so vladimir alekseevich chizhov continues to discuss with us directly how the western countries support the kiev regime, they are trying to agree on such a collective demonization of russia. vladimir alekseevich here is the european commissioner. on energy, simpson said that the european union allegedly completely replaced russian gas with lng supplies and gas from other sources. and besides, the european commission has developed some new rules for the european gas market. starting next year, the eu countries will exclude russian gas from contracts for joint ventures . purchases, in your opinion, what will all these adjustments in the european gas market lead to? well, if you follow the evolution of the position of the european commission over the past decade, then it has changed 180 degrees. i remember well when

i was working in brussels and uh, we used to run into each other. uh, with persistent uh onslaught of the euro uh, the eurocommission euro bureaucrats who were cancerous for the abolition of the practice of long-term gas contracts. which have given our relations with the eu countries the necessary stability since the late 1960s century. so they insisted on the transition to the market principles of trade. uh, through the stock exchange, appropriate and as some of our politicians of the nineties liked to say, oh, the invisible hand of the market put everything in its place, but they ruined, uh, in most cases, uh, the

practice. uh, these long-term contracts are causing gas prices, uh, to go up sharply. and what was russia immediately accused of, although they themselves sought the introduction of market principles, and now everything has changed exactly the opposite, they themselves implement administrative, but politically motivated decisions in the e-e market, e, gas, oil e and other energy carriers. so , there is no need to talk about any consistency from this side , but if we compare prices, they really increased several times, especially for gaz because gas and oil. of course, they give

the same effect, warming homes and hearts, but uh, these are two completely different goods. and if there's a really global market for oil, uh, and uh, a tanker of oil can go anywhere, then it is much more difficult to trade gas technically, and of course, pipeline gas. it will always be cheaper than liquefied gas, which must first be converted into a liquid phase, and then sent by tanker to another. end of the globe. there it is back into gaseous form, yes, and further under the consumer pipeline. so e attempts here such administration. which ms. simpson and the like are implanting. well, for her, too, there were a wish, including the former

chairmen of the european commission, who now demanded a relevant reforms, but as we are dealing with that of the european commission, which exists today . and we are definitely not on the way with them. well, yes, what do you have to deal with them. and how do you assess the prospects for the next sanctions package, which the eu is currently working on? true of course, not all restrictions from previous packages have come into force yet, but still, what can we expect here? but uh, obviously the initiators. most of them are well known to us. they can no longer stop. ah. they haven't actually introduced no measures for the sixth package, which was adopted in june, including embarrasses, are put into effect. a is already

drawing pictures of the ninth package, and is already starting somewhere with the 7 main topic of these discussions, and in brussels the fate of the gas market was, but they are not able to solve the problem of the gas market, so they don’t want to stop and saturate these subsequent e, sanctions packages, and any frank small things, nonsense. well, probably, uh, they will find someone else, uh, to let down, but under some professional sanctions, perhaps some economic operators. and most importantly, they now have e hmm, so to speak, for third countries. this is

the prevention of circumvention of sanctions, and now they are discussing how they will punish, and the third countries and their economic operators in case of suspicion of sanctions, but here, as they say, there is no end in sight, but at some point they still i'll have to stop because winter is just around the corner. and uh mood. uh, in the countries of the european union about the general population is by no means positive in relation to all these uh creative research. well yes, creative research, very interesting wording, and here is the curious position of the british prime minister. and well, the rishonok decided to join, but to the eu defense initiative although earlier, it seems, as he

supported the exit of his country from the eu and now it’s getting closer to continental europe what can this mean for the uk and the eu in your opinion? well, there are nuances, so his immediate predecessors, boris johnson and leaf tress, were ardent brexiters, threatening to in modern language, especially johnson, who argued with foam at the mouth, and the correctness of the decision to withdraw from the eu and so on, despite the consequences of the list times, generally tried to fill up the sowing in all the beds, including e fate, and the protocol e for northern ireland so the sunok on the iphone is trying to look like a reasonable person and so far

the reaction to his specific actions. here in the field of post-brexit, the reaction, in brussels, is more positive, albeit cautious. and if we talk about rapprochement here, but in matters military-political, the uk did not go anywhere , firstly, it is necessary for a member to be an active member, which, and the uk remains. secondly, even with the european union here is the military-political sphere. she was initially left out of the uh on economic trade issues that made up the damn thing. so do n't be surprised here. this is definitely surprising in

