[000:00:00;00] treated each other as equals, i don’t know how it will all work out, but our position is this, this is what we will strive for, yes please, here a hand was raised there, well, no there, yes the man raised his hand , yes yes, kubat rakhimov, kyrgyz republic, a short question, we see a successful case of creating a gas union between russia and uzbekistan and kazakhstan, this year, already in october, uzbekistan will receive russian gas, but we have two more problems in central asia , this is water and energy, that’s how you are vladimir vladimirovich, do you assess the prospects for creating a water and energy union in which russia would act as an active player and moderator of processes in order to avoid social instability and even armed conflicts,

thank you, as for energy, right? energy supplies, we have never supplied gas from russia to central asia , everything was different there in soviet times, central asia was supplied through two pipeline systems, but now, taking into account the growing needs, the growth of our economy friends in central asia, they raised the question for us, and climate change changes, this year in kazakhstan. no one ever remembers, it’s simply incredible, but it happened , which means it can happen again, so we were asked to think about implementing, starting the supply of russian gas to these countries, without which, without these supplies it is difficult, we

understand, here we are we worked on this together, our stan friends got involved and implemented a plan to restore their part of the pipeline system, the same thing was done was on the territory of uzbekistan and gazprom had to do this on the territory of the russian federation , including reconfiguring, reconfiguring some of our technical capabilities, because i repeat, once again, gas was supplied in one direction in soviet times, now we need to supply it in the other, we we will carry it out, technically this has already been done, full deliveries will begin in october of this year, in a small volume for now, but this is critically important for both the economy of kazakhstan and the economy

uzbekistan, with 3 billion cubic meters of weather, we will adjust the weather, and then we can increase it - uh, yes, there are other problems, this is energy in the broad sense of the word, hydro, energy, this is water, these are all solvable issues, they are not easy from an economic point of view and financial point of view, but solvable, but when solving all these issues, we, of course, should not forget about the environment, this is all in our field of vision, including with our kiragist friends, we know about this, we are working on it and so with the prime minister, with the permanent we are discussing this, i hope we will see him at the cis summit in the near future, and we will also talk about this, so everything is on the agenda, we, we understand that this is important for our countries, by the way, with regard to the supply of our gas to moldova, i once noticed that one

of the officials... of moldova said that more, more, which means moldova does not buy russian gas, to be honest, i was a little surprised, because the conditions , on which we supply gas to moldova, these are moldovan conditions, it was the moldovans who asked us about such a formula for supplies and price formation, it was precisely the moldovan proposal, and we met halfway, despite... all the contradictions in the field of politics, we chose the proposal of the moldovan side, but of course, issues related to debt obligations must be resolved, here this is obvious thing, but despite the statements of moldovan officials that moldova has stopped receiving our gas, i asked miler yesterday and today, i say, listen, what are they doing, what are they doing there, they don’t need gas, he says no, how is everything?

we supplied, so we supply everything, nothing... that hasn’t changed, what kind of people are they, they are wagging their tongues, it’s unclear why they are doing this, in my opinion they are only damaging the economy of moldova, yes, please. yes, yes, yes, vladimirovich, pyotr stolypin, addressing the troublemakers, uttered his famous phrase : we need a great russia, you need great upheavals, then great upheavals did not escape russia, the last time these upheavals came to us in the ninety-first year. today russia is moving from great upheavals to greatness, which for you is

the greatness of russia, thank you, we all know you as a writer, a patriot of russia and such a fundamentalist, i would say russian statehood, as for the greatness of russia, you know, uh, the greatness of russia today lies in strengthening its sovereignty, and sovereignty is based on self-sufficiency , in technology, in finance, in economics, in general, in the field of defense and security. and this is what i would like to say in this regard, those people who for some reason began to fight today’s russia after

1991, i partly said this in my speech, i don’t understand at all why they did it, only out of self-confidence and stupidity, i can’t say it any other way, i keep asking myself the question, why? after all, we threw up our hands, we want, we are here, no, we started trying to finish off, why, but nevertheless they began to do it , this led us to the only choice, to strengthen our sovereignty in the sphere of economics, finance, security technologies, so these are the people who started doing this and brought this confrontation to the present stage -

already hot, they began to impose sanctions on us, they achieved the opposite of the expected result, we are experiencing quite obvious changes in the structure of the russian economy, as i already said, this means that in the gdp, in the structure of gdp we added 3% to oil and gas, processing industries, including, of course, defense industry, but not only, i already said, it means electronics, optics , mechanical engineering, 43%, they left our market, and apparently thought that everything would collapse, but no, everything is only getting stronger, yes, it has grown... a little inflation, yes, our ruble fluctuates, we we see these problems, but the structure of the economy is changing, it is becoming more high-tech on its own basis , we need to maintain this trend, and we will definitely

