how life has changed in zaporizhia this year and how the region is developing under the russian flag under the conditions of a special operation about this, not only in an interview with our channel, was told by the acting head of the zaporizhzhia region yevgeny balitsky yevgeny vitalievich i welcome you. thank you for agreeing

to answer our questions. well, first question. i will, of course, about the situation in zaporozhye. front, what now, uh, do you expect, for example, well, to a serious offensive from the side of the military or there, it’s still enough strong defense. well, you know, it is always necessary to prepare, and therefore, as far as the probability of the ukrainian armed forces is concerned, they can for us at any time. we monitor the situation in the zone of reach that we can view it e we do not allow the enemy to gather e to strike a fist. as soon as they are more available and well, more than the value that is effective for hitting artillery, then ours is thinning them out. well, and accordingly, while we do not see today the readiness of the ukrainian side to apply hit. but i say this, again, subjectivity from the point of view. what i can say, uh, we do not see their readiness,

because in order to concentrate, but it is necessary to have a sufficiently large, but human resource, and we see them so far, which is spiritual and moral. today they confirm our rather weak languages ​​taken by our intelligence. uh, what the enemy is in stage today. uh, demoralization of readiness, they have absolutely no until we come battalions that should strengthen their morale and drive them uh, hiding behind, uh, recruits from behind. they are absolutely not ready 2 months ago what i went to the front line looked at to the river went. well, i mean to the dnieper, i went and looked at our trenches, of course, the people were tired, our guys, because they almost left kherson. they are from march 24th. many have not changed. and well, i must say, the man is not iron, after all, there was fatigue and it was clearly

visible, and now the guys have come with reinforcements. maybe they have less, of course, his experience, but there is a spirit. but there is a desire to meet enemy. e on your own land and go ahead ' cause those guys need to rest. they are well done, they have worked for five points, but they just do not even rest. any person can resist, therefore, today and the supply is much. better already. that's what even the same 2 months ago we see normal armors are being issued today, and thanks to the zaporozhye vgk, which we pay a lot of attention to by order of the president, we buy for the army for the 58th army that we have for other units that are involved in the theater of combat actions, we buy all household necessities. well, this is potbelly stoves, and the fact that the army cannot always just have time to do it, but it is in the army, but until it gets there, uh, forests, we buy a lot. the boys are laying out trenches today. uh, how it

should be in order to be there, well, a person can feel relatively comfortable in these conditions, there are a lot of tasks that are being solved today. as they say, the people 's army, in this case, the tasks that we face are designated by the president. we today we are doing it together and i can say to my credit and to the credit of the work of the region that the needs are met to a large extent. perhaps they are all, but i see that the situation has changed a lot at the front and quadrocopters appear and armor is normal and ammunition and food. and the spirit is different. you understand right here. i must say that i believe that very soon we will go further, i all hope so, because we only have to grow the zaporozhye region, not everything has been liberated yet. we are waiting, zaporizhia, and we are hoping for our military. that is, for this principle is already strong enough. well, yes, i

wouldn’t like to name numbers there, but there are enough forces to calmly hold the first, second and third front lines, to remove all questions about the withdrawal from energodar, there is something there to the crimea there, as gleb zheglov said donut hole they sharapova no nuclear power plants. they will no longer see everything that ukraine has its chance. on the consistency, how the state was lost for its own for its indecent illness, which is called bendera banderaism, which has swallowed up minds today and fascism, which crawled out again with europe and found a place for itself in ukraine. i saw it all, being a deputy of the verkhovna rada, or how it happened before my eyes, how we did not hold power in the fourteenth year of the party in the regions. yes, they didn’t keep it, well, many accuse us of this. but this is also to understand that the strongest enemy opposed us. the strongest had to understand what the americans put on the altar in

order to capture ukraine and enslave it. e residents they put a lot of money a huge amount of time, and russia k unfortunately, then, too, was not ready. uh, and we also dealt with internal problems, but today is the time, and we will go forward. and how e. i often like to give an example of my idol vladimir semyonovich. vysotsky in the literature means, finally we were given the order to attack to take away our crumbs and fifths. after all, we remember how the sun set off at five and almost set in the east. so the sun didn't set. in the east. today we must move forward from the consciousness of the whole society. today it is already ready, that is, vladimir vladimirovich as the main team, as the president of our country during this time, over these nine months. and in general, all our authorities were able to create conditions that were not enough to prevent. the situation that the europeans have been waiting for is that a mess will begin inside the country. and this is the only thing that could

