defense minister sergei shoigu presented the gold star of the hero of russia to the ceo of the almaz antey concern and yan novikov for their outstanding contribution to the country's defense capabilities. diamond anta, let me remind you, is developing and manufacturing

s -300 s-400 s500 anti-aircraft and anti-missile defense systems and others. fulfilled their duty. i hope you will continue to defend our country with confidence and reliability. i am the independence of its citizens in all that you do. this is already history. so keep writing this story as your own. personal and national history. i congratulate you from the bottom of my heart, very much. i hope that you will return your units and after the end of this operation alive and well. the eu council approved the seventh package of eu sanctions against russia, which includes a partial embargo on gold, expanding the list of prohibited dual-use goods, as

well as expanding the list of russian individuals and legal entities subject to restrictions , said the head of the european commission, orsula fondeland, and all current sanctions against russia at the same time, they were extended until the end of january 23, the european union continues the policy of anti-russian sanctions. despite the fact that they are causing more and more harm, primarily to the population of european countries, this is how the presidential press secretary dmitry peskov commented on the adoption of the new sanctions package by brussels. we see that the european union prefers to compulsively adhere to those sanctions that harm their own interests, and, most importantly, not so much their interests. and how much harm to their population, which begins to obviously suffer from of these sanctions from the consequences that these decisions of the european union cause . americans are much more pragmatic in this regard, they very quickly, using their flexible system, introduce licenses

that provide for the removal of sanctions, where it is beneficial to the united states themselves, the european bureaucracy, which in terms of its volume. uh, it exceeds the volume of soviet foolishness even more viscous, and uh, this lingering and eu system does not allow them to quickly vilify any adjustments. europe is suffering from this, but, to unfortunately, reality, and this, the course of events that the europeans themselves choose. prime minister mikhail mishustin called today to restore the machine tool industry during his trip to izhevsk , the head of government, together with deputy prime minister minister of industry and trade denis manturov, visited the kalashnikov concern

. very important. today you showed injection molding, which is an alternative traditional method, and material processing mechanic processing. this is the most important direction of a complex geometric shape. materials. it will be possible to produce very quickly. it's great that today you are doing an expansion program with the cop, as e necrophs and opportunities to be a center of competence in a completely different direction and, which is very important, are engaged in tank building. anyway, in this sense, machine tool building is the focus of our attention, when you spoke in the soviet union , you remember how we developed and today everything is lost competencies. it is necessary not only to restore, but it is necessary today. to set ambitious goals is recovering the machine tool industry in all directions and to ensure the most important task, which is the regulation of conflicts. the most important thing is protecting the people who live in transnistria on the

banks, including 220,000 citizens of the russian federation, so i, too, to the operation is unique in terms of its success, one of the elements of the guarantee of this success. yes, this melodic operation is very positive both for the residents and for many residents of moldova factor. what will they say that the leadership, of course, of the republic of moldova is political. vitaly viktorovich, however, now, as i understand it, he is passing this anniversary in such a difficult situation. uh, the tension was quite so serious a while ago. now the situation seems to have calmed down somewhat. i mean, this is a provocation from ukraine and so on. here's how things are going for you right now. unfortunately, it's still quite difficult. we have an increased level of tourist threat, we are still making every effort to prevent further remaining without

stabilization. a and. i have repeatedly included that the situation, which, let's say, has developed at the present time. it really has a certain challenge, because the operation provided no, for 30 years, but today the republic of moldova, at an accelerated pace, is engaged in an inventory of its native forces. why do it? the question is open, who threatens moldova is also an open question, it is obvious that no one moldova is a party to the conflict and with taking into account the fact that one of the terrorist attacks, namely the attempt to set fire to the military registration and enlistment office on may 13 this year, was with the participation of representatives of moldova, this was established by the investigation. we even detained one of the performers. it is clear that the moldovan side. well, let's say, uh, he is hatching a certain unfriendly plan and attitude towards the murders, including if we recall the statement that russia is an occupier country, that it is necessary to withdraw from the army to dismantle my operation points and so on. this adds unevenness and in addition to objective

