the talks of the leaders were held in minsk in the focus of attention on the development of cooperation and resistance to outside pressure. anastasia efimova will tell about other issues that were discussed ; economics, cultural and humanitarian spheres. negotiations. as the head of state recognized, they were useful and made it possible to come to very concrete results, including the implementation of the joint military doctrine by the russian belarusian group of troops at the training grounds of the republic. military doctrine of russia belarus will have to joint military planning acts of the russian belarusian, regional grouping of forces at present at the same time, activities of combat coordination of formations and

military units of our countries are being held on the territory of belarus. a unified air defense system has been created and is on combat alert. we agreed to continue to jointly take all necessary measures to reliably ensure the security of our two countries; to give priority attention to the training of troops to increase their combat readiness and combat capability and to continue the practice of regular joint exercises and other operational and combat training activities to carry out mutual deliveries , in-demand weapons and jointly engage in the production of new military equipment. i consider it possible to continue the implementation of the proposals of the president of belarus on training the crew of combat aircraft of the belarusian army that have already been converted for the possible use of air-launched ammunition with a special warhead, as

alexander lukashenko confirmed. on all issues. there is mutual understanding with security, special thanks to the belarusian president, as he put it not only from himself and not only from the military spoke out in favor of the s-400 complex put on combat duty, which was transferred to russia to belarus, as well as the tactical missile iskander m. we agreed. i will remind the president of this in june as part of a meeting in st. each other. this is a key principle of joint work, and it gives a tangible result prepared aircraft. it turned out that we have such aircraft from soviet times , we tested them in the russian federation we are now together with christian russians ready for carriages. uh, able to fly these planes. don't dry specific ammo. this is not a threat to anyone. i have

informed you several times, both in st. petersburg, in moscow, and in sochi, when i met, that she, well, causes great concern for us. uh, as you said, tension along the perimeter of the border of the union state, primarily in the west, and we would have to secure the belarusian state. you have taken a decisive and very important step in supporting belarus. many thanks again. we have already spoken moscow and minsk are acting jointly in matters of the economy, according to the results of the current year, the trade turnover will reach a record level, the departure of a number of western partners from the russian market, as the russian president noted, the belarusian manufacturer opens a window of opportunity, moreover, the goods of neighbors are traditionally in high demand and naftogaz were the main issues, and industrial policy not to create parallel production cooperation, so that no one will ever tilt us again, so that

they don’t come, and then don’t leave on what they didn’t left as it was done. this is what is beneficial to us russia will manage without us. and we don't exist without her. and we agreed here that yes, we will act on equal terms, so talk about the fact that, well, someone absorbs someone, what is the issue. and why why? russia has always gone forward. today there is not a single issue that has not been resolved, we are moving towards the russian federation in the most difficult moment. well, you know, the two of us are the most harmful toxic people on this planet. we have only one dispute, who is more vladimir vladimirovich says that i am already beginning to think that he, well, decided that together they are the same with such a volume of cooperation, constant administrative

support is necessary and this is one of the reasons for regular contacts between moscow and minsk, including at the highest level, the government of the two countries, as noted the leaders work, almost on a daily basis, but , of course, the presidents set the final points, and in the course of the current negotiations, we first talked in a wide format with the participation of delegations, then we talked face to face, and a number of questions planned to discuss as part of a working husband. one of the important topics, of course, is the energy sector, the issue of a single gas market and the cost of education for the next three years regarding energy prices. i have already said, i can only confirm the agreement. concepts and pricing for the next 3 years we continue the topic of very close contacts between moscow and minsk journalists asked today if emmanuel macron had a chance to

hear a call from his russian colleague if the french team had become the world cup champion the day before business relations are preserved with many colleagues, as the head of state diplomatically clarified with the french leader, including, well, as for the final match in the president's frame, as it turned out, vladimir putin watched the second half. and alexander lukashenko the whole game and even the warm-up i watched the second half. that the moment when the score was already 2:2, i watched extra time and then, of course, i could not resist calling the president to congratulate him. i know that argentina is a football country there people are really very 3.15 relate to it they love, uh, they love their players, including the presenters, and i think that they deserved this victory. i'm always sick of the mind. and then

