non-russian and byzantine and sometimes western european art, which we show here and which are told , represent images, and heavenly patrons of the great princes and talk about the piety of the great princes of warriors. donetsk makiivka and gorlovka under artillery fire from the apu, also ukrainian troops drop ammunition with the help of drones aiming at people alone, there is already a wounded man in donetsk there, we will learn about our special correspondent. boris maksudov. he is live in the facts from donetsk boris welcome. what is the situation now? greetings colleagues, artyomovsk is increasingly in the closer embrace of russian fighters and armies. marinka avdeevka pervomayskaya

hot spots directly adjacent to the donetsk situation. there, the authorities of the dpr call it stably heavy. well, the donetsk agglomeration itself and the rear areas live in conditions of an ongoing artillery duel. over the past half hour, we have counted at least 15 such characteristic sounds, when shells burst at about three or four kilometers from the center of donetsk well, not of course. now the main attention is focused on the clashes in artyomovsk, i’m not afraid of this word, the whole world is watching how the situation is developing there now about this. denis pushilin told in an interview to our tv channel. eh, it's moving forward. now our forces are there, according to available information. already the battles are taking place in the industrial zone, they are now called, uh, by the nature of the battles. e. artemovskaya is already the second em of mariupol, and not, according to various estimates, up to several thousand people, the affected forces were concentrated there

ukraine is such a delay in fighting. there including some experts. they say that this is in the hands of our forces, because the forces of the ukrainian armed forces are gradually grinding there and less and less. e ways for the expense remains , including this was not in a hurry. let's give a word. no less important , the settlement of avdiivka, the enemy still has about five supply roads, and they, well, these roads are definitely under our, well, conditional, probably, fire control. that is not so, uh situation, sad, yet for the enemy. well, let's say, as in artyomovsk, nevertheless. uh, here they are already continuing. uh, offensive actions, and from the side of krasnogorovka our units. here we see that from the other side. and where its units are also advancing, it is absolutely possible to speak systematically, but our

units are moving forward, including along the marinka. and literally for every house in marinka, avdeevka now there are fights, let me remind you why it is important. now, from there, push your opponents from these settlements for a long time shelled, donetsk the farther the enemy is now these settlements, the safer it is here in the center. although, of course, this security can be called relative even if artillery or hail to the center. donetsk do not reach, then, the petrovsky district, the outskirts of donetsk gorlovka and hay are practically under heavy fire . it is known that the consequences of another shelling are now in gorlovka. the host building was also destroyed, and, of course , the wounded, but with what mood are the fighters now leading an offensive there. here on these here on these directions. let's show. jewish direction well, as they shoot, we shoot, we destroy the enemy. thank god we are

fine. without losses, we are working, there is a lot of progress, in general we often ride straight very often we move. we can judge the activity of fighting there now even here in the center of donetsk on a daily basis. we see how vgs planes, russian helicopters fly in the sky, which gradually grind up opponents. and in this part, i'll remind you. it is practically some few kilometers from donetsk and it is very good. here you hear how in that part go. uh, the fights aren't moving as fast as we'd like. there, denis pushed our forces about this, including telling, let's listen. why is the enemy doing everything possible to drag out this time, that is, it has already been there for about a month and a half. we see that fierce battles continue there, but at the same time, our units are advancing, that is, they are grinding a huge amount, and the enemy’s reserves

are being transferred on an ongoing basis. well, donetsk itself is a front-line city, it seems considered or rear cities. such as volnovakha it is also unsafe here. for the second week now, they have been recording the fact that grenades are dropped from drones on civilians in the territory of peaceful cities. and that's not counting the fact that for several months now on the outskirts. in donetsk , ukrainian militants scatter, uh, petals, on which residents periodically, uh, get injured, and every time. here the authorities of the dpr warn to be more attentive than colleagues. thank you boris , our special correspondent boris max was in direct contact with the facts the tank coalition is expanding, but kiev still won't get planes. at least until this is, perhaps, the main

