got caught. here we are, when we started to sing the roughing operation, we got lobai and this 308 caliber is a rifle from which we will make a world record. well, they only worked with them at the training ground, because the battle was very close somewhere, the rifle made a lot of no sense. these are long range rifles. this is such a range for him, that what is her range, well, the world record for the third, in essence, is more than kilometers. yes, and so calmly at 2.000 any. well, a little sniper training with such a rifle was easy to shoot, of course costs. here's another comparison to make. yes, here what the enemy is fighting with, what are we. well , you know, they didn’t only do it with a rifle , they prepared us here, a sniper. sergeevichkovsky said the same thing now about tankers and they do a lot of time as a specialist. here we are since 2014, the fifteenth,

when the bili-minsk agreement had enough time, the guys have prepared. and now, for example, we are a substitute for malachite, so that the guys would be prepared to continue working with large-caliber rifles. and at they have a whole few years of work experience and the americans can give the british. uh, what is the name of the ukrainian rifle there took something. well, you can't do good in 3 months, a sniper doesn't need training. uh callsign deca, serbian military volunteer. dnr now farmer hmm farmer sniper yes, you have a lot, yes, a writer, well, yes, of course, judging by the number of your subscribers. yes. and you can really say what to write or a publicist writes a book. so there is me in russian, in general. i don't know, by the way i will read it with great pleasure, thank you

very much for being in our studio again, uh , live on the program of the fifth studio in russia 24. thank you for your attention. breakthrough blockade of leningrad takes part in commemorative events in st. petersburg. protecting positions of the armed forces and important industrial facilities from air attack in the ministry of defense showed footage of the combat work of letter complexes in the special operation zone period of the word of the old system, international relations and a turning point for russian foreign policy sergei lavrov will sum up the diplomatic results of 2022. we are waiting for the minister’s big annual press conference. and the eve of the holiday the priest the orthodox orthodox church today is christmas eve in some areas of yakutia

they decided to refuse epiphany bathing this year because of 50 ° morozov today is 80 years from the day the blockade of leningrad was broken, president vladimir putin takes part in commemorative events he has already laid flowers at the monument to the frontier stone and grandson to the monument mother rodina on piskarevsky. cemetery details, we learn from anastasia efimov she joins the northern capital. i welcome nastya, how this day began in st. petersburg. what other plans does the head of state have today? hello well , the piskarevskoye memorial cemetery that you mentioned is indeed a traditional point for memorial commemorative events on the days of the breakthrough or the anniversary of the complete lifting of the blockade of leningrad, and of course, visiting them by the president is also a tradition, especially in these january days. today's exception was not

the head of state walked along the line, laid mourning wine and stood to the sounds of metronome, which during the blockade days for the city was actually a pulse symbol of the heartbeat of the city standing to death.

hundreds of thousands of people who did not survive the siege of leningrad are buried at the piskaryovskoye memorial cemetery, these are mass graves in one of which the elder

brother of the russian president is buried. the president also laid flowers on me today. traditionally, on such memorable dates, the program is not just a presidential one. this is the program of a native leningrader, first of all, because with each of the real places only president, of course, personal

memoirs are connected in the same way as they are connected with the piskarevsky memorial cemetery , they are the heads of state and with nevsky piglet where his father fought, where he defended the city where he was seriously wounded, was taken out of the battle by his comrade, which actually saved him life today, vladimir putin laid flowers at the memorial, the milestone stone, which just stands on that very bloody bridgehead.

with those who survived those terrible 900 days of nights with the children of the besieged city with representatives of the besieged veterans and public organizations, the heads of state will also meet today in st. petersburg, but later as part of a working trip to the northwestern federal district. dedicate the obukhov plant, communicate with its employees. and of course, to meet with the governor of st. petersburg alexander anastasia , thank you, we will be waiting for your new live broadcasts, we will be in touch during this day.

anastasia yefimova was from st. petersburg and now on our air is the annual press conference of the minister of foreign affairs of russia sergey lavrov good afternoon, dear colleagues, we traditionally, we meet at the beginning of the new year to talk about the outcome of events. the past year, which was, of course, very , very difficult, i would even say unique to some extent, because in the course of 2022, deep-seated trends appeared in geopolitics in international aspirations, the leading states of the trend that were surveyed before. uh, not a single decade. i would say so, er, of course, our western colleagues sought to make ukraine and everything that is happening around it. main

the main event is the main media and political economic event accusing the russian federation of the fact that the so -called aggression against ukraine became the cause of all the troubles of the world economy. but i will not even dwell on refuting these allegations, because the statistics, including the the statistics of the international monetary fund of the world bank, and the food organization fau and other international structures, convincingly says that the crisis developed e, long before the start of a special military operation of the president. putin has repeatedly cited data that characterize. how did the negative phenomena in the world economy begin, primarily as a result of the selfish position of the united states and its allies. therefore, what is happening now