undermine our country from the outside. do not take us. we could only be inside. and so we were able to prepare that today our mothers let their children go, yes, with anxiety in their hearts, but they let go. and this is the most important thing, because society today understands what we are fighting for and we were able to to convey this, and thanks to you, among other things, we were able to convey, we were able to mobilize and consolidate society. and this is the main merit of the president of our entire team, so that no one else has any doubts about the russian world, which they began to treat so much in the lands that have always been russian and where the russian people have always lived. in what nationalities did he live? it does not matter. as president lucky rightly said, over time , these are all russian peoples, and we must fight for our land. we are aware of this. if not us, then no one else. well, i mean, i understand that twenty-third year, we are waiting for a positive. the news is for positive news, as zelensky said, he flew there, as i understand it, to

beg for another money there for weapons and so on. he has a whole tour there, yes, for weapons, that is, what do you think, that's what flew there and right there they promised everything again. it won't turn the tide in any way. no, nothing will break. i speak boldly, if 2 months ago i was worried and worried and asked these questions at an audience with vladimir vladimirovich, but now i don’t worry for anything anymore. i see, what but what i said, finally we were given the order to advance, and it’s not that it’s just banal, but on some sector of the front we are talking about the whole country that we finally understood everything that it's time for us to advance, that we've had enough to wait. these europeans. they perceive our politeness and fulfillment of contracts as our weakness. and this is wrong, and in their case it is even disastrous. therefore, in this situation, the fact that zelensky went there to beg is just hmm, such a

jesuit form of the anglo-saxon europeans, you know, the longer the better, the more that die on both sides, because they understand the more. we will take back our lands, the more these people will join our ranks both economically and militarily and politically. they are all. well, remember the soviet union. it was the same and they will become a system, and they understand this, therefore, the more they give. they are weapons than more. they will dispose of the ukrainians in the end. well, unfortunately, our soldiers are dying. uh, the more profitable for them, because their philosophy to them ukraine is not needed, no lifeless. they just use it to get their money back, because now the lokit company receives large orders, junk, chipped in here, disposed of some there, cut out a kidney from someone, someone died there, yes, they don’t care and in general they always didn’t care. and when would it be for the germans. it is beneficial that it was good in ukraine, but when this happened, let them read history, but never europeans poles, but

look at what shevchenko wrote as he described. all these are poles, the same poles. they have always been interested in colonization in slavery in ukraine, europeans are germans, but whenever a german is interested in us being good, but zelensky he simply no longer understands that now he is in control of the situation, the situation is in control of him and that he went to beg for money. well, they gave them this billion, well, they will plunder half and half will fall on the battlefield. it will be destroyed there, but yes, and about the patriot, they put one complex. well, it's simple. and while still being a military school in the soviet union, i studied this complex. well , the complex at that time was enough good. he stood shut. uh, between germany and hungary, he stood. i remember their complex they became, but he works in divisions, he does not work. well, well, they put no, well, this is one division of this complex. they won’t even close kiev to them. yeah , there are such complexes, i don’t know, but probably pieces. well, 30, probably, you need to

go to ukraine to see them at least something, that he asked for what he was given and was given. or, in general, such is another story. this is a drop in the sea. this is just an excuse for the europeans that we are helping, they need a bloodbath. they are not they understand that russia will return ukraine in any case, since these are our lands and everyone understands this. well, they don't talk about it. and as for zelensky, i just know him personally and i can say that he is an unfortunate person. now i see how a person is extremely unfortunate. he plays his last role. and while he plays it. uh, as an actor they pay him well, but an unfortunate person, because then, as hitler, he was guilty of all the germans who shouted sieg harko that hitler's child and dracht. just answered like this one hitler and, well, the leadership is there, but in fact, we understand that in general the idea

of ​​​​fascism. the idea here is this racial class or whatever. here is their hatred. this is intransigence, in general, towards us, as towards some kind of people, who look at how they treat their prisoners. this is for philosophy. look how the americans wiped cancer off the face of the earth, how they destroyed yugoslavia in their philosophy, how they bombed the view, 3 million people died for us, no one answered for this. they even sprinkled pesticides. they experienced nuclear weapon. we are at our core. well, unfortunately, somehow. maybe this is not a very correct word, but we are a sacrificial people. we take a lot of things on ourselves, this european one, we saved the germans from the germans. we saved them from ourselves and the fact that today they are still throwing in zelensky. we found another pinochet for ourselves and i pour this one so that he continues to set fire to all this war. although they themselves are well aware that the song has already been sung. i want to clarify here,

