in the kremlin, a meeting of the board of the ministry of defense , a visit to the instrument design bureau in tula, a meeting with the leaders of the military-industrial complex, and that's not all, this week there was a lot of talk about young citizens. vladimir putin traditionally took part in a charity event. the wish tree discussed new youth projects at a meeting of the state council, after which he spoke to reporters, as putin said. answering a question about the main results of the year, there are no ideal situations, but russia has passed this year quite confidently and the situation that formed today will not prevent us from implementing our plans for the future. good evening. but now, for the first time, we are on the air with an exclusive interview of the president, recorded hot on the heels of a press conference, we are watching the ukrainian people as a fraternal people, and now it has become clear that we will not be given any chance to restore relations. at first

they got used to stealing other countries. they are trying to do this even now, and our goal is to unite the russian people, no one wants the unification of the russian people, except us. and we we will do it and thank you, with the upcoming all the best. thank you putin talked with journalists for almost an hour, but the past year was such that there are hundreds of important topics. hello to you. a lot of questions have already been asked there, but two more are possible following the results of the president’s exclusive interview in the next few minutes. but first, it is important to remember the context, broader and deeper, because of which the questions for this interview were born at a press conference at the board. defense ministry putin in detail. he told why the conflict between russia and ukraine was inevitable, despite the desire to quickly and dialogue over many decades. i want to

emphasize this for a decade, attempts have been made to build relations in new geopolitical conditions. well, that's all, they did it and gave loans, it has been supplying almost free energy resources for years, nothing worked. just nothing, but there is nothing to reproach us for, he says, absolutely responsibly. we have always read the ukrainian people as a brotherly people. and now then what happens. this is, of course, a tragedy, our common tragedy, but it is not the result of our policy is the result of the policy of other countries of third countries, which have always strived for this, the disintegration of the russian world to a certain extent, and have not succeeded and pushed us to the line we found ourselves in, well, back in soviet times. whole institutes worked in ukraine. they gave excellent reports on the history of this issue in the state. they've been doing this for a long time. yes, well, they always dreamed about it and always did it, they tried to divide us, and then

separate parts are led by a country that is too big, as it seems to them, representing a threat to someone. therefore, it needs to be tweaked a little to break the centuries. wherever you look , such a goal has always tried, and for our part, we almost always wanted to be part of this so-called civilized world. and now, after the collapse of the soviet union, which we allowed with our own hands. for some reason it seemed to us that from day to day we would become part of this so-called civilized world. and as it turned out we were not expected there, despite all our efforts and attempts. i also made these attempts. uh, our attempts to get closer to become this part, no no, on the contrary, other actions were taken by russia to pull apart and the newly created russian federation further began to use everything that is bad for their own purposes, they began to engage in brainwashing in

the countries of the post-soviet space, and above all in ukraine, the enemy worked very hard and must be given credit effectively. first, uh, they pulled us apart, divided us, and then they built us in this sense, they achieved results unconditionally. we are in this sense failed in a famous fiasco. they didn’t leave anything else, maybe on purpose, too, and pushed us to some line, well, there was nowhere else to retreat. this is where the problem is. we endured and endured and did not hope for peace agreements. such now it turns out that we just have in the department. that is, we were given to understand that no pro-russian forces that somehow raised their voice in favor of developing relations with russia simply killed them in the street. and no one investigated anything clearly. that there is no chance to restore relations with this part our former common country will not be given to us, it is simply impossible that the practice of terror was used shamelessly and impudence became obvious even then that a clash with these forces

was inevitable, the only question was when this would happen, of course, hostilities. it is always associated with the tragedy of the loss of people , we are aware of this, but since it is inevitably better today. why tomorrow they began to suppress both russian culture and the russian language and divide our spiritual society, and in completely barbaric ways, he says, that no one notices. and why? and, because no one wants to unite the russian people of disunity, please, they will be happy to shred it further, but no one wants to unite and strengthen, except us. and we will do it and we will do it. finish the assembly shops of the instrument design bureau in tula, and dozens of the best factories throughout the country provide the combat capabilities of the armed forces are constantly increasing and every day, and

this process, of course, we will build up real combat experience allows you to quickly improving the characteristics of technology has been a practice for a long time, including the use of our weapons in the fight against gangs of interests in syria. and in ukraine, the combat capabilities of nato are presented and that's it. this should be carefully analyzed and such an analysis will benefit the russian armed forces. the fighters. everything should be better any obsolete instructions should be reverted quickly. we have no funding restrictions, the country, the government give everything that the army asks for all ukrainian vcs, if not completely reset then rapidly moving towards this own base will soon be gone. and in our country it is only growing; soon they will have nothing at all. everything will be only in the form of giving and money and weapons and ammunition, only handouts in russia are completely different. everything is different. we have developed our industry over the past decades.