some factors and factors of ukraine are the actions of our closest neighbor, with whom we are at war before the jura, until 10 years the mechanism there is no stable final regulation yet. they are a factor in the tension of the regional situation and are very much concerned about my own how to find out and called on at the presidential level. e international participants format again plus two to show goodwill. uh, spoke out in support of the peace of security for action in order to well give additional guarantees peace of mind to the people, who live here, and how to help look for political ways out of e. we are counting on a positive reaction to this conflict situation that has developed for more than 30 years. although just yesterday we got acquainted with the action. the profile structures of moldova, which, as it were, the idea and the call for peace, did not really like the moldovan side, they really liked the call for peace. it’s interesting what they

liked and i understand that, but these plans of a-and moldova to enter the eu, well, in some distant future, apparently, but nevertheless they should have to somehow set the moldovan authorities to be more peaceful. eh, the mood and somehow resolve this issue, because it is unlikely that there will want to take their ranks, but a country that has an unregulated and, in fact, a state, in fact, of war. what did you just say? do you think that this factor and the eu can still play its game? in fact, of course, this political decision is resonant, in our opinion, the frontier yes, the moldovan leadership has decided that it is leading there in the direction of european integration. i am now i will not evaluate the prospects, taking into account that the young one lives in a million-billion-dollar romania and all the leadership are citizens of romania, his head is the amount of unstable relations with nato , the strategic plan of 2006 was signed, to this day, they are implementing it. and the army of the young is translated by nato standards. today, they no longer hide. i mean the leaders of moldova

, including the state secretary of the defense department. moldova stated that moldova today is receiving small arms in plans to receive some systems and so on. modernization is underway. the so -called army in reality. this is militarization and , against this background, chisinau in my opinion, crosses out the prospects for political regulation, because they unilaterally submit an application and receive the status of a candidate for the offensive of european means not within the context of the transnistrian settlement. that is, no one not citizens of moldova or transnistria we have an instrumental process, the format is a major permanent meeting. all this is done unilaterally. such the feeling that pridnestrovie could try to distance itself as much as possible to break any ties, and in fact, probably, chisinau is not going to ask for a background, how it will be. although we open dialogue. we had seven official distractions of the presidents to the moldovan leadership all at the negotiating table. you will solve all problems peacefully through agreements, by uh,

resolving issues in the interests of the people, but, nevertheless, the moldovan side pretends not to notice the factor of this medical regulation and engage in certain political activities, of course. this is an obvious element for stabilization. what kind of common spaces can we talk about, if chisinau is already essentially burning all these bridges with political decisions and what they are doing today is refusing to have a normal dialogue at all levels, yes, and at the same time militarizing their army and this, of course, are very disturbing signals. viktorovich well, your president vadim krasnoselsky proposed after all this new 5 + 2 format and sign a new document about the security guarantee. you have partially answered this question. and yet. and what is in this, and the document should be some words that would reassure you, because we know. here, following the example of ukraine's neighbors and so on, and european words that promised not yanukovych

that they would resolve everything peacefully and the next day he was almost killed, all this was torn apart, so what agreements can european authorities have. well, or there, i don’t know, with what e americans and so on. here in such conditions. will it paper is worth at least what it says about what all participants need insane participants in the f2 format clear. why are they calling on all participants in this format to use exclusively peaceful methods, i remind you that pridnestrovie traces of these kraks go to ukraine and moldova, and ukraine is one of the participants in the format, this is all an intermediary of moldovanness, the side itself is also a participant in the format, therefore, we it is very important to see a certain political reaction and a clear and unequivocal answer. are they even ready to call and it’s not necessary to sign something, it can be decorative, as if such a symbolic thing, calling on the parties, and at the same time, these are elements of