for argentina why because, uhm, unlike russia, even belarus, they don’t even have a philosophy, they have something sacred, but the business agenda of the meeting, as the russian president clarified , 600 of the thousand planned have been implemented to date integration events, moreover, very different in topics, but invariably necessary for further fruitful work and effective development of the two states of russia and belarus which, as the leaders reaffirmed, remain the closest allies and strategic partners. vsu, hit the center again. donetsk ended up in a kindergarten, a hospital and residential buildings, ukrainian militants hit civilians aimingly, and the situation in the city of stanislav berlogaid at night. the shelling of the city of donetsk resumed. right now they are hitting the very center of the city - this is the voroshilovsky district. there is

information that the kalinin hospital was shelled again and again, because the square will be killed by ukrainian artillerymen, there are serious destruction and getting into the hospital in the hospital and the clinic also hit the target of the tower. this is in the leninsky district, while it is too early to talk about the victims. but, most likely, this blow is not a single one, and ukrainian gunners will strike it again, most likely they hit either barreled artillery, 155 mm, or hail, or analogues of migrants. we observe czech vampires andrey potapov andrey rudenko to lead, donetsk losses the generals ask permission from the president

to retreat, but he does not agree. as noted by ukrainian portals, he intends to beg the west for more money and weapons, and the situation is eugene petrukhinazis, digging trenches right in residential areas. this freeze frame has everything at once. here, look at the trenches of the vushniks on the streets among the houses. but local residents, six people, come with backpacks and shopping bags. and now, behind the backs of these peaceful people, the ukrainian army is going to take cover, and the cops all over artyomovskaya it's interesting how ukrainian militants are. those who have grown these positions can generally look into the eyes of these passers-by. is it normal for them to sleep, well, however, nothing surprising and quite, it is clear whose ideology the so-called human shield tactics were used by terrorists forbid. many in russia, azov, the remnants of the nazi battalion have already been transferred to artyomovsk , the best troops write telegram channels. usually

all these azov others, in fact, also scattered and broken dust. and now they are being driven there, as far as i know, the defense systems have been made and the border guards so that at least someone to fill the streets. well, of course, there are civilians. but zelensky’s quote, he seems to be arguing with himself. first, he says that when people want to leave , the state should give them the opportunity to evacuate. and then it continues, if the city is empty it is very easy to capture. that is, it turns out that zelensky is not going to let anyone go anywhere. after all, otherwise it will be just some kind of cover when you do not carry out the evacuation of your population. you put him in the role of a human shield just so that to prove something to someone or then to somehow report to the victims or to capture it all on camera. this is an apartment building. nyh more than

once, where we are with you. it is the bombases themselves who are filming themselves, posting all these and even signed that it is bakhmut. he artyomovsk where from because of a group of trees? from there, here is a red light. here is a high-rise building, and for sure, there are civilians, but this does not prevent ukrainian militants from shooting, causing, of course, return fire. and how not to remember here, mariupol, when the coronazit used 150 civilians, as a human shield by militants. they even hid there among the civilian population. uh, they fought already in civilian life, they were mainly covered by the civilian population. i think the same is happening. uh, in artyomovsk, in mariupol, the militants and the kiev regime shot at the dpr fighters from behind the backs of people, they drove the locals out of the basement. where they hid to

hide themselves for a reason, like, it looks like any tactic of the fascist regime. well, people i look, damn, they told me about the relations, respectively, of the nationalist battalions. they wrote. well, maybe just horror. we knew that, let's say, you can get up and go there through that road, but it is all blocked. we were simply forbidden to do this, because the people who tried to leave, but they did not get there and understood everything. for some reason they didn't make it. they simply did not release their own did not release. i say, now, in quotation marks , people have left, probably returned to hide. civilians from a bullet then shoot another bloody blockbuster with western money, allegedly the atrocities of russia arise as in a bucha logical question. and who are you defending then? the russian army, in the meantime, liberated most of the mariinka in the dpr, the center was cleared of ukrainian militants, and

