an unpleasant, extremely unpleasant incident, including an act of physical violence, insults, threats, in bilingual bilingual schools . services, including medical. uh, k. we began to receive appeals from citizens of russia , uh, we created such a mailbox and not only in the embassy, ​​but also in russian consular offices institutions that e exist in germany, where requests for protection would begin to come in . and we began to give advice and we began to give such advice. hmm, we encouraged our citizens to turn to law enforcement. do not hush up such

facts of such appeals. uh, they are not anonymous, they tried to accuse us of spreading some kind of fakes, deliberate misinformation, under each appeal there is a last name, first name and address, so all this is absolutely documented. we have for this irrefutable evidence. so. uh, it means that these appeals of our compatriots are taken, so to speak, so let's say so with a large grinding. uh, here are those who continue to communicate in russian, they began uh hmm means uh, come to law enforcement agencies to declare this. in general, they began to learn how to protect themselves and it happened quite effectively. uh, moreover, it means that there is official information, which was later

published by, uh, law enforcement agencies of the german criminal police department, where there were up to 200 such events per week. this especially happened in the first months after the beginning of the special operation. eh, everything. this was brought to the attention of law enforcement agencies and other departments. and i must say that it's all in the aggregate. e had some effect. uh, that is, uh, such manifestations, they went to coal. now we fix much less of this kind of appeals. eh, and i connect this with more than just the effectiveness of our efforts. well, the fact that hmm german politicians understood the danger of this whole thing, because language discrimination sign. this, in general, evokes all sorts of different

national principles. it is stuffed with all sorts of unpleasant historical handicrafts, because that's why the sensible politicians of germany began to act. claims that this kind of thing is unacceptable and now, uh , these kinds of cases, uh, are coming to naught. although we continue to keep it under control. and here sergeevich just the same, just the same, in connection with the fact that you say that e have begun to decline, er, to some decline yes, in the case of russophobia. eh, how comment on the fact that germany resumes accepting applications from citizens, er, from russian citizens for a visa for any purpose of travel, these are official statements on the website of the german embassy in moscow in particular. does this mean some warming of relations? or so all the same it is not necessary to speak, while. well, warming, while we can talk, only the weather there in germany is hot. as for the

thaw in political relations, until i begin to use such a term, but the fact that they began issuing visas for representative offices, including in russia, it is mainly due to the fact that temporary restrictions on entry e for citizens from third countries are being lifted due to the improvement of the sanitary and epidemiological situation, which, in the context of the coronavirus pandemic and in this regard, the german consular offices have resumed accepting documents. uh, including for issuing schengen visas to russian citizens, because we have the best years. hmm, if i'm not mistaken, more than 800,000 russians visited germany for tourism purposes. in addition, there are a lot of requests for private trips, because here we have already mentioned

a very significant, probably the largest russian-speaking diaspora. here is a very large russian world and which does not cut off the connection. e, including related cystolic. and so such mutual trips are naturally necessary. they were interrupted for almost 2 years. now it is being revived. in general, the trend is positive, but as a warming of bilateral relations. i would not say, but humanitarian ties. uh, thanks to uh mutual visa issuance. same with our side is happening. e, of course, will contribute. uh, hmm, the restoration of these humanitarian related means, then we move on to economic relations. they are not simple , too, very, very we are talking about anti-russian sanctions from berlin and, uh, they go sideways with germany itself. at least this is reported, including in the international press. here's an example, yes, thousands will become

unemployed headline germany reacts sharply to the imbargo of russian oil according to western media forecasts industry in the east of the country. maybe we are talking about an oil refinery in the city of shved on the oder. he has to cut his job and lose his jobs 1.200 employees. there are 2,000 people at the plant itself in related enterprises and several tens of thousands. at least that's what the family says. in this region of germany, in general, in the east, they will also be deprived of their jobs, because this plant supplies jet fuel to berlin international airport and, uh, gas stations in the east of germany in this region. here's how you comment on such stories and it turns out that the sanctions really hit, on the germans themselves. yes, it really is. so this statement is absolutely true that the anti-russian sanctions imposed by the european union, including germany, which actively supported them, they certainly damage both the german industry