the responsibility of budgetary participants who call on also say that they bring efforts, where they admit an escalation of tension, judging by the first signals from our initiative. many. i like this situation. hardly. probably they will even be ready to call, so, probably, we'll see in the very near future, i won't run into it. forward. let's see, it remains whether this is a rhetorical appeal and yet we see some kind of positive constructive reaction from other participants. of course, we do not need documents that are not executed, but we need responsibility. other partners, including chisinau, are registered as, uh, counter-partners in that. they fully accept responsibility at the current moment and are ready not to use any unilateral destructive forces. this is probably the main meaning of our initiative and our limit. and vitaly viktorovich well, what am i i understand your diplomatic efforts to escalate the conflict or a possible conflict, but

respect and good luck to you in your work, but nonetheless. as i understand it, the transnistrian authorities still need to prepare for the worst case scenario, but this is a topic for a separate discussion. now i thank you, and thank you very much. uh, vitaly viktorovich, let me remind you that the head of the ministry of foreign affairs of transnistria, vitaly, was in direct contact with us.

now we’ll talk about the results of the industry’s work for the first half of the year, but it’s precisely in this time of the year we are actively preparing for the autumn-winter period, so the second question. how is this work going in terms of the readiness of the large energy sector? vladimirovich would like to thank you for the constant attention and support from all sectors of the fuel complex for all those decisions on instructions that contribute to the formation and correct energy policy and adaptation of the

russian energy sector to a new challenge, if uh means the performance of industries for the first half of the year compared to the last six months, it must be said that of russia despite the fact that today work in these economic realities, in fact, there is an adaptation. well, the challenge showed us, in principle, good mining results. for 6 months, increase last year's market by 3.4% electricity production by 1.9% is electricity consumption, as well as about the same amount higher coal production e is about the same level as last year's production of auto gasoline diesel fuel, even 4.5% higher last year for gas for well- known reasons, while minus 5%, but the tournament the market is stable, and consumers are provided with all types of energy resources. and no problems all the

way. no, we already started working a few months ago on the winterization theme . and this is one of our rarities of today's work and we are preparing for this difficult period. and i understand that ours, for example, are partners. uh, unfriendly countries. they are nervously anticipating this. difficult period, and we are working on the basis of our plans. e schedules in normal mode, which means that e schedule plans are formed based on analytics, past rfp and those instructions that were issued when they were evaluated in december last year. readiness. this is a serious document with instructions, because it provided for work on the consolidation of this mismanaged network of ours. and on improving reliability, those decisions hmm and so on and on

financing programs related to improving reliability. e varieties of his complex, because there are still problems with him. what would you like to dwell on here, if you go through the fundamental points of preparing for winter? we don't have the first we will have no problems with the accumulation of all the reserves of fuel of the main emergency reserve, we will not have problems with pumping gas from underground storage facilities. today, the injection level is 81% of the saline level, which we should reach in november, the month of participation in the repair. we have applied a more flexible repair planning system, that is, the transition to repair actions according to the technical condition, and not according to the repair plan, is faster and more qualitatively special attention. we pay attention to the work of imported gas turbine units. this topic is being discussed by shirokov. we have them and with a total

volume of 22 gb, she understands that we have a-a excess of the actual reserve over the standard and 70 is 3. but still, we developed an algorithm. e resource management of such e installations , and even there is one of the options for moving the installation from the power plant, which today can do without them to those nodes where it is needed? well, the same time of work on the seven-wire under the implementation of your order for spare parts for equipment. and the most important thing is the organization of service by service with us, uh, those the companies that you manufacture today, innovative at the trp, they will also organize the service, there are other companies that also seek to sell for the service. eh, including, that's why i risked so far i don't see any. that is, we must somehow last year by winter restore those lines that suffered from fire a and from the heating flood today. uh,

about 700 more axes have been fired. well , there will be heating ahead of us in the far east, but our task is to check luck able. here, of course, there are problems in hydrology this year. very low flow through the military-shushenskaya hydroelectric power station in terms of water accumulation, and its composition is useful 61% of the average long-term value and the flow rate is twice lower, but the situation is the same for white. this is a tributary of the lena and along the krasnoyarsk and what are we doing hmm, just uh. today, we have already calculated the additional volume of fuel at the thermal metro station in order to ensure a reduction in drug turnover. ags is still a special topic under control - this is a cauldron, supply and supply. uh, crimea and kaliningrad is not yet ready to be ready to work in an isolated mode, issues of fuel supply, also river using and

