the traditional action of st. george's ribbon has started in russia, it will last until may 9 in all regions of the country, as well as abroad about who has already joined the patriotic action zinaida kurbatova will tell 35,000 st. george ribbons are offered to everyone in kamchatka, the action will last until may 9, and in petropavlovsk-kamchatsky, the t-34 tank was decorated with a wide st. george ribbon, which is now growing. uh, this is the future of our country, and she must know the history and, accordingly, hand out ribbons. we distribute memory, we remind all those, and about those times in the novosibirsk region, 85,000 people will receive ribbons along with the ribbon. we give out a small flyer envelope, which spells out the history of this tape. where is she from appeared that since the time of catherine ii in what period? was it banned and in what period? here

again it began to be like a symbol of the victory behind the back, white and blue huge wings, volunteers distribute st. george's ribbons on the boulevards of ufa where are there many citizens in good weather? i thank the drawings and signatures on the flyers, how to wear ribbons correctly this year they will be offered to children right in schools, telling about the meaning of this symbol there are no indifferent who would just pass by without taking it. we have a ribbon, without listening, but her significance, so the action is really very important favorite. and i think it's for us, for youth volunteers. it is more relevant than ever now, but the st. george ribbon, which began to be distributed in different cities of our country, is a symbol of victory over nazism. moreover, this is a living active symbol this year. uh, everyone who wears this tape, who will carry it on their cars, uh, i will. this is completely conscious, including

as a sign of solidarity with our war heroes, and who are conducting such a sanitary share in europe no matter what the conditions. fierce resistance is also a sign of solidarity with those in ukraine with the citizens of ukraine who have suffered for many years, well, actually since the fourteenth year from this terror by ultranationalists, uh, who, like peaceful people, uh, raising their children, living in everyday worries found themselves in a position where they were simply terrorized , journalists were killed there, for example, the st. george ribbon became a kind of symbol. at the same time with all and this is not

only a symbol. it's also uh. well, let's say it's an identifier. the identifier in the fourteenth year of the militia e, distinguished itself precisely with the st. george ribbon and at the moment. uh, the st. george ribbon, having thus begun its movement in the donbass, the mass movement today is a kind of litmus test that defines just the nazis, because they are, just like the demons from the water of holy water warps, so the nazis from the st. george ribbon simultaneously with the action, st. george's ribbon, all over the country. people plant trees in memory of those who died in during the great patriotic war gardens of memory appear. it is necessary

to make such a memory everywhere under the windows of house 50 on frunzenskaya embankment in moscow, residents of the house and volunteers. planting christmas trees actress olesya zheleznyak decided to dedicate her tree to the memory of a relative of a war veteran for an international action. the garden of memory joins, armenia in the victory park in yerevan sounds the legendary katyusha song 200 volunteers plant trees. uh, among the participants of the action, the extraordinary plenipotentiary ambassadors of belarus are only ministan, kazakhstan and russia here in in armenia, the memory of the war is not distorted by being guarded. e. it is very important for me that at all levels, from the leadership of the country to the end. and every citizen is an ordinary citizen. uh, the memory of the war is preserved informally preserved in the souls of people preserved in tashkent in the garden of memory,

evergreen thujas are planted, senior and middle school students participate in the action. we want our international memory garden to expand across the planet, and so we are passing the baton to the younger generation in every school on the planet this year. gardens of memory will appear in 45 regions of russia as well as in germany, serbia and algeria zinaida kurbatova alexandra perfilyeva, anna poveteva news. western countries are actively supplying weapons and military equipment to ukraine, we are talking about artillery tanks and mi-17 allen lise helicopters for independence, see our analysis. the novelty of 1965, the west german tank leopard 1, is fast and maneuverable, but at the same time extremely weak,

armored from weapons, a light 105-mm cannon and two machine guns in the entire history of the existence of the leopard is practically not used in combat. but after almost 60 years, the german defense concern nevertheless found a use for itself. ryan metall, who during the second world war supplied the wehrmacht with weapons, now announced that he was ready to help ukraine transfer to it a whole batch of 50 obsolete leopards, and at the same time several marder infantry fighting vehicles in the translation of the marten of the same sixties production. kyiv mayor vitali klitschko was not impressed by leopards or martens from germany, even free ones, in an interview with a german newspaper bild, he requires heavy weapons and , moreover, urgently, however, chancellor olaf scholz answered. it is very clear that germany, of course, wishes ukraine

success, but the weapons are from the bundeswehr. there will be no more at the beginning of a military conflict. we supplied ukraine with weapons from our stocks. here we must admit that the possibilities that we have have reached their borders, in other words, the reserves of the german military department in the supply of heavy weapons to ukraine have been exhausted, but weapons, equipment and ammunition. ukraine can buy offers its own solution to the problem, chancellor scholz, the german government is even ready to provide ukraine with a loan of a billion euros for the purchase of weapons from german defense concerns. these are portable anti-aircraft systems for communication and counter-battery combat, and tanks are out of the question of heavy weapons from the frg , because, well, firstly, german heavy weapons must be able to control. yes, in order to learn how to manage it. it will be necessary to

