in the process, which country could mediate to prevent a war in ukraine so that we don't continue to experience u loss of life u on both sides and the second question regarding military exercises u in the indian ocean next month between u, russian and there has been a very mixed reaction from the chinese navy to the kind of engagement we expect next month with some people criticizing this decision madam minister pandora. why do we allow such exercises to be carried out. uh considering those tensions or war that exists in ukraine, uh, what are your prospects? what is the reaction of south africa and mr. after all, the criticism is that the timing

of these training sessions is not correct. any conferences thank you for your application. well, as for the first part, which you detailed, we have publicly expressed our assessments many times already and i am sure that the representatives of the media all over the world who are showing interest. e to what is happening around ukraine they could not get acquainted with our e comments, which were made both at the level of the president and at the level of your obedient servant. and we immediately, as soon as the ukrainian side, and in early march, offered to start negotiations. we answered consent took place three rounds in belarus several rounds were organized in the format of a videoconference. and then a meeting took place

at the end of march of the storm at the invitation of our turkish colleagues and their istanbul ukrainian delegation proposed a draft settlement, which we supported. and on the basis of which on the basis of which in full in accordance with the principles that ukraine has formulated, we have already prepared a draft agreement e with a legal one. as the language says, at that moment the ukrainian side received signals from washington, london, brussels. i don’t know where else, about which they said. ukrainians, it’s too early for you to decide negotiate with the russians, if the russians agreed to negotiate, then they feel weakness and they need to be squeezed at

the same time, mr. bariel, who heads the diplomacy of the european union , said that ukraine should win on the field fight. i do not remember that any of the journalists who are now interested in the prospects for the peace process at that moment asked the gentleman. why he keeps talking not about diplomacy, but about a military solution to the conflict, i don’t remember and still doesn’t ask our western colleagues, who regularly toast the same gentleman. this is from the general secretary. mr. stoltenberg’s nato, then the representation of representatives of the american administration or the european union declare that it is still too early for ukraine to start negotiating needs to be reclaimed. e more. uh, in this situation, in this situation, and start negotiations from a position of strength, so that russia is defeated.

they say directly that russia should be returned to the borders since 1991. i'm sure you couldn't be unaware of these statements. well, uh, the question of who can put forward as an intermediary, mr. zelensky in september last year, signed a decree , a legally binding document that prohibits any ukrainian official from negotiating with the russian side. ask any intermediary to clarify. uh, how does the ukrainian side see itself, but sees, uh, further further development of events, we have repeatedly said the president does not refuse negotiations, but those who refuse. and i just listed them, they should understand that the longer they refuse to negotiate, the more difficult it

will be to find a solution. uh, that's the thing about the first question, well, about naval exercises. i think there is nothing even to comment on three sovereign countries, without violating any norms of international law conducts the teaching. e. well, i don't understand who they can call? as you said , a mixed reaction, but, probably, in our american colleagues, american colleagues believe that only they can conduct exercises around the world. and not only at their more than uh, 200 military bases around the globe, but anywhere. now they are actively engaged in naval exercises as part of their so-called indo- pacific strategies, and around the people 's republic of china in the south china sea, and in the taiwan strait, and no one has it

causes no mixed reaction. at least, i have not heard that the media are somehow very interested. and what is america doing for uh, 10,000 even more miles from its shores. they are transparent, we, together with our south african and chinese partners , presented the necessary information that is available and i'm not here of course, maybe, you see, you say, a mixed reaction. uh, representatives of the white house some time ago, when they were asked a question at the briefing. and when there were such and such russian delegations in nicaragua, and asked how washington felt about the trip of russian representatives to this country, and the answer was very direct. uh, the relationship between russia and the ship is of

concern to us. here is your reaction. therefore, there are those who have usurped or are trying to usurp, and international relations openly declare that there can be none. competitors from the united states and announced by russia this was sergey lavrov's press approach after the meeting with the minister of foreign affairs of south africa . let me remind you this morning the head of the russian. mida arrived in praetoria, where he is scheduled to have a series of negotiations in st. petersburg today they say goodbye to the soviet and russian journalist bella kurkova. she passed away on january 19th. after a serious illness in the eighty-eighth year of her life, kurkova was the honored worker of culture of the ussr, the head of the culture studio of the state television and radio broadcasting company

st. petersburg, for more than 60 years, she gave leningrad and then st. petersburg television in 1991 to 2000. kurkova was the director of the leningrad directorate of the all-russian state television and radio broadcasting company, under her leadership, the foundations were laid petersburg broadcasting of the russian tv channel, kurkova was awarded the order of friendship and the order of merit for the fatherland of the fourth degree. and now we are back to broadcasting from him we don't want any scandals any confrontation. we are simply for each country to have its own rights in the international system. as it is stipulated by the charter of won, it is precisely on such bases on the bases of not diktat on equal rights on the basis of not imposing decisions. and on the basis of consensus, the search for a balance of interests, we are developing our

interaction, including within the framework. big thanks for your questions. we discussed this issue of the conflict between russia and ukraine. have you heard the position of ours and south africa in favor of diplomatic solutions and negotiations? especially in the context of the un, which is a global institution that we have all accepted. uh was accepted as an institution for solving international problems, and we repeat, as for who will it be