underground, marshal osinsky's absenteeism and the purchase of another gas carrier were stored. as for the crimea , after the cessation of gas production chernomor neftegaz e us. the volume of the decision taken is to pump additional gas, e.g., to the gleb gas storage facility so that more active gas is available to cover the peaks and leave the gas completely in the system of krasnodar, crimea. the option with the ministry of finance and from the republic is working on a very serious task of preparing the republics of the dpr for the winter and liberating the liberated territories. we are working on the direction and preparation for winter and on the restoration of lines and main lines, as well as power supply centers connecting the republics, so a lot of work is being done here and it is

only increasing with special control. this is training for the adjacent regions of the bryansk belarusian region, where they also have it. e network damage. structures with these actions and means. we are constantly engaged in restoration there. in winter, too, it is necessary to ensure the preparation of the northern delivery of problems, no contracts have been concluded. uh, scheduled deliveries are coming. and in august. we have to start already checking the readiness of the districts starting in august, let's say the assessment and should pass to ourselves in the first four months there was a decrease in production. no, not all products. yes, but now i understand that the situation has increased. i, too, plus 5%,

yes, almost five years and the volume of oil for export. they are also yes, yes, electricity production and consumption, but the country is growing and growing. now uh, here's the last month i'm a little bit uh, began to slow down the growth rate. here the last month was plus 0.4%, but first, if you take this is 2%. i think that we will leave the weather somewhere in one and a half. well, if 10 changes, yes, your car is worth it. we expect growth to continue anyway. this is what they led to the internet of production and consumption. well, consumption of production should be just exhaustion vladimir putin met with russian energy minister nikolai shulginov russian air defense forces shot down another ukrainian mi-8 helicopter, as well as five enemy drones, and during the special operation to protect the donbass, they

said at a briefing at the ministry of defense the armed forces of the russian federation continues a special operation in ukraine, the enemy suffers significant losses, according to updated data, as a result of a strike on july 16 by high-precision weapons of the russian aerospace forces at the point temporary deployment of nationalists in the recreation center empire in the village of konstantinovka, odessa region , more than 600 militants were liquidated, including up to 120 foreign mercenaries. according to updated data, as a result of a high-precision strike on july 17 at the point of temporary deployment of a unit of the armed forces of ukraine on the territory of the vegetable base in the city of nikolaev, more than 320 nationalists were killed against the backdrop of significant losses in eastern ukraine mobilized into the ranks of the armed forces. in ukraine , residents of the western regions refuse to go to the donbass, as do the military personnel of the 100th territorial defense brigade in gorodets near the volyn region. in full force, the command of the armed forces refused to participate in hostilities

the european union approved the seventh package of sanctions against

russia, but this time the document does not apply to energy supplies, and the deputy prime minister of spain has already called the facilitation of the resumption of gas supplies via nord stream, my colleague learned how the energy crisis is fueling a split in europe maria kudryavtseva maria good afternoon. which countries are against reducing gas consumption? good afternoon alexander has already spoken out against spain , portugal and hungary have approved the weight of the seventh package of sanctions, but there are more and more disagreements between the prime ministers. italy mario dragi. resigned from the post of head of government. and this time he really leaves on the eve of the italian senate formally expressed confidence in the prime minister, however, a number of the party, the ruling coalition from participating in the vote, the earlier party of the movement refused. five the stars also refused to participate in another vote, when the 23 billion euros were discussed in the branch. assistance to inflation-affected citizens and companies split in europe fuels

the energy crisis gas is becoming more expensive, however, as russian president vladimir putin recalled in iran, the west itself provoked a rise in prices by abandoning oil and gas from russia last year, gas in europe cost 100 e euro per 1.000. rub. in the first half of last year 250 today well 1700 euros for 1.5 or investment. uh, in the main capital in the traditional energy industry fell because of earlier political decisions, banks do not finance insurance companies insure. uh, local authorities do not allocate pipeline sites for new developments and other transport is not being developed. here is the result of a policy that has been going on for many decades. so, this is where it all