our time, nothing at all. thank you very much for your comments and your time to remind you that the direct contact with us was the first deputy chairman of the federation council committee on defense and security vladimir alekseevich chizhov a terrifying winter awaits ukraine such a forecast was made by nato secretary general jens stoltenberg at a press conference that takes place before the ministerial meeting in bucharest, winter, according to stoltenberg, will also become a difficult time for america and europe and quote. an even greater price will have to be paid. in addition, the secretary general of the north atlantic alliance said that the member countries of the bloc intend to provide new assistance to the ukrainian side in order to survive this very winter. he added that the doors of nato remain open for ukraine, well, sort of ajar. waves of missile strikes on cities and civilian infrastructure

are depriving ukrainians of the warmth of light and food. this is the horrific start of winter for ukraine. for the rest of europe and the world, times are also harsh to cope with the rise in valuable energy and food. yes, we all pay a price for russia's actions against ukraine, but if we let moscow win, each of us will pay much more for many years to come. oh-oh olena zelenska, wife of the ukrainian president , said that more than 90% of ukrainians are ready to live without heat and electricity, and for 2.3 years, if they see the prospect of ukraine's membership in the eu, we know that this is a democratic family waiting for us, and we want to be in it on par with others. end of elena zelenskaya's quote, previously ukrainian minister of infrastructure oleksandr kubrakov said that hundreds of millions of dollars are needed to restore the country's energy infrastructure, according to final times, kiev expects to receive external assistance in addition to the amounts that are already

allocated from the country's budget for energy needs. at the same time, ukraine ukraine lacks equipment and materials suitable for the restoration of energy infrastructure elements built during the soviet era, therefore, kiev intends to purchase scarce transformers. have lithuania poland or establish their own production. in such very difficult uh conditions, of course, people are expressing their dissatisfaction, frankly demanding zelensky with the current bendery government. uh, to intervene and corrected. e, in particular, the infrastructure of the energy system, but the fact is that it was also created in soviet times practically in the conditions in which repair shops are today, they are not able to change the situation. am

suggested a super idea of ​​a garage to us do you want to spend the winter in some other place he turned to residents who have houses in the suburbs of the ukrainian capital with an appeal to move there if one of you has a house in the suburbs of kiev if there are familiar friends with the house by 10:00 oven, heat independent water supply. it would be nice to temporarily move there, said vitali klitschko , the rest in the winter can be taken out of the city , according to klitschko, the population can be placed in a building located outside the city. in particular , we are talking about orphanages and nursing homes. he acknowledged the authenticity of the video footage of ukrainian soldiers shooting russian prisoners of war, as stated by the un high commissioner for human rights, a volker-turk, it is necessary to investigate the entire sequence of events and

bring those responsible to justice. polker also urged all parties to the conflict to give clear instructions to the military that any reprisals against captured persons are unacceptable in a video with the killing of more than ten russian prisoners of war by ukrainian soldiers appeared a week ago from among the western. the media authenticity of the footage, previously confirmed the newspaper. the new york times, according to the chairman of the human rights council. valery fadeev war crimes were committed in the village of makeevka on the territory of the lpr investigative committee russia opened a criminal case. will the russians be able to return the funds frozen abroad? what tax to pay for those who left the country and when will russia have its own crypto-exchange? these are the questions of my colleague at or asker-zade, answered the minister of finance, anton filanov, our economic observers anna

lazareva will summarize the results of their conversation russian companies, or introduce their own business remotely, their number, according to the minister, has grown significantly in recent years. at what rate should they pay income tax, as residents 13% or as a non-resident 30 in the ministry of finance act, as the minister put it, for tax justice and are preparing laws to ensure that despite the fact that a person conducts his business in russia while abroad. he still paid income tax as a resident. what is the tax rate, like for a resident 30% or like for a resident of the russian federation 13%. yes this question? we are considering, of course, we are inclined to ensure that people do not change the status of residence and uh, we provide that such a type of activity that is carried out in our country from abroad also uh, be taxed at a rate uh similar to uh,