do this, on the basis of this we will continue to strengthen our defense capability, we see these questions that arise, sorry, i’ll say frankly during the fighting, we still don’t have enough, but we are increasing this production, and in some, in some areas, by several times, not by some percentage, by several times, and if we maintain all these trends, but we certainly we will do this, and we will rely on the support and trust of our people, which is also expressed in the fact that we simply have a wide flow of volunteers joining the armed forces. today we already have 335,000 people who came voluntarily and signed contracts with the ministry of defense and approximately another 5,000, a little more , so-called volunteers, although they are all

volunteers, but they come voluntarily, but this is simply a different category, contracts are signed for more short term, in general it is already somewhere around 3500, in this, trust people to the politics of the russian state, because everyone sees that we are not dealing with any immediate issues. all of ours, we may not do everything as we would like, but the overwhelming majority of citizens see that everything is aimed at strengthening the russian, russian state, russian statehood, it is multi-component, but but the trend is obvious, quite obvious, a trend, very positive, correct , our task

is to maintain these trends. and we will do this, but can i butt in on one thing, since you touched on volunteers, it’s just that you recently, during the year that has passed, among other things, there was one event, a very dramatic one, an attempt at a military mutiny, and you recently met with a representative to end on a positive note, and this is a positive thing, i just wanted to ask, now -we know how to deal with private military companies. you know, in our country, this, it was a journalistic name, a private military company, in russia there are no private military companies, because there is no law on private military companies, we don’t have them exists, and did not exist, which means that the experience that existed, it was so clumsy , because it was not based on the law, yes, it was caused by the need for the current situation, frankly, let’s say, any, and when

the ministry of defense proposed, parts this company to come to participate in hostilities, i did not object, because um, because people acted voluntarily and uh, and we saw that they fought heroically, but - the interests of even ordinary members of this company and the leadership of this company, they do not always coincide , not nevertheless, we received income of 300, in my opinion, 840 million - billion rubles from food supplies to the armed forces, there were other problems related to the pure economic component, but i don’t want to go into that now. we don’t yet have a consensus in russia about whether we need such formations or not? but today i can say for sure that several thousand are fighters of this company, they have already signed contracts with the armed forces, they want, and if they want, then they will

take part in hostilities, this first, second, they do this on the basis of signed individual contracts, which did not exist before, and it was, it was a big mistake, because it did not guarantee people social protection, but if there is no contract, then there are no social obligations on the part of the state, but why hide it, everyone already knows it well, the money was paid in cash. how is it in cash, to be honest, it’s my fault, no matter how i couldn’t imagine how it could be, but if it’s in cash, it means who was given it and who wasn’t given, who determines who deserves what, this is the same question, so if you do this , then it must be done on the basis of the law, well, this process is not easy, simple, not simple, complex, but we are discussing, thinking about it, but from the point of view... from the point of view, in many

countries such companies exist, are actively working, and above all they work abroad, of course, well, we all know this well, but whether we need them or not, we will think about it above this, well, now we see what is happening on the line of contact, there russian troops feel confident. in many directions, they were moving yesterday, along the entire line of contact, in twelve sections, we just don’t pay such fundamental attention to this, but it matters, in 12 directions we advanced, somewhere around 300, 400 , 500, in two areas 1,500 , 1,600 m deep, but this is called: just improving

your position on the battlefield, these are tactical things, but they still matter, so do we need private ones here? military, military companies, well, we need people who want to fight, and defend the interests of their homeland, to fight for their homeland, there are some of them, including from the company that you mentioned, well, i already know that the question is probably hanging in the air, what happened? with the management of the company and so on, but we know that there was a plane crash, the head of the investigative committee reported to me, just the other day, fragments of hand grenades were found in the bodies of those killed during the plane crash, there was no external influence on the plane, this is already

an established fact, a fact, the result of an examination carried out by the investigative committee of the russian federation, well, the investigation is not completed, there, yes, unfortunately, the presence of alcohol or drugs in the blood of the victims was not examined, although we know that after the well-known events, in a company in st. petersburg the fsb discovered not only 10 billion in cash, but also 5 kg of cocaine, but i repeat again, in my opinion, such an examination should have been carried out, but it was not carried out, well, that’s what it is, i told you, and i i want to say right away that i mean i asked the chairman of the investigative committee whether it is possible to say this publicly, he says: yes, it is possible, this is an established fact, so in this way, well then, let’s say some more, so as not to end there, margarit simonyan can, yes, margarita,

please, although you can, would you give the floor to our foreigners , please, well, okay, you said about karabakh, i, as an ethnic armenian, cannot help but react , let me assure you that all normal armenians understand everything perfectly well and understand perfectly well that pashinyan was generally brought to authorities at one time precisely in order to surrender karabakh and in order to raise such questions as our presenter quoted from european politicians, and normal armenians understand that if it were not for russia, the armenian people would not exist, as at the beginning of the 19th century, when they were saved by griboyedov, so at the beginning of twenty, when they rescue a peacemaker in karabakh, this is a remark... a short question, our guest from hungary does not want to ask about our odessa, but i want to, because odessa is a russian city, a beautiful city, it seems to us, that the russians cities should live in russia in connection with this question, where would you like

