somehow invest in something to make it easier for you, uh, fighting everyday life worked. well, songs, of course i think it helps. at least, i have been told many times that it is still important. to come and sing, that's why i've become a second home here, although he himself left kiev in the thirteenth year, when he realized that the worst begins with his homeland. well, actually. uh, i realized that this is the plague that is sweeping over ukraine, and here, ah, he moved to russia and helps. now humanitarian aid is being brought to the fighters, giving concerts, and to support the fighters musically and morally this is probably a very important principle. here we see today a well-known executive zhanga came here. it is very important, it

strengthens the spirit. we understand that you have come here for a very long time for a reason. thank you for such concerts also the russian orthodox church is actively involved so cyprian is here today from the russian orthodox church. e , hero of the soviet union, who passed through afghanistan, and now, today he gave instructions to the guys here, which, of course, are very important in this difficult time, the split is the gravest sin. and here are those who have done it now, like a million. they are such church people , absolutely ministers. i sympathize with him because then they will suffer if their place of hell does not repent. they are now in trouble and our guys are helping them get out of this trouble. they just don't understand it yet. today , a businessman from russia also came here and brought their own products, all

bags of sleeping bags and so on among. the french performer, who has been living for many years, was also a guest today. here, in donbass in the thirteenth year. he came on tour and decided to stay, because he realized that here he needed to fight volunteers more. but now he is engaged in humanitarian aid. they understand that you, uh, also support them and this is psychological support. you know that when there are good people behind you, then victory is inevitable in the production of metal, processing. we do everything with you brought as samples. guys. made prerogatives. let's carry it somehow. russians participate in russia, it is probably difficult to find a person who does not thinks about the front does not help the front. and here is the situation here in the donetsk people 's republic, we continue to monitor the situation all the latest news on our air andrey potapov anton khobotov together donetsk people's republic well, now

the latest data from the ministry of defense on the progress of a special military operation. in the donetsk direction, as a result of successful offensive actions, volunteers of the assault detachments with fire support from the operational-tactical and army aviation of the missile forces and artillery of the southern group troops liberated the settlement of blagodatnoye of the donetsk people's republic in a day in this direction, up to 50 ukrainian servicemen were destroyed self-propelled artillery installation made in france caesar m77 artillery system made in the usa as well as howitzers of the foot of my wife in the nevsky direction, a unit of the group of troops. east inflicted a fire defeat by a unit of the seventy-second mechanized brigade of the armed forces of ukraine in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe settlement of coal, as well as the 110th territorial defense brigade. in in the area of ​​​​the settlement of polypolis of the donetsk people's republic, the losses of the armed forces of ukraine in this direction per day amounted to more than 40 military personnel, one tank,

two armored combat vehicles and two pickup trucks. in addition, two depots with artillery ammunition of the armed forces of ukraine were destroyed in the areas of settlements, coal donation ekaterinovka to the donetsk people's republic. we have not received any documents in this regard. well, now let's find out in a direct connection with us the head of the union of journalists of russia vladimir solovyov vladimir we welcome you. dmitry good afternoon. and vladimir and here, frankly, for uh, here is an incomplete year that has passed since the beginning of the special military operation in general to talk about international cooperation, and between journalists from different countries. i mean, between uh, journalistic organizations, there is such a conversation in general, or, well, really. we are between

some countries it goes, but between those countries that, for example, are members of the north atlantic alliance , of course, it is not worth talking about this here. cooperation, of course, goes on and on with a huge number of countries: from china, we are with latin america and with africa and with the arab east, with some countries in europe. we have just returned from the congress of montenegrin journalists. they gave us the award. uh, in memory of daria dugina and everyone there is talking, by the way, everyone is saying that they are praying for the victory of russia. and here are some representatives of the international federation of journalists. northern the so-called union of northern trade unions is a small part of the members of the international federation; they have now, in fact, announced an ultimatum to the leadership of the international federation and made a number of claims. in particular, claims of corruption. they accuse them of the thirty-first congresses. mfzh, was held in a totalitarian

amnes. well, among the many claims. this is something that has not been excluded in its journalists in russia and with the international federation for the fact that we have created four new branches in four new russian territories, by the way by statute. mfj. we cannot be excluded in this way. and so. e, now, as i said, a very small part of the members of the international federation, and they are part of 186,186 national journalistic unions, more than 600,000 journalists from all over the world are part of this largest international organization. we are vkontakte we are constantly with the management. mfj. no official statements. we didn't receive. and uh, as soon as that became known to the deputy secretary general. mfc englishman, jeremydir, categorically rejected, all claims e northern trade unions. and vladimir, i

