[000:02:16;00] now, regarding the situation in the donbass, over the past 24 hours, the settlements of the dpr were shelled 25 times, firing 126 different ammunition at them. about this in other events, we will talk with the interim head of the dpr denis pushilin, he is on direct line vladimirovich hello, tell me what can i tell you so that their destruction and the number of victims of shelling over the past day. hello yuri, the enemy continues to heal our settlements. in particular , on the eve of the enemy’s fire, it turned out to be the kievsky district, donetsk, there is a collapse of the building literally the day before, rescuers managed to extract the bodies

of three, who died as a result of the destruction of the structure after the shelling of the north ossetia, there are also victims in gorlovka, there are victims , but the enemy does not change the esauta here. e your tactics and continues to strike at a civilian structure in this way. and today there were reports that chemical weapons were used all over the place. uh, here it was reported in the artyomovsk direction. can you confirm this? and about ah statement, uh, our uh unit commanders who went out already with such information, this is not only in the artyomov direction, but also in the ugoldar direction, that is, there are facts of the use of uh chemical uh chemical compounds that cause discomfort, that is, our military personnel in fact. eh, these appeals

are already being passed to me. well , for at least three weeks. is there an understanding? what substances are used? what are the consequences if the remedies ? so far to study and decompose well , the chemical composition of what the enemy uses has not yet been possible, that is, such a task is worth, that is, they are dropped from a drone at the location of our units. that is, it makes you cough. uh, next is tearfulness and, uh, general malaise. so these are the characteristics. are any additional chemical protection kits needed? ah , now we are trying to complete the units at the unit, that is, but again, uh , there is something of the necessary, but to be constantly, and it is not

always convenient to be in the positions of uh in chemical protection. and, of course, it gets in the way. uh, our units. well, in general, let's say perform the tasks that they face, so now we are looking for additional ways to protect our military personnel. the only thing is great, how would you generally characterize the situation on the front line. what is the situation like? in different sectors, we see a situation that is similar to some extent, that is, we will start in a compliance direction. that is, there, uh, the position of the enemy has seriously deteriorated. imagine that the enemy was forced to transfer part of the reserves that were planned to be sent to artyomovsky plot. eh, they were forced to transfer it to the carbon direction. eh, nonetheless. we can now say that the enemy is already in the observation direction. uh, it’s been fixed undermining, and high-rise buildings, that is, in case

he has to retreat in the coal itself, is located, and according to our estimates , there are about 1,000 more civilians, that is , who are in the basements, that is, and our units, as soon as , but an opportunity arises. as soon as they release, this or that house, of course, does not try withdraw. uh, civilian civilians. yes, the direction to worry about and where it is at least relatively safe to provide the necessary assistance means the surroundings. from the southern and western sides, i mean the so-called dachas, that is, it is now under control, but the situation is not unfolding so easily, nevertheless, the task that the divisions face. that is, it does not run as fast as we would like. eh, with regard to the maryinsky direction. fierce battles also continue there, and the opponents are still ahh. trying to keep position, that is, the next e, nine structures were liberated the day before. where the enemy is. e on equipped his positions and

held quite serious ones. now the situation has changed. she is in the disk direction. the positional one is going on in the same way, but the confrontation, that is, our unit is advancing. well, extremely extremely slowly, that is, taking into account. well, let's say. the situation, but understand what to do next, it is a solidarity direction. here, uh, the unit of the integers continues to move in a westerly direction, that is, the fighting continues in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe inhabited point razdolovka further battles, also attacking e, activities of the country of chavyk-vaarder, in the direction or in the vicinity of the already red mountain along the raskovyovka in artyomovsk, are also going on, and in the northern part of this settlement they once fortified. and further there and the eastern part, where the industrial zone also

continues fighting, but there you can also already speak of some part already in the uh wide mountains. they entrenched themselves there and continue from these positions, that is, to displace the enemy. uh, also uh, now it is important for the enemy to keep e logistics component, that is, we mean a bunch of artems. now yar that is why the enemy is transferring additional reserves in the form of armored vehicles and manpower from konstantinovka well , because he cut off this road, but destroyed it, and the enemy logistics. it seems that in very unfavorable conditions, moreover, we fix that already in konstantinovka itself , the enemy is trying to equip additional lines of defense, that is, understanding. and how will it develop? the situation after the release is already