us to stop, thank you, the first part of your speech, i cannot agree with you that what does it mean that prime minister pashinyan was brought to power by someone from the outside and in order to surrender karabakh, after all, it was the choice of the armenian people, yes, you can have different attitudes towards the electoral processes, but this is a fact, so i don’t agree with you here, this is the first second, that he sought to create karabakh, i too i don’t agree, i talked to him, i talked closely, during this period... conflict of the twentieth year, and a little earlier, of course, because, let’s remember, when he came to power, he said that karabakh is part of armenia, uh, no one had ever

said this before, but, well, it’s true, then his position changed radically, this is why, this is no longer a question for me, and then during the conflict of the twentieth year, i ’m filming... in my opinion, he sincerely sought to maintain the situation, preserve it, i ’m not saying now , the decisions were right, wrong, it’s not my place to judge this, but i think it’s unfair to say that he purposefully surrendered karabakh, now about , about where we should stop: you know, we, it’s not about the territories, it’s about guaranteeing the security of the peoples of russia and the russian state, but this is a more complex question than some territory, the safety of people who

consider russia their homeland, and we consider them our people, but this is such a complex question that requires... i’m afraid to talk to your husband, he means if not an extremist, a person of extreme convictions, but with we will discuss with you later, yes , please, let's go here, thank you very much, mr. president, i work in islamabad and would like to return to the speech, we raised very important issues. we are talking about the western positions on the need for dialogue and constructive interaction between civilizations.

you keep telling us who they are to ask us questions or dictate to us. we understand that military alliances really changed the entire balance of power in the middle east, by attacking various countries, including afghanistan, iraq and so on, but there is a serious question. if we truly build a multipolar world, it must be based on economic aspects. you talked about energy, you look at competition in the markets and you see that for the population, for example, it is impossible to provide a lower price, then this is a crime against one’s own consumers, that’s my question: is it possible to see an opportunity for russia during crises? the possibility of creating a new economic world order. i am

a political scientist, and it seems to me that the whole point is precisely in the economic order, the one who controls natural resources, the one who controls all routes, transportation, has all the levers of control, and is there any new project, how can we. resist sanctions, sanctions are really strangling not only russia, but also many other countries, russia survives because russia has a lot of resources, but there are other countries, for example, in africa in asia, and we are facing serious challenges, and can you formulate your own opinion, how would you determine whether it is possible to form a new economic world order in the future? led by russia. i fully. i agree with what you just said, this

is so, the future world order will certainly be based on the future economic, monetary and financial system, it should be more balanced, it should meet the interests of the vast majority of participants in international communication, that’s how it is, it is are there any prospects that this will eventually happen? this is a very complex process, judging by the way our opponents behave, let ’s call them that, since we are now talking about economics, we won’t use any other terms, but they cling at all costs to their privileges, as i already said , many people think that the british system is outdated, because it’s not me who is saying this, these are experts, western experts, it needs to be changed, of course , it leads to such ugly phenomena as , say, debt... obligations of developing economies, of course, this is

unconditional, unconditional complete dominance of the dollar in the world system, it will be, it ’s already a matter of time, but with its own, let’s say, well, to put it mildly, unprofessional actions, their stubbornness and their disdain for all other participants in international economic communication, say, the political and financial authorities, the economic authorities of the united states, shoot themselves in the foot, because when they limit, limit, payments in dollars, well, what should we do, we forced then simply forced. to pay in national currencies, we are forced to discuss the issues that i already spoke about when answering one of

my colleagues’ questions, to create new logistics for these currency payments, thus the scope of the dollar is naturally shrinking, it's shrinking as the united states... this is a huge economy, and the country is huge and great, without any doubt, there can be no doubt, we are not minimizing anything here and we are not exaggerating anything, but it itself is reducing the sphere of its influence in the world economy, that is, this is already happening due to objective reasons for the growth of emerging markets and developing economies, look at the pace at which asia is developing, this is already happening, and the states, based on the political the current situation accelerates these processes, well, excuse me, but this is

to put it mildly, you know, there is such a common expression, this is worse than a crime. this is a mistake, this is true, in this case it is true, uh, therefore, if there are any projects that - will create - a new economic, logistical base, there is, of course, here - chairman xinzenpeng proposes one of these projects, one train, one track, this is the unifying slogan, one belt and one road, all together, and we are doing the same thing - during construction the eurasian economic community, think together about how to unite, and if the brix countries, the sco countries are also involved here , well, listen, this is joint work and pakistan also takes part in this, joint work in finding a solution, of course, this is difficult, this is a difficult task and will take time, but the realization that this is beneficial

to everyone will push the process forward. and i’ll end where i started: in this sense, the strengthening of a multipolar world is inevitable. thank you very much, thank you very much, thank you great, vladimir vladimirovich, we are waiting for you in a year at the twenty-first valdai. and i am waiting for you all, too, at events of this kind, and i want to thank you for. so, the speech of the president of russia has just ended, meaningful , fundamental and truly important, thank you for watching the special edition of the 60 minutes program, definitely, see you tomorrow, well, now

lead the way, stay on our channel, bye. on the air of the russia tv channel big news, in the studio ernest motskevich, hello, chief the events of this thursday in our issue, you must, you must, we are seriously warning you, who are you anyway? what right do you have to warn someone? why the western elites definitely need an enemy and why pragmatism will triumph, how the economy copes in the conditions of the northern military district, whether it is necessary to return to nuclear testing and what new types of strategic weapons will soon be on combat duty, important statements by the russian president at the valdai forum.