we have developed our military science and technology. we are still missing something. we see the ammo fermenting. there are drones and so on, but we have groundwork, we know who can do how much and when we have our own financial resources to ensure the work of scientific technological centers and the production itself. we have it, but there are issues related to increasing the pace and volume. we are able to do this and we will definitely do it on our own. actually , i want this scientific technological production and personnel base without damage. for the development of the economy and the social sphere, we will not be engaged in the militarization of the country and the militarization of the economy, first of all, because the achieved level of development of the structures economics does not require it. we simply don’t need to go into combat service from frigate gorshkov and and there new

weapons systems are already appearing. we are not going to arrange any provocations. but still, this is a factor of strengthening our actual strategic forces. as for the patriots and rather old systems. we'll just keep it in mind and the antidote will always be found. let them put it. we click peter based on your words. today, yesterday, on a colleague of the ministry of defense, it turns out that we are already at war as a completely nato bloc continues. it large-scale, pumping weapons of ukraine , these new american air defense systems are not, which, as you said, we went. well, in short , went if 100%. are we approaching some absolutely dangerous critical devil, how to retreat from it? who and what should do this? we uh did. this is from 2014 . we have always strived to ensure that all disputes arise. uh, they were resolved by peaceful means through negotiations, but unfortunately, the opposite side was set up differently. uh, started, as i have many times

spoke. we all know how to carry out this, there are tough actions of a military nature. one way or another, we were forced to stand up for the people who live in these territories. we had to support the choice. crimeans. everything started to follow, it all started with this, but we didn’t arrange a state transfer in ukraine. they started it, actually. at the heart of everything is the policy of our geopolitical opponents aimed at parting russia, historical russia to divide and rule. they always try to do it. uh, they're trying do it now, yeah, in another in the association of the russian people. still, they did it in order to retreat from this danger. well, i don't think it's that dangerous anymore. i believe that we are moving in the right direction. we are protecting our national interests. the interests of our citizens, our people, i repeat, once again, there is no other choice but to

protect. ah, our citizens. well, we just don't have it, but we are ready to negotiate with all the participants in this process some acceptable solutions, but that's their business. not we refuse to negotiate. and they are a fiasco in relations with ukraine. couldn't we and shouldn't have behaved as cynically and pointedly as the west, couldn't we have a different philosophy, a different attitude to life and to people. now, if you look at those people who were deeply immersed in moral values, yes, the eastern christianity of the western christianity of islam, then they always said that we have different approaches. in general, there, rather, the approach and definition of life is success in the material part, while in our spiritual maybe the last question. over these months, of course, we have witnessed a variety of incredible courageous deeds, like the guy who had ammunition dropped from a drone, and he threw it away from himself, like

those people who had absolutely no military professions, but went there to the special operation zone , like the same archpriest mikhail vasilyev whom you awarded with the star of the hero. something has become for you during these months of revelation in the behavior of our people, something has surprised you. maybe, maybe something unpleasantly surprised in the behavior of some people there is nothing surprising in terms of the fact that someone did not behave like true patriots. no, because in any society there are always people who, first of all, think about their personal interests, some salts of personal plans. to be honest, i don’t particularly like them and that every person has the right to choose, but as for the main part, 99. tenth percent of our citizens are our people who are ready to put everything in the interests of the motherland here for me. eh, as if there is nothing unusual, but it just once again convinces me that that russia is a special side and, uh,

special people live here. this has been confirmed throughout the history of russia's existence, and today , once again, the whole country is looking at the armed forces and wishes them success. good luck, we have no doubt in achieving all the results, all the goals that we set for ourselves will certainly be achieved. this is the strongest guys. here they are ahead, and of course, they are the heroes of a deep conviction imagine it. well, we are with you. in this hall, the lights are warm for us, the guys are out there in the snow. you know, under fire hit and so on. well, of course, they are all heroes - this is a colossal work. associated with danger to health and life, and, of course, the new year's eve ceremony of presenting state awards is primarily dedicated to the heroes of the special operation

. and that's all, this is russia in this power . he is only 26 years old stepan belov heroes of the russian federation in his poems alexander tvardovsky said there are no heroes from birth, they are born in battles. we are russians. we are the descendants of the great ancestors of the winners, which means victory will be ours, destroyed 16 tanks four infantry fighting vehicles armored personnel carriers the president took aside the heroes of russia long conversations without a camera today's situation of responsibility

for a peaceful sky overhead he and his comrades will fight on and will fight on for a just cause for a bright future for our brothers who are simply on this and on the other side of the barricades not all of our someone is confused. rather , someone was misled. moreover, this was done for many years by the president attaching the star of the hero to his uniform somehow especially carefully, and therefore such a moment occurred.