directly at artyomovsky himself. the only thing is how many ukrainian soldiers are being captured now, and how would you characterize morale in general . find out in different ways, there are different prisoners. that is, if it concerns the mobilized there, especially the thermobilized ones, which are strong and these, and we see numerous stories from different uh cities. the rest of ukraine where they are caught practically on the street. well, here are such, uh, here, uh, listeners mobilized there, well, the corresponding moods, that is , there is no fighting spirit, there is no question there, but they are hostages to the situation, because they cannot help but go forward or make attempts, but there are no ways to retreat back, because there are some kind of barrier detachments. that is, this is already a quick tactic for the enemy. here in relation to the mobilized, that is, and

directly behind them. uh, a radical unit, that is, uh, nationalists, who are practically pushing them into the war zone trying to prevent under any circumstances any kind of retreat? well, in fact, for these mobilized or captured or death, that is, they have practically no other option, with regard to, let 's say ideological ones. uh, these are vushnikovs, who , that is, uh, hope to believe there, yes. all ah, those ideas that are voiced by the ukrainian regime there, and by western partners there. well, of course, they are more optimistic, but this optimism disappears very quickly when they are already captured and appropriate conversations begin with them, corresponding to the authorities. who is authorized to do this , as regards the prisoners. is it planned

new exchanges? and the process of exchanging prisoners is always complicated, it is fraught with a number of difficulties , and here, of course, our task is simple to return all those guys who are, that is, ukrainian captivity. naturally. we would not like to give anyone in return, but you wouldn’t have exchanges otherwise, therefore , under the most difficult conditions , the negotiation process for the exchange takes place, but nevertheless, that is , we see that from time to time everything is already being negotiated, that is, we succeed return our servicemen's homes to their families in security. it is the americans who promise kiev new long-range missiles. e gls db. by mind. they're called lsd, which is a different name for how serious the threats are. this creates for uh, the dpr and well in general for our grouping.

here, one should not underestimate the enemy, of course, on the part of the russian armed forces , additional methods of counteraction will be required, but at the same time, that is, the roots of this situation were somehow changed, of course, they cannot change the course of events. as for the territory. donetsk people's republic yes, of course, we are fine we understand that, taking into account the supply of such weapons. we will have to push the enemy even further on the territory of the republic so that he does not have the physical ability to reach our settlements, while this process is underway to liberate the territory, then, of course. uh, now uh, time to think about additional air defense systems and anti-missile equipment. a, but let's just say here it is worth considering the fact that the enemy. and i would say the united states of america is counting, or rather, everything they are doing it in order to only raise the escalation of the conflict to a new level,

that is, to raise this degree, but in view of the fact that such long-range weapons are not needed at the front itself, that is, in fact. uh, this is at risk, that is, critical infrastructure facilities located in tula , this uh endangers civilian facilities that are located in tula and not only on the territory of the donetsk people's republic well, in neighboring but, uh, other regions of the russian federation so of course here. uh, you need to, uh, keep your finger on the pulse , but, in principle, what the armed forces of the russian federation are doing now, uh , denis vladimirovich, we don’t have much time left, nevertheless. i would also like to ask you about the humanitarian situation in the dpr. tell us how you assess the food products and medicines. and hmm what about the prices for them. so, with regard to prices, this is our sore subject now, uh, which is in the spotlight not only at our regional level, but at

the federal level. why because from of factors, our prices still remain higher than in the neighboring rostov region , of course, which causes misunderstanding in our citizens, of course, uh, and given the gradual increase in income that we are now trying to achieve, of course, this is not very positively refuses and on the mood, therefore, special attention is paid. and a whole range of measures is being worked out, something in the medium term. well, something is already being done directly. now, if we talk about the medium term, then, of course, now we are talking about the decision to expand checkpoints, and the expansion of roads, an increase in the number of checkpoints, which will positively affect logistics, reduce its cost and, of course, will not. so here's the shipping cost. a-a reflected in the price on the shelf is directly in stores already, as well as planned. well, that's already in