spend at least a month, and during this month all the weapons may already be in the hands of the russian army, therefore, uh, klitschko calls understandably. why are his relatives in germany, where is his business, where are his commercial connections? this, however, does not mean that ukraine is left unarmed. in addition to germany, there are a number of countries ready to supply the armed forces and the national battalion with large-caliber artillery installations in the forefront of great britain, the united states and canada, all three countries announced their readiness on the same day. heavy artillery for ukraine, of course, is also not at all about the novelties of the western defense industry. britain, for example, is planning to dispose of on the fields of ukraine their self-propelled guns as-90 vicks, which they finished producing. in the ninety-fifth year, the canadian prime minister trudeau announced that he would also arm the ukrainian troops with

heavy artillery. this is despite the fact that the ministry of defense of canada announced extra weapons back in march. there are almost no weapons left in the warehouses and for further assistance to kiev this weapon. we will have to buy military assistance to ukraine in the united states has already become a de facto national project. under this, the budget is being redrawn and the entire defense-industrial complex is being mobilized. american senate, for the first time since world war ii. approved the lend-lease program for ukraine, the scheme is the same as 80 years ago, historians are now fighting. pay later. true , they remind that even the soviet union with its powerful economy. i have been paying for the lend list for decades, no one knows how ukraine will pay. well, in the meantime, the pentagon sets tasks for military corporations. the other day, representatives of the eight largest defense enterprises were invited to a closed meeting, rating, lockhitmartin boeing

and other details of the meeting were not disclosed, but according to according to the financial newspaper. the times talked about the fact that the production of weapons needs to be increased otherwise the us itself may not be enough since the end of february, the us has delivered more than 1,400 stinger missile systems to ukraine 5,000 javelin anti-tank systems and hundreds of switch blade drones, according to the center for strategic studies, washington transferred to ukraine about a third of its stocks which will take three or four years to replenish, american corporations will receive money to replenish stocks from the gigantic us defense budget of more than 770 billion dollars logic, cruel and simple. the worse things are in ukraine, the better things are for western defense enterprises. we must not forget that the supply of weapons to ukraine is not charity. it's a business of blood business because these weapons are supplied for the money allocated by, uh, congresses,

parliaments and americans to the nato states that supply weapons. they buy from themselves, that is, from their factories. this is a weapon for sure. money, well, for a lot of money, i must say, for example, the americans allocated 800 million dollars here, and then they deliver these weapons to ukraine and ukraine will then pay for these weapons, despite the fact that his m-m the russian army utilizes the news only of the last two days. norway supplies one hundred zenith missile systems. mistral britannia self-propelled stormer anti-aircraft guns and aircraft missiles, brimstone, used in libya and syria, the netherlands armored personnel carriers, israel helmets and bulletproof vests of the first russian special operation. only the united states sent ammunition and ammunition to ukraine in military equipment. more than $2.5 billion worth of ammunition, and the other day the pentagon announced the delivery of a new batch of

armored personnel carrier helicopters and switch blade mini-drones, which are called switchblades, this is a kind of flying grenade with a range of up to 60 km, in addition, pentago. he stated that the united states and its allies supplied kiev with fighter jets and spare parts for them. true, they did not specify from which country and which fighters arrived in ukraine, but then the defense department completely refuted their own statement about the supply of aircraft, as it turns out, it was about spare parts and components, washington's strategy is to supply most of the weapons to ukraine through the so-called re-export from eastern european countries, according to experts. the nato leadership is convincing its junior partners, like poland, slovakia, the baltic countries. to send obsolete weapons and equipment to ukraine, and in return to receive newer modern weapons, in this way nato rearms the countries of the alliance and american corporations. at the same time , they earn a huge income. who is war? who is the mother

of? most of the weapons that are now europeans supply primarily european states to ukrainians, but they still had to be replaced, that is, well, not in a few years, therefore, in any case, they had to either be shot during maneuvers and hobbies or exercises, or they needed either sell or transfer to some such party, it is very convenient for them now, firstly, to write off their expenses, given that these are purchases by the ministry of defense. they have long been paid for by the local budget. secondly, this is such a beautiful gesture in front of washington, because now washington is forcing its satellite partners and vassals to somehow show, at least in the foreign policy field, this love for ukraine, some kind of military-political support for the disposal of everything that the west supplies to ukraine, a difficult task, but doable with russian high-precision weapons ammunition columns of equipment and command

posts, without which this equipment loses all the meaning of the s-300 complex recently delivered by slovakia did not have time to make war, its location was calculated literally the next day and destroyed by a rocket salvo. the apu has another serious problem with the equipment that the west supplies to the ukrainian army in tanks for armored personnel carriers; by aircraft, anti-aircraft and missile systems require a lot of fuel. russian troops have already destroyed fuel storage facilities in odessa and nikolaev in zaporozhye and in lvov with pinpoint strikes, disabled the largest oil refinery in ukraine, the kremenchug oil refinery start of the special operation. vladimir zelensky reassured the army. mol. in the event of a shortage, oil will come from abroad by tankers, but today

it is unlikely that anyone will dare to get close to the port of odessa, which is still controlled by kiev, firstly, the black sea fleet controls the water area, and secondly, the ukrainian military themselves have mined the coastal zone , moreover, so that mines that have come off the cables have been caught more than once in turkish and romanian waters to satisfy the fuel hunger of the ukrainian army. could with the help of poland which promises to send columns of fuel trucks, but here it is worth remembering, where is syria?
