french self-propelled guns caesar swedish howitzers archer and because of which there was a lot of controversy german tanks leopard 2 are the main positions in the new seventh package of military assistance to ukraine from the eu, it is estimated at 500 million euros, they will be sent from the fund in peace, maybe not so much if take into account that the european union has already spent about 50 billion on kiev, but it is important that the heads of the eu foreign minister agreed on heavy offensive equipment, namely tanks, on the eve of the opening of the so -called dollars for ukraine at the

ramstein airbase this issue is not, and now the head of european diplomacy, jose barrel, assures that agreements have nevertheless been reached. today we have reached a political agreement to allocate ukraine the seventh early military aid in the amount of 500 million euros and in the department of 45 million euros for the training of ukrainian military personnel under the eu training program what about? the minister is discussing this problem . i can say that germany does not create obstacles for other countries to supply leopard 2 tanks to ukraine. germany does not block their export. almost all the west today opposes russia, this was stated by the chief of the general staff of the armed forces of the army general valery gerasimov in an interview with arguments and facts gerasimov admitted that such a level and intensity of military operations of modern russia did not know anything yet and the statement of the chief of the general staff with new military threats to russia became

the aspiration of the north atlantic alliance to expand beyond account of finland and sweden, as well as the use of ukraine as a tool for conducting a hybrid war to neutralize of these threats, the country's top leadership set the task of adjusting the plan for the construction and development of the armed forces, according to gerasimov, at the heart of the plan for creating the moscow and leningrad military districts, as well as new divisions. a hybrid war of the west against russia spoke the day before and foreign minister sergei lavrov, he is on a working visit to the republic of south africa , according to lavrov, western countries have been preparing the conflict in ukraine for a long time, trying to destroy everything russian. what other topics were discussed at the talks of foreign ministers russia and south africa will tell our correspondent elizaveta khramtsova. 4:00 in the morning after a 12:00 flight and a trip to the city, there is very little time left to take a breath, because there is a rich program of african tour ahead of the hotel in pretoria, where the

delegation of the hosts' flags is located and the russian tricolors meet tete-a-tete the chief ministers of the two countries one operator and one photographer are being consulted at this time in an extended format. dozens of reporters are waiting. the visit is covered live and such attention is evident on lady pander. you are a popular person. here, mr. lavrov, because usually so many people do not come to us, and the situation around ukraine, questions sounded of different tonalities, they asked about the possibility of a peaceful settlement. russia is open to him, but zelensky banned negotiations at the legislative level, another question was long and sounded more like an accusation sergey lavrov told how he places artillery installations in living quarters, how ukrainian air defense redirects a missile into multi-storey buildings and this is even recognized in the circles of power. former office counsel i don’t remember the name of the president of ukraine , mr.

aristovich , in my opinion, yes. flying over it, which means a projectile that is a russian missile. also, no one comes from those who want to observe. uh, international humanitarian law, the global crisis is also hitting africa not so long ago, russia put in a large batch of grain, but due to restrictions on moscow's logistics are still suffering on the continent see how food is distributed unfairly. it would be nice if our friends in the media followed. where is the grain going and the facts would be known. i understand that there is a blockade in the views, and we see distortions in the world news, and it is necessary that there be fair information and a report, because where does the grain go and whether the

countries of africa receive it. in addition, the west will not give up colonial habits, there are statements that trilateral russian-chinese maritime exercises which next month will take place in the waters of south africa are allegedly inappropriate in the context of the ukrainian conflict, and only washington considers it normal to flex its muscles around the world if they are now actively engaged in naval exercises. as part of his so -called pre-pacific strategies, around the people's republic of china in the south china sea, and in the taiwan strait , this does not cause any mixed reaction from anyone. at least, i have not heard that the media are somehow very interested. what is america doing er, 10,000 even more miles from its shores. and your teaching is a cat. they are transportation along with our husband african and

