hello this is news. i am alexander koretsky summing up the informational results of friday and the whole week. the european union has agreed on the ninth package of sanctions against russia, what is it about and whether to wait for the tenth package, we will talk with vladimir chizhov first deputy chairman of the commission on security and defense of the federation council viktor will start public activities, having joined the liberal democratic party, see our conversation. we are waiting for the inclusion of the new head of energodar eduard senovoz. let's discuss the situation with us at the zaporizhzhya npp or he got underway first payment for services

international consulting of a russian organization by counterparties from india in the national currency of rupees. it took place why is it so important, let's talk with the chief economist for russia , the cis countries of the company renaissance capital sofya no? well, we will start the release from donetsk, there this week the most massive shelling since 2014, we will talk about the consequences with the interim acting head of the dpr denis pushin, and denis vladimirovich, you hear us. okay. denis vladimirovich a few words, how is the situation now adding up? lost with you for a while. excuse me please, repeat the beginning of your words. yes , the situation remains difficult. and now we can

say what to take here for yesterday. this was probably the most severe shelling of the central part of donetsk since the fourteenth year, and yesterday we had two dead, 16 wounded, a lot of destruction, destruction of precisely civilian infrastructure and the temple ended up in the cathedral. today, too, unfortunately, not calmly today , too, under fire from us, if we take donetsk, then such byshevsky petrovsky kirovsky again, voroshilovsky district. this is the central district. donetsk, also today makiivka gorlovka bluish e-e under fire and now at 17:04. yes , the enemy fired at the voroshilov region. unfortunately, there are already wounded, that is, her family was passing by in the car, and including three people. including a teenager, they are also injured, they are now in the hospital, and in the courtyard of, uh, an apartment building,

that is, a lot of cars that are damaged and, uh, hundreds of windows in dozens of apartments that are now flew out, and let's say the weather. uh, just, well, cool season, of course, it is now again for public utilities, so at night, but to correct those, uh, here are the consequences of shelling. well, in fact, the situation remains difficult, but, uh, despite this, our units are moving forward and we are the only possibility in sight, and in order to stop shelling our settlements , it is to move the enemy to an appropriate distance so that they cannot physically reach our settlements. a denis vladimirovich and what do you think, after hmm, what are these shellings connected with - this is an increase. uh, these barbaric shellings of obviously peaceful objects, that is, it is clear that these are no mistakes, and not as if the

military were aiming at civilians by accident. that is, it does not work. this is an excuse. that is, it is special purposeful. eh, you and i understand the stocks, which we have also discussed many times, but nonetheless. this is the most massive shelling since the fourteenth year. why why now in our opinion, that is, here are these faithful work on areas of shelling ah-ah, but they are due to several reasons. the first, in our opinion, is impunity. and zelensky, that is, and a-but him directly. that is, those who are nearby. and those who make the decision, that is, again, encouragement from the west, we heard very recent statements from washington where it was stated that they were satisfied with how nato weapons are used, uh, by the armed formations of ukraine well , respectively, that is, the united states has now supported the shelling and shelling of civilians

civil infrastructure from ukraine but this is the first, probably, component. here are the reasons that the second one saw, we see that the enemy is really now losing his positions, that is, in almost all directions and undoubtedly, uh, in the donetsk region, this will be the evdeevsky direction, and the direction of this maryinsky direction and here the enemy is trying inflict damage on civilian infrastructure and probably divert our military personnel here, and the liberation operations here on within which they are now being used, because the vast majority of families are located just near our cities, that is, and this really leaves its mark. that is, it is an attempt to break. the spirit is an attempt, probably, to suspend offensive actions e machine. and this is probably what the enemy is counting on, but we see this