outcome of the meeting of nato defense ministers in the rammstein format, they discussed the expansion of military assistance to the all-union, there were no breakthroughs, but ukrainians are already openly urged to hurry up deliveries need to be worked out by an under-tank coalition. this refers to european countries that agreed to transfer leopard tanks to ukraine, each with several pieces, but in the end it turns out more than 150 vehicles, the term itself was coined by the chief of the pentagon louis toaster. and now it became known that to join this coalition, sweden will also send 10 leopards to kiev. norway promised to provide air defense systems for sams, the french defense minister said that amx wheeled tanks had already arrived in ukraine. in addition, ammunition and various equipment would also be handed over to kiev. well, the main requirement of the ukrainian country is combat aircraft, so far it has remained unanswered for more. togo, the supply of fighters to nato on ramstein did not even discuss the reasons for a lot of unwillingness to lose. these fighters are absent in combat. near kyiv

the ability to service western aircraft and the lack of trained pilots and engineers require at least several months of training. for a long time, the process has begun to grind non-ukrainian former soviet equipment, and western, that is, the process of demilitarization of nato countries is underway, and now they are very much aware of this, logistics does not have time and have already said more than once that in order to increase production, let's say manpads to the americans. it takes five or six years if they stop delivering to europe now, and even worse things are going. so ramstein will run out of something, they will collect everything in the bottom of the barrel. earlier, poland announced that it was ready to transfer a batch of old mig-29s to ukraine. the first of them, almost this week , expects to receive f-16s from the americans for himself in exchange for an easy one. but in any case , the kiev regime

has not yet seen modern western aircraft. uh, the supply of the kiev regime with american fighters, but in general, stillborn initially and by now it has become clear that he has no prospects, if only because pilots for 16 are needed teach. well, actually at least a year. but the moment-29 that we left is not so many among the poles is not clear. how much and it is not clear in what condition, well, they will podlot and hand it over. the publication of the politician writes that the americans demand from kiev the results of the already delivered so many weapons, ukrainians must provide some kind of reporting. well , for example, in the form of a successful offensive in the near future, it doesn’t matter if the all-in-one is ready for this or not. the main thing is to fulfill the requirements. the western portal milita, the media center considered

that ukraine received from the west in a year. in general complexity of more than 117,000 weapons from rifles to rocket artillery, american german military analysts have calculated that the total amount of deliveries already exceeds $ 60 billion , more than 40 countries have delivered weapons to kiev, most of all delivered, of course, the americans are not going to stop the amount of $ 46 billion, despite to the fact that they have now taken a kind of pause in the supply of heavy weapons. the american media reacted violently to the calls of senator lindsey graham to shoot down russian military aircraft on the air programs, and carlson's cancer, the politician's thesis was called a disaster and urged to answer for her words natalya goncharova will continue journalist tucker carlson criticized senator lindsey graham, who called for shooting down russian military aircraft on the air of his show, the tv presenter said that vladimir

zelensky was trying to drag the americans into the war, and he himself only mastering the money that he receives from washington, the reporter called on lindsey graham to explain himself to the americans for calls for an escalation. they are pushing us to go to war to shoot down russian planes that don't shoot us first it's an act of war and of course war savvy lindsey graham knows this very well we asked lindsey graham to come on the show to explain why we have to start world war iii. he, of course, refused, as he did many times before. however, the rest of the media in america, as always, is on his side in the building, and the american in these called graham's statements dangerous, according to bradley's columnist, dalyn, the senator actually offered to unleash a full-fledged conflict, with russia , however . he said americans can do it's in his cunning scenario that graham's idea is that the only way to avoid a third world war. to begin

with, it must be admitted that an obvious strike on russian military aircraft will lead to war with moscow , and when russia responds, the us will feign surprise and be drawn into the conflict. the rest of nato is an intricate alliance. they are back, as is the great war that will follow, meanwhile in the chinese global times. they wrote on whose fault an american drone crashed in the black sea in the material notes that the united states is conducting more and more military operations abroad, so the frequency of extreme provocations on their part is increasing with this opinion, dmitry polyansky, first deputy permanent representative of russia to the un three, also agrees . these were well known. this is part of the conflict prevention arrangements that are usually made between the great powers in such situations. that's why we think it