chinese partners. uh, submitting the necessary information, we want to resist attempts to impose double standards on us on the principle of what i do it's okay. but you can't do that because you are a developing african country. this is an abuse of international practice. this is part of a normal relationship. i 'm waiting for the countries. i think it needs to be explained. this is emphasized to the society of south africa by relations with russia, which from year to year only become stronger, is proud here, this monument to nelson mandela is the highest in the country. the leader of the struggle against apartheid. here, it does not call the people to action, but embraces its nation , relations between russia and south africa are largely successful due to the fact that during the years of the fight against rteid, moscow supported those who defend their freedom many countries, but candidates will be guided in the assessment in many respects by the interests of countries

in the south between africans, they were not satisfied with the dominance of the dollar before and now they are more and more positive about the idea of ​​trade in national currencies, and the prospects for further integration within the framework of brix and strengthening bilateral cooperation have a conversation with south african president seril rybofoza. the talks in south africa are the first stage of the tour of the region and one of its key tasks is to work out in more detail the agenda of the russia-africa summer summit, which will bring together countries that are ready to take matters into their own hands in football or , for that, lead khramtsov in one rusov. now an urgent message from roskosmos is the spacecraft skif d, which became the first satellite launched under the sphere program, has successfully completed the task of protecting the orbital-frequency resource, this was reported to tass in roskosmos. missiles and ammunition are hidden in the kiev regime on the territory of nuclear power plants information from the foreign intelligence service, as i said today, the head of the department sergey naryshkin ukrainian nuclear power plants have

become a repository of the most valuable consumables for the armed forces for mlrs and air defense more natalya solovyova is being used again terrorist tactics weapons and ammunition, kiev now stores. covering nuclear facilities western weapons are hidden in the territories of nuclear power plants, said the head of the foreign intelligence service sergei naryshkin. this is a method that international terrorists often use only as hostages of the kiev regime. now not individual civilians, but tens and even hundreds of thousands of residents of their own country and neighboring states . kyiv is easy to understand. russia will never strike such targets, but that doesn't make it any less scary. ukraine started a dangerous game by turning potentially dangerous objects. warehouses, ammunition, after all, the kiev regime is clearly not in a position to completely exclude another stray ukrainian air defense missile. if this is true, then

forgive me for not being parliamentary. and the expression, then it is absolutely in the uniform foulness. the countries are turning and the premises are simply the structures of these stations. and for ammunition, i don’t know, there are installations of a fire delivery system on the other side, as if there is an understanding that the russian federation to really shoot at an atomic object is not to be true. it's still located there. uh, so, uh, the mission of the macrote, ah, which, like, well, sees this. you already. excuse me, maybe zastil, but in the form of a cherry, yes, as it were, but, but in the end, uh, hmm, nothing to do with nissatom energy is not with nuclear safety. all this will be responsible for the consequences of all the countries that pump kiev with weapons, and especially in the case of supplies to ukraine of long-range missiles. bye. it is rather an element

of psychological warfare. so regarded, calls made in the united states by deputy head of the russian ministry of foreign affairs sergey ryabkov. with all these latest information from the svr, the consequences of such a decision could be its all unpredictable. russia's opponents continue to raise the stakes, but as stated on our part, again, not once the goals of a special military operation will be achieved in any case, and all this military equipment in an increasing flow coming from various sources will literally be ground only in the last week of december through raffaellovka railway station on rovno nuclear power plant was delivered by several railway wagons of dangerous cargo . under the cover of civilian objects, the most expensive and scarce types of weapons are missiles by american rso foreign air defense and

artillery ammunition of large caliber. moscow considers these data of russian foreign intelligence a reason to update contacts. no, the president said that we are determined and ready and interested in continuing contacts. the appearance of this information once again emphasizes the relevance of such content, because it is precisely this information that it is necessary to attract the attention of our interlocutors along the lines. whether the atomic energy agencies will be able to influence kiev is an open question, then you have to admit that ukraine uses nuclear facilities to cover the apu, and the rich have had big problems with this before. on the border of ukraine and romania, men were caught who were trying to escape from the country from mobilization, only nine people identified them using a thermal imager. and now, apparently, they will be sent to the front line for replenishment. lose everything. in ukraine , mobilization was literally turned into a hunt moreover, the military and the police do not