situation differently. e day vladimirovich, here is our collegium, e, stanislavl showed new fragments of a new look. i understand that this new weapon was brought up. yes and new uh, ammo used to shell civilians, it’s on tovsky samples there, modernized czech republics from other countries, uh, which, uh, participate and help. as they see it, but to supply weapons and so on. that is, u, as i understand it, this mass transition of a new type of weapon is observed. well, you know, we also associate this with non- for several reasons. the first is that the soviet-style armament in ukraine is ending, we feel it, that is, and now there are some peculiarities lately. that is, this is reflected in these barbaric shellings of the last e, the

enemy is already taking advantage. uh, nato-style weapons. here, in particular, donetsk was shelled yesterday, and on one side of the installation , czech ones were used, but missiles, e, were used, e, of increased increased impact. somehow they are called exp 122 in a wrong way. this is slovak, they were produced in slovakia, they were transferred to ukraine as part of the support that western countries provide, therefore, here, of course. we see that the nato countries involved here. and the armament of the mercenaries, that is, or disguised even as nato military personnel, and mercenaries or members of pmcs, it becomes absolutely obvious, that is, it really causes concern, because here they don’t see any line, but in washington and this can really

lead to irreparable consequences in general , that is, in terms of the development of the conflict, denis vladimirovich , you have already talked about no, about the successes identified on e, the line of contact. if so, it's soft. well actually the front line. so, to put it bluntly , but uh, maybe some already name the latest successes that are, so that our viewers hear from you. well, let's go from the south-donetsk direction in the south, that is, the enemy made a number of attempts in the direction to control the counterattack in the direction of pavlovka. well, and moreover, ours were reflected, and the military personnel were able to improve their positions. and here we see certain successes in the maryinsky direction. uh, there are fights in the smallest one, that is, around or inside already, probably, this is a multi-storey building, where the enemy has been heavily fortified. but this

is, well, let's say, around 20%, that's all the territory of the marinka. and here. i think the situation will develop further in the direction of already krasnohorovka. here are the next steps. for us. they are also absolutely obvious. as for the uh direction of avdeevsky, we see here the advancement of the eleventh regiment in the pervomaisky line, that is, there are battles on the outskirts, they also built a line of defense, that is, quite seriously strengthened the enemy. but, uh, we have no choice but not to shell donetsk, so that the situation here unfolds as quickly as possible. e next. this is the gorlovskaya direction, that is, mayorsky after the liberation of mayorsky itself, the settlement is subjected to regular shelling, including today. uh, but uh, we are developing directly already uh, offensive and

liberation actions in the direction of moving on. this, of course, is the artyomovsky direction of artyomovsky, and the third brigade is also working well, of course, the wagners, and there we also see some success in them in the most difficult conditions, that is, the enemy, probably, transfers the largest number of reserves just to artyomovsk and not with victims, regardless of the number of wounded dead for them, this is absolutely formation doesn't matter. uh and distribution of reservists. they or the mobilized are in the village. we see all this in konstantinovka, we try to prevent it directly, well, fully block the supply lines, but nevertheless, after a complete sweep, and yakovlevka, that is, it is already possible to

move in the direction of solidarity. and you are already picking up directly from this side, artyomovsk well, of course, picking up, that is, where, too, now, uh, battles are being fought even after the liberation of this settlement. that is, we will significantly improve our position here. and vera, we again under well show very good results in the consular direction. there are no such serious. movement, but a large number of attempts to counterattack the enemy are also maintained there. i see that there is also a certain heroism, that is, a serviceman is shown, because the reserves, including those from the kherson direction, are partially abandoned, and it’s just on krasnaya limanov on krasnaya limanskaya that she ’s a matchmaker’s direction, let’s say, and denis vladimirovich and in the conclusion of our conversation . what would you like to ask about? as i understand it, there are now four new holidays in the dpr. what are the holidays?