as and for residents of the russian federation, that is, 13%. such suggestions. we are also working now. another topic that the minister of finance touched upon was the situation with the assets of russians frozen in the eu earlier by the politician's newspaper. estimated them at 68 billion euros. most of the 50 billion belgium is where the euroclear company is located, which keeps records of russian securities , including income paid on them after the imposition of sanctions against the russian national settlement depository. he participates in the transfer of payments of these incomes. it turned out to be impossible to transfer to russian investors, so the funds continue to be kept in euro-lira accounts and, according to the holding itself, have an unprecedented impact on its financial results for the first 9 months of this year. euroclear earned on them 340 million euros and in the future the amount will continue to grow steadily, the company, according to the central bank

of russia, for sanctions, papers of 5 million were frozen, investors, the amount of funds is measured in hundreds of billions of dollars, the authorities were looking for a solution to the problem all year. among the options, in particular, they proposed their exchange for european assets frozen in russia or the creation of a fund to support retail investors of legislative decisions that would allow us those frozen funds of already foreign investors that are unfrozen here in the russian federation to use for settlements on those assets that are frozen abroad. it's not an easy situation, there are also such initiatives, but uh, they are under consideration. i would say that at the beginning of the stage look. the head of the ministry of finance still considers it reasonable to legalize the crypto-currency market in russia , so far it has not been possible to find a compromise between the center and the bank on this matter, but the ministry of finance does not lose hope of reaching an agreement. i think that we will gradually solve

the issues of gradual legalization at the legislative level. e of this directions. why because this market is part of our citizens, uh, keeps wallets, all this is located in foreign infrastructure, it is not regulated in any way. well, we must start, probably, small , so we start with mining further. we will conduct a dialogue with the central bank and move forward together in this direction. anton silanov commented on the recognition by the states of our economy as not a market economy, according to the minister and the decision was purely political, and any restrictions on global trade lead to distortions, deficits and shocks. the coronavirus pandemic was most likely the result of an emergency during research in laboratories, such a hypothesis was expressed by the us senate committee on health education, labor and pensions in an interim report, along with this, the document also notes that this position may change

in the future if there is data indicating the reverse committee also draws attention to the fact that the version of the natural origin of the virus no longer deserves credit, however there are still a number of unresolved questions about the origin of the coronavirus, the answers to which, in the opinion of the us senate committee, could draw conclusions about its occurrence among these issues. for example, what kind of animal is an intermediate host for the coronavirus and when it first infected a person. and where is the viral reservoir, special attention deserves questions about how the coronavirus acquired its unique genetic characteristics, all this is also noted in the report. confirmation of natural there is no spread of the disease and although this fact does not disprove the hypothesis, nevertheless, the lack of evidence of spread or side effects 3 years after the start of the pandemic is alarming, if the covid-19 pandemic

is the result of a spur spread of the buhane virus, then there must be evidence that it was circulating in animal carriers and before it spread to humans. however, there is no evidence that any animal was infected before the first human cases . however, earlier that you china was repeatedly accused without evidence of artificially creating covid-19 wuhan, but beijing denied all this, but the head of the radiation chemical and biological protection troops of the russian armed forces, igor kirillov, reported that the ministry of defense does not deny that the us agency was involved in the emergence of the coronavirus. international development in russia also urged the who to launch an investigation into the activities of us military biological laboratories. the prosecutor's office of the nizhny novgorod region took control of the restoration energy supply in the region, i remind you in the

middle of the week after a freezing rain. 345 settlements were de-energized there, it was not possible to return electricity in full by this moment in 14 districts of the region, an emergency regime was introduced. we will talk more about this with meteorologist ekaterina grigorova. she is live on ekaterina’s hello, will the thaw help melt the ice and if the danger of new freezing rains in the nizhny novgorod region will get colder in the near future, well, ilda’s melting is out of the question, and freezing rains resumed in the west of the central region after a two-day break. this is how residents of the bogorodsky district of the nizhny novgorod region insulate houses and children. and where it has not yet been possible to restore the power supply, they hang a blanket in the doorways so that the heat does not leave , nevertheless, the temperature in the houses drops below 10 ° on the streets. knowledge of why there is no light and heating broken power line wire hangs on the energy tree until they can remove it. as