correctly understand that we are talking about, e, the initiative. ah, a group of outcasts. i'm not in the sense that how do you scoff or call names there? yes, marginals, as you know. it's just a small group. here, as they would say , this northern block. yes, these are several trade unions of journalists from the countries of northern europe and finland norway denmark uh, joined them. uh, of course, ukrainians and scandinavians, but there are really few of them. although their joint contribution. uh, the annual in the piggy bank of the international federation, it exceeds that fee that we pay every year. we are so that the leadership of the leadership of the international federation of journalists. now, of course, it will be a very difficult choice. but i hope they make the right choice, because according to the charter it is still impossible to expel russia's own journalists. and here, probably, as it should be in the united nations.

how should there be some kind of consensus, on any issue, or is it possible to introduce the same veto there and stop some process that, well, can damage the international organization. yes, this process is very fast and even a process. with exits or expulsions or freezing of membership, there is such an international federation, but it does not happen in one day with a snap of the fingers. this is considered at a meeting of the leadership of the international federation, it is discussed for a long time , all claims are heard, then some opinion is adopted there in six months, that is , this cannot happen right away and this is the statement of this ultimatum of the northerners. uh, he can, by the way, uh, be viewed very negatively by everyone the rest, uh, heads of representatives from different countries of the international federation of journalists. well actually here, maybe really. this is their initiative will have some kind of reverse effect. in the

sense that the organization will begin to consider, for example, the materials that are being prepared. e journalists of the same northern group. yes , here, too, a lot of questions arise about and not the bias of objectivity, but unipolarity. well, and so on and so forth. vladimir and i thank you for being with we live, i remind you , the head of the union of journalists of russia , vladimir solovyov, was in direct contact with us. the ukrainian leadership was not going to recognize the rights of the russian population. in the east of the country, former president of ukraine petro poroshenko stated this in a documentary film shown by the british television channel bbc poroshenko indicated that kiev needed an agreement in minsk only in order to strengthen the army and turn europe against moscow somewhere we have already heard this recently . this is how the kremlin commented on these statements we saw

preparation of ukraine to try to solve the problems of donbass by force, which would naturally destroy the existence of the minsk agreements at that time, which were already saving money poroshenko actually repeated what he had already said, we know that both poroshenko and uh , john merkel confirmed that for them, which means for ukraine, for france or germany, the minsk agreements were nothing more than cheese fat, with which they camouflaged their intentions. uh, precisely to prepare ukraine in order to solve problems by force. it's extra once again emphasizes that putin did everything absolutely right by deciding to start a special war operation in order to save the people who live. russia belarus will create combat training centers for the joint training of military personnel to sign such an agreement with minsk

proposed in the government. and today, this initiative was approved by the president , vladimir putin issued an order instructing the ministry of defense and foreign affairs to prepare documents to conduct negotiations with the belarusian side in a draft agreement it is noted that the centers are designed to increase the level of coherence in the combat skills of the military of russia and belarus. it is planned that they will exchange experience in the use of weapons and special equipment, among the tasks of unifying the combat training of the armed forces of the two countries. lithuanian president gitanas called on the western countries to supply the kiev regime with longer-range fighters and missiles , that is, to step over those same red lines. natsusa this red line, even if it really exists a couple to cross long-range missile fighters is natural military assistance and now it is extremely important that we do not hesitate and do not be late here it is worth recalling that the day before

the president of france did not rule out the supply of fighters to ukraine true. macron, noted the defense capability of france itself should not suffer from this , the newspaper writes that paris is allegedly already considering kiev's request for the training of ukrainian pilots. but joe biden said at the same time that washington is not going to send its planes to ukraine, though. is it worth it to turn attention to this statement? after all, the us president did not say the same about american tanks, the ministers of nato countries intend to discuss the issue of transferring fighters to kiev in february. ukraine claims it needs at least 180 combat aircraft. well , the former minister from the british government believes that it is time for western countries to send nato soldiers to ukraine and start a full-fledged ground operation. i think we need to think about something like a ground operation now. yes, of course, if you