dear madam prime minister, i ask you to accept this document. from friendly to you russia. an event for a country of 170 million , bangladesh received fuel for aas from russia. a report from the site by our special correspondent dmitry melnikov. the assembly point for soldiers of the armed forces of ukraine was destroyed by russian factories. explosions in poltava, kharkov and dnepropetrovsk regions. a leopard smokes after an anti-tank missile. what is reported from artyomovskaya solidera by mikhail andronik and. nine reserve regiments have been formed by the russian ministry of defense in the special operation zone, what tasks will they solve. the body of another ukrainian was found in the black sea a saboteur from a group attempting to land in crimea. supporting ukraine is a very cheap way to ensure that russia and its regime do not pose a threat to nato. the head of

the dutch ministry of defense explained everything as it is. against the backdrop of a disruption in the american congress , zelsky urgently flies to europe, but why didn’t the participants of the summit of the european political community come to the press? the president of slovakia is against the allocation of another batch of weapons to kiev. new mood after parliamentary elections. attempt on the life of adc co-chair tin krupal, he still in intensive care, who is trying to knock out the leader of the party opposed to the policies of scholz and. there is a new nazi scandal in canada, the authorities are again apologizing for stirring up the former ss man bunko. here tchaikovsky met strovinsky, glinka imagined life for the tsar, verdi for this scene created his own force of fate, 240 years of the legendary mariinsky theater. they went for an eye test and returned with healing blankets. how

the scheme worked, our investigation. new missile attacks were carried out on the military infrastructure of ukraine this night. and drones, hit targets in the poltava, kharkov and dnepropetrovsk regions. in the kirovograd region, near bogdanovka, an ammunition and weapons warehouse was destroyed. a collection point for ukrainian soldiers in the kherson region, 70 km from the front line, was destroyed by two glide bombs. the tornado s missile system worked on the positions of the ukrainian armed forces on the right bank of the dnieper. the gunners used high-precision guided ammunition. and this is footage of getting into german. under artyomovskaya artillery of the southern group of troops destroyed an american towed m119 gun. objective control footage

was taken from a copter. this is also filming the use of fpv drones in the artyomovsk direction. ivanovo paratroopers destroy all infantry in shelters. near kleshcheevka solidar, where our military daily repels attacks by assault groups, the ukrainian armed forces lost up to 210 militants killed and wounded, about how the rszzo grad crew performs combat missions on the front line, a report from our military correspondent grigory vdovin. the night fields near solidar are flooded with moonlight; it only takes a couple of minutes to turn around and aim. in accompanied by our operator, dmitry vishkevich, rszo grad, a veteran brigade, leaves for the position. 51.07, 51.07, yes. this installation will now work on the accumulation of enemy manpower, just in the kalishcheevka area, the command is received to open fire.

you have to roll up and leave the shooting site no less quickly, you did a great job, today we drove up very close to the front line, about 6 km from the lbs. what is this point we see in the sky? in the sky it is most likely a reconnaissance officer. here is the dome, that is, air defense protection, here we are more or less in a safe place, movement around solidar mainly occurs at night, in the dark the kamik drones are blind, but during the day you can see firsthand how dangerous they are, there are burnt equipment on the roadsides, they try to detect the movement and departure of enemy drones in the sky, but it turns out not always, the enemy plans to launch a massive attack with kamikaze drones, thereby increasing activity, limiting... you can go anywhere only when the headquarters weather forecasters give the command warmly, which means the situation is more or less safe for the front line.

we are now driving a uaz, a rather interesting product of front-line car designers, the car itself is old, but the engine is modern, as far as i understand, quite powerful from a toyota car, that is, this car drives very fast, with drifts, but in general, this is exactly what is needed here, driving at constantly maximum speeds , these are the traffic rules here, we fight off the enemy’s advances every day, now we are coping, before this the situation was worse, now they’ve probably learned to work harder, my interlocutor, an engineer from the oil industry, lost in salary and experience with mobilization , but his conscience is clear, he didn’t have the thought of running away from the agenda for a minute, he takes us to show us the attraction of this direction, a homemade miracle weapon, at the same time works great, quite an interesting unit, the rapier cannon, welded directly by its frame to the mtlb. this weapon