limit themselves in their methods. more evgenia shutov. on the streets of ukrainian cities, it doesn’t matter if it’s lviv or odessa, they grab people, push cars , this is how military registration and enlistment office employees work, following zelensky’s order to restore losses at the front and create combat reserves. you are in the same place and walks eight people and hand this summons. well, we are there for you. here are footage from odessa, first several employees try to convince a man of military age to go with them, then help arrives at minibus. his strength is taken away before this beating. the odessa regional recruitment center confirmed that the military commissars are also operating on these personnel this time. they took advantage of the forced mobilization of the ambulance, what do you want? good good zelensky warned about this at this meeting at

taras shevchenko university where he came with boris johnson in the audience there were many people in camouflage who raised their hands to ask their question everything will end ukraine should get into nato and in the eu, too, we have left a place for you. we are bald for you whole places. i think the best way to win on the edge is to win the next day. we'll be in nato goes the case for small british smits time believe that the former prime minister went to kiev for a reason, just wants to divert attention from the corruption investigation. right now, johnson is being accused of fraud, when receiving a loan of 800 million pounds, the times newspaper therefore put a comic book in the headline, always happy to help and expect on dima zachary, any minute now one minister without a portfolio in the investigation related to tax evasion with the help of such transparent hints from british journalists

simply send their corrupt officials to where they belong in the most corrupt country in europe fresh high-profile scandals in kiev anti-corruption court chooses a measure ex-head of the board of naftogaz andriy kobolev is suspected of embezzling more than $6 million, acting minister of infrastructure of ukraine vasily lozinsky was detained on suspicion of embezzlement budgetary funds, and in the ministry of defense, it was a very common case of fraudulent purchases of products for the military, as it turned out, they purchased twice as much as three times more expensive than they are sold even at retail in supermarkets, where, of course, there is also a significant markup. for example, eggs for the purchased 18 hryvnia apiece. the price in the stores of kiev, while about seven hryvnia, in this way could be stolen , according to modest estimates, several billion hryvnia. mr. defense reznikov therefore stated on occasion that all this was a technical error. no more in lviv there is a local scandal with the

head of the patrol police of the city who issued his girlfriend a pass for her mercedes to pass through the central city square, which is actually a pedestrian one. more and more new corruption schemes emerge in another scandal involving the head of zelensky's office, yermak, who is accused of embezzling a share of viktor medvedchuk's confiscated assets. deputy of the verkhovna rada geuliros sent a statement on this matter to the anti-corruption bureau on tv on the banking they think about the war, but in fact all this only in order to rob a poor country at the bank they continue to demand german tanks to continue the war with russia, the spiegel newspaper, as if mockingly they write that the bundeswehr can give kiev only 19 of the oldest leopards, which are used at training grounds as targets zelensky in an interview with a german channel aird, criticizes

scholz, while the ukrainian president looks rather strange during the recording of the conversation, therefore, the most basic question. you say not to discuss from where, for example, who can come the main question for you is probably what you need. ukraine ukraine needs protection the fact that zelensky probably uses certain drugs on a regular basis has been repeatedly said. moreover, this was claimed by completely different, unrelated sources, for example, former president poroshenko, who almost directly called zelensky a drug addict chewing drugs in the country, as you know . that zelensky the burners debated how long ukraine would be able to count on help from the united states given that control of the house of representatives has passed to the republicans, but ukraine is suspect. that it was after the arrival of the head of the cia in kiev

that new investigations into the purge in the ranks of leaking information began, for example, about the murder of banker denis kerreev, who was a member of the delegation at the talks with russia employees. the sbu abducted him, tortured him, and then shot him and threw his body on the street, all this was confirmed by the head of military intelligence, kirill budanov would you ukrainian banker dns kireev buff not russian agent guru budanov claims that he even knows the specific employees of the perpetrators of the murder of the hero of ukraine who, according to him, was involved in delaying the negotiation process. one way or another, everything points to a protracted conflict between the two ukrainian special services, the main intelligence directorate and the sbu, which did not stop, and with the resignation of the head of the security service ivan bakanov, a close friend of zelensky, and even the death of the ukrainian minister of internal affairs in a helicopter crash , some associate with the same civil strife conflict, suspecting that