won't you tell? well actually it's not four new holiday the first holiday, and already approved simply at the regional level, including the eleventh of may. it's republic day. this is the day of the creation of the donetsk people's republic, so for 100 a very important holiday. and easter and the trinity is absolutely logical then why are these holidays hmm introduced here we celebrate traditionally. now we have only one, probably, a new holiday - this is september 30 - this is the day of returning to russia, in my opinion, everything is also obvious on this one, and we must celebrate the holiday, and we must pass it on to the next generations. for us. it was a crucial step. here is the connection with russia, and the money-making last is the very last question. uh, in the near future, the president is scheduled to meet with the heads of the new annexed territories. a few words. do not tell me what it is or is a secret for now. well

actually, i'll try not to reveal any secrets, but it's absolutely obvious that in this meeting. i will try to raise the most pressing issues that are of interest to uh our residents and uh, here uh i'm still getting ready to uh, i'm not i only voiced the problems, but so that i immediately offered options, how, on our part, on the part of the donetsk people's republic, we will go out, we will go out in certain situations, because there is really a lot of work, that is, uh, uh, synchronization with federal legislation , of course, it must pass, as quickly as possible, painlessly, and that is, and so that no filth affects the lives of our citizens, for the worse, that is, improvement. it's understandable, right? certainly i understand that all the basic preparations are underway. e definitely, of course, the focus is absolutely right. this is attention to ordinary ordinary people citizens. and

solve their problems as soon as possible. thank you very much for taking the time to remind us and talking with the interim acting head of the dpr denis pushin. russian troops today launched a massive missile attack on ukrainian energy infrastructure across the country, and blackouts began. in kiev, the metro was stopped, the surf began with electricity supply without electricity. poltava and kremenchug remained completely de-energized, not the kirovohrad region, in addition, reports of strikes came, zaporozhye of kryvyi rih days to appear with details evgenia petrovna we’ve been here for literally five minutes, we were literally 5 minutes ago also standing here next to the metro station and heard explosions. and in fact, they report that our air defense is working successfully. ukrainian air defense is working so well in quotation marks that there are interruptions in water supply in all districts of kiev. this is written by klitschko in

subway machinists completely stopped the trains at the stations here is the university. it's at the contract area station you can barely see the light at the end of the tunnel. all the lights have gone out in the teatralnaya metro station kiev residents are sitting on the steps of the stopped escalators here on the teatralnaya metro station the central offices have come to work. shelters ukrainian media report about 70 missile attacks on the country's infrastructure in kiev, three thermal power plants were hit at once . can't pick it up, please hurry up let's pass, and x completely stopped the surface

transport of the subway in kharkov several substations put out of action the mayor of the city igor terekhov called the destruction colossal there is colossal infrastructural destruction. first of all, the energy system explosions in kryvyi rih russian strikes hit the kryvyi rih tpp , the most powerful solid fuel power plant in europe. the soviet union built the krivoy rog tpp as a machine-building enterprise back in the sixties for the last time. it was modernized in the ninety- second of those times, ukraine did nothing but exploit the soviet legacy to prevent them from using electricity or to carry out the transportation of weapons equipment

equipment employees. and who are we with a family from krivoy rog , if i'm not mistaken that mr. zelensky from there, half of ukraine, without electricity, ukrenergo declared an emergency, there is no way not to work out more energy or transport it. so, most likely, it will turn out to light a garland on the new year tree. not everyone, but some kievans went to the christmas tree markets this morning. huh, and donbass has lived for 9 years and continues to live under shelling right now. how are you here? deal with the fact that the constant bombing, who goes with these shelling. you yourself see every day more and more cards are worth here then to win, yes, that's all. zelensky’s adviser arrestovich seems to be scared in earnest on the air his friend and feigin's agents comes out. the

main thing to hold out for a day is to repulse this offensive. here to play your game there. it is planned to look at the words laid down and then we assure you the potential for an offensive and even accumulate the creation of a new one. from the point of view of the ability of the russian federation, the possibilities are that it is enough to look out the window of the current large-scale strikes and the white funnels of even an aircraft speak for themselves. that flew over moldavia someone posted on the net. interesting, the arrestovich had already seen yevgeny petrukhin. stanislav take alexander pornukhunov. diana nakurina to lead. this week, the russian ministry of energy became one of the first in russia to conduct settlements for services in rupees with counterparties from india. settlements with an indian