taking into account what you just said. is it possible to say that the forecast around zaporozhye nuclear power plant, in principle, favorable? well, yes, all this today i cannot state that two reactors are working. we are in full control of the situation in the zaporizhzhia region , two reactors are operating from the nuclear power plant. mainly for heat energy, which is aimed at providing the city of energodar yes . only two work, six could work and two work at a small capacity, but this is enough to keep the most important station working five and a half thousand out of 11.500, which should work. well, that suits us for today. as long as the enemy was too close, the shelling almost stopped. well, let's say there is still, but an insignificant part, but we are monitoring the mission. mgt. we have great hopes for the arrival, of course, but we have high hopes. no, we understand that this is the same european structure, which , uh, is the same as the olympic committee or

there, uh, the council of europe is all those who are on the payroll of the west and they will do and say what they will not be told call who shoots. they don't live where they go. they do not live even the targets of these shellings. well, they will say so, yes, we are watching, we are watching, although the mechanisms. they have , uh, they could at least offer their own design, and not like that in the form. remove troops. we will not remove any troops from there. we have a shelf for the sake of chemical protection, which is ready. well, god forbid, if there is a hit, here in the containers, e with working out. hiring e materials to get ready will be decontaminated to degas the area. we have today the armed forces, which without the heavy equipment that guards the nuclear power plant, and we are not going to withdraw them from there, because we know who we are dealing with and we also remember the minsk agreements, which merkel today confirmed that it was a common deception once again lit. just

as he said, the president and i absolutely agree with him, therefore, in this respect, our chief to, uh, kozyr, in this case, is not. it will be strength. you signed a decree on the introduction of special passes at the vasilievka checkpoint, uh. why was this done? yes, it may be related to increasing sabotage activity. quite right. we analyzed several months of sabotage activity of the drg and local e, the so-called ukrainian patriots hmm, with whom a system of communication via the internet has been established. first they give a task there, go there, go, look, then these 3,000 are on the account there. where are the cameras looking? well give us a clue. and here they are , gradually, gradually unwinding young people , recruiting people, recruiting former ato soldiers who live with us and in this way, uh, then supplying them with explosives, because explosives in the area. no. we understand this for sure, because not a single tnt

bomb has worked everywhere traces of c4, that is, an american explosive. eh, let 's say the device. well, it is also on the same basis, but i did not find it. this is not checkers from career work. it's not chess. military. it's an american explosive. competently assembled calls. it is all through the vasilievka checkpoint because there is no more, how would we close it, because after analyzing the situation. we clearly understood that everything passes through this checkpoint and not dogs they don’t find it, because you can hide it in the wheel, you can pour it with a special stink, which does not give the dog the opportunity. divide therefore introduced unprecedented measures to close the checkpoint temporarily. at least for now and special passes that we pass on people who are sick. uh, we went for surgery to those who have our registration. well, i mean, the zaporozhye region of the territory where they are now in exceptional cases, this is handled by a special

department, a special commission process, it became very complicated, but the pass was not given today, as about 50 people were passed today. this is such a category that we have no doubts that these are people who do not come to us to engage in extremism, because we have been evicted. a large number of people have already been expelled from the territory, who, in our opinion, they deserved it, because, well, we have people who tore down flags, insulted the commander-in-chief, provoked insulting military personnel , all the more participated if some rallies are first made a warning, the second time, they come to a person and warn that if it happens again, it means that he will be thrown out. well, in general, we get up like this, but this is the most humane form in which we do not create a situation so that, firstly, people themselves decide with them. uh, as they think, they didn’t suit samosots. well, in the end they did not fall under criminal liability, because if they are already engaged in extremist activities, then they are under

criminal liability and forty. we have provided for this very seriously work court. we have a prosecutor's office and forty there until 12:00 to 15 years. if it's not not serious, uh, consequences, if it's serious consequences, there's a whole different story, so today the vasilyevka checkpoint works very well. limited only in exceptional cases, i cannot but ask about the economy and the social sphere, as i understand the enterprise. well, not all of course, but the work managed to keep jobs as they are. uh, the matter now is the restoration of production for others, what about pensions, what about salaries? and they are taller they are lower, that is, here is how things are , which means that today we have all payments, if we start with utility payments, or rather social payments, then all social payments, except for maternity capital, are still paid the same way as in russia in any region of russia, from e care for the