is called a sniper rifle for its accuracy, in this case it is combined with the mobility of the most common tractor in the army. this masterpiece of engineering art is commanded by an artilleryman with the call sign terminator, which is quite consistent with the invention. according to the documents, this is mtlb or. according to the documents it turns out to be a mtlb, a self-propelled gun, and rapier, arapira are also separate according to the document, something like what they called it, in general a bell, the patrimony of doctors, everything is here in order to stabilize the wounded and send him onward, it’s on this table that everything happens the same rule of the golden hour, if they brought you here, the patient will most likely live, we stabilize people, both severe and moderate and lungs and so on, we treat the lungs, provide assistance on average, rapid processing is already underway with heavy ones, the treatment is already sent to the surgical departments as soon as possible. the front line in the sector of the front held by the veterans is the trench position along the highway to

slavyansk, a wide straight road along which you only have to drive about 20 km to reach this city. we are holding the front line of the front line, we are holding on and will continue to hold on, the enemy will not pass until the last, i want to convey a huge greeting to my people.’ but for now here you have to run and get into the car leaving at all times, too, here the uaz develops 120 km/h that seems impossible for this car. grigoriev. gennady korneev, andrey rudenko and olek bondarenko, news from the donetsk people's republic. three civilians were killed, nine were injured, among them children, this is the result of the shelling of gorlovka in the donetsk people's republic. ukrainian formations again used cluster munitions. in total , almost six dozen shells were fired at the city. another 10 missiles and multiple launch rocket systems exploded in the village of gulmovsky. fierce fighting with ukrainian militants does not stop at

artyomovsk direction, there, as reported. today at the ministry of defense, the artillerymen of the southern group of troops eliminated another american howitzer paladin with an advanced report from the military correspondent mikhail andronik, the crew of an airborne combat vehicle of the ivanovo airborne division is flying across artyomovsk, modern guidance systems make it possible to strike militants from anywhere in the city, the most important thing is that the command is quickly received, the coordination is dropped, we fly out let's aim. the dense artillery fire of our troops in the arrtemovsky direction is giving its results. lately, the enemy seems to have begun to work less, well due to the fact that the technicians themselves were probably less tired. we leave almost every day. ukrainian militants, in turn, not being able to reach our guns, are hitting everything that comes into their field of vision. a wonderful bandage for prolapsed organs. fortunately, we have not yet been able to test it in action. medical teams

are on duty in the city around the clock. herself. a nurse with the call sign google shows the contents of his backpack and tells only one of the hundreds of stories of rescue of our soldiers. one was heavy with an incomplete separation of his foot, i provided first aid, after which a signal sounded from the fpv of an enemy drone in our area, it was urgently necessary to camouflage this wounded man, everything can be seen from above if the drone does not see. he will carry out an attack on people, here in the artyomovsky direction all types and branches of troops are working, reports from the tank crews of the southern military district with direct fire, guided shells are destroying one enemy armored vehicle after another, the next onslaught of militants has been repulsed. they i think they were constantly throwing, nothing is visible, just a solid wall of smoke, the thermal imager can see everything perfectly, the cars are moving, i was shooting on cue, he was shooting, the hobbies were over, he hit the bmp with a landmine, how many 4.5 km it was. in the direction of the vehicles

, these homemade trawls are welded on to remove magnetic mines, which the enemy actively throws remotely into the territory. the enemy continues to try to approach the city, making several attacks on our position every day, but he is unable to gain a foothold in the vicinity of artyomovsk. mikhail andronik, anton musikyan, donetsk people's republic. 38,000 volunteers joined the ranks of the russian army. such data is the minister. defense sergei shaiga brought to a meeting with the commanders at the headquarters of the joint group of forces. before this, the head of the defense department visited the training ground to see how contract soldiers and volunteers are trained under the supervision of experienced instructors. alexey golovko. one of the training grounds in the southern military district is working to train contract soldiers and volunteers for the army combat reserve. the fighters are practicing actions in attack and defense, perform

tactical and fire training tasks. the minister of defense is overseeing the preparation of the assault troops. sergei shaig is told about the volume of rifle commands. 50 pieces each with practical performance of at least four practical performances per period. the training center for unmanned aerial vehicle operators is also located here. those who have signed a contract for this specialty are trained in 2 weeks. i went to volunteers coming from the urals. signed a contract for 6 months, in 2 weeks of training you get the whole range of skills. it is drones that have become a formidable weapon in a special military operation, relatively inexpensive devices capable of destroying multimillion-dollar western equipment. the ability to control them should now be as basic in the army as the ability to use small arms, a product of kalashnikov for almost everyone, if not everyone, if not at least through one for sure. things are going well for us, but the enemy is not asleep either. very important. that all instructors

at this training ground have real combat experience actions directly transfer it to volunteers who join the main reserve of the russian army, the total number is nine reserve regiments that are being trained and there is a natural constant replenishment of volunteers, during this time we have 38,000 volunteers - recruited, people come, highly motivated, ready to carry out combat tasks, some already have combat experience, because many of the volunteers, having completed a six-month contract, return for a second time, and there are those who return for the third time, there are dozens of similar training grounds throughout the country, liberated