company were carried out through accounts in rupees that were opened in india by one of our banks. let me remind you that the president pays great attention to creating a system of settlements with other countries in national currencies, bypassing the world dollar system, of course, this does not mean that russia will give up dollars or euros right tomorrow, but a strategic way in this direction. what are the challenges along the way? we will discuss this with the chief economist for russia for the cis countries with renaissance capital sofya, donetsk hello sofya alexandrovna but this, well, it is clear that this is only the first small step in this direction. although we had settlements in europe before. a. well, basically it was all about the goods. and there were certain problems. we are everything. perfectly understand, and yet. let's talk with you, please, about what. hmm. what are the stones on this path, what

are the main problems. uh, and how fast can we, uh, create this settlement infrastructure without the dollar or the euro? this is clear. it's the same dollar, only a little uh from the other end. what do you think? talks about settlements in rupees and the launch of this ruby ruble segment on the russian financial market have been going on for this year. uh, there are technical difficulties here, including from india uh. it's more of a matter of time than some kind of strategic impossibility. now. uh, settlements in the near future will be carried out not in the format of exchange currency exchange, but in the format of mutual adjustments. and this step has already been passed. and if we talk about volumes, trade, which it can serve. uh, here's a flow of rupees or a ruble. uh, then with india we see a very, uh,

significant expansion of russian exports - that's true. india has become a locomotive. uh, the redistribution of russian oil exports, its weight in the total expertise and oil has increased modest one percent. beginning of the year to almost forty. the same progress. in terms of imports , quite modest volumes of imports are not yet observed from india to russia, but nevertheless, mutual trade is already large enough to support the e new currency as well as in addition to other e-alternative currencies that have already been launched on the russian market and here first of all , of course, we are talking about the chinese yuan, whose share in exchange turnover has reached about a third, and in foreign trade turnover has reached about 15% too, up a modest one percent at the start of the year. e sofya alexandrovna well , as a representative of, uh, a participant in the financial market, you should probably understand and understand very well , and those problems that

private traders of the financial market have. why because the calculations are in other currencies? this is, first of all, one of the main questions. this has already been said a little . these are liquidity issues. and as experts say, liquidity, that is, it is an opportunity to sell quickly. or buy one or the other asset for a particular participant. i say this, of course, not to you, but televisedly, because such a special term, but because it is extremely important. e, and what do you think, will conditions be created or what needs to be done so that financial market participants, banks, investment companies, maybe even some, respectively, other legal entities are more actively involved in this turnover and participate in the same exchange trading, because now the volume is somehow noticed in the yuan, a very good lead. even sometimes dollar volumes. but for rupees, it’s the same. in the meantime, it doesn’t correspond to the volume of e, trade, as i

understand it, that’s what needs to be done so that investment companies and other market participants are more willing to come to these newly opening markets. once again, i would like to emphasize that trade. uh ruble rupee has not yet started in the russian exchange segment. so far, these are only bank transactions within the framework of opening examination correspondent accounts. uh, it's more of a prospect for next year. e, although it is fair indeed to note that in currencies other than the yuan, er, which were also launched on day 22 on the russian moscow exchange. a. indeed, so far very modest turnover. uh, well actually nothing new here. it is rather an economic reality in order to have an active turnover. e, in the currency it is necessary that there are economic reasons for this, and the reasons are in the form of a significant turnover commodity, for example, if we have a small turnover of goods, it is difficult to expect from south africa that we will have active trading within russia as a pair. uh, russian ruble south

african rand yes, well, this is one of one of the restrictions and the second thing besides. availability, the exchange itself, it is necessary that the financial market be available and on the other hand to place this liquidity. and to be able to park. e your, for example, yuan in some profitable instruments with an interest rate, if you have them temporarily stale, so that they do not lie idle. uh, this is a gradual process, in addition to opening mutual access, and financial market participants stand on the other side of each other the parties also need financial market participants to get used to doing this and assess their internet costs, so here, of course, the greatest prospects are for those currencies that are actively involved in world trade. and so far, most likely, only chinese. uh, yuan, uh, sofya aleksandrovna, there is one more question that i would like to discuss with you, this is the question of moving