and ordinary citizens. this applies not only to the eastern lands, which are oriented towards the consumption of energy from energy resources from russia . more from the soviet union but this is in general the german economy is concerned, because now, too, according to official data, i will not spread any fakes, inflation is approaching 8%, uh, the rise in food prices exceeds 13.6 there , electricity prices are growing at a very significant pace, there are more than 20 per cent. petrol and diesel. this can be seen in dynamics at gas stations, and moreover, this is not the limit. or, if we believe the assessments of the same german e-experts, the rejection of russian energy carriers, which is now, so to speak, actively

there is talk of shutting off oil supplies completely, uh, essentially cutting off russian gas, that's all, maybe, uh, very serious in the future, and some experts say, i'm talking in quotation marks , catastrophic consequences and not only for private households, but also for leading industrial giants, so now it is very difficult to write a special. otherwise, like the well-known phrases of a childish character on a spiteful grandmother. here he froze his ears. uh, moreover, in the literal sense of the word, because russia has always been conscientious reliable supplier and energy resources. never gave reason to doubt that we did not fulfill any contracts and our obligations. here, but about the fact that, so to speak, attempts in an emergency mode to destroy trade and economic ties that have been established for decades, including in the east of germany back in the former gdr, this, of course

, leads to an increase in the cost of basic goods and services and an increase in the cost of production and a concomitant increase in prices for end products, therefore. therefore , everyone here understands. remember vladimir vladimirovich at the st. petersburg economic forum, he spoke about the so-called putin inflation. here are the ordinary germans. they understand that the origins of uh, rising prices and inflationary trends in germany, they are not of russian origin and understand who introduced the males. and of course this is uh, a general positive euphoria. eh, it doesn't call at all. so, just the same , you switched to you energy carriers, the permanent representative of russia to the eu says that the nord stream can be stopped the words of vladimirovich yezhov just the same at the st. petersburg international economic forum, but they are connected with problems with the repair of turbines for the nord stream gas pipeline,

which will be repaired in canada not in germany, but in canada, and now, according to heavy germans, germany should learn how to repair turbines on its own territory. otherwise, it will be. that's really a disaster for e germany here. uh, is this topic coming up in burley please don't tell me, well, this is now i would say, probably the most discussed topic in berlin and not only in berlin but also in the regions or mainly among the population, because e feeling, let's say the specific consequences of energy deficiency, they affect the average layman. well the man in the street, as we say, because the increase in hmm uh electricity prices. here's gasoline gasoline diesel, than we have already said, it hits the pocket. here is an ordinary citizen, indeed, gas supplies to germany have fallen from here we were forced to reduce by 40%, because according to the contract. this siemensan turbine was supposed to be repaired in

canada, and apparently it is still located there, moreover, according to an official statement from the government of germany, it is negotiating with the government of canada on how to solve this issue. so i would not like to say that we are now completely there; i do not have such data that we will completely block it. e gas screen, but the reduction is already happening. and this , again, is not our fault, we need to negotiate with canada on our german partners so that all this equipment returns on time, and then all volumes will be restored, but in general, as for gas prices, which, uh, hmm now on spot markets. as you can see, it ’s not russia’s fault, and here we, uh, our european partners started the same thing a long time ago in

order to abandon long-term contracts, according to which the prices for our gas are much lower than those, uh, that are on the exchange , and in transition conditions. to renewable energy sources and means to phase out our energy sources. naturally, prices have crept up, and in this, so to speak, no, there is nothing surprising, these are their own miscalculations. we are not here at all at what. now, against the backdrop of an energy shortage, and since the gas storage is now only 57% filled in germany, and it must be up to 90%, this is legally required by autumn, various options are being sought and discussed. how to compensate ? it is, of course, environmentally not

so clean, to put it mildly, and this does not fit into the climate agenda. harmless economy, but more than that , there is talk of not returning to nuclear energy, from which germany has practically already left. and if there are any technical possibilities in this respect. in general, all this is actively discussed. that's all. this is the result of an ill-conceived sanctions. well, and the energy policy of our european partners, sergey yuryevich , let's turn to the question of strategic security. here , please comment on the really scandalous scandalous statement of the commander of the german air force, inga gerhar. he said that the north atlantic alliance should be ready to use nuclear weapons against russia if necessary. according to him, an emergency situation could allegedly arise at any moment and

