then i think that new prospects for the development of church-state relations in the field of education of the educational part have not been established due to the introduction by the ministry of education in all russian schools from this year of class hours to talk about important things. i also had the opportunity to take part in this project and share with the children my thoughts about the feast of the nativity of christ in a number of regions . as part of this cycle of extracurricular activities, interaction with the church is already being carried out to participate in the classes, parish clergy are invited. teachers, however. experience of such work. it is not yet very clearly presented, including on such a general state platform, and therefore i consider it very important to discuss these problems. here, at our current christmas readings, of course, to a large extent

, the achievement of the tasks that are set in the course of teaching the subject depends on the teacher, if the teacher himself lives by the values ​​of that tradition, the foundation, culture, which he teaches in particular orthodox culture, if he is enthusiastic and interestingly conducts classes if he does not moralize, but invites you to join the spiritual wealth or terrible culture, that is, the hope that the soul of a child. this will leave a deep good trace capable of determining his key actions in life. it is important to note that the cause of the orthodox enlightenment, including in the context of teacher training, is trying to keep up with modern technological advances, it is gratifying that today there is an active development of new niches in the information space. i would like minutes here, created with the participation of the synodal affairs of religious education to etiotization of the educational platform clover. the merits of the project have already been appreciated by

many orthodox teachers from different regions. the teaching of general education disciplines in combination with orthodoxy educate and educate is conducted in our country only in non-state general education schools with a religious orthodox component, they are usually called orthodox schools of such schools throughout russia, about 200. that is, on 85 subjects this means that she is one subject eight point three tenths to the school. absolutely not enough. and if there is an opportunity, we should use the opportunity to open new orthodox schools, because today the percentage of coverage of children and youth by our pedagogical efforts is not enough. and if it were sufficient, then perhaps a lot would have already changed, including in the

worldview of our youth.

recently, laws have been passed in russia prohibiting propaganda in the public space of non-traditional sexual relations and pedophilia. what a huge criticism. met this position of russia, what is accepted in russia in no way and does not discriminate anyone, does not restrict some kind of freedom, but limits our children and youth from the influence of non-traditional sexual ideologies and practices, of course, not to the full extent, but we had the right to do as we did and did and what in response. the accusation in russia of violating the human rights of freedom, and so on. this very conversation with our western partners, as they say now, testifies to what is happening in the world in terms of a clash of different values different general worldviews. and

in a sense, russia is getting bigger and bigger. becomes similar to the island of freedom because we defend those values ​​that ensure human freedom. and if we encounter difficulties with criticism with misunderstanding, then this should not indicate our weakness and not our mistakes, but simply the scale of the problem that now exists in the human community. of course, prohibitions are not sufficient. and even if they are somehow successfully carried out

in society, but most importantly, it is very important, in addition to any kind of restrictions, to promote ideas related to family relations, to emphasize the value of family relations, the value of a traditional family. you need to talk about the traditional family in such a way that young people see it, the true beauty, the joy of which gives loyalty to serving the family, and the children have the right to thank in our tv channels the union has saved my joy in recent years. they have done a lot to convey to the audience an important message from the value of the traditional family , attracting creative forces and new programs are being released now, new formats are being used that deserve all kinds of support and undoubtedly have a future. serious steps in the field of preserving

family values ​​were the approval by the president of the foundations of the state policy to preserve the strengthening of traditional russian spiritual and moral values, among other things. this document calls for russia to play a leading role in protecting traditional values, not only in the implementation of domestic policy, but also on international level, the document emphasizes the importance orthodoxy of other traditional religions of our country in the preservation and protection of these values ​​along with this, the necessary steps are taken to strengthen the legal protection of the family, the fundamental rights of parents in the field of health education in other areas. it has long been ripe for the need to revise approaches to the protection of childhood in the direction of excluding the unjustified removal of children from parents, the reflection in the law of the principle of the constitutional presumption of good faith of the actions of parents in relation to children. much work to you in this regard has been carried out in

both houses of the federal assembly, where legislators, with the participation of public organizations of experts, prepared the necessary amendments to the family code and other laws aimed at protecting the family on december 19, 22, president of the russian federation vladimir vladimirovich putin approved these amendments. and that this is really very important and in a sense, a historical event and i sincerely thank everyone involved in this important achievement, i think that it is a big step towards the demographic well-being of our country. this event itself is a lot, a big step, of course, towards achieving greater well-being, and a lot is being said today about the need to provide legislation with real responsibility for violating the rights of the family and parents, this request of society also deserves the most serious attention, legislators the biggest challenge of our time