, sergey lavrov's press approach after meeting with the south african foreign minister will remind this morning the head of the russian. mida has arrived in praetoria, where he has a series scheduled negotiations. well, a little bit. it's not a matter, but to take a loan with state support and produce more goods. here is the thing. in the center. my business. this is assistance in obtaining preferential loans and other measures to support entrepreneurs centers. my business is a big deal for a small business. all january wins every third ticket. buy tickets in stores and on the website stolotom.ru. no, super discount, the discount is working, we

robert frantsev welcome to asia this is a program for those who want to feel how the heart of the continent beats. let's do it together let's listen to the rhythm of greater eurasia today in the program of the energy crisis, the likes of which, perhaps, have not yet been in the history of central asia, as the frosts led to the communal disaster. what does the accession of iran to the eurasian union mean as miss universe turned into an apology contest and the supervillain man opossum became a dekugan 20 people died due to severe frosts local tv channel reports, but anomalous cold became a terrible test for the entire region even much more prosperous countries felt painful consequences, the state of emergency was introduced in the city of maylusu in southern kyrgyzstan after the

local river was ice-bound, water pipes and sewerage were frozen, the city with a population of several thousand people was left without five. water, and then without heating, to attract the attention of the authorities communal disaster. people went to the rally. and this is how the city is trying to warm up the frozen communications. it is not known how much benefit this will bring with such a smoke that we breathe now. the republican prosecutor's office is investigating. why public utilities were not ready for the fact that water freezes at temperatures below zero anomalous frosts came to kyrgyzstan on january 10 on the plain the temperature dropped to 24 ° below zero, and in the mountains and below 42 information about interruptions in electricity and heating came from different parts of the country , bishkek is traditionally saved by coal. and in general, everyone that is on fire, terrible footage shot with a drone, the city cannot be seen under a dense veil of smog in the capital of kyrgyzstan, according to iq air, again in the

leaders of the world anti-rating of cities with the most dirty air. in the twenty-third year, kyrgyzstan may face a significant shortage of electricity, a possible shortage is estimated at almost 2 billion kilowatt-hours , said the deputy head, tarabaev, due to the cold, consumption increased sharply, based on calculations. this year, consumption will amount to 16.6 billion hours , energy supplies from kazakhstan and turkmenistan can cover the deficit. energy. talabek, ibraev has already asked the kyrgyz people for forgiveness for interruptions in the supply of electricity. he admitted that it is not yet known when they will stop. it all depends on the weather lack of energy is a problem. the total consumption for the entire region at the peak of cold weather in uzbekistan reached the highest level of 250 million kwh of energy. only in tashkent on january 13, consumption increased by 32 million. for various reasons, emergencies

and restrictions, consumers received less than a million kwh of energy. there are a lot of reasons for this - oddly enough, this is the economic growth in residential construction. mo in tashkent is going at an unprecedented pace, small business is developing, add here gaps in planning and depreciation of communications. the coldest winter in half a century. it exposed the accumulated problems. when it was -20 in tashkent, and in other regions and up to 30 frost, the load became critical , it was planned to cover the deficit at the expense of supplies from turkmenistan and gas and electricity, but again, the weather made its own adjustments. in turkmenistan, it is also not may, and the gas stopped flowing, the official reason for the formation of hydrates in the pipeline. these are hard crystals. they appeared due to severe cold in turkmenistan in its southern part temperature down to -27°. and as a result , these crystals literally clogged the system. why countries with different economic systems have faced in general the same difficulties, a bottleneck and a problematic area,

while in the countries of central asia, on the one hand, there is a worn-out and often not modernized infrastructure for a long time. uh or uh infrastructure that no longer meets the needs of volumes of e use, that is, it is necessary to build more powerful gas pipelines and distribution networks, and the power plants themselves are also needed and additional power plants and modernization of old ones to increase the production capacity of these power plants, and on the other hand, the need for the energy carriers themselves is growing. and this also becomes a sore point. and, because, for example, for 22 years we have heard both from representatives of kazakhstan and from representatives of uzbekistan that countries, and after a short period of time, will cease to be gas exporters altogether, for example, and will become gas importers, the situation once again