supposedly. moscow may be the first to inflict a nuclear strike on ukraine, and in this case gerharts says that the nato countries should answer this despite the fact that moscow has repeatedly. naturally stated that what about the application? well, this is a weapon, perhaps only as a response to a similar attack, and there will be no winners in a nuclear conflict. uh, nato conflict russia vladimir putin said that russia is one of the leading nuclear powers. and for some components it even outstrips many. the winners will not be quoted by the president in this context. what does the bravado of a german general look like? surprised. uh, when i read these statements. hmm, i wouldn't even rule out that it was somehow misrepresented. hmm, that's the media and the words. uh, in general, a high-ranking german soldier who, in my opinion. uh, could not allow such things and intimidate their own population is incomprehensible

the main thing. on what grounds have we given no reason for this. you have just said the statements of vladimir vladimirovich putin, and we have repeatedly spoken out at all political levels about nuclear weapons, so it seems to me that these statements of the general are somewhat careless. i try to speak softly and absolutely counterproductive, except for some fears, the german society is afraid. it won't lead to anything. thank you very much sergey yurievich thank you very much for your comments with us. on communication was sergey nechaev, the russian ambassador to germany now, we are going to tnr and hieromonk feofan , priest of the holy dormition nicholas vasilevsky monastery, father feofan, is getting in touch with us via video link. and we know

that you posted a video of the shelling on the internet. in donetsk, the recent very serious shelling spoke a lot about this. please tell us how your parishioners feel about what is happening, how they endure these shelling because of nato- style weapons, what people say and were there any cases when parishioners were simply hiding from shelling, perhaps in the building of the monastery itself. tell me, please. well, my monastery is located about 70 km from donetsk, as if there were constant shelling. i am in donetsk. that's why i was able to go there and witness this shelling, but a very heavy shelling. ah, density. the fire was such that only explosions of shells, the whole city was covered in smoke, ah, explosions, here are the parishioners. in general, i’ll just say for my fellow countrymen who we are residents of donetsk well, people who hide, who don’t hide, it refers to it differently. well, it is

almost not afraid. i mean, it's a habit. yes, it 's already worked out. if i may say so during the time i was shooting this video, young people were driving in a car with loud music and shouting that they were celebrating something. here. well, that is, some crazy can even be in places. it's already fun, father. ivan, please tell me, if we talk, he falls down on the ukrainian orthodox church from kiev, we know that there are many of them. i'll bring here one of the last examples. well, this is really some kind of direct sequential war, probably, one can say so. recently, an unknown person in lviv set fire to the church of st. uh, they closed the doors, poured polyurethane foam and insulting inscriptions were on the walls. eh, and even the authorities of lvov allegedly raised questions of the legality of the construction of this temple in general. in general, there is direct opposition here. here, in your opinion hmm what is the fate of temples in c and how in general in

of the ukrainian orthodox church refers to such insulting and egregious attacks? uh, well , of course, it refers to this uh, it hurts a lot when this happens. well, unfortunately , the attitude towards orthodoxy in western ukraine has always been very difficult, because there is always a population closer to planning and practically orthodox. eh, in most cases they are perceived as someone else's bow, and even more so now in the light of the current split that has come. uh, then, of course, even more appear on such provocative situations, when temples are seized, when temples are burned. and in our donbass, in particular, temples are being shelled. eh, it's even more surprising that, let's say. here, uh, mine, you see, or in nikolskoye, an ombr named after prince vladimir monomakh

of the holy uh is shelled, that is, this does not prevent them from burning temples and demolishing them. ah, monasteries. it's not a problem for them there. thank you. thank you father feo. he was in touch with us, ermanakh. theophan, the priest of the holy dormition nicholas vasilevsky monastery, we are moving to the liberated svetlodar with us on connections. now maxim kozlovsky is literally on the eve. he was appointed head of the administration by denis pushilin's decree. svetlodarsk. maxim sergeevich hello, first of all, congratulations on your appointment, of course, and secondly, just point by point, what is the most important thing you intend to do? what are the first plans for e, improving the situation in the city. what needs to be done first of all? good day work. in fact, there is a lot to be
