cherychkina are here today. she is on direct line evgenia hello, when will the new laws come into force. what other initiatives did the deputies consider today? the introduction of a single tax account is planned for january 2023, but this, of course, if the bill is approved by the senators of the upper house of parliament, in principle, today on the agenda of the plenary session quite a lot of issues began. about activities for 2021, a lively dialogue was held with parliamentarians, many questions were raised comments, of course, they also talked about the current agenda, for example, about the status of refugees who are now on the territory of the russian federation, as well as about protecting the rights of russian citizens who are being held captive in ukraine managed by common efforts to release 45 truckers, who today are 36 of

our sailors at home in russia. but today there are 77 more of our sailors, including. women, including people over 60 years of age, are illegally prevented from returning home. an international human rights organization has shown itself to be incompetent and their activities can only be spoken of with the prefix pseudo. today they are talking in the state duma commenting on the indifference of these organizations regarding the shelling of peaceful cities. donbass from the parliamentarians , a proposal was made to create a new international human rights organization that would be politically incorruptible and open to its creation. perhaps, for example, on the basis of brix we understand that there are two ways out, the first we we are talking today, as the united russia party, about alternative international human rights

organizations. we must already think about this today, because there is a strong oppression of our citizens abroad, there is a strong pressure, there is a real squeezing out of our citizens who are in other territories, but international organizations do not react to this in any way, but on the other hand. we must strengthen our institution of human rights ombudsman. the quality of the work of the commissioner for human rights on the current agenda, as well as on the results of 2021 highly appreciated by the representatives of the factions, i’ll say it’s not protocol and uh, without uh such a parliamentary human way, just a low bow to her, what a fine fellow and clever she is, when she met and she told what she was doing, including for our soldiers for refugees in connection with the conduct of a special military operation, but it was

hard to hear. she uh, everything. it pulls out on its fragile female shoulders, so many thanks to her. she is simply, well done. at this moment, the deputies are considering drafts on the execution of the federal budget for 2021, the minister of finance, anton siluanov, and the chairman of the bill to the chamber, alexei kudrin, have already made a report, who, by the way, noted that the implementation of budgets in the twenty-first year. uh, it's been the best in the last 5 years. in general, it can be stated that the measures taken have worked for the level of business activity in the economy. last year, i overcame the pandemic trend. you just gdp formed at the level of 4.7%, e, based on the year, and the recovery of the domestic economy took place more than dynamic compared to other g20 countries, which have a number of countries from which they have not reached the level of pandemics, despite the

increase in spending compared to 2020. for almost two trillion rubles, the accounts chamber noted the best execution of the budget for 5 years at the level of 97.5%, volume. executed budget and competitions which everyone usually think and say, uh, 645 billion rubles. still, it's a lot. although in the previous year there were even more than a trillion rubles, finally the year was not fulfilled. eh, those however, there is a good trend towards a decrease in unused balances. today, there are quite a lot of bills that deputies are considering in the third reading. the fact is that there is only a week left before the end of the current session. deputies, of course, are trying to consider as many important bills as possible so as not to leave them for the fall. so, for example, in the third reading today adopted a bill on the activity of agents. this intervention was throughout the entire existence of the russian empire the soviet union and the russian federation and this

intervention. today we feel both from the side of the usa and from the side of england from the country of other european states. every country must defend itself if it thinks about its future. we think about the future and make a decision solely in the interests of the citizens of our country of our state, so once again i want to emphasize that those who sing someone else's voice receive money for it must understand. foreign agent reading in the next few minutes the deputies will begin to consider draft law on the merger of the pension fund of the social insurance fund in the event of a merger of these structures. they say that the amount of payment to employees for sick leave on sick leave will also increase. from the age of 23, when the new

fund will already officially operate after all transitional periods, it will gradually increase payments in case of temporary disability. this is a sick leave, as people say and, uh, an allowance for those who are on parental leave, so from 23 to 25 there will be a gradual increase in one and a half times these payments compared to what would have been if this merger had not taken place. by this time, an agreement on basic relations with antigua and barbuda has already been ratified, cooperation is envisaged, including in the field of combating international terrorism. also, a bill has already been adopted to abolish the interpretation of education as a service. thank you for the work of the state duma today is following our correspondent evgenia chirochka. today at the central military hospital, sergei shoigu presented

continue service. now, in addition to the statements that are coming from ashgabat of the caspian five at this moment, it is worth increasing cooperation on prompt response to natural and man-made emergencies in the caspian sea, vladimir putin said this at the caspian summit. protection of the caspian sea here ukrainian troops are suffering significant losses filed now, in addition, the number of deserters in the ranks of the armed forces is growing, this was reported today in the russian minororot people of offensive actions in the area of ​​the lisichansk oil refinery, heavy losses were inflicted on the tenth city assault brigade of the armed forces of ukraine, according to the prisoners, military personnel in this brigade, the 108th battalion was completely defeated from 350 people of this unit. there were only 30 military personnel

operating in the lisichansk direction of the units, 115 mechanized 79th assault and 25th airborne troops of the armed forces. ukraine critical food situation due to famine, numerous cases of abandonment of positions and desertion are recorded, military personnel in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe settlement nursery of the kharkov region as a result of a russian artillery strike, destroyed up to 100 militants of the nazi kraken formation and about 10 days from military equipment of the command. not militants, decided to leave their positions and withdraw the remnants of the unit to the city of kharkiv stressed that the ukrainian authorities intend to make such statements. pay attention to those materials that were presented by the ministry of defense of the russian federation and also

supported on the platforms of international organizations by our foreign institutions. so these materials show several tens of meters. this very shopping center is the workshop of the kremenchug defense plant of road machines kredmash and it is in this place. kept, waived by the us european. uh, eu states armaments and ammunition for sending a group of apu in the donbass and maybe the western public will take an interest in their regimes. why supply and store weapons for and supplies in the immediate vicinity of the mall . no, such a question never came to mind. true, neither by a western correspondent, nor by western illegal organizations, nor by the very humanitarians who are so concerned about this situation.