territories, individual heads of regions, shaigu especially notes, here the primorye governor and, of course, the turk governor, alexey dyumin, of course, one cannot fail to note the krasnodar governor, kondradva, such a serious, large association of all our subjects, not only in providing a large volume of humanitarian assistance, in the department of restoration of the rebirth of the republics that again became part of the russian federation. another important area of ​​training for contract soldiers is training in medical calculations, how to save wounded soldiers, they teach female medical instructors. we are waiting for the moment when we will be able to apply our skills directly on... the battlefield. the minister of defense also noted the high morale. girls from different places, from tula, from yalta, from krasnodar, from sibi, from everywhere , they ask me a question, why have we been here for a long time, it’s time we were sent there, it

was a big surprise for me that there are a large number of us, women volunteer, but for now their medical knowledge is more important at the training site. the medical instructors received memory from minister of defense medal watch. i serve russia. alexey golovko, alexander ivankov. news, they are chasing you. this evening , the russian ministry of defense reported that in the northwestern part of the black sea, our aircraft discovered and destroyed an unmanned boat of the ukrainian armed forces. meanwhile, the body of another ukrainian saboteur was found off the coast of crimea, from a group that unsuccessfully tried to land on the peninsula on wednesday night. as the head of the region stated today. and sergei aksenov, the bodies of other participants in this failed mission of the ukrainian armed forces. as for the militant who was captured, he, according to aksyonov, cooperates with the russian side and gives testimony.

the situation is still developing, i mean in the sense that one two- hundredth ukrainian has been found, so to speak, that is, there in uniform, with overalls, and so on, there, 5 km from the landing site, including those found there the body was there today just a few hours ago. i think that more such bodies, those who did not drown, that is , will be found there in the near future, one way or another otherwise, a prisoner who was captured, well, 46 years is a bit old for a red man, in this case, we think that this is still an intelligence officer there, but he is confident that he will tell everything, fully cooperates, on the internet, meanwhile, personal photographs of the captured our military saboteur , who during interrogation introduced himself as alexander lyubas, and indeed the age of this man casts doubt on the fact that he was actually listed as a private, now... his real name, status and ranks are being clarified by the special services. let me remind you that on wednesday night a sabotage group of the ukrainian armed forces on a speedboat and jet skis attempted to land in the western crimea in the area of ​​cape torkhankut, the saboteurs were discovered in time by our military border guards, who prevented the landing and

destroyed most of the militants. as the prisoner later stated during interrogation, the main purpose of the action was to film a propaganda video with the installation of the ukrainian flag in crimea. the crisis is not a territorial conflict, russia is the largest country in the world and is not looking for new lands, the issue is everything that is happening around ukraine, it is a question of the principles on which the new world order will be based. vladimir putin stated this today speaking at the twentieth anniversary meeting of the valdai discussion club. the theme of this year's meeting is fair multipolarity, and the president's speech was largely devoted to global changes in the world and the principles on which future... international relations should be based, about the most important statements of the head of state, evgeniy reshitnev. the valdai club holds its 20th anniversary meeting, venue polyana hotel 1389, this is its altitude above sea level, in winter they go skiing here, and now they discuss global politics. this year

there are 140 participants from 42 countries, including experts from the usa and western europe, as well as from the brics countries, the organization will expand this summer. its composition of influence is firmly determined to fight against the new colonialists. who this means is clear to everyone, especially the state of the so-called global south, which has been trying to get rid of western influence for centuries; this process has not yet been completed. here representatives of these countries take seats in the hall to hear what the russian president has to say, and he is talking about these neo-colonialists who are desperately trying to maintain elusive control. it was clear to us from the very beginning that attempts... to establish a monopoly were doomed to failure, the world was too complex and diverse to be subordinated to one scheme, even if there was power, enormous power behind it. in the west, accumulated over centuries of colonial policy, well, and your

colleagues, many are absent here, but they are not deny that the prosperity of the west was largely achieved thanks to the robbery of the colonies over the centuries, but this is a fact, in fact, this level of development was achieved to a large extent due to the robbery of the entire planet, the history of the west ... is essentially a chronicle endless expansion, western influence in the world is a huge military-financial pyramid, it always needs new fuel to support itself, natural, technological, human resources belonging to others. the ukrainian conflict is not at all the way western propaganda deliberately tries to portray it, reducing everything to a simple scenario designed for the average person.