strongholds of foreign mercenaries were destroyed in the suburbs. company, artyomovsk, the battles are heavy, but they give the result of artillery, aviation, tanks support infantry assault detachments, knocking the enemy out of his fortifications. this is fighting in marinka, as soon as we show their undead hanging. the mortar immediately begins to work there. glory. god not crooked can not get next to go to bed. yes, well, what needs to be worked out? an order is an order, what are the goals of the house? e, at home, or something, just at home to shoot at houses with enemy infantry, which prevents ours from advancing, we will provide support for our infantry without saying. so. uh, fast capture with minimal losses. that is, they worked quickly, while the bach infantry comes and captures itself. in short, exactly we get direct contact 200 m positions

are stormed by tankers with experience. grandfather in urban battles in mariupol, there are young lieutenants who came after military schools , there are ordinary volunteers, well, like in a tank, you feel. here you are jumping out. so, how do you feel? what kind of excitement or strange when you see the enemy directly through the windows, especially when he aims at you, gave out a second time. well, so that for sure he shot the bull here, that is, he left. well, how do you say? all these feelings are describe. you need to feel it for yourself that the fiftieth and forty- second russian divisions and parts of the first army corps of the dpr liberating marinka create an opportunity for a large railway junction to exit. where heavy equipment constantly stays, a bed of artillery and mortar fire constantly, without stopping fire. why are they leaving? why didn't uh always leave before?

i have to advance to protect, so they have no choice. yes, yes, we are trying to finally cover avdiivka the nearest the city of donetsk, still occupied by ukrainian troops. how much is left to the western western territory, i can’t tell you this, yet. for now, we will not disclose such information. three times today rockets exploded near us. excellent mood again pierced the wheel, in general, some kind of trouble with the wheel last week was pierced on this one. well, nothing is normal. there are just too many pieces here. if we talk about marinka while shelling, this is a common

thing alexander sladkov pavel vydrin galimbergasov. government until june 30 should work out the issues of creating a memorial complex for the red concentration camp in crimea and a museum at the dulak 142 memorial complex in bryansk, such instructions to vladimir putin following the meeting of the organizing committee victory during the great patriotic war, the nazis built one of the most cruel death factories near simferopol, the number tortured in this camp, crimeans up to 15,000 people, including women and children, even babies were killed during the years of occupation of crimea the third reich killed more than 130,000 people. slavery drove over 85.000, and dulak 142 is the only nazi concentration camp in russia, in the structure of which up to forty thousand people were preserved there. the ceiling on gas prices approved by the european union could lead to fuel shortages and

higher prices. this was recognized by the minister of economics of germany robert said. if this happens, the restriction will have to be adjusted or even canceled, the countries have agreed on a dynamic limit, so far at the level of 1,850 euros per thousand cubic meters, but they did not dare to introduce it immediately, it will only be launched at the end of winter from february 15, and ceiling pressure the chief of our berlin bureau, mikhail antonov after several months of disputes over the limitation of gas prices, european supporters of this initiative for the spring formulated. now the former italian premier of the dredge. felt empowered to push through the doubters. and i firmly believe that an agreement is within reach, of course. this requires everyone to have a very strong desire for compromise , so that a so-called qualified majority was enough to make a decision on the gas price ceiling. that is for 15 out of 27 countries

that provide at least 65% of the total population had to vote , with the initial proposal of the european commission to set limits of 275 euros per megawatt-hour, which resulted in an amount of almost 3,000 dollars per 1,000 cubic meters under pressure from france, italy and poland and belgium was reduced to a third by paris's share. today we have a proposal, the presiding countries in the amount of 188 euros. france pointed to the fact that we are satisfied with the price in the range remaining up to 200 euros. finally agreed 180 euros per megawatt-hour or a little less than 2,000 dollars per 1,000 cubic meters, the ceiling comes into force if the price stays above this indicator for 5 days, but there is a provision that, upon first consideration, significantly reduces the pretentious introduction, price restrictions are removed if in the eu countries there is a shortage of fuel, who can pay the market price, he