one of the parties could have been deliberately liquidated by denis monastic in this way . russian us ambassador anatoly anatoly antonov on monday met with the new head of the american diplomatic mission in russia, lintracy the talks took place in washington on the eve of tracy's departure for moscow, the russian embassy office said the new us ambassador's candidacy was approved by the senate. before new year. lintracy was nominated by president joe biden, and she will be the first woman in history to hold the position. tracey speaks russian and has already worked in moscow on 14 and 2017 as deputy head of the diplomatic mission. the development of cooperation and counteraction to the dictatorship of the west, and all this in the context of economic sanctions, the speaker of the state duma vyacheslav volodin spent the whole day in iran today, met with the president of the islamic republic with the speaker of parliament and everywhere they talked about strengthening relations between the two countries, as well as about the

formation of a new, more just, as volodin noted the world order from tehran and the deportation of our special correspondent varvara nevsky an open and confidential dialogue is not just between strategic partners of old comrades and even at the head of the islamic assembly of the councils of iran, the russian speaker addresses nothing but, as my friend. and friendship - this is growing stronger every year moscow and tehran today, more than ever before, they are united by common challenges, common problems and, most importantly, common views. our country stands for a fair measure for a multipolar world. this is very important for other states as well. if only they think about their peoples, because only a sovereign state can uproot the liver, human development based on their culture, their history, their language, respects traditions, respecting their religion, so we oppose

hegemony and consider it right to unite. parliamentarian of all countries so that we do everything possible to protect the sovereignty of each side, so that every people can freely choose their own power to freely determine the future for themselves, and these issues are basic for us. this is a visit russian parliamentarians. tehran is full of first meetings with colleagues as never before. they were held immediately upon arrival, despite the late evening, and in the morning the duma delegation was expected in the iranian parliament of government. relations between moscow and tehran are developing dynamically in the widest range of areas, and trade economic

cooperation and joint work in the energy and transport sectors to regional security and countering terrorism instead of the announced 2 hours as part of the third meeting of the inter-parliamentary commission of russia iran the deputies of the two countries spent more than 3 hours behind closed doors, because seven hours are enough for conversations. in the near future, the preparation of a new basic interstate agreement and a number of specialized agreements providing for the development of cooperation between tehran and moscow, and primarily in the economic sector over the past 3 years, trade with iran doubled and in 2022 reached $4 and $6 billion, and the total share of the ruble and the real in mutual settlements has already exceeded 60%. one of the key areas of development our relations should be to improve the efficiency of cooperation in the financial banking sector. it is important to actively use settlements in national currencies, and in

this regard, the share of the ruble and real in mutual settlements has already exceeded 60% ; and, of course, to resolve issues related to mutually beneficial cooperation. the increase in trade between our countries is a big the russian side also sees potential in the implementation of joint infrastructure projects and expansions and interaction with iran through the eurasian union platform agreement in the free trade zone, which in the near future will be concluded by russia. iran is especially relevant in the sweater of the implementation of international transport corridor projects. north, south, the delegations discussed the commitment to the principles of sovereign equality and non-interference in internal. the affairs of other states unsurprisingly, close contacts between tehran and moscow, like a bone in the throat of washington and brussels, followed today's meetings in iran in the

west, especially carefully, in the meantime. the head of the meeting of the islamic council of iran noted that the past year 2022 has become the apogee of the development of bilateral relations between states. having expressed confidence, this cooperation will continue to gain momentum. today it seems to me that the most important threat is that pressure and those sanctions, i would call them oppressive, which are united against both the russian federation and the islamic republic of iran the united states of america, therefore, they also imposed sanctions against some other states, therefore it should be that we further develop our interaction. in particular, within the framework and in the context of the decrees of our leaders of the leaders of our two states, therefore, of course, we must take the opportunity to deepen our bilateral cooperation . raisi speaker of the parliament conveyed greetings and warm wishes to the head of the republic from vladimir putin and discussed the development of