in ukraine is, uh, the result of many years of preparations by the united states and its satellites for the start of hmm, a global hybrid war against the russian federation . nobody really hides this. and if you read, unbiased western hmm figures, including mm political scientists scientists e politicians, otherwise you can in this, but it is easy to be convinced. it was literally in the last few days . uh, an article by a professor at columbia university, jan bremennykh, where he wrote that we are not in a cold war with russia, we are in a hot war with russia nato is fighting russia through ukraine is quite a frank admission. it lies on the surface. this conclusion lies on the surface. it is strange that they are trying to

somehow, but to refute it. well, and finally, quite recently, croatian president milana said things that this is a nato war frankly honest yes, a few weeks ago , henry kissinger, before he was the last one in his article called, uh, to accept russia, nato, ukraine into nato, uh, in one of his articles here a couple of weeks ago , he wrote very clearly that what is happening in ukraine is a clash of rivalry between two nuclear powers for control of this territory. pretty clear in my opinion, what is at stake. therefore, when our western partners deny and prove with foam at the mouth that they are not at war with russia, because they they only help ukraine cope with aggression, restore its territorial integrity. they are cunning, the volume of support

clearly indicates that the west has put a lot of things into this war against russia . according to the desire of the united states a to stop striving to strengthen its position in the world by legitimate means and to switch to illegitimate methods of ensuring its dominance, everything is destroyed. as you can see, and not because what we see in ukraine, all those mechanisms that the west created, led by the united states, which it considered sacred, were destroyed. this is a free market. this is fair competition free enterprise.

the inviolability of property, the presumption of innocence, everything on which the western model of globalization was based collapsed overnight. all this is applied against russia against other sanctions that contradict these postulates by this mechanism are applied against. in russia against other objectionable countries, but it is clear that tomorrow the day after tomorrow they can be launched against any state that one way or another will not recklessly carry out american orders. the european union, i think, here e is not needed for a long time, but talking about this completely obeyed the american dictate and the apotheosis of this process, which was suspected for several years, and became a recent signing of the declaration on january 10 joint declarations of nato and the european union and which explicitly states

that nato and the eu have the task of using all political, economic and military means in the interests of the golden billion directly and said in the interests of our one billion. given the countries of nato and the european union, everything else, in the expression of the barrels of this jungle, which prevent , e, a flowering garden from developing, therefore, these jungles must be reformatted , adjusted to fit their needs, turned into colonies of a new type and mercilessly pumped out from there and further, but by new methods , resources of the means, well-known are demonization, blackmail uh, sanctions uh, threats by force. uh, many other things, including now this is especially noticeable on the line of the west on the

destruction of traditional historical ties partners of different regions of fragmentation and destabilization of these regions. we are apparently in the balkans. we see this in the post-soviet space, especially if we analyze the actions of the united states and their clients and uh helpers in central asia in the transcaucasus well, of course, everything that happens around ukraine that matured around ukraine for a very long time, at least in 2004 the year when the first maidan was first heard from the lips of european officials, ukraine should choose with whom it is with the west or with russia, and since then it has been or or advanced. uh, in the policy of the west in relation to this region, it is consistent those who chose the wrong one or and expected that, after all, his historical ties,

family ties, uh, traditions, and religious beliefs connect him with the russian federation. although he or she lives in ukraine, their . alternatives either with the west or with russia , they were needed in order to identify those who are not with the west, who are against, the west began

to actively and actively punish them, and, of course, here you are returning from the declaration. nato the european union is a very interesting document, these two structures of nato and the eu are declared an alliance of democracy against autocracies in the context of global rivalry, that is, a deliberately confrontational agenda has been proclaimed to the whole world and at the same time, as i said, europe has lost its independence, and the joint declaration was directly steeled by the europeans subordinate positions to the north atlantic alliance, in fact pulls them up contains their obligations to serve american interests in the matter of geopolitical deterrence containment of russia and china and the goal as a whole is proclaimed. e, which was already

known to everyone, but it has now been documented once again, the achievement of the global superiority of the entire euro-atlantic alliance led by the americans, but this is not limited to the organization of the life of the european continent since the madrid summit, which took place last june , proclaimed. the global responsibility of this military bloc, especially in relation to the asia-pacific region, which should be called these ocean region is clear. an attempt to flirt with india in order to introduce additional difficulties in relations with the people's republic of china. well, uh, the slogan of the indivisibility of security in the euro-atlantic region and in the endo-pacific region was proclaimed such a play on words, if earlier in the osce and in the nato council of russia

since the nineties we wrote down an oath commitment to the principle of the indivisibility of security, which meant equal security for each state. and, uh, obligations not to increase your security at the expense of the security of others, now you yourself the term was taken out of context, it was recognized as a new meaning of the indivisibility of the interests of nato and the difference between them in the pacific region. of course you notice and it's understandable. you are up to the pacific region, as the westerners call it, set a course for the creation of a bloc architecture against russia, the people's republic of china, with this goal being destroyed sequentially. although uh, those mechanisms of deformation