the heat is closed, the nose of the main door in toilet, of course, we can’t get in yet, because it’s cold here, mostly. uh, warming up in the car, charging. here the phones are our only salvation for three days with three children. we sleep here, because there is no other way, unfortunately. extreme conditions require non-standard solutions in houses with electric stoves, food is cooked on barbecues, or the fire is used to charge phones directly from car batteries. scales, blackouts, colossal more than that, the consequences of the icy rain continues to affect so far , power engineers who monitor the situation report this on social networks. staying

in unheated houses is already almost impossible by night. the frost in nizhny novgorod will get stronger to 10 °, by tomorrow morning, against the backdrop of cloudy weather, it will get cold to -11 and it will be cold on the weekend. tomorrow afternoon -8 on sunday minus six change cloudy without precipitation. frost intensifies on the night of tomorrow in the perm territory of the komi republic , the temperature will drop below -20 ° kirov region in the east of the vologda and kostroma regions, in saturday night -15 - 20 in the north, nizhny novgorod region, thermometers will also tend to -15. in the east of the central district , it will get cold at night to -10 °, in the west it will be warmer. it still affects here, the influence of the southern cyclone is a cold anticyclone, which is associated with cooling in the east of the european part of the country, blocking the southern cyclones. such as the one that is now in the black sea, and as a result, the warm sector of the cyclone is extended along the border of the anticyclone. air

enters the center of the country by the shortest route and because warm air is lighter than cold air. it is located at a height above the ground. at this level , it is raining, near the earth the drops freeze and in the ice zone. that is, where the crust of ice will continue to grow again tomorrow will be bryansk, tula , oryol region and north kursk, kaluga and bryansk regions. in the distance the ice will gradually stop. well, or it will not collapse, because tomorrow the temperature will be negative and this ice. soon the snow will be very slippery. in bryansk, freezing rain fell throughout the night. and in the morning, as a result, there is a skating rink on the streets, public utilities do not have time to process the sidewalks. some residents. those who did not find sand sprinkled the paths with ordinary salt, today it is slippery not only on the footpaths, but also on the tracks in the neighboring kursk region. they flew off the road.

in bryansk, everything is now covered with ice, even the lenses of all-weather cameras. this is how the city looks through the ice prism. tomorrow and the day after tomorrow in bryansk, the probability of freezing rain will be near zero, less precipitation will turn into sleet. and from next week the frost will intensify and it will snow gradually, the air currents will change direction, the probability of freezing rain will be less and less, and the frost will be stronger. for almost a year in belgorod, a gang of strong guys was operating, bringing terror to foreigners. i remember they didn't break my arm. i have a broken tooth now, a nightmare for emigrants ended immediately after the arrest of the leader of the group, david tronenko, nicknamed carbide,

told me that he adheres to the policy of national socialism. well, he talked about the action of the fight against grants. we are simply obligated to resist all our attacks, not motivated. to unfortunately, these here they quite quickly often cling to the weak, rabid neo-nazis. and what the extremists planned to commit, that is, the commission of a mass terrorist attack with murders, many people were preparing to bring suffering in the next explosions, arson. you will answer people and you will. yes, we took up this case and conducted our own investigation. we watch to know everything about russia the best historical series, we watch for free without registering nazism

into the theory and practice of the ukrainian government, as for beasts and cruelty, there are no modern ukrainian nazis in it, nothing new. about 2,000 criminal cases were always initiated there. and those who deny the existence of nazism in ukraine should just see what is happening with their own eyes, with a package. they choked did not give a dose of air such a terrible choice of the territory of ukraine with the ukrainian people. i am convinced that the power she will not be able to do it genetically. i never thought that in my old age i would start the morning with reports from the front and reports similar to

free verse when the soviet union collapsed we were one on one with ukraine, i knew that they were just waiting to be told freedom is above all. it seems to me that the comprehension of an emotional story with soot on the windows is tearing up. inflamed abrasions. the faces of the prisoners will turn pale, as the blessings of spring flow until the circular drink, the living of the dead will grow with their own fatherland

, and this is russia 24, we continue with the main facts of this day. vladimir putin met today with the mothers of servicemen who are participating in a special operation. the president decided to talk to them. on the eve of mother's day, which is celebrated on the last sunday of november, starting to talk. vladimir putin admitted that he shares the pain of mothers who lost their sons in hostilities and that the authorities will do everything so that they do not feel forgotten.