put nato forces there, it will be already nato's confrontation with russia is true to a direct question. should nato send its troops immediately, the official, although a former one, said that there was no need to rush here , but first you should create some kind of international coalition, which would develop a strategy to help kiev . it was told in the fsb of russia for 2 months they discovered almost a hundred illegal gunsmiths in 38 regions. they restored military weapons. including machine guns, pistols, rifles, grenade launchers and flamethrowers , the operation to detain the seizure of weapons was carried out by a joint fsb of the ministry of internal affairs and the national guard. but the president held a working meeting with the prosecutor general. igor krasnov discussed the priority areas of work of the oversight agency

and talked about the provision of mobilized military personnel. at present, we continue to deal with issues of security, mobilized military personnel with bulletproof vests and other uniforms. most of the problems have already been resolved now. here we control the supplies uh, mobilized over 9,000 citizens who were illegally mobilized, including, uh, those who, due to their health, should not have been mobilized in any way, were returned home to military personnel in winter uniforms, as well as the formation of appropriate warehouses, their safety through the efforts of supervision. vladimir vladimirovich mobilization. it has not been carried out for a long time, revealed a lot of significant problems, which became a lesson for many , forced to reconsider approaches to the organization of military registration, the formation of appropriate databases. military personnel. unfortunately, there were problems related to the payment

of the allowance to the military personnel , and at present all the funds have already been brought and the problems that arise. they certainly arise. prosecutors, among other things, resolve as quickly as possible, but we also continue to work to return state control over strategic enterprises that are important for the security and defense of our country and control over which third parties have seized, including in favor of foreign structures. . we lost control illegally by the state. this also applies to newly acquired territories. you yourself drew attention to the need to strengthen supervision over what is happening in the defenses of the industrial complex, and here are the questions. e financing issues of compliance with discipline issues related to ensuring the defense capability of the state. and you mentioned rights. ah, mobiliso. bathroom citizens i ask you to continue monitoring

this direction. e for this area of ​​activity. well, even today, vladimir putin approved a list of instructions following the results of of the sixth path to the world of artificial intelligence conference, which was held at the end of november, they were published on the kremlin website uh, the president in particular instructed to form anonymized patient databases for the development of artificial intelligence technologies in healthcare, and also to use the results of studies conducted using such technologies, at the same time the state duma was recommended to expedite consideration of the bill on the procedure for depersonalization of personal data, and until october 15, the head of state. waiting for an offer on access to such data from domestic software developers, by july 1, the government must approve the federal project for the development of domestic robotics by the fall to work out the issue of expanding the list of territories for experiments with the use of drones. well

, and another instruction from the president before june 1 to make changes to the university program to improve the training of specialists in the field of artificial intelligence. well, by october. establish an annual award for young scientists and engineers for science. chnye and e, design breakthrough hmm solutions in this area volgograd these days is regaining its former name, stalingrad on the eve of the eightieth anniversary of the victory in the battle of stalingrad a memorable date is celebrated on february 2, signs with the new name have already been installed at the entrance to the city. in february, russian historical parks will host exhibitions dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the victory in the battle of stalingrad where you can watch documentaries from the international film festival classes for young people

, a multimedia exposition reflecting the key moments of the turning point battle of the great patriotic war has already opened in the capital. these photographs seem to be of particular value, because they are not fake, the joy on them is genuine courage, they are genuine faith in our victory, and we see these people who this is victory. they brought us an important part of the cycle and will become a podcast of fourteen episodes, and the first of which started on the site on the news already, but at the end of january. in them leading russian scholars and historians will talk about the details and little-known pages about the great patriotic war. the heroic pages of the history of the great patriotic war will be remembered and the residents of luhansk will also bring documentary photographs there. history

repeats itself, we understand the word liberation, how expensive it is and what it costs, we have now realized that this is a special military operation. that did not give the opportunity to cut off here, uh, nazism, which could put our luhansk heroic land. they set a goal. here history to rewrite the russian language will destroy orthodoxy will destroy this here these photographic materials give us look remember. today was the ceremony of awarding the laureates of the prime minister of the foreign intelligence service named after yevgeny primakov in the field of art literature for 22 years, among them are well-known artists who dedicated their works about the work of domestic intelligence officers