the short term. this is the work that is already being done. it works with networks. this is the alignment of additional wholesale logistics centers. where can they buy products, not only among, but also convenience stores due to the fact that we have a structure, and the second chain is quickly a little different than in other regions of the russian federation, if we are talking about the russian federation, this is from other regions, then there 80% are chains and 20% is occupied by a convenience store , that is, the so-called as for the donetsk people's republic, we have a cardinal opposite situation, we have 80% - these are small shops, shops near the house and 20% are engaged, so the availability to buy and purchase products for our stores at reasonable prices, of course, we must to provide both here such and a small shop. well, that is, complex work, which is now in the spotlight, as i said at the federal level, and a meeting is being held between manufacturers and networks. well, that is, this

is work that is happening there on a daily basis, so that now we can change prices significantly in the near future and align them with the level of the rostov region. yes denis comrade thank you for, uh, answers to questions. together with you, we will closely follow the developments in this area the situation as soon as there will be some changes. we ask you to comment. thank you once again for taking the time to answer our question live, and let me remind you that acting head of the dpr denis sergey lavrov was in touch with the studio . he is on a two-day working visit to baghdad. head trip. the ministry of foreign affairs of russia, our special correspondent, natalya solovyova, she has now gone directly into communication, natalya, hello, and first of all felt, if the earthquake that happened today in turkey and syria and uh, regarding the official agenda, what

statements were made? yes, hello yulia, indeed, we felt certain fluctuations. despite the fact that the epicenter of this earthquake, as you rightly noted, was in turkey, turkish cities were mostly affected, as well as syrian ones, but nevertheless, somewhere at half past five in the morning. we have a time difference between moscow and baghdad. no, we felt. well, personally, i'm in a room that is a bed, well, quietly, like as if floating away, and from me some colleagues even hurried to the street and these hesitation. they did not last long enough and somehow very quickly everything, but calmed down. well, of course, this is the echo, these echoes of earthquakes, did not affect today's program in any way today, but sergei lavrov arrived at the iraqi foreign ministry, where we are now, early in the morning to meet with his visa with his, and a colleague moved through the streets , despite the fact that we are located in the so-called green zone or government quarter, where is the main administrative buildings in baghdad are still with maximum measures. security - this is a motorcade, this is ah, armored

cars. and this includes bulletproof vests that each member of the delegation has, always in the car just in case, of course, here today they recalled the events that happened 20 years ago, when secretary of state demonstrated colin paul demonstrated, and a test tube with some white substance. uh, this, of course, was not anthrax disputes about this, he was talking about it, but nevertheless it served an occasion to drain e and cancer on march 20, 2003. sergey lavrov also mentioned this here today. we remember how other arab cities were compared to mosul. and how the syrian mountains of raqqa and many other war crimes were compared with the land, which, to our great regret, did not cause the world

community at that time, but any nervousness and any desire to put. but those circumstances, above all the war in libya at the center of the entire world agenda. didn't leave. now he is waging a hybrid war in ukraine , demanding from other countries that they support anti-russian sanctions. baghdad, by the way, did not make this the goal of disrupting the minsk agreements. but the fact that the disruption was an e task and ukraine of the west was publicly recognized by all those who signed them, except for president putin , so we cited facts indicating that the purpose of disrupting these agreements was to create conditions for arming ukraine against the russian federation and also the goal

was to destroy the right of the russian and russian-speaking population of the ukrainian state very saturation diplomatic relations between moscow and bogdan were about 80 years ago. they developed in completely different contexts of the international agenda, but at the same time they have always remained friendly and continue to develop military-technical developments, while infrastructure is being restored. companies operating in iraq and also moscow are ready in national currencies. our oil companies have very serious investments here and far-reaching plans with their iraqi partners have already invested more than 13 billion

dollars, and, of course, in the current conditions of illegal restrictions imposed by the americans and their satellites , it is fundamentally important to secure legitimate economic relations from illegal pressure from the west, one of the key partners in the middle east and therefore the range of issues that are being discussed here today is why sergey lavrov scheduled meetings not only with his colleague. right. we noticed that a meeting with the president has already taken place. basmanny court of moscow sentenced blogger veronica in absentia

in bila tserkva by 9:00 a.m. she was found guilty of disseminating false information about the actions of the armed forces, and the court banned her from administering internet resources for 5 years. e earlier belotserkovsky was declared an ingent. uh, my blogger was also arrested in absentia and property in moscow and st. petersburg was also arrested. in the north of the zaporozhye region, the russian army created a powerful fortress with engineering structures, trenches, dugouts and trenches , along with experienced fighters, the assigned tasks are performed by mobilized military personnel my colleague. olga kurlaeva, visited the line of defense. we are in one of the positions. e, means, e of our troops means on e, the front line of defense. this is our main position, where the number of trains is located, well, we worked out yes

