and movement along the azov and black seas in any direction natalia solovyova will tell about everything in more detail on the verge of hunger, but the food crisis did not appear today, the prerequisites were still during the pandemic, the president spoke about this in interview with the author and host of the program moscow kremlin putin pavel zarubin, we now see attempts to shift, if for what is happening on the world food market. problems emerging problems in this market to russia i must say that this is hmm but this is an attempt, as our people say, to shift, uh, a sore head to health, the short-sighted policy of the west in the energy sector, the situation, which had already worsened over 2 years of the pandemic, was exacerbated by growth energy prices was only the beginning, as the chain pulled the cost of fertilizers, a significant part of which is produced by russia and belarus, at the risk of being completely

left without a crop for part of the agricultural enterprise. in europe, we were forced to close our fertilizers, the world market immediately climbed the price of both fertilizers and food. because if there is no fertilizer, there is no necessary volume of formation of all economic products. this is absolutely not far-sighted misguided. i'm just stupid. this is a policy that leads to a dead end, abandoning russian fertilizers, the battle for the future harvest in its field the collective west will obviously lose, so he joined the battle for ukrainian reserves. those same 20 million tons of grain are blocked in ports. and which allegedly does not allow russia to withdraw putin called these statements a bluff. we mined the approach to the port. this ukraine mined. i have already said many times, to all our colleagues. well, let them clear mines and please let the ships in. uh, with uh grain loaded grain comes out of sports. we guarantee their peaceful

passage without any problems, and the second there is another possibility. yes, from the port of the sea of ​​azov. uh, berdyansk e. mariupol is under our control. we are ready to provide e. no problematic export, including the ukrainian company, you can export grain from this port through romania poland, the simplest belarus, but for this you need to lift sanctions from belarus this is not our question, but in any case, uh, the president of belarus considers the question exactly, . if someone wants to solve the problem, if it exists at all, of the export of ukrainian grain, please, the easiest way to communicate. no one interferes through belarus. yes, so there is no export problem. this conversation with the president took place in sochi immediately after the meeting of the head of state with representatives of the african union. one of the key issues was the food crisis. and in particular , they discussed the supply of russian wheat.

about 800 million tons of grain are produced annually in africa. the president focused his attention. in the total volume of food, wheat makes up only 20%, and the share of ukrainian does not exceed half a percent. russia has much more opportunities already this year the country is ready to increase exports from 37. in tons of grain to 50, vladimir putin said what else the president said in an exclusive interview with the author and host of the moscow kremlin putin program pavel zarubin, see this sunday natalya solovyova to export up to 50. ukrainian militants continue to use for criminal purposes schools at home and hospitals new facts led to the national defense control center according to his chief. mikhail mizintseva. in the city, the golden unit of the apu was turned into firing points apartment buildings of residents hold forces and stop attempts to evacuate, but the still occupied territories of the dpr in kramatorsk were captured by neo-nazis by a machine-building lyceum, a

are also different, there are long-range means of the middle near native, karachay-cherkessia, mourning a commemorative rally is held on one of the main squares for relatives the loss of the head of the family, the irreparable loss and great pain of relatives on the square, an award is presented to batashev’s fault, which he received posthumously, died while performing his military civic duty, like all our soldiers, he defended the interests of russia and his people, who will keep the memory of his heroes. kanomat batashev graduated from the yeisk higher military aviation institute under his command, previously there was a bomber regiment of the air division. the rank of major general, he received back in 2008, and in 2010 he graduated from the academy of the general staff of his biography, there were also difficult moments that he did not hide after the crash bitch-27. he ended up under investigation in 2013 and took the blame and left the armed forces so as not to expose other bandages, he was very bored. and now he returned to a private military company this year. we continue the last journey of our comrade. hero of the russian

great importance to relations with africa and deliberately develop them in various areas . and the head of the commission of the union from chad, massaf akima hamamat, both wearing masks, but when they saw that putin demon quickly removed them, russia and the countries of africa always connected special relations hope there for moscow and now in the light of the food crisis threatening the world. putin stressed that russia has always supported the countries of the continent. at least remember that our country has always been on the side of africa, has always supported africa in its struggle against colonism. we are in a new stage of development, conveying great importance. e. our relations with the americans. our trade turnover has been growing in the first months of this year. it grew by more than 34 percent. thank you very

much. mr. president, indeed. russia played a huge role regardless of the african continent and the continent will not forget this. we are also here today to talk about the crisis in ukraine and its consequences. sanctions against russia have further exacerbated this situation. right now we don't have access to grains from russia, especially wheat. and most importantly, we do not have access to fertilizers, all these are the consequences of western sanctions imposed by russian transport companies, belarusian and russian fertilizer manufacturers, the port and europe for our ships closed, wreaking havoc on an already disrupted pandemic supply chain. as a result, grain prices skyrocketed, and world wheat stocks, according to international agencies, remained 10 weeks of secrets, and therefore the attention of the whole world was riveted to these negotiations in sochi. europe habitually accuses russia of the current situation, saying that the russian navy does not release bulk carriers with ukrainian grain, but

moscow has repeatedly emphasized the ports mined by the ukrainian military and as soon as they clear the territorial waters from mines, the ships of the navy will ensure the unhindered passage of dry cargo ships to the open sea, however, kiev again demonstrates its inability to negotiate, and the west traditionally covers everything literally this morning i talked with my colleague from the african union commission. and i told him that there are two main problems. this is a crisis and sanctions. we need to work together to resolve precisely these two problems so that food products. in particular, grain and fertilizers were withdrawn from the lifting sanctions. sanctions in the field of food and its delivery tried to achieve and the secretary general. antonio is telling you, but so far the west, concerned about the threat of world hunger, is not thinking of canceling the restrictions, but on the contrary, it is introducing everything new among them, disconnecting the russian agricultural bank from the swift payment exchange system. as a result, it turns out. even if there is something to deliver the wheat and the payment is ready, there may be problems with the transfer of money. what the head of the african union directly indicated in his message to the leaders of european

countries, if there was a failure in the swift system, then you you won’t be able to buy the product because you won’t be able to pay. even with this product, the african union includes 55 states that are determined to defend their national interests, including, of course, food security, and the role of africa in the international arena in political terms is growing. we believe that africa as a whole is a separate state, with which we traditionally have very kind without any friendly relations. it has great prospects and it is precisely on this basis that we intend and further develop our relations with africa in the rear with individual states. as a result, the meeting at the residence of the russian president lasted almost three hours, and as a result of negotiations with vladimir putin, the leaders of the african union are going to inform the leaders of khristenko maria radimova. in russia, industrial centers will be created to replace foreign digital technologies, such an

instruction was given to the prime minister of the mishustin conference. in nizhny novgorod, it is assumed that participation in the organization of the centers will be representatives of leading companies in the industry on other statements maria slobodyanskaya. the key to the development of all sectors of the country's economy, but it is impossible to imagine the security of systems without russian software, the development of its markets and the support of manufacturers were discussed at the central plenary session of the seventh conference and the digital industry of industrial russia, the digital maturity of russian enterprises, as prime minister mikhail mishustin said in recently increased, but the current level is still not enough the assessment of the digital maturity of the organization of the industry in the first quarter of last year, by the way, was 35%, and for the same period of the current year already 44%, based on such an audit. for each specific enterprise, their own must be selected.