pays german economy. after all, the commodity, where the money is, american or kator companies sell their lng to the one who pays the most and we germans are simply ousting other buyers, lng from the world market, because we are so rich americans who sell these volumes. nikita of sri lanka or indonesia and they sell to us. without long-term contracts and without discounts, in a word, they fought for it. yes, now prices are far from the august peaks, when the cost of 1,000 cubic meters exceeded $ 3,500, but the rate of withdrawal from underground vaults are hinting that closer to spring the market will again enter a state of price rally from this, nor the transition to mass heating of houses with herbs. what the british are actively doing, not even the successes of the german greens. they return germany to the era of coal and steam as a result of russia's war in

ukraine, europe lost. about one trillion dollars due to the sharp rise in energy prices and the deepest crisis in the last decade is just beginning after this winter the region will have to replenish supplies gas practically, without supplying it from russia, which will intensify competition for a tanker with fuel. this means that there will be no respite from high prices, but prices will only be half the problem with legaz, if, for example , germany has the physical ability to receive it in sufficient quantities on saturday in the port of wilhelm, a floating reception terminal moored from hafina, st. petersburg with the appropriate name esperance hope capacity of 5 billion cubic meters per year in anticipation of this event chancellor-scholz. so excited that even withdrew his fundamental objections to the price ceiling, which he insisted on all summer and autumn, however, the minister of economics. khabib is not at all happy with the hope that germany will be saved. this way, maybe

there is. and confidence is not enough with the stoppage of supplies from russia, we have lost half of the german volume of gas supply . gas consumption in germany is about 100 billion cubic meters per year 55. of these, were from russia, which means there is no question about excess volumes, abundance of gas is also in question because in european energy affairs. all the time, the politics of the thread intervenes in the corruption case of the vice-peak. of the european parliament, or as well as groups of deputies and advisers who have found hundreds of thousands of euros in cash remuneration for certain lobbying services and image improvements lead to many places in the arab east and north africa, but in the media the emphasis is on the powerboat of the emirate dali to understand what it is for them i do not like. and that this may affect long-term cooperation with europe, that is, the same germany may once again have to making tough choices between values ​​and gas

in the coming months, the value of the boat as a reliable source of gas will only grow, adding another layer of complexity to the diplomatic equation for eu countries if the belgian authorities formally blame the spirit in an ongoing corruption investigation. in particular, germany is desperately trying to find alternative suppliers to russia. this furor highlights that in the world of energy geopolitics, there are rarely simple options. about simple options publication of a politician is rarely noticed correctly . well, an overly complicated solution does not always work, but an artificial restriction on the price of gas, or what is known about it. at the moment, it looks too confusing and contradictory for it to have a real effect in an extreme situation. after all, what does the ceiling look like? it turns on when the storage is more or less full and the market is calm and turns off in conditions of shortage and price shock. the meaning of administrative regulation thus

reduces to a hypnotic effect on population, we have limited prices, but this will not find any reflection in the bills for heat and electricity. mikhail antonov with all the borkovskaya and andrey is all powder now, germany a micro meteorite pierced holes in the instrument compartment of the soyuz s-22 ship with a diameter of less than a millimeter, the head of roskosmos called the situation a quote not very pleasant, and what will they do to fix the problem did dmitry horn find out? there is no need for emergency evacuation, but the final decision will be made by a special commission in roskosmos , they said that damage to the ship's radiator soyuz ms-22 on the crew. no effect at the end of december. i think the numbers of the twenty- seventh specialist. now two working groups have been formed to decide how we will get out of this situation, yes, a regular crew descent, as planned, if the situation develops along some other trajectory,

we will simply undock the ms-22, and send a second ship with the crew, the situation is with a leak of the refrigerant on the spacecraft can be called calculated non-standard, experts say various options for the occurrence of such difficulties are being worked out by the crews for earth is dangerous for cosmonauts, docked to the station, but in fact the mothballed ship does not carry, one of the tasks that is set for specialists is to assess how quickly the sublimation of this substance that has flown away from the radiator proceeds and, according to the conclusion about the safety of work, we can continue , since the crew is on board the crew is trained and we have no special reason yet. uh, it 's impossible to repair it in the form in which it is with serious flight programs, because it's a radiator is outside in a vacuum, we are still not very clear about the nature of the damage to this hole. the main thing is that the investigation of the incident has already been confirmed. what