aside that the people in the hall raised their thumbs , work brothers, because our business enemy will be defeated, victory will be ours. work, you remember who said, of course, i remember that the hero of the russian federation magomed nurbagandov said in the kingdom of heaven a worthy representative of the dagestan people, glory to the special forces, the death of terrorism. i serve russia for the service of russia

margarita simonyan all the time what is called a journalist rinse in the western media. now it may be neutral in your opinion. i do n't care. what should be a journalist. i'm in first of all a citizen of her country. e of this, well, not even in the third, probably necessary, because i'm also a mother. well, i have other responsibilities. i serve my motherland because i serve my motherland and if it seems to someone that this interferes with my duties to them as journalists, they misunderstand. these people are not journalism, nothing is motherland, nothing is service. a second later, simonyan said i want to say the same thing to you , then pushilin and further along the chain. i also want military commander semyon pegov after the explosion on the ukrainian mini-petal and in the catherine's hall of the kremlin on crutches. how are you feeling now? yes, beautiful, i’m not

complaining, we military correspondents are not assiduous people. so it’s not interesting for us to lie in the hospital for a long time, so already at the forefront on crutches i trained myself to run. so it's just easier here. the girls irina kuksinkovannyy also became military officers. here i literally write all the special people, write the history of the country. 17 children, 17. so 17 18 own children, one grandson. yes, everyone. all the viewers want to ask you. 17 children - how is it possible at all with god everything is possible. we always still always in debt bought such no. trying an amazing coincidence, but 14 years ago, it was our film crew who filmed

the story about this family. all then still kids katya olya luda nadya anya styopa kolya yana maxim marina seryozha dasha timofey ilyusha senya polina filipp 17 children in total. well at home, we are at seven eight, well to 17 never now the oldest 41 of 26 years of work experience. the heroine's mother spent more than twenty well- deserved awards on maternity leave, before receiving which well, of course, i was very worried. well, i think that they took it here on the left, here everything and everyone is at the highest level, it is important for a musician not only to play well, but also to look great. those who were awarded the order of merit for the fatherland were taught in advance. how to receive an award correctly, leaning over our heads, we put on this music, the awarded heads of the zaporozhye and kherson

regions congratulate the awarded heads of the luhansk donetsk republic, we will not let us down in the ranks and will fulfill any tasks facing us that day, for the second time, they fire at the hospital and what to do with it only drive away only drive away the enemy any opportunity, if they have, they use to harm the civilian population in the first place, they are different. champagne hangs, but not everyone has enough in the soviet union, as they said in the soviet

union, everything is there. but not everyone has enough champagne was brought urgently among the awardees and the head of the legendary magnitogorsk hawk moths and, under severe sanctions, the plant. quickly got back on my feet at 85% load. well, this without exports, in general, all large russian business. in this extremely difficult year, he showed himself, to the surprise of many, very responsible, you understand the matter. the thing is, if a person lives here and connects his life with the life of his children of his family, with this country, this is one thing, but if a person does not connect his life with this side, but simply take money out of here. and everything is there, then he values ​​\u200b\u200bnot the side in which he lives and where he earns, but trembles with good relations, where he has property and money about a and such people pose a danger to us, but the vast majority of representatives, including large businesses, they are patriots of our country patriots of russia the main result of the year in the economy is obvious russia has

withstood the onslaught of aggressive sanctions soon the economy will resume growth you are following ilya baev . what is happening in the world. who is a treaty capable, and who simply cannot be trusted from now on and forward. this is our, uh, fundamental conclusion from that story, which is the result of a consistent line of many years. west on the transformation of ukraine into anti-russia with the main goal of preventing. russia's participation in international affairs as an independent strong player gaining more and more influence and the hysterical reaction of our western colleagues on the united states team to the actions we are taking as part of a special military operation confirms that

that our actions ensured the failure of their geopolitical games of geopolitical plans. well, we'll keep looking. we have plans within the eurasian economic union of the shanghai cooperation organization brix. so the vast majority of the countries of the world certainly do not share the attempts that we have seen in recent years through forceful actions, moreover, illegitimate sanctions, ultimatums, blackmail threats, to assert the dominance of the united states and its western allies in the world arena. nobody likes it, and i'm convinced. what the historical process is already, well, making its verdict. yes, it will be a long historical era of transition to multipolarity to real multipolarity. the west will strongly resist, we are seeing this when our western colleagues on all continents.