is the depreciation of human life great. dara, god's tragic events associated with hostilities. reminds us every time. and we mourn the fragility of life about all the dead, but no less, but no less sorrow is worthy of another tradition and another. sorry tragedy hundreds of thousands of children die every year in our country as a result of abortions. i have been talking about this and i am talking about it and i will continue to talk about it as long as this topic poses a huge danger to life for the life of the next generations in our country. the life of every child from the moment of conception is precious, it deserves care and protection. the most important step towards such protection would be to stop funding abortions at the expense of budget funds and the system of compulsory health insurance, a situation

in which the constitution says that children are the most important priority of state policy and at the same time the state pays for the destruction of children's lives and before birth is unnaturally against. naturally, one cannot say one thing, but support a different course of action. this policy needs to be changed claim that paying for abortion will increase the number of illegal abortions. this is a very misleading statement. why because all illegal abortions, with some maybe insignificant exception, all of them are paid, you can’t say. we are paying a fee to increase the number of illegal abortions. and there, without money, what do they do, this is for the love of art. yes , god forbid this is also a criminal shadow part of ours, if you want to save money.

the issue of theological understanding of the problems of yaitsk is becoming increasingly relevant. orthodox doctors, scientists, employees of the synodal commission on biotech, are called upon to give theologically sound answers to questions surrogacy interchangeable artificial intelligence. synodal commissions on biology collaboration all at the far departments for relations between the church, society and the media need to start work on creating a guide for the parish clergy in the form of a printed electronic collection of church-practical documents on this issue. i say this on the basis of experience, because visiting parishes often, uh, i come across the fact that the clergy are worried. this topic is not sufficiently owned by the presence of those materials which already exist, which are published by our church, which reflect the official point of view. i'm not going to

evaluate. why is there such a problem in parishes, but it does exist, and therefore everything must be done to ensure that the position of the church in our documents concerning this issue is broad. it is known not only to the parish clergy, but to all our believing people and the whole society. many of today's social challenges require an adequate and modern timely response from the church, believers are called to be an example of love, mercy for all those who suffer, especially now, when the world is moving, really hard times, the main choice of the spiritual choice of every person who calls himself an orthodox christian should be adherence to the gospel teachings and the words of the lord himself, and the savior lived the desire to continually succeed in knowledge the church of our lord jesus christ, as before, extends a helping hand to all those who need support from the

spring of 2022 the moscow patriarchate has become one of the largest organizers of assistance to refugees and civilians affected by hostilities. the ministry of orthodox volunteers in hospitals, doctors, church hospitals, st. alexei sisters of mercy, is actively developing, not only in moscow, but also in the zone of armed conflict, the direction of spiritual social psychological support for the victim is in great demand today. in the countries of canonical responsibility of the moscow patriarchate, the collection of humanitarian financial assistance continues and, using by chance, i would like to sincerely thank everyone for the sacrificial labors and we urge you not to weaken in them. i also ask you to strengthen our joint prayers in the world. especially, the significant activity of the military clergy, who perform their service in the most difficult conditions, but do not leave the pastor without the word of

god of the church sacraments. priests go where they most need to sacrifice their lives. although many of them have families and children, these are real heroes. whose ministry is focused on the salvation of every soul in the realities of our time pastoral feeding of military personnel and members their families should become an obligatory direction of eparchial activity, but at the same time it must be understood that preaching to people whose lives are constantly in danger cannot be formal or too complex theologically, one must be accessible and convincing, and for this shift, which turn the word to servicemen to servicemen in these very difficult conditions must, firstly. themselves have the experience of staying in these conditions. when some visiting clergyman turns to the military and says, maybe kind and correct words, but between this

clergyman and military personnel risking their lives. it is impossible to overcome a very large space, which is simply a bed of strength by them with words. that is why the words of the priests who are there on the front line, who risk their lives, especially at the death of our clergy, who laid down their lives for others. is the strongest and most important argument in our dialogue, including with those who are on the battlefield? a serious challenge to the moral health of society is the spread pseudo-values ​​that contradict the spiritual tradition of our people have a destructive effect on the minds and hearts of people, especially on the younger generation. what is worth at least terrible images of

the children's entertainment industry, which destroy the aesthetic feeling of the child's soul, artificial images of electronic games also reformat the minds of children and make them unreceptive to traditional culture today, it is especially necessary to consolidate healthy social forces in order to create a cultural information space as opposed to this pseudoculture. today she is all up to culture, and tomorrow she will become the culture of the majority of young people, and it is very dangerous today , for example, a good children's movie is so in demand, which can do a lot to educate so much interest. from the plots of our history in the lives of flowers, all this can and should be used and updated through cinematography. i would be glad if, in the interaction of the department for religious education and categorization of the patriarchal council for culture and the ministry of culture , programs were developed that promote