the ukrainian crisis is not territorial. russia is the largest, largest country in the world in terms of territory, we have no interests in terms of conquering any additional territories, we still have to develop and develop siberia, eastern siberia, and the far east, this is not a territorial conflict, and even not establishing a regional geopolitical balance is a much bigger question. we are talking about the principles on which the new world order will be based. the doors to aldai are open to everyone, so there are now many representatives of western countries here, and vladimir putin has said more than once that russia has friends in the west, in europe, they have not gone away, they are simply not allowed to express their position. the west always needs an enemy from a certain part of the western elites; it needs an enemy, the fight against which can explain the need for forceful action and expansion. but it is also needed to preserve the inner control in a certain system, this same

gigenmon, within blocs, within nato or other military-political blocs. there is an enemy, everyone must rally around the boss. it’s not our business how other states live, we see how in many of them the ruling elites force society to accept the norms and rules that the citizens themselves in everything... in the case of a large number of citizens, in some countries one can definitely say, the majority of citizens, they don’t want to accept, they are forced, constantly inventing reasons for this, finding external culprits, growing internal problems, inventing and inflating non-existent threats. at the same time , russia is a favorite topic of such politicians. the west increasingly resembles a locomotive rushing into the abyss. whose brakes failed, i have said more than once that we did not start the so-called war in

ukraine, on the contrary, we are trying to end it, we did not stage a coup in kiev in 2014, a bloody coup, unconstitutional, no matter where it happened , we always immediately hear all the world’s subordinate means, well, before in total, of course, the anglo-saxon world cannot do this, it is impossible. and here it is possible, they even named the money, the amount of money that this coup cost, everything is possible , at that time we were supporting the crimeans and sevastopol residents, we did not stage a coup, and we did not intimidate the crimeans and sevastopol residents with ethnic cleansing in the nazi spirit, not us tried to force the donbass to obey with the help of shelling and bombs, it wasn’t us who threatened to deal with those who want... to speak their native

language, well, listen, well, everyone is here informed, literate people, okay, you can brainwash, excuse the maviton, powder a million people who perceive reality from the media, well, you know what happened, for 9 years they bombed, shot, tanks were used, war, natural a war against donbass would be unleashed, justice for all, access to modern goods also for everyone, and attempts... in his speech, putin formulated and proposed the image of peace that russia will promote in the international arena, and this image not speculative, it simply reflects common sense and the natural course of history, igor belagurov, ivan usanov, alexandra terpugova, anna kolk, krasnaya polyana news. the plenary session of the valdai club is always a particularly anticipated event not only for leading media, but also for politicians, etc. experts in the field of international relations, primarily because the president participates in the discussion personally and answers

everything, including the most pressing questions, this time the conversation was also direct and frank: vladimir putin expressed his opinion about the most current issues and events, including who is interested in continuing the conflict in ukraine, russia’s role in the situation around karabakh, changes in the composition of the un security council and the conditions for the use of nuclear weapons. about the key topics of conversation. alexey konapko. president svaldai’s words, as always happens, will immediately be parsed into quotes by the world and media. and this part will definitely make headlines. in an era when humanity is capable of destroying itself and the entire world, putin is being asked to change the russian doctrine of the use of nuclear weapons. if necessary should we change this? for what? everything can be changed. i just don't see the need for this. well, there is no such situation in which, well, let’s say, today something would threaten

russian statehood and the existence of the russian state? no. e. means, i think, no person of sound mind and clear memory would think of using nuclear weapons in relations with russia, i hear calls, for example, to begin testing nuclear weapons, the united states has signed the corresponding international act, document, test ban treaty nuclear weapons, and russia, it... russia signed and ratified, and the united states signed, but did not ratify , well, now we have almost finished work on modern types of strategic weapons, which i spoke about and which i announced a few years ago, the last

successful testing the petrel, a global-range cruise missile with a nuclear installation, a nuclear propulsion system, we have actually finished work on the sormat, on the super-heavy missile, the question is that we just need a clean administratively and bureaucratically complete some procedures, move on to their mass production and placing them on combat duty. and we will do this in the near future, that’s how experts usually say, well, a new weapon needs to make sure that it has a warhead, a special warhead will work without failures, but there is no need to carry out tests, well, i

’m not ready to say now, we really need no testing required. but, but, but behave in a mirror manner in relations with the united states, when they signed but did not ratify, and we signed and ratified, in principle, it is possible to behave in a mirror manner with the same united states, but this is a question for the state duma department; theoretically , this ratification can be revoked. enough, nuclear weapons are the last argument, which is used when the rest have run out, what russia has in reserve, they ask putin, the answer is on the battlefields, only since june 4, ukrainian units have already lost over 90,000 people, these are sanitary irretrievable

losses, 557 tanks , 100, almost 1900 armored vehicles of various classes. we calmly go to achieving our goals, i am sure we will achieve them. but there is benefit in the most difficult crises. ukrainian, for example, opened the abscesses of nazism that never went down into history, and not only on the banks of the dnieper. as you know, the canadian parliament just made a mockery of itself when they applauded a veteran ukrainian nazi in the canadian parliament. could you comment on this? god knows, you and i did not agree that there would be a question, but i was waiting for it, if the speaker of the canadian parliament does not know that during the war against russia hitler and his henchmen fought, then he is an idiot, well that just means, he just didn’t go to school, doesn’t have basic