started. at the same time, vladimir putin recalled that gazprom is fulfilling all obligations and today gas transportation through nord stream has resumed at a level of 40% of full capacity, moreover, with the readiness of brussels russia could increase supplies to europe through nord stream 2. however, this gas pipeline did not receive the necessary licenses. now half of the volume of gas that was supposed to go. through it, export went to the domestic market for consumption and processing, meanwhile europeans. now they are preparing for the winter without russian gas, according to the forecasts of the european commission, a complete shutdown will lead to a reduction in eu gdp by one and a half percent brussels proposes to reduce consumption by 15% from the average level over the previous 5 years, however, against some countries have already spoken, including spain portugal and hungary the proposal

of the european commission is neither the most effective nor the most efficient not the most fair we will resist imposing obligations that exceed our capabilities and those of other eu partners on the 26th the spanish delegation to the european energy council will protect the interests of all spaniards will offer solidarity effective and we hope a coordinated course of action europe continues to pump gas into its underground storage. today. they are about 60% full. however, the authorities have already calculated that this will not be enough for the winter period, and it is unrealistic to reach the target of 80% in the current conditions. germany is now, on the contrary, forced to take fuel from reserves in order to meet the needs of its industry. birit announced the results of a survey 62% of german residents began to wash less often and faster, and the head of the country's foreign ministry explained the need to repair turbines for russia by the danger of popular unrest. in case of termination gas supplies will rise, it is inevitable to introduce

ordinary measures. to limit the forced say will be ranked by a company who has no gas or thousands to try, therefore called rationing, the use can lead to restrictions on the utility sector for supply. there, let's say hot water and hot water temperatures in portugal, to the proposal to reduce gas consumption by 15% , they answered that this decision does not take into account differences between countries, as analysts say , the term energy poverty has already appeared in europe and relaxation in coal or nuclear energy, without russian gas will not help. the only clear outlook for europe is the potential worsening of the current energy crisis. the crisis is escalating as europe lacks gas with almost 12 countries either completely cut off from russian gas supplies or receiving reduced

volumes. at the same time, gas accounts for almost 24% of the energy that is consumed in the eu, and 40% of the gas to the continent comes from russia, such volumes cannot be replaced quickly today approved new 7 package of sanctions against russia restrictions apply to russian gold. we are also talking about new measures of export control and the freezing of an asset in sberbank. however, not energy issues, nor food issues. the document is not affected by the edition or ofigara. banker philippe vilen said that the company continues to record rising costs, and the cost of energy in europe will constantly be much higher than anywhere else, and as a result, anti-russian sanctions, according to vilen, lead the west to death. yes mary what interesting, europeans will have to do it less often and faster in the near future thanks maria kudryavtseva spoke about the gas crisis in europe in southern

turkey today the construction of the fourth power unit of the russian-turkish nuclear power plant was launched on the site, the ceremony of pouring the first concrete was held, so now the province of mersin on the south coast of turkey all four power units are being built simultaneously. npp elizaveta khramtsova. assess the scale of what is happening. now we can confidently say that this is the largest nuclear construction site in the world. we are now we are working on the site where the ceremony of the solemn beginning of pouring took place. yes, they gave orders. here, by pressing such a symbolic button, start pouring the first concrete. this means that now the foundation of the fourth power unit is already in the grounds. the material has already gone in official reports. bg has already indicated that nuclear construction is underway. here in turkey, alexei likhachev, the head of the rosatovs, today emphasized the great role of the working man of labor in his welcoming speech, and

here, after all, at the solemn ceremony not only construction managers and representatives of rosatom and the turkish authorities were present, including those people who, in difficult conditions in winter in very strong winds and in summer with forty-degree heat, work to ensure that this facility is commissioned on time and really. so, despite all the difficulties that have occurred in the global world in recent years, it is proceeding exactly on schedule.