uh, not around ukraine. yes, this question never came up. why once again i repeat the western regimes supply weapons to the territory of ukraine which are stored in the immediate vicinity of not just civilian infrastructure, but as the zelensky regime says, densely populated civil infrastructure, you see, this is already being done on purpose, this is what we call hiding behind the backs of civilians, putting them simply in the form of an invoice, simply using them as hostages of their geopolitical interests. so it was the workshops, and not the shopping centers and civilians, it was the workshops and warehouses that were destroyed by high-precision strikes by the russian aerospace forces social networks, meanwhile, videos have appeared in which

citizens express indignation, both at the placement of a weapons depot next to the shopping center, and at the fact that the shopping center continued to work after the air raid signal. when you, behind the shopping center on redmahia, arranged a warehouse with weapons and more supplies, you warned the citizens of kremenchuk that they now have strategic objects in the city center. and why the shopping center was open at the time of the siren, people were not kicked out of it. and why was he at all, in principle, open, where the military is. russia demanded that norway promptly resolve the issue of blocking the delivery of goods to our savings bank and warned that unfriendly actions against our country would inevitably lead to corresponding reciprocal worlds. today the russian foreign ministry summoned a

temporary chargé d'affaires of norway in moscow and handed over the corresponding note. let me remind you. norway refused to let the cargo for russian settlements through. our slacker at the border stuck tens of tons destined for our compatriots in moscow believe that oslo thereby violates the paris treaty. already without bergen from 1920. according to it, the parties recognize the sovereignty of norway over the archipelago, but only on the condition of unimpeded importation of goods by the country party to the agreement, what is in the containers that are stuck on the border and what is the situation in russian settlements now on the air of the fifth studio , our consul general of russia told us containers 20 tons of cargo all of them of these, seven tons of food products, the rest is all sorts of technical products. well for example, uh crankshafts and propellers for

the pyramid barge that operate here the barge is laid up until these parts arrive and can't perform the tasks necessary to keep u russian villages running. what about other channels? well, i can confirm that we are provided with food literally yesterday a container with food from europe arrived. which is enough, well, at least until august, that is, there is no shortage of hunger, but uh, there is. uh, the big problem is provision. uh, equipment and there is not enough coal for the mine and for the ships and for the car, including medical equipment. norway's refusal to allow the russian cargo to spitsbergen to pass violates human rights about this on the air of the program. fifth studio said the vice-speaker of the federation council konstantin kosachev norway, as you know

, under the paris treaty of 1920, our sovereignty of svalbard. the only, direct, in no way interpreted obligation of norway, uh, under the contract is to ensure the unhindered transit of any goods. e from participating countries treaty of paris on the archipelago. it's what it is now uh, it's it's not happening. in my opinion, this is a gross violation of the paris treaty, if we take the legal side. well, it’s simply immoral in terms of the possible consequences of such sanctions decisions, if they continue, in terms of the rights and interests of those people who work for us. another batch of russian diplomats left the united states and we are talking about 28 employees of our diplomatic mission, for whom the us authorities did not allow to send by plane details from our own correspondent in the us, denis davydov, for 28

russian embassy employees and their families - it will be a very long day. uh, today they were loading the bus before dawn. i was 5 o'clock in the morning when they started to get on the bus. uh, there was music, a march, farewell to the slavs and goodbye america, such songs. they left a similar ritual here to the russian embassy in washington in january, because i remind you that last year the american side notified our embassy that about 60 people leave the united states, the first batch had to leave before january 30th. they left in the winter. and now the second batch must leave the territory of the united states before june 30, what, in general? employees of the russian embassy do. it should be noted that in this batch, not only the diplomats of the american side did not extend the visas, for example, for the teachers of the embassy school, the visas for the doctors of

the embassy first-aid post were not extended. well, of course, for diplomats , not only employees, but also members of their families are leaving - this is a fairly large number of people, and given that there is no direct communication now due to well-known events between uh, russia and the united states, and moscow asked uh washington uh. to give permission for a special speech, so that a special plane flew in for employees, but at the last moment the state department literally refused and the embassy employees were forced to buy tickets. now such a rather hot season it was very difficult to fly. they are through e third countries, for example, in particular. here is the biggest the party that is leaving today. they fly through the emirates and their journey to moscow will take more than 20 hours, but everyone left in such a rather high spirits saying that they were flying home and for them it was a joy, of course, denis davydov and nikolai koshkin to report from the united states

, the president of bulgaria, romanian radio admitted that he did not know why 70 russian diplomats were declared persona nongrad in the republic to the corresponding question of journalists. he replied that he did not have the necessary information, but the head of state shifted the responsibility for the unfriendly step towards moscow to the acting prime minister. the president expressed the hope that the head of the cabinet had reliable information, and also carefully weighed all the grounds and consequences of this action. us increases military presence in europe at the nato summit in madrid , president joe biden announced plans to increase the number of rotational troops in the baltic countries . washington will also deploy additional air defense systems in italy and germany and in the united the kingdom will send two additional squadrons of f-35 fighters details from our european correspondent regina sevastyanova