a strategic partnership, noting the need and development of the parliamentary dimension in order to legally ensure the implementation of those decisions that have already been taken at the level of the heads of the two states, cooperation between moscow and tehran will continue, since there are a lot of vectors for its development. well, the next meeting. between the parliamentary commission of the two countries will take place already in moscow varvara several mikhail vikulyan and artyom davydov lead early. what do you remember about this day we’ll tell you the stories right now hello , on january 24, 1260, the mongols captured aleppo, the army was commanded by khan hulagu, the grandson of genghis khan, who decided to conquer the message of the middle east, before that, the horde crossed the amudar, yu and defeated the iranian ismails of the nizari. then they took baghdad, then the capital of obosinsky. the caliphate was the turn of the ayyubid sultanate in assad syria. aleppo lasted a week, but

the forces were not equal to the mongols. pranks, crusaders and the king of armenia hitum also performed. the first aleppo hit the man was beaten by the women children, sold into slavery burned the great mosque, but soon a hooligan. i had to urgently return to the horde after death. great khan. there began a struggle for power. abandoned troops. they smashed the egyptian babies, myths, the invincibility of the mongols was dispelled by him. i had to retreat beyond correct on january 24, 1919 , the soviet leadership adopted a secret directive on the attitude of the cossacks to the soviet government. this was the first experience of mass repressions against an entire ethnic and social group immediately after the revolution, the cossacks did not oppose the bolsheviks. tired of the battle of the first world war and at first did not support the white movement, but the bolsheviks began to take away. they have bread to burn the cossack villages, a split part fought along with the reds, but many

rebelled against the soviets and united the volunteer army directives announced against. cossacks of mass terror were shot without trial, took whole families hostage after the civil war, the repressions began to decline, but officially they show that it was revived in russia only at the end of the 20th century. on january 24, 1921 , lenin signed a decree of the soviet government to improve the conditions for scientific work of academician ivan pavlov and his staff. pavlov was an outstanding scientist and physiologist, the first in russia to become a nobel laureate. he did not accept the revolution and condemned the terror and arbitrariness of the bolsheviks, but flatly refused to immigrate. here are his words. i was and will remain a russian man, the son of the motherland, her life, first of all, i am interested in her interests. i live by its dignity, strengthen my dignity. and so pavlov was given an apartment for a nutrition laboratory, all his works were printed

a luxurious edition in the best printing house of the republic for a scientist lined up here in koltushs in the leningrad region. today it is the pavlov institute of physiology. he was the first. who proved that conditioned reflexes are developed in the cerebral cortex with the result of research. pavlova was the doctrine of higher nervous activity. it is considered one of the greatest scientific achievements of the entire twentieth century. on january 24, 1925, the united states made the first filming of a total solar eclipse from an aircraft. for this, we chose not airplane. and the airship was more stable and could take more people besides the crew members on board. there were seven astronomers with them. they took telescopes, photo spectrographs and movie cameras with telescopic lenses in the early morning. the airship took off from the wakerstie military base and loitered over new york longaland and southern connecticut

to capture, as the american newspapers wrote, the phenomenon of unearthly beauty. and even the jaws of darkness eating manhattan eclipse lasted a little over two minutes and then moved towards the great lakes and the atlantic ocean on january 24, 1961. the us narrowly escaped the nuclear catastrophe it suffered. varyu, a b-52 bomber with two hydrogen bombs, each power is 260 times more than the bomb dropped on hiroshima happened. it was in the area of ​​​​the city of goldsbor in the state of north carolina during refueling that the crew reported a fuel leak, they were ordered not to land until they ran out of fuel, and then go for an emergency landing, but the car lost control and began to fall apart in the air five pilots. three survived and died. one bomb, parachuted down undamaged. but the second fell into the swamp, splitting into pieces out of four fuses, only one worked, and only this saved millions of people from a

nuclear holocaust in the affected area. it would turn out the whole east coast and cities like baltimore and philadelphia came out, that's what this day in history was like.

i noticed