they simply demand that the countries of the developing world join the anti-russian sanctions and refuse contacts with russia, these attempts are futile. the vast majority of the countries of the world have received insight, and we will proceed from this when building. from now on, our foreign policy, relying solely on a partnership that has proven that they consist of a contract of capable people who keep their word and who do not try to achieve any results in their favor at the expense of infringing on the interests of others balance of interests. this is our motto. our external policy is based on it. the czech line and only such an approach has prospects in international life. this interview was recorded in minsk, where the russian-belarusian negotiations took place, which attracted the attention of the whole world. in

minsk, the bright sun and frost lukashenka judging based on such shots, i decided to ask his guard of honor about this, to whose soldiers to say, of course you can’t, but can you refuse the supreme commander and it was read on your lips no way. putin was greeted in minsk with bread and salt, which somewhat surprised the president. but this is the first visit since the pandemic, so the flowers, too. nikolay handshake flowers and his press secretary in a car with

two standards moscow wants quote to drag minsk into the conflict in ukraine, i was pumping up the excitement with every second. here shoigu put some folder on the table. but some folder was handed over by his belarusian colleague. but the minister of defense of belarus looks somehow very concentrated. it got to the point that berlin expressed official concern about putin's visit to minsk, a completely absurd concern, because the contacts of the closest allies, which are russia belarus, they should not bother anyone, because they are not carried out against someone, and in the name of mutual benefit western media interpret mutual interest of mutual benefit, as moscow's desire to absorb belarus, the attempts of our ill-wishers to slow down our integration process, and they do it only in

order not to get effective and dangerous competitors for them on the number markets . that's all. and lukashenka also said bluntly, if anyone cares about belarusian sovereignty, then this is the west in difficult times. he did not refuse, but went forward, native as a person close to belarus. and if someone thinks we are today to break into a beat. it won’t work in the twentieth year, it wasn’t him who attacked me, it wasn’t russia russia stretched out its hand to us from there, but they wanted to deprive us of independence and the belarusian delegations met like good friends with humor. the protocol service of the belarusian president masterfully synchronized the start of negotiations between the two presidents

. location, apparently chose a good one. there were a lot of photos of the presidents of russia and belarus in the press that day, because the continuation of the most important program for training the crews of combat aircraft of the army of belarus was announced, which have already been converted for the possible use of air-launched ammunition with a special warhead put the s -400 complex, which you handed over, on combat duty belarus and, most importantly, the iskander complex , which you also promised, handed over to us the situation in the region six months ago. very difficult. west ukraine on its normalization do not want to go. all conflicts end

one way or another with some kind of negotiations on the diplomatic track. and we never gave up . this leadership of ukraine forbade itself to negotiate. we will strive to ensure that this is completed and the sooner the better of course. well, what about what happens and how? the classification of hostilities leads to unjustified losses the chicken pecks escalates and the economic war that day came reports of the west's decision to set a price not only for russian oil, but also gas unacceptability of any ceilings. although they are set quite high. but this is a matter of principle. this is interference in the processes of market pricing. and if today we agree to such a generous ceiling, then tomorrow we will have to agree to a ceiling that infringes on interests, so this is out of the question. we will never agree to such a distortion and destruction of the market process. education prices are absolutely not inherent in a market

economy. instruments. imagine if you wanted to come and buy, well, conditionally saying, mercedes or chevrolet came there and said i would buy it. for 5 rub. and not higher. all right, you buy one or two or three cars, and then mercedes will close, because the production of mercedes or charal will be unprofitable. the same thing is happening in the energy sector, everything is the same one to one. we are already at a point when underinvestment in the industry will no longer provide the market with the required volume of products, and then prices will skyrocket and hurt those who are trying to find tools to implement. that's what they are trying to do now. it's such atagism of colonialism, they are accustomed to steal and rob other countries. indeed, to a large extent, the upsurge of the economies of european countries is based on the slave trade and on the robbery of africa , asia, latin america, but they are used

to robbing, and here is an attempt at non-market regulation in the economic sphere. this is the same colonial robbery, but the world has changed and it is unlikely that he mustache to do it. today, but in such a struggle, apparently, all means are good, if it came to undermining the northern flows of international, i would say state terrorism is clear that this was done under the support of the state, who is interested in the fact that the supply of russian gas to europe would be only through ukraine, and blew it up here so that ukraine would receive money. here is the aggressor of aggression in russia, but the money is received from us. we pay and take money. and nothing money smells like a situation when a political storm is raging in the world, and for obvious reasons it was decided to pay special attention to young people. this is an information war. it always took place, but now it has acquired a particularly acute character. our task is to give young people of russia strong.