the return of good children's cinema. very asked to bring. it's like a protocol. this is a very important area of ​​our work and i believe that the church today can do a lot to promote this program. in conclusion, i would like to wish all the participants of the 31st international christmas educational readings. realize your father's special responsibility for the spiritual upbringing of orthodox children of youth. who is the judge of the fateful time that the lord has called all of us to live and work in a simple time, but we do not choose times. it is the lord of us places in that part of history in which we should live to work to glorify the lord, and to do those good deeds that are able to open the hearts and minds of people of perception of the word of divine truth

and thank everyone for their attention. this was a broadcast from the state kremlin palace, where the international christmas readings opened. in 2022, lukoil did not supply its products to ukraine from a plant in burgas in bulgaria or through any other channels, this is stated in the official statement of the company, which it made in in connection with a new wave of speculative publications in the media, it states that this is deliberately, false, unsubstantiated and provocative information, which has already been repeatedly refuted, its appearance in the company is associated with unscrupulous competition in the domestic energy market , does not consider that such incorrect behavior of its individual participants, seriously interferes with the normal work of russia's energy sector of lukoil itself in the conditions of an acute geopolitical situation

, the company reserves its right to go to court to protect its business reputation. well let's get back to the topic of german deliveries. from tanks to the kiev regime, our european correspondent regina sevastyanova will tell more about the discussion that is now unfolding in berlin. she welcomes regina in direct contact with the studio. and what statements were made? what is the position of chancellor, germany olaf schulz? although it seems that the statement has already been made. hello, really after long hesitation of the federal office of germany, during the debates, the bundestag announced that a decision had been made on the supply of leopard 2a to ukraine. according to him, it was decided the decision to form two battalions of tanks for the speedy transfer to kiev in addition, as the media had already reported the day before, other countries also received the right to transfer these german tanks to ukraine to the media, making the first comments on these statements. they say that this is almost a personal victory for the politician olaf

scholz, because despite the criticism that has fallen on him about his silence. he was able to win the support of the western allies for this step. first of all, of course, the united states and olaf scholz himself dealt with these statements in the bundestag. he repeatedly stressed that the transfer of his combat vehicles would be carried out in close coordination by the allies. this is the result of tense negotiations with our allies and partners , and i want to say rightly that we did not allow this issue to take its course. and that we rely on close cooperation on such an issue and will continue to do so. our goal is to quickly prepare two tank battalions together with our allies. many countries will be happy to implement deliveries, and we will coordinate it germany will supply tanks leopard 2 a6 from the stocks of the bundeswehr. if other countries do this, we will also train ukrainian

crews, as well as provide logistics and equipment. not only the opposition, but also the partners ulav and scholz in the government coalition repeatedly, both during the debates and the debates preceding them, repeatedly questioned whether the consequences of such a step for germany itself and for the collective west would be too serious. in the very first question of today's debate in the bundestag, for example, which came from the cdu, just sounded a few months ago berlin considered the transfer of tanks as a potential provocation, has reality really changed so much since then that the federal concert of germany retorted according to him, the word provocation, in principle, can be used only to the actions of russia he said uh, nevertheless. he repeatedly stressed that he would act in germany, but only together with partners. and that the west is not a country of conflict that is why the question of establishing a flight zone over ukraine without a flight zone, as well as sending nato troops to the

territory of ukraine, is not relevant. not now not in the future he said he pointed out. the fact that ukraine can count on the help of germany in the future, while he called on its own citizens to trust the government in this matter. there are many citizens in our country who are worried about this decision. i want to tell them. trust me, trust the government, the way we operate in the international arena. together we will continue to guarantee such support, but without increasing the risks for our country in the wrong direction. the decision to transfer to ukraine the latest model of leopards, they are older, still in the warehouses of the bundeswehr, scholz explained the interests of the effectiveness of weapons, he did not answer questions about the possibility and need to increase defense spending and in particular the production of new weapons. noting that first you need to correct the mistakes of the past, clearly pointing to a series of resignations from

the post of minister of defense of germany during the debate and alternative and alternative parties for germany, the opposition party accused olaf scholz that, as its representative put it, he trampled on the principles of germany's foreign policy, which in turn is a free democratic party. and this decision of the government was welcomed and, uh, the representative of this party asked a question. who will join the coalition together with germany on the transfer of tanks to ukraine, the federal ends answered this sufficiently by noting only that germany is not alone in this matter alexander yes regin thank you very much regina sevastyanova russian troops continue deliveries of german leopards to ukraine, the offensive in the donetsk direction was reported by the ministry of defense, adding that the enemy was hit by fire in the areas of four settlements of the dpr in other directions , positional battles are underway details about the course of the special operation, we learn from denis

alekseev denis welcome how the situation is now. yes, welcome. so the battle for artyomovsk continues. and not in the suburbs, but in the quarters on the outskirts of the city, where until recently the ukrainian troops. they surrendered their positions, retreated to the cities to the west, they managed to take control of the areas from which the asu struck, including thanks to the liberation, the heads of the dpr said in solidarity in rio that they did not push the russian forces continue to shell and the fortified areas in marinka are also pushing out the militants there. and kiev, feeling a failure in this direction, is pulling reserves there. after the capture of marinka , the path to kurakhovo, krasnogorovka will be opened, there are important nodes. apu and uglidar in the donetsk direction on the eve of the unit of the southern group of forces inflicted a fire defeat two combat pickup trucks and a howitzamstan were destroyed in several settlements at once in several settlements