of the loktegovanov children's dance song ensemble sculptor vladimir ivanov we already celebrated the centuries of the creation of the department in a special way to channel one illegal intelligence and last year the competition received a lot of wonderful talented and bright works. and so the leadership of the service decided to award five awards. i would like, of course, to say kind warm words to the heads of the authors' teams of all creative e, teams of winners in this competition for bright talented works, and the activities of the russian foreign intelligence service by experts

from the international monetary fund have improved the forecast for the state of the russian economy for this year. growth 0.3%, instead of falling, these the calculations turned out to be even more optimistic than earlier estimates of the russian authorities, fresh. the imf report was studied by our economic observer dmitry moroka. and dima what factors did the authors of this study take into account? hello, the report specifically states that the ceiling on oil prices will not have a significant impact on russian export earnings and supply volumes to be maintained. the improvement in economic forecasts suggests that russia is successfully overcoming sanctions , as the ministry of economic development commented a new imf report that predicts the growth of russian gdp during the year, experts from the international monetary fund significantly increased their expectations, if earlier they predicted a reduction of more than two percent, now we are talking about positive dynamics plus 0.3, and the twenty

-fourth year the russian economy can grow by two as much as 1/10% is believed. the russian economy, ah, was able to adapt and resist the western station in the second place of the actions of the economic authorities of the economic bloc, but ended up in their time, but efficient enough and lo, uh. as a matter of fact, these two uh components made it possible. uh, and according to the results of the twenty-second year and now as an impact on the forecast for 123 year, e conclude that the russian economy is more stable lower than expected. it is worth noting that the new imf forecast turned out to be even more optimistic than the official estimates of russian departments; they are talking about growth. this year , so far, there is no growth. so, for example, the ministry of economic development expects a decline in gdp by

the 80s, and the central bank by 1.4%, rating forecasts agencies and individual analysts also differ, but boil down to the fact that this year there will be a slight reduction in gdp, and next year recovery will begin based on the adaptation of the economy to the new conditions of supply chains, the opening of new export opportunities and other positive factors. among the positive factors, i would probably include a stable financial system, since we see that bank lending is more or less recovering. we see that in general, uh banks feel not bad. and that means that hmm most likely interest rates in the economy as a whole as inflation will be at uh, much lower levels than what we saw say early in the middle of last year. that is. uh, here, probably , the forecast for inflation is somewhere around 5-6 percent. and as a matter of fact, interest rates on loans will be , so to speak, understandably higher. but uh, hardly for

the enterprise. they will be noticeably higher than what we see now. as for estimates of the state of the global economy as a whole, the imf improved its growth forecast from 2.7%, but two and 924 is expected to accelerate to more than three percent. global inflation, according to the fund, will fall to 6.6 this year. although this is still twice as high as it was before the pandemic. we still expect a challenging year with 2.9% growth in 2023 and 3.1% growth in 2024, which is still relatively low growth for the global economy compared to the start of the 2000s. we are still far from defeating inflation. it could turn out to be much more sustainable the situation in the world is fueling a surge in valuable energy there are a large number of factors that could worsen the 2023 outlook that

could potentially make a recession more likely and require central bank tightening. although the forecast for the global economy has been slightly improved, the situation remains unstable. e. there are many risks. in the energy sector of the european union, it will be difficult to replenish stocks of raw materials next winter without supplies from russia, especially in conditions of cold weather and high demand from china, the report says. at the same time, the imf predicts a fairly significant decline in oil prices throughout the year. according to the fund's estimates, the average cost of a barrel in 2023 will be about $81 with these data. however, not all experts agree. china is covered, yes, many covid restrictions will be lifted on november 29. uh, it wasn't obvious. yes, in china there were still a large number of covid restrictions. the imf estimate for november 29 it runs counter to the assessment of the majority. e analysts at the moment,

therefore, say that there you predict a decrease in the average price, they all relative to current values. and that would be wrong. yes, most likely, they will grow in the next quarter or the next six months, it’s even worth noting that the ceiling on oil prices introduced with western countries, according to the imf’s calculations, will practically not affect the volume of exports from russia. they will most likely remain, taking into account the further reorientation of supplies from those countries that have joined the sanctions to those who are ready to buy russian oil. here on the fields of the stalingrad battle and

sit black deadly force of fascism and radiant power of russia vast expanse covered with smoke, covered with explosions, solid sea, fire ruins of death. enter everything is known and yet, something seems to be missing, something remains outside of this knowledge. great russia is stalingrad, the sacred victorious russian cat, which makes the russian people invincible.