with a deliberate and very dangerous provocation, maria zakharova ironically reacted to john kirby's words that getting a drone from the bottom of the black sea is not an easy task, let me remind you , a pentagon official said that american experts are studying footage from the crash site, but i'm not sure what to raise the wreckage of the drone real john get the new york times from the phone of a private ukrainian company that, according to american propaganda, blew up the nord stream pipelines very, very deep in the baltic sea. it's judging by your papers deep flight specialists. they will get in the american media footage appeared, allegedly of an incident with a drone in the black sea. here they show how a russian plane is approaching an american uav, as the russian ministry of defense previously stated, due to sharp maneuvering, the american drone went into uncontrolled flight, then lost altitude and fell into the water of the black sea natalya

goncharova news. now economy news shortly big business will pay the budget, 5% excess profit collection will affect a tenth russian companies this was stated by the head of the ministry of finance. anton silanov, money can be transferred and next year the conditions will no longer be so favorable to the minister. urged the business to spare no expense. they will go to infrastructure social spending, and as a result , entrepreneurs will return mechanisms that would encourage entrepreneurs to pay a little bit this year. e, although the possibility of payment next year will be, but it will be less financial profitably increased by a quarter at the end of the year reached eight trillion rubles. these are offset data according to russian standards less, a positive result in terms of profit, the holding earned about 750 billion rubles. this is 3 1/2 times less than in 2021. earlier it was reported that gas production in russia

fell by almost 12% at the end of the year . according to the results of the year, the russian vimpelcom lost $317 million a year earlier, it had a profit of $674 million. in turn, vimpelcom. the parent company of the beeline brand reduced sales by one and a half percent and closed the year with revenue of 286 billion rubles. and the sale of russian business, and it became local management. known. in november , all the necessary permits and european ones have been received under the deal. the central bank raised the rate by 50 basis points to 3.5% by the regulator. continues to tighten credit policy amid growth. prices, taking into account the new rate, the cb, expect a slowdown in inflation in the eurozone to five and three tenths of a percent. however, this

still exceeds the target of 2% and a clear values ​​it will turn out not earlier than 2025 , the regulator predicts. this was the news of the economy in short. france passed a law raising the retirement age announcement made the prime minister to do it was not just the deputies shouted and did not give her the floor. well, this way. it turns out that the president of france decided to carry out the draft pension reform without a vote in the national assembly, as bfm reports , citing its own sources, the decision was made by the president due to the uncertainty of the authorities that the draft pension reform, providing for an increase in the retirement age will collect a sufficient number of votes in the lower house of parliament. we will learn all the details from my colleague regina sevastyanov, she has a direct connection with the facts . regina greetings and you have the floor. tell us how this decision was made in france. hello. well, i will say that you were accepted , of course, negatively, because at the moment

when the debates continued in the national assembly, or rather, the debates were to begin at the doors of the parliament and we will recognize the parliament. a large number of ordinary french. and, of course, leaders. the unions were also there, who airily announced that if they make a decision on the reform, especially without a vote in the lower house of parliament, then they are considering this decision, how to achieve a very negative one and intend to continue to carry on for bottles and block the french economy and after it became known that the french prime minister announced the decision of the government, and to carry out this reform without a vote. they repeated their threats and said they were disappointed. and the topic what decision was made the decision was made somehow natalia noted after this series of consultations of president emmanuli matrona with his cabinet of ministers, but only in the last 24 hours. prior to the macron, he called his ministers to discuss the situation and, according to

preliminary estimates. indeed, this is a vote in the national assembly. it might not have passed either then the national team shouting over the left, who sang martelese throughout this rather difficult moment for her and shouting over the right, who simply whistling made a noise declared that she could not drown in a swamp the 175 hours of consultation that the inter-parliamentary assembly had to hold in order to adopt this effect, therefore, as she said , she took upon herself the responsibility to apply , er, the amendment of the turks nine three of the french a constitution that allows this reform to be carried out without a vote. without the fact, the reform is now considered accepted, however, the opposition has 24 hours, that is, until 15-20 tomorrow time, in order to put on vote. here he does not trust the prime minister and her cabinet that the bez will be done already, and the right and the socialists announced that they will make