elderly to coasts such as the birth of a child. e. in general, everything that is provided for in the russian federation. everything works for us, all programs, except for maternity capital. it 's a bit procedural, but it will work in the near future. i can say the pension like this, for example, my mother received a pension of 3,000 hryvnias. well, now we have the hryvnia ruble exchange rate practically one to one. that is, if we had 3,000 my mom now gets 10,000. well, i can say, following the example of my parents, and so that someone loses. uh, getting 10,000 today. well, almost none. we did not have a pension in ukraine of 10,000. well, there were 7-8 - this is the father received seven. he, uh, well, he's been retired for a long time, of course, but he had other salary levels there, therefore, from the point of view of the pension. we have not yet fully verified the entire spectrum. well , ukraine, unfortunately, the ukrainian authorities took away from us when we left. all our lists, all computer databases, were destroyed,

so we are now fully verifying all , all the people that we have of retirement age and here they fall into the retirement group. and we will have a pension and then already. well, not exactly lower. they will be counted who had a hot one. as someone who worked under other tariff norms, then, accordingly, we have will e higher, for some people, pension provision, which means that infrastructure projects today are among the most important such projects. i would say the most important one is, of course, roads. we have completely built the road, which was killed to death, thanks to melitopol berdyansk. e commissions under the leadership of boring ferzyanovich. khusnuli on e, by order of the president, the road was built; it is now in full readiness, people drive along it. people rate the quality as very high as well. road. now almost half of the road has been built, but i've been in

moscow for some time. now i can’t say exactly the numbers, but i can say that when i left, it was 10 days ago. uh, the section of the road was, uh, about 50% to build it is melitopol and simferopol is the road, which is quite heavily loaded now, especially due to the incident on the crimean bridge, a large amount of equipment is moving around us. the road is broken plus a military man who is also moving. and now the road is laid, about half, but by the end of the year, we probably won't. well , we hope, in general, that we will have time to finish the road, and also now i hmm met with the president 4 days ago. i had a ventia, and uh, the president gave me uh support for our project. and i am very encouraged by this that the zaporozhye region will have. uh, well, a freeway will also go through us, simferopol rostov will be a new project. a four-lane

road is the same as taurida in order to firstly remove the load from the bridge, uh, and such relevance u for the opponents of destruction bridge to cut off the crimea because if there is such a four-lane road, we will be able to pass more than 30,000 cars a day is not a question of the near future. this is a question. we are already preparing projects. we are preparing project documentation. and this project will involve 5,000 people just in maintenance. i mean, we're already doing it. and it will start literally since january, the first work in simferopol where you can work with us is still finishing off. unfortunately , the hummers, so we will build this site a second time. the first stage is done rostov and simferopol, that is, january. construction has already begun. let's start literally. first of the next year, a large infrastructure project was supported by the president, these are reclamation systems and a huge number of e, rivers, and canals that we will connect so that we will increase the entire region by more than three times, and the collection of mugs. if now we collect two. we

will collect six, this is from 30 billion to 90 billion. we will raise the collection only for agriculture. this is the fish rate to be developed. in this case. this is a large number of employees. e, in more than 5,000 people will be involved in this process. in the project of maintenance of this channel. again, we take water for free from the dnieper and the drop of the dnieper is 15 almost 16 m from sea level. well, it’s almost to melitopol, because there liman is sea level, and the dnieper is above us. if you look at the map, this is a 16 m difference in height, that is, the water flows by itself. a very profitable project was built in the soviet union at one time. by the way, we want to raise bonds to issue bonds for this, because i remind you that the kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station was built with the money of the peoples in 1954, bonds were issued, which were borrowed from people and, accordingly, the hydroelectric power station was built. the bonds were then paid off. she paid for herself the same way. we would like to offer this

project, while we have not yet passed the financial categorization. we have to go through everything in the ministry of finance mineke. well, in general, the process is underway, but so far it is also supported by the state grain company, which is currently engaged. it is the most important operator in the market. we have assembled all the elevators. we did not take from anyone, we handed them all over to control. they were like swedish french and so on. they still remain, but we transferred them to management and they all now work in the interests of the zaporozhye region, the staff of the state grain operator has been preserved. now it also works through portnyansk through the railway by road . today there is a communication that is necessary in order for the agricultural sector to live the work of the railway. of course, bridges are constantly being torn to us, hummers are constantly flying in, but we are restoring the hummer costs 100,000 there dollars, and we restored it for the rails for three. 4,000 dollars. well, this, if translated