, we try, vasilyevsky district. north of the zaporozhye region, the line of contact stretched here for more than 50 km, the front line, the defense of ukrainian positions just a few kilometers away, they can be seen with the naked eye. recently. there were only observation posts, and now a powerful fortified area with dozens of engineering structures connected by a winding network of trenches and equipped trenches. enemy. it can be seen, of course, it can be seen. movement on that, respectively, on the shore, all these questions are visible, but i wanted to say about something else, we are at the combat position of our heavy machine gun, one of the main means of destruction for us e, the aiming range of which is up to 2 km and, accordingly, 2 km. we can keep, so , uh, the surrounding area allows us to once again put a conscientious panel

tasks. in principle, we are fulfilling them. and for us, the task of mobilized military personnel of the russian federation from the saratov region is on duty at this advance. they record any activity of the enemy, send data, and if necessary, the battle enters , heavy russian weapons, the regiment commander with the call sign atlas, tells how the enemy unsuccessfully tried to break through the line, but failed because of the failures, there were attempts to get over here already. yes, there were torture, uh , two or three attempts, it was still in turn and so on, respectively, they were all reflected, the enemy was destroyed, let's say sunk and the rest turned around in their e, returned to themselves, respectively, was washed ashore. uh body in military uniform, as it turned out later? it was

a polish mercenary, the commander of the regiment himself is giving us a tour of the line of trenches, here we have a place of storage. for the battle, the necessary ammunition here is 5,45-72 and 12,7 plus rpg shots that is, during the battle, when the military personnel for the descent of their ammunition on command, it means the ammunition carrier moves forward here, takes the necessary ones and takes them to combat positions , an atlas, it would have passed it and baptism in the first chechen one, then there was south ossetia , the features of this military operation, according to the combat one, and this is the use of various gadgets. well, in this area. uh, let's just say the artillery chase and, accordingly, the drones. a drone is, as it were, the main thing that they can do for us now, we are moving

along a deep trench, it was not specially equipped to mislead unmanned reconnaissance aircraft in the sky, i would today clean, but this is bad for us before lunch , two enemy drones on the left flank were eliminated, one managed to drop a mine, but the enemy never reached the goal. we are now turning to them as a kind of unfortunate misunderstanding and a reminder that we are still at the forefront of defense and, accordingly, are in combat conditions. so we have already learned to deal with them. here they know how to listen to the sky buzzing chirping do not pose a direct threat. but the hovering bird is either preparing to drop a grenade, or transmits coordinates to enemy gunners drone must be eliminated. as they say on the approach in my hands, the antiron is called the harpy, the connection with the morning is broken. the drone loses control, you can land or

destroy it, it is already working. she is imprisoned right, as it seems, there is, and i work, the harpy antitron is a gift from saratov. they take care of their mobilized fellow countrymen with a gun effectively, however, the commander shares a military trick and has a buckshot, which helps the same. at closer distances, destroy, uh, drones, and everything that flies above us, according to the commanders. you cut down the defense regiment at any moment. can become fire, so at the forefront. there is always an orderly shooter, he provides emergency assistance to a wounded soldier and he is transferred to a medical dugout to wait out the artak. it is possible to shelter this shelter. now it can easily withstand e-e fire shells, large enough in size and rest, damn it, even where there is electricity. and very warm. here is the saratov potbelly stove heating the dugout. uh, one potbelly stove is enough for such a room

2x3 more stone, damn it, even shelter built in such a way as to disperse the personnel as much as possible. on the position, this will minimize losses among the military personnel, touchingly, but in every dugout in the kitchen in every room. these are the postcards that children send to the russian military. they are anxious about them, the regiment commander recalls how the commander of the airborne forces, hero of russia mikhail teplinskiy, visited the positions, he noted the high training and staffing of the creon. the general gave warm sleeping bags for transporting the wounded, but so far they are fortunately , olga kurlaeva was never used for its intended purpose. sergey shchepkin, zaporozhye

region. vladimir putin expressed his condolences to turkey and syria on the occasion of the powerful earthquake, which led to numerous casualties , the kremlin press service reports . and this is what presidential press secretary dmitry peskov said from the needs of the turkish republic turkey certainly has its own