away from dollar calculations. this concerns not only us. yes, and other countries still share the dollar falls in international trade, not yet. strongly, but nevertheless, the process is actively going on, and there are different conversations, what could theoretically replace the dollar? i understand that this is a very serious and detailed conversation, not for the five minutes that we have left, but nevertheless. uh, what do you think, this is a trend to replace the dollar, will it accelerate in the near future, or is this a long-term issue. i think this is a long term issue. uh, they really prefer universality, and universality is preferably one of several currencies in which you can pay, therefore the share of the dollar remains very significant in the global trade of the big move until there is under the veil here. uh, in order for uh, leader uh, uh to change in international settlements, it must be. uh, again, there must be an alternative currency, must be supported by

a large economy. yes, and china, in principle, is such a large economy, because in terms of purchasing power parity about china, it has already overtaken the us gdp, but, nevertheless. we also need an open financial market. but this is not. therefore, it is not yet possible to say that, for example, the chinese yuan, the euro can take this place. well, apparently, too, uh, it is not moving forward now. in this direction, rather the other way around due to the deteriorating economic situation in europe, but i must say that we will not forget regional calculations and the possibility of using regional currencies. uh, and therefore i will pay attention to the fact that not only the share of alternative currencies, uh, increased in the calculation of russia with its counterparties. well, in fact, the share of the ruble increased its own in these calculations. she is almost doubled, from 14% to 32% in early autumn. eh, here. uh, hmm, not only at the expense of our closest neighbors, but also at the expense of other partners, so actually pay in the russian ruble. this is one of the most promising and easy for

russian participants, alternative to the very last question, how do you feel about gold? now there is a lot of talk that gold in the form of a peg to cryptocurrencies and so on can replace the same dollar. even the united states itself is talking about the introduction of a digital dollar. there and so further. and do you think the prospects for gold in terms of international currency is interesting? in my opinion, the return to gold as an international currency was a step backwards for the global financial system, but nevertheless, if we talk about gold as an investment asset, then we are positive about the prospects for this asset, as well as for the prospects that haunt the rest, which can also become such a proxy for those who want to invest or win on the positive movement that we can see in gold prices next year against the backdrop of completion of the tightening cycle of monetary policy in major world leaders and against the backdrop

of stabilization of inflationary global trends. thank you very much. well, let's see, indeed it is very difficult and all processes. they're going on for a long time, they're not just going, uh, and they'll evolve, and we 'll be as usual. eh, as always, keep an eye on it and watch. thank you very much. and let me remind you that they found time for us, we talked with sophia, the chief economist for russia and the cis of renaissance capital . yes no and now to other main news this week. china will buy oil, gas for yuan business reports, insider talks are coming to saudi arabia, the world's largest oil exporter. such a move threatens the global dominance of the us dollar and could accelerate the process of de-dalorization, the shanghai oil and natural gas exchange platform will be fully used for yuan settlements in oil and gas trading. the west has made a strategic miscalculation in relation to russia, according to

an american economist from the institute of catonicity in hanke russian gazprom will now receive payments for gas from china in rubles and yuan, refusing the euro. and moscow will draw closer to beijing. such is the price of the west's mistakes nato is facing a shortage of weapons, according to the permanent representative of the united states to the alliance, julianne smith, the conflict in ukraine is depleting the allies' military stocks. this is a very serious challenge, both for nato members who make serious commitments by providing lethal weapons to the armed forces, and for the ukrainian armed forces themselves, which are facing shortages and destocking. the largest chipmaker of the british army has stopped deliveries of the latest technology in china , according to financial. the times manufacturer fears that the us and uk will not issue licenses to sell as the new chips fall under a scenario agreement that protects the technology. the west also in october, the united states banned 28 chinese companies from receiving