into american costs, then in general, uh, ukraine, of course, uses inadequate. eh, today. all enterprises in the territory of the zaporizhia region work better or worse than their missile potential. well, of course, today it is much harder for some, because the logistics are severely disrupted . she is there from lipetsk with magnitogorsk and so on. there are difficulties. there is very positive moments, for example, a factory that made mortars. and today we make agricultural products that go to rostselmash, which goes to the krasnodar territory and the plant's load is up to 60%. that is, it’s not bad enough for it to be above the rate of return, and i can say to the honor of our entire administration that we have several such plants only in small mills or berdyansk plants are operating today, which were also, uh, taken under control by them

remained because of the owner at the plant. oz mol. today oil is being made for agricultural products, and earlier oil was made for ukrainian tanks. today it is made in a factory. reapers are produced for harvesters, jeeps also work, as which everyone is involved. we are building fortification roads with the help of reinforced concrete structures; with the help of reinforced concrete blocks, we are building an anti-tank fence. uh, plots are being made and then we continue the processing sector. all the elevators are working. all attraction gold masses work, except for pologovsky, because, unfortunately, it is very heavily shelled , all milk processing plants and factories all work. well, the commercial sector works by itself at prices. today we are slightly higher, somewhere from 7 to 12% of medicines. in our case, this is still connected with logistics and with a whole series that is not yet final. uh, there are some unfinished certification work , which we have. well, this is a

narcotic group, basically, which we still have difficulties, but we are gradually solving them in stores. uh, it’s worth we take it in crimean, because the main logistics we have is crimea well, there is exactly where there is, where we track this math up to seven-eight percent higher, but today we also cope with these tasks not for alcohol, nor for tobacco, nor for no, we have differences such that we can, you know , say that somewhere such a problem that is not directly solvable. well, basically the problem is being solved, the road is sitting, walking. yes, there will be many more projects. the main thing, as they say, is to drive the enemy away. hope this happens soon. yes, we hope so too, because this is just the most the main driver that people will return. uh, no matter how much we say, no matter how much we do, but if they shoot, you understand that people are running, no, not on ideological grounds, they take this war. and this, unfortunately, you can’t think of anything, and therefore, yes,

we have a large outflow, we should have six 650,000 people now, in fact, we are doing telephone calculations, we see that we have less than 500. well, people will return after talking with the guys on the front line, you understand how ready people are today. that 's what the fuse is, what i am today they have an energy impulse that, leaving their families, most of them came in order to finish it for our grandfathers. and we must do it. i have an older son in the battalion. i'll tell you. i often talk to him. they go on special missions. they are being trained well now, of course, and now i am also talking to him. he says the guys say, of course, mostly motivated precisely by the task. that's what they said there for the money, well, like money yes, but i'll tell you. today, this is definitely not the main thing. i see that it's not most importantly i can. to be honest, this is not the main thing today. today, everyone is united by this idea, and this is precisely the important task that the president has solved. i hope that

we will continue to move forward in such a way that society will be monitored in such a way that we will all understand how we all need it, and mothers let go of their sons’ anxiety, but let them go. they will still understand where they are going. thank you very much for answering ours. thank you very much. thank you. but we continue the fsb stopped the activities of the criminal group that carried out the task ukrainian special services in the perm territory of the jewish autonomous rostov region detained citizens of russia and ukraine, they are suspected of preparing terrorist attacks and sabotage, as well as collecting and transferring secret information to the kiev regime. ukrainian troops

fired 20 shells at donetsk in an hour and a half. they beat, including in the petrovsky district of the city, according to the joint control center of the armed forces, they used heavy artillery and rocket systems over the past day in the dpr, three dead, four wounded, our special correspondent is monitoring the situation in the region. stanislav bird gorlovka was beaten with everything all night today, everything was possible in donetsk, it was more or less calm, but this is such a temporary calm. here, the kuibyshev region was struck at night, we are on the spot, a direct hit on a residential building, most likely, 155 caliber rescuers managed to quickly put out, we see serious destruction. here , here, fragmentation, especially here, characteristic of 155, an investigative committee is working on the spot. what do we see, what do we know? what can we say at this moment?