of cooperation that have been created around the osians for decades, on the principles of equality on the principles of seeking consensus , prefer to remain silent about this. balance of interests, military blocs are created instead, as well. the clearest example is the anglo-saxon block in asia, uh, the united states of britain and australia are actively drawing japan into this block, and the recent visit of prime minister kishida to washington ended with a confirmation of this course, and japan is again on the path of militarization. uh, changes are coming, as i understand the articles of the constitution that prevented this. and so the process began. and well, in general, if you look, i will not now talk in detail about the actions of the west in other directions geopolitical er, but in general, if briefly

said. what is the position of the united states and the west today, uh, which we consider the main problem that creates difficulties for everyone in all azimuths, it’s about uh, sounds like washington’s course to dictate international affairs, if simple means literally the following we americans are allowed to. whatever we want, and wherever we want, even on the other side of the earth, whatever seems necessary to us, we will do. and to you all others without our american consent. nothing can be done even in response to direct threats to your security that we ourselves create on your borders. here, if so absolutely, well, simplified. well, just like

napoleon mobilized almost all of europe against the russian empire, how hitler mobilized, captured and put under arms most of the european countries and threw them against the soviet union, now the united states has also formed a coalition of almost all europeans who are members of nato yes, and not only members of nato from members of the european union, too. and through ukraine, by proxy, they are waging war against our country with the same task of finally resolving the russian question. just like hitler wanted to finally solve the jewish question now, if you read western politicians. not only from the baltic states from poland, but also much more sane, they are definitely. it is said that russia must suffer a strategic

defeat, in some in some. uh editions of political scientists. uh, they are actively discussing the need to wildly colonize russia again, they say. it is too big and interferes with us here, but just the other day i read it on article in the telegraph, which is called to release. abkhazia in south ossetia, transnistria, leaving karelia koenigsberg and the kuriles for negotiations, well, it is clear that this is a scoreboard and yellow press. we are so compelled to read it, because it sometimes pops up on the front pages of the news, but no one in the west has heard these and similar statements about such things, including among our system among our systemic

opposition. none of these western politicians refutes this. and mr macron in addition to his draft european political community, which is directly exalted as a format to which all europeans will be invited, except for ukraine and belarus now. here is a new idea. i heard to which he put forward, uh, to convene a conference of european states. where the countries participating in the eastern partnership will invite the members of the european union are georgia, armenia, azerbaijan and, accordingly, moldova, ukraine these belaruss, here they are belarus, i doubt that they will invite, but it says the european union of the eastern partnership countries, plus i draw your attention to emigrants from the russian

federations that are actively engaged in political activities abroad, and plus it is also stipulated there, and this is not in the presentation of the macron itself, but in the comments that followed it, that certain regions of the russian federation that aspire to save. uh, ties with europe well , in my opinion, it’s clear what we are talking about, and therefore, the situation is not at all as black and white as our western colleagues are trying to present it, and it reflects a course towards a global dominance unquestioning obedience to everyone and everything under the threat of punishment. as you can see for yourself, none of the western politicians here is talking about anything other than sanctions. here

now in davos ursula fondalaya once again. e threatened both us and belarus with new sanctions. we know how to lead the males, like the soul and paint the russian economy so that it falls into a recession for a decade. that's what we're talking about. this is e. well, here, they say, here is such an expression, the masks have been thrown off for many, many years, when the un security website discussed these sanctions in regarding this or that country, which, well, violated international law. she violated her obligations, and every time the westerners, who initiated certain sanctions measures, swore under an oath that it was not about punishment, but the sanctions that would punish the peoples, the population correspond to these sanctions against the regimes, where now these exhortations of sanctions against russia are openly declared , as aimed at ensuring that

the people make a revolution against the current leaders of russia here already no one will observe any decency complies and does not intend to comply. and yet , of course, it is a reaction. here it is frenzied. an attempt by all means, by hook or by crook, by forbidden methods to ensure dominance in the united states and the rest of the west , which washington completely crushed under itself. this frenzy still reflects the understanding that historically they act. uh, against the objective course of events, and in fact they are trying to stop the formation of a multipolar world, which is not happening, uh, by the decision of some cabinets on the stream or in some other capital is just happening.

naturally, because countries are developing economically. take china . take india as our strategic partners. look at turkey, brazil , argentina. e from egypt to many african countries. a continent where the potential for development, taking into account the colossal reserves of natural resources, is forming new centers of economic growth. the west is trying to prevent this, including on the mechanisms that were created to serve its interests within the framework of globalization created by it. and, of course, here the role of the dollar as a reserve currency is one of the fundamentals.