this proposal in the very near future , incessant strikes and protests, in particular. uh, hmm, there were fireballs, posts will be blocked by the refinery terminal of a non-refinery. in the same were blocked. today, several ports, a sanitation strike that led to garbage problems. the same goes on even another procession of the professor was held today by youth organizations. and now, as i said. the opposition has 24 hours to submit a request for a vote on lack of confidence in it, which will be done when this vote passes directly . to the origin , thank you , regina sevastyanova was in direct contact with the facts. the victory museum and the media holding russia today signed a cooperation agreement agreed

to exchange information experience to be held in local events, including seminars and conferences, all this happened before, but now the relationship has been fixed on paper. the main task is to strengthen patriotic education. in the same place , preservation of both the old and cultural heritage. our agency will fuel this space. we now have more than fifty war correspondents on rotation located in the zone of a special military operation. and they write, take pictures, take pictures. and they convey the meaning of the era , the meaning of this most important period in which russia now lives. complex suppression of drones serp

equipment is disabled by enemy drones within a radius of 5 km. it can drown out several signals at once, the novelty has already been tested at a training ground in the leningrad region . my colleague dmitry akimov followed her work . they are practically invisible in the air of the earth, and then equipment comes into play. we see its trajectory, we turn on the suppression , we fly into the zone forbidden for flying, the uavs simply freeze in the air, as if they have bumped into a wall. it's, uh, a noise generator. that is, it does not allow the drone to suppress control signals and does not allow for an unmanned vehicle to penetrate a protected area, this is how a new modification of the serp system works, which is able to find and stop drones at

a distance of up to 5 km. well, now let's test the sickle system in action. we have a drone here. he is now we will raise him upstairs and watch how he will be suppressed. and now the device itself is turning on, it is located at a distance of one and a half kilometers from this point, all satellites are lost. so now i can manage it. is it that in manual mode and the drone absolutely does not obey lives some kind of life of its own, weak signal no gps everything the sickle worked completely domestic development. the sickle can jam entire flocks of drones at almost any frequency for just such protection systems over the past year has grown hundreds of times and russian enterprises of the rostec state corporation, in parallel with the development of new models, have already seriously increased the production of such systems dmitry akimov and sergey fadeev vesti, leningrad region. 18 regions of russia

remain flooded 127 residential and 20 suburban houses, as well as more than 1,700 household plots, while about 1,000 adjacent territories were freed from water. at the same time, the situation with natural fires has aggravated in the south of russia. we will talk more about this with the leading specialist of the phobos center alina katelevskaya. she is live in the facts of alina hello, extreme heat will linger in the european part of russia. what forecasts do you know? the spring process is characterized by a rapid change in temperature regimes. it's already getting colder in the north. she south the temperature will stay above the norm, leashes create difficulties in large cities in the vicinity, ulyanovsk overflowed the banks of the sviyaga river . they could not choose from the flooded zone on their own and were evacuated

by the rescuers the construction of a section of the road became of poor quality, and there was little water. an interesting way to fight this spring with table waters in the capital region , several videos from dmitrov shchyolkovo and other cities appeared on social networks at once. they are tractor drivers with varying degrees of enthusiasm. they are trying to disperse the water from giant puddles, and in the vicinity of the northern capital of russia, bridges are being built to overcome them. the raft is some good fellow, they managed to put the raft in order to cross, but in a different way, it holds on one side, and on the other they pass here. what it is? at the same time in the astrakhan region, the winter was not snowy here. the snow that had long melted, the water soaked into the ground, and due to high temperatures recently. the situation with natural fires has aggravated here , dozens of outbreaks are recorded, throughout the delta , wolves are employees of the astrakhan nature