showed how interdependent countries are v energy sector, but why are we talking about this interdependence more and more often in the context of emerging problems. back in soviet times, an electric power ring was created to connect with the state of central asia a-a periodically, but the number of participants in this energy ring decreased, then someone returned, but it has both pluses and minuses, and when there is no sufficient modernization and repairs within the framework of a common energy ring, and in general the energy systems of the participants in this energy ring, then risks for everyone. if one side. uh, what is called set to zero? that is, it has some big problems, a big blackout, but this causes a shutdown of the energy system for all neighboring countries that participate in the common energy ring, so the full advantages of the energy ring can be revealed only if there are

reserve capacity margin of safety. it can be said that the participating countries have a participant then this tool allows you to increase the efficiency of the situation in uzbekistan showed that economic development that is not backed by an energy base is fraught with disproportionate pressures, where there may be potential. to provide energy and a growing economy, the population in uzbekistan is growing at a fairly large rate, er, and following it. naturally, energy consumption in the country is also growing. e, both individual types of energy carriers, and electricity in general, therefore. and of course follow. behind these trends, investments in the creation of infrastructure should have been increased, and modernization and power plants of distribution networks of gas pipelines. uh, boiler rooms and so on. here, in particular, russia proposes to create not a kinetic alliance between russia and

kazakhstan and uzbekistan, but this format could also be considered as the creation of certain ends, that is, joint ventures of joint companies that could, but invest in infrastructure development, or there creation and the separate operator. these are infrastructures. uh, or some other format of return on investment, but, nevertheless, russia is ready to invest in energy projects in central asia in general and in uzbekistan in particular, and in particular, because gazprom in particular needs to look for new markets for its products in an environment where there has been a reduction in the volume of supplies to europe and a little about other news from the past week in kazakhstan, the lower house of parliament was dissolved. the decision was made by the president. according to him, such a measure was necessary, based on the constitutional reform, which, let me remind you

, involves a new principle for the formation of the majilis. now 70% of deputies will be elected on party lists, and 30 in single-mandate constituencies, special elections will be held on march 19. moreover, re-elections to maslekhats are also scheduled for the same date, that is, regional and city parliaments, operatives of the kyrgyz ministry of internal affairs detained criminals involved in drug smuggling to the republic with the territory of tajikistan with them. they found 12 kg of briquettes. hashish. now the investigation will have to reach out to likely accomplices, of whom there may be a lot , since it is most likely that the activities of a large drug cartel in bishkek rally took place. requiem dedicated to the 80th anniversary. more than 4,000 natives of kyrgyzstan died in the battles for the liberation of the city on the neva after the blockade of leningrad was broken. the republic itself received 16,000 evacuees from leningrad, including many children. but back to the

main topic, the cold became a real disaster for the inhabitants of the region for tens of thousands of people, the situation developed dramatically without gas, the heating was turned off. people tried to keep warm with the help of electrical appliances, but in the end they were left without heat and everything looks like without light. this really scary frozen apartments on video film frostbitten limbs in the absence of light and gas. residents of entire districts began to go out and cook food on fires. the ministry of defense of uzbekistan deployed field kitchens and heating points. the ministry of internal affairs and the national guard set up tents where residents could get hot food, warm up and charge mobile devices. a military band helped people not to lose heart. well done at an emergency meeting, the president of uzbekistan shavkat mirziyoyev gave a scolding he accused officials of unsystematic work and increased cases of theft of energy resources. in the past month alone, 5,000 illegal connections to the power grid and 4,500 were detected. gas tie-in, the president

dismissed several profile officials of his post, lost the measures of tashkent jahangir artekdzhaev at the beginning of the energy crisis. he called the tashkents. it was not possible to survive from the long-term mersey set the task already in the thirtieth year. provide up to a quarter of all generation from renewable sources energy, the construction of a nuclear power plant will also help to improve the energy balance, but the potential of traditional energy sources is far from being exhausted in the fall. russia invited uzbekistan and kazakhstan to coordinate efforts on gas, including for further exports to china, kazakhstan's first deputy prime minister roman sklyar and gazprom head alexei miller signed a roadmap details this week. not yet, and it is obvious that any premature speculation on this topic is as harmful and irresponsible as possible, but alas, this is obviously far not everyone, and even in such a difficult situation , some media invent reasons for stuffing and provocations. who, at the word of the grandmother, offers to

freeze his ears, we will discuss with the orientalist igor knyazev. how strange the region needs russia's participation in solving energy problems. and why it can only be mutually beneficial and equal to start, probably due to the fact that there are quite objective reasons for this energy crisis in all e, five even in the countries of central asia that have been generated. eh, actually. behold, in the meantime that has passed after the collapse of the soviet union, i mean completely, when the tropical state of the entire energy infrastructure, both electrical structures, it is generally difficult to say its wear and tear is there in kazakhstan, kyrgyzstan, tajiks. well, yes, in fact, probably, in some places in all the republics , only one single country has its own gas for its own consumption . negotiations have been underway with kazakhstan for several years now. literally these days. they have resumed. uh, there is

