives on may holidays to visit the graves of loved ones. well, in addition, together celebrate victory day, which is prohibited on the other side of the border from belarus , anastasia sakhovskaya. these queues at the border are only a joy, because they are waiting for an early meeting. the inteevs have not seen their relatives for 3 years. missed to tears for us it is very important, because after all, native people divided us in such a way, well, in the wrong way. i believe here and of course we gladly took advantage of the opportunity provided. i would like to be able to get to russia through belarus because i have a great-grandmother. oh my grandmother lives in the suburbs 98 years divided

thousands of families. in the border area, almost everyone lives in two countries. elena with three children goes to the village of varnyan, and 50 km from vilnius, but formally belarusian, dalnyaya relatives and the basis for a visa. no, younger four. uh, he has a godmother. mom hasn’t really seen him there in these two and a half years, they are waiting, they are waiting. there are already so many posts. well, well, well, well , they passed, well, as all the cars go through the red corridor full of trunks of gifts, so the inspection is a little longer and already ai is good, according to the border guards, the flow has tripled, but it takes only a few minutes for passport control and a minimum of documents a foreigner needs to present, indeed a negative pcr test document, or a certificate of vaccination at the site from the smorgon border group crossed the order four and a half thousand e foreign citizens in a visa-free manner, and in just 2 weeks without a visa. this is the most recent data of the state border committee about 11,000 2/3 citizens and non-citizens of latvia, despite the fact

that these countries themselves locked their doors tightly and simply stopped issuing visas to belarusians for people. the best answer to this is a policy of open barriers for the first time in a long time in the movement. it doesn’t stop here almost around the clock, they drive from the very early morning until late in the evening, especially a lot of cars on the eve of a long weekend and holidays and three-quarters of people enjoy the right to visa-free entry as a gift for religious holidays, which are customary to spend with the family on may weekends, victory day also falls on the visa-free period. in the baltics, the lithuanian authorities are generally terribly afraid of openness , the state security department seriously dissuades citizens from traveling, scaring the belarusian special services with recruitment, and relatives are almost collapsing at the border and they are already preparing guards there, but so they thought that quickly, how does it say how long will we go? well, it seems that the border passes successfully. iosif zenkevich is a native belarusian and receives a visa on favorable

terms. but to make documents for his wife is time and money. we need an invitation for another 35, insurance. yes , fear, and so it will still be 100 euros , they were ready to pay as much as they wanted, but the cancellation of vis, a long-awaited meeting, is priceless. a festive table is ahead. it is necessary to have time to talk a lot in a few years in belarus is open until mid-may anastasia sakhovskaya alexandra aleksandrovichsky vester republic of belarus yerevan today was engulfed in protests by protesters who demanded the resignation of the government. they erected a barricade in the city center , set up tents from garbage containers and blocked three dozen intersections, in order to restore traffic, the police had to intervene. by the second half of the day, she managed to unblock all the streets, more than