reserve. extinguishes the fire, round, daily in astrakhan for the second day in a row, visibility worsened to a kilometer due to smoke. people remembered the medical masks, trying to protect themselves from the smell. garishi. here, too, smog and sandstorms are incomprehensible, but such the same haze fog. despite the unstable temperature regime, especially in the northern half of the russian plain, daytime temperatures in most regions. daytime thaws will remain positive tomorrow. a wide band from the northern border, the leningrad region to the ural ranges, the spring sun will have time to warm the air in the south. so tomorrow, south of the central region, the maximum temperature will be above plus ten in the lower reaches of the volga, high daytime temperatures and strong winds contribute to the deterioration of the fire hazard. environment. today in astrakhan it was +15-16. the wind accelerated to 10-12 m/s. at night, until

the occupation of thermometers drops to plus six , this weather pattern will continue. and in the coming days, it will be cloudy with tolerable night temperatures of about + 3 °, and daytime warming up to 16-18 degrees. save the dense east wind that blows wildfire smoke into the city. in the northern half of the european part of russia, last night it reached the warming peak. the thaw spread far to the northeast up to the coast of the barents sea, for example, in the polar naryan-mar at 6:00 in the morning it was +3.3, but the cold snap had already begun, so next night the borders of night thaws will pass through the southeast of the central region and the north of the volga region and on saturday night, positive temperatures will remain only for south in moscow, of course, not as warm as we would like, but the spring weather is unstable today in the atmospheric front zone. precipitation by the evening on the thermometer will be about plus one of them by the rain will be mixed snowflakes at night the air will cool to zero, but tomorrow afternoon already

anticyclone signs for better weather and the sun looks like on friday saturday and sunday frosty nights are expected to -8, but at the same time it is warm during the day from + 3 ° to plus six and it will rain again on monday, but night frosts in the city are predicted to be plus one, and in the afternoon up to plus seven. more than 40 shells per day were fired by artillery of the armed forces at the cities on the left bank of the dnieper, this is the data of emergency services, despite the ukrainian shelling , the kakhovka hydroelectric power station continues to work now . the turbine hall at the station is being repaired there in the so-called olga kurlaeva visited the gray zone. the turbine hall of the kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station is now the station, despite the constant shelling, still works , but civilians have been here , the hydroelectric power station has been strictly forbidden here for the last month and is located in the gray zone of the enemy’s position on the right bank of the dnieper , i would give everything in a kilometer. the staff worked under sniper

sights. here is the work of snipers in the past. thank god, not a single container was caught in the bullets flying into the hall, e.g. with transformer oil, not the six generators themselves only one turbine is loaded at full capacity, but this is enough electricity for the deserted novaya kakhovka, another turbine is in reserve in working order. the rest of the generator needed repairs are being carried out here. now, at the moment, our military specialists are repairing the three turbines that failed in combat operations. russian servicemen have taken over not only the safety of the station, but also maintains it in working order. the turbine hall is undergoing repair work. but on the street it is impossible to repair damaged valves. this is the famous work of american dimash. gotta get here. this is

one of the valves of the hydroelectric power plant. she's damaged. now the non-working valves, damaged by nato hymers , block the flow of water ; constant shelling from ukrainian militants cannot prevent the volume of discharge from being adjusted. although heavy weapons. not at the station itself, at the moment the security of the kakhovka chair is provided by units of the ministry of defense. well, there is enough quantity necessary to maintain. protection of defense and security of this object heavy equipment is heavy equipment by weight is not. but there is a watering kitchen and not one field kitchen cafe, 130, how do they say cook? the dream of any housewife, well, not in the kitchen, but in the field, she feeds and warms up more melters with special briquettes, they are supplied by the ministry of defense.

here on the territory the station itself and further olga kurlaeva. sergeevich shchepevsky, kherson region. a this is russia 24 we continue with the main facts of the day. vladimir putin spoke today at the congress of the russian union, industrialists and entrepreneurs. according to the president. the country's economy is acquiring a fundamentally different quality, it is beginning to develop according to a new model, and at the same time , the active position of the rspp and the business community is in particular demand. putin noted that there is a constant dialogue between the state and business, and this only helps the development of the economy. in addition, the head of state said that russia was able to compensate for the closure of western markets for it and expanded trade contacts with state-owned fast-growing regions.