knowledge, and if he knows that this man fought on the side of hitler and calls him a hero of ukraine and a hero of canada, then he scoundrel, or this or that? people we have to deal with, these are our opponents today from some western countries, but what else is important in my opinion, the speaker of the canadian parliament says he fought with the russians, quote: today he continues to support ukrainian troops, fighting against the russians, he essentially put on the same level the nazi collaborators from the sss and today's ukrainian combat units, fighting, as he said, against russia. this only confirms our thesis that one of

our goals in ukraine is denocification. valdai experts gather here to talk about common global topics, but they moved on to the ukrainian crisis almost immediately, because it is a sign of global change. it so happens that the valdai club absolutely accurately predicts global changes in the world, so much so that it’s hard to even say, are guessing or influencing future events back in the last decade , here they predicted the breakdown of the old world order, when it began, they predicted all the accompanying crises, now that they have begun , they are discussing on what foundations to build a new world . so the current escalation of the karabakh conflict happened just after western colleagues pushed nikol pashiyan to recognize the region as part of azerbaijan, without even trying to determine the future fate local armenians. chairman of the european council. this is charles michel, just as he said yesterday in an interview: russia betrayed the armenian people, you know, our people say, whose mare would bellow, yours would be silent, a cow, a mare,

it doesn’t matter, an animal, in short, some kind, in prague , in the fall of 2020, the twenty-second year, under the auspices of mr. michel, then the president ... of france, macron and mr. scholz, the chancellors gathered and the leaders of armenia and azerbaijan signed a statement, you know, a statement from which it follows that armenia recognized karabakh as part of the republic of azerbaijan, moreover, the leaders of the delegation, the leaders of armenia, directly named the territory of azerbaijan in square

kilometers, which certainly includes karabakh, that is, in essence, the main, absolutely key issue, which was the status of karabakh, was resolved to us by the way, no one said anything about this, i personally learned this from the press , after that, at... and at one of the meetings , president aliyev came up to me and said: well , you see, everyone recognized that karabakh is ours, your peacekeepers are there our territory, you see, even the status of our peacekeepers immediately underwent qualitative changes after the status of karabakh was determined as a part of azerbaijan. everything that happened was in the recent past, a week or two or three ago, the etochi corridor and so on. all this was inevitable after the recognition of azerbaijan’s sovereignty over karabakh. it was only

a matter of time when and in what way azerbaijan would establish constitutional order there within the framework of the constitution of the azerbaijani state. therefore , mr. michel and his colleagues should then think about it, when they persuaded, apparently, apparently, i don’t know, you need to ask them yourself. somewhere behind the scenes, behind the scenes, they were persuading the prime minister of armenia, mr. pashiyan, to take such a step, everyone should have thought together about the fate of the armenians of karabakh, now europe, and almost all of them, had other suzerains and other methods of governance, there was no need washington, for example, the energy prosperity of the old world, it was gone, the president of the united states publicly said that they would do everything to ensure that supplies russian energy supplies to europe through these pipeline systems were stopped

, and he smiled so meaningfully and said now i won’t say how it will be done, but we will do it, first, second, the destruction of these infrastructure facilities is certainly an act of international terrorism. third: we are not allowed to participate in the investigation, despite our proposals and repeated calls to do so. further. there are no results of investigations, and, apparently, there will not be any. and finally, in answer to the question of who is to blame, you always need to answer to the question, who is interested in this? of course, the american supplier of energy resources to the european market is interested. the americans have wanted this for a long time, and they

have achieved it. and by whose hands it no longer matters, but there is another component of this whole problem , of course, if it is ever revealed who did this, it must be brought to justice, this is an act of international terrorism, but one, one branch of the northern stream remains 2, it is not damaged and... it is possible to supply 27.5 billion cubic meters of gas to europe, this only the decision of the government of the federal republic of germany, nothing more is needed, today is the decision, tomorrow we turn everything on, and the gas starts flowing, but they don’t do this, because, as we

say, the washington optical committee... allows it to the detriment of its own our interests, we continue to supply gas to europe, and through turkish flows, and apparently, ukrainian terrorist groups are aimed at causing damage to him, there our ships guard these pipeline systems laid along the bottom of the black sea, but their trying to attack constantly with the help... which are being prepared, including with the direct participation of english-speaking specialists and advisers, we hear this on the air, where these unmanned, semi-propelled boats are being prepared, we hear english speech, this

is an obvious fact for us. who ultimately does this, well, draw your own conclusions , but deliveries continue, including through the territory of ukraine, we transit through the territory of ukraine, and pay money for this transit, so for a minute, we hear that we aggressors, that we are such bad russians, but money, apparently, does not smell, they receive money for transit. i'm happy to cash in on everything, everything. it is clear that right now it is difficult to establish contacts more widely, but don’t worry about the immediate. according to a long-standing tradition , it is vladimir putin who sums up all the most important results of the forum. but the very first session was opened by an expert from britain, who has been coming here for 20 years, further proof that you can talk to everyone if you have the desire. alexey knopko, alexandra terpukova, yuliadrova, maria