proposal from the russian side. there is a desire on the part of the kazakh side that the russian citizens of the company take up gasification of the northern north-eastern regions of kazakhstan, respectively, with supplies, exports a certain amount of gas. but in fact , uh, at the same time, it has a very large deficit. uh, that's a bit of fuel. why the topic of cooperation in the gas sector has become such a burning topic of the gas union, which was voiced by our president during the summit e, in astana, it has become very contoured precisely in in such a political space, first of all, russia everything is in first place in the world, by far the first place in the world in terms of proven gas reserves, one of the two or three leaders in the production of this gas. uh, that’s why there is a certain infrastructure, through which earlier, uh, the central asian gas show fell

into the common allied pipelines, it can be deployed to reverse these gas supplies in the opposite direction, uzbekistan is almost definitely from an exporter when it turned into an importer. uh, well, in kyrgyzstan, in tajikistan, and the citizens have never eaten very interesting examples. eh, about 7 years ago. uh, i bought the gas transportation system of kyrgyzstan. acquired by gazprom, and if before that e in kyrgyzstan there were always problems with gas supplies from uzbekistan, there gas was turned off due to non-payment on time. uh, there were cases when for some political reasons. uh, there were gas shutdowns, and such difficult winter periods. that's after the owner of the gas transmission network. there, gazprom, these problems have absolutely disappeared, the only alternative in terms of energy. uh, to overcome those crises that are literally years away. eh,

even more island will begin and will occur than this year. this is nuclear energy, but nuclear power plants are not being built quickly, and the crisis will begin earlier, so the russian gas union would be a way out for these countries, while we see a huge amount of stuffing and speculation on the topic of cooperation in the gas sector, in your opinion, they have an internal nature or inspired from outside i think here uh double play with one sides. these are internal complexes of a part and an elite part of the population that have not been overcome, so to speak, the emerging rolls are actually erroneous. well, like most complexes. yes, it is necessary to look at freud's theory here. as we were in the colony, and she scored, we are still offended and so on, but on the other hand , this is used to excuse. there is no doubt, uh, in their own way, american for example, yes, and european politicians also do not

hide the fact that they would like to disrupt, uh, the interaction is so constructive positive interaction between the countries of the region and russia and a little more about other news in the kyrgyz city of manas a real superhero has been found. this is a store security guard who rebuffed several robbers at once, an elderly man deftly fought off young criminals with a shopping basket, thus putting them on the run grigoriev moscow financed this project for $4 million in just the last 10 years, russia has allocated more than $85 million for food for tajik schoolchildren amusing video from the karaganda region, local residents climbed to the fifth floor of an apartment building on horseback and then

descended back in the same way a jigit. it seems that he hoped to become famous in social networks and achieved his goal. however, the police regarded the actions as hooliganism and opened a case. and one more step on the way to greater eurasia eurasian economic union, and iran has agreed on all points on the free trade zone. the prospects for such cooperation are impressive. iran, for example, can supply agricultural products there. uh, good capacity for fruits, vegetables, canned products. e of the russian federation can supply, but everything that actually supplied before this year. you are no problem. and without any restrictions, iran a can supply engineering products. it was recently known that they were going to supply their cars. uh, they have some products, mineral raw materials, which were bought here by russians, in particular

by metallurgists, but the russian federation can obviously supply products and engineering or you goods. well, the same agricultural products that are already presented today. there grain meat there something else and at the end of some warming news miss universe 2023, the main world show, the handsome man turned into an apology contest, at first the organizers, even on the fourth attempt, could not pronounce kyrgyzstan and then they introduced altynai-batoyarov from bishkek as a participant from kazakhstan , realized the wine promptly apologized first in writing, and then we recorded a video message to prevent a repetition of embarrassment. ex-premier. felix skulov proposed a radical option to rename the country to the republic of kyrgyz. not everyone appreciated the idea, but this idea. well, why is there a lot of e not only in our country, probably, in world practice, we have recently noticed that many politicians have e. eh, try this

way. i can't even tell to assert itself or to operate with periodization of the countries of the cities of the region, well, the given initiative directly, if it concerns from our side, i can say that it received a very negative response. yes, and as we say, uh, a literate person, in any case, will know and pronounce our country correctly, but illiterate people. at least 100 times we will not rename it incorrectly. in any case, they made a mistake, and the very word will stand up. she is very ancient. uh for today. this is a prefix, so to speak the identity of a given state is designated by the state itself, and i would like to say that such initiatives are unlikely to be found, and as we see from practice today, they did not find a proper response. and for us it looks just like another populism on the part of some politicians, and the next reason to remind yourself, and

then the participant herself continued to apologize at miss universe.