. coverage in the limansky direction by strikes of army aviation by artillery fire, groupings of troops the center was defeated by a cluster of manpower of equipment of the ninety- fifth distance of the assault brigade of the armed forces of ukraine and the 125th brigade of territorial defense in areas of settlements with telmahovka lugansk of the people's republic of serebryanka and empols, when more than 20 ukrainian military personnel were destroyed in this direction in a day in this direction, two armored combat vehicles, as well as four self-propelled howitzers , one german-made, one polish -made, as well as with and a carnation in the kherson direction in the area of ​​​​populated point of nepryany, kherson region, by artillery fire, an attempt by the enemy to cross for the landing of sabotage reconnaissance groups on the left bank of the dnieper was crossed ukrainian formations are concentrating forces in

the area of ​​​​the city of zaporizhia, preparing for counteroffensives. this is not less than 40,000, the military said this in an interview with our tv channel, the acting head of the zaporozhye region , evgeny balitsky. now, of course, it's a bit of an unsettling time, because we know about the accumulation of, uh, ukrainian forces. uh, in the zaporozhye region and they are preparing for a counteroffensive. we see this situation, we understand it, and accordingly, we are preparing for the meeting, and the uninvited guests. we occupy a gray area to a greater extent and, like, those areas that we are needed for the strategic benefit of gray, the zone is our activity. today we are strong enough to move forward and move with good forces, but i say it again, knowing that a fairly large group is standing near zaporozhye. e, according to various estimates , this is up to 40,000. uh, the heads of the militants. e. accordingly, we will not rush to uh the

military know what to do. uh, meet the enemy. better on the defensive, if it comes to that , and on his shoulders then go on. artillery of the armed forces began to work more often in the mode hysterical shooting, that is, they hit backhand not aiming in revenge, and including in the residential areas of donbass, russian air defense is at the ready to intercept shells from rocket systems hymars, alder, grad. here are the shots of the complexes. armor calculations are also intercepted in the air by drones. even the smallest reconnaissance and flying targets are several times larger than attack aircraft, helicopters, the ukrainian mi-8 was shot down the day before. we carry out tasks to cover military facilities, even civilian infrastructure features of this machine is to apply it 360 degrees to many types of air targets. these are rszo helicopters. also, drones can be

operated, as well as the lowered weapons of a twin machine gun, and from missiles. here is an example of a weapon of russian contour battery warfare, a multiple launch rocket system, a tornado, 12 300-caliber shells, you can strike from these from a distance of more than 100 km and you can be sure that the entire package will reach the addressee in 40 seconds. and these calculations work closer to the targets . d-30 towed howitzers destroy 10 or more per day goals, among which are the personnel fortification and equipment of the enemy. there are also hyacinths from a larger caliber of 152 mm. soldiers call it a sniper rifle on wheels, and for good reason. basically a counter-battery fight, but the task is different, there are accumulations of enemy equipment and you also have to work on them, because hyacinths are like

pickup trucks driving up in the order of three hits. but they hit almost point-blank too, leaving no chance for opponents, the modernized t-90m breakthrough tanks entered service in the special operation zone on the footage, the tank moves in the area of ​​​​cleansing from militants in ukrainian positions a few meters, but the crew. it does not matter, yes, and modern technology to help. here's a new sight. which differ in that you can see the enemy at night and during the day. it is even thermally visible mouse for 2 km from the innovations of shooting hidden positions, that is, the computer enters the data of the coordinates, with the help of which it itself works out, the angle and range of fire. russian military personnel

continue to bring the achievement of the goal of the special operation closer, being forced out of the formation with loss of donbas territory. in aviation, the apu already has more than 200 helicopters and 300 aircraft, almost 400 aircraft in artillery, in artillery there are almost 1,000 rocket systems, and the air defense of ukraine has not read more than 400 complexes, and it is likely that soviet-era air defense reserves. kyiv has already come to an end. in russia today they celebrate student's day in 1755, on this day, empress elizaveta petrovna signed the decree on the creation of moscow university, and at the end
