therefore, i would say that now we are at a decisive moment in this sense, and it is necessary that there is not only an accurate, verified picture of what is happening, but also what we need to do. we have said more than once that under such conditions , it will be difficult for us to do enough work in the two areas set out in the istanbul agreement last year. difficult to go ahead, please now stated that her meeting discussed the issues of the turkish courts, which are stuck in the ukrainian ones. uh, there was a discussion. and at what stage is this plan in general, there is, and so far, as it were, such a hundred, i can confirm that the issue of withdrawing, in particular, turkish ships from ukrainian ports, was indeed discussed , and it is clear here that ships are here where they are and that they cannot leave from there due to security conditions. after all, a lot. there are a lot of mined areas, so

to speak, areas that are simply dangerous for wiring. and it is clear that this is the duty of the ukrainian side. we, in our turn, say that in regard to, and ensuring the security of the withdrawal after the withdrawal such ships at sea outside the ukrainian zone. we will provide this security, so it is very important in this case. naturally, as it would be rightly said, the study of specific and specific conditions of wiring here should not be in a hurry, but rather make a well-considered decision, but i repeat, our principled position is that we are not slowing down. you are these ships, on the contrary. we are, so to speak, prepared in principle to assist in the conclusions of these courts. where such assistance from the russian side will be needed and necessary. please tell me to explode either questions about the reconnection of rosselkhozbank to swift of course, we discussed this, although , as a matter of fact, as i said, the agenda was primarily on the black sea initiative, but we firmly and

clearly recalled what russia's memorandum provides for, and there, you know, we publicly spoke openly about it. what systemic problems need to be solved and the first systemic problem that you correctly called is the reconnection of the russian agricultural bank to swift. it must be said that in this area promotion. no more, uh, k. unfortunately, uh, we are known to be skeptical, because in general it can be done, nevertheless , it is clear that without retinue without this rosselkhozbank, the state-owned bank of russia , which works specifically to ensure transactions in the field. e. agricultural products of fertilizers will not work without reconnecting to swift. in what they lived, such operations are impossible to do. bronya, the head of the turkish foreign ministry stated that, hmm, the role of an intermediary role is possible. e-e turkish e-banks in

the matter of connecting the russian agricultural the way swift wanted to ask how, uh, realistic, uh, realistic such a, uh, scenario was and was discussed and discussed here now today, this question was not discussed. yesterday, too , in any case, any assistance in terms of normal operation without the e-sanction impact of our bank. we would only welcome. please, and at the moment there are already three candidates left. uh, all these agreements depend so much on who, thanks to their state, because the sharp side insists that personal heat-bearing influenced the achievement agreed on july 22nd. and now, uh, what is the importance, uh, we really appreciate in our political activity of turkey, we appreciate

how our relations are developing, and in all areas, and in this sense, we respect and will treat this choice, which the turkish people will make us the upcoming elections, on the fourteenth of may, as you said about it . she shrunk. uh, in semi condition for may. uh, i would like to ask, uh, what could it be connected with and is u really seeing a reduction in u viewing of ships? this is an important question. he's not even technical. i just said that our teams, our team , works very professionally at the joint constitutional center. i'm telling you, this is with full responsibility, because i participated , uh, in one of these inspections in the timing area. what does it mean? this means that

representatives joint traditional center from ukraine to russia, the un representatives must make sure that at the entrance and exit after the loading of bulk carriers, these bulk carriers work as they should work. that is, those cargoes are being transported, which are declared that there is no violation in the electric power in transportation, there is no violation in the documentation. for us it is important. we take this seriously, so we carry out inspections and carry out inspections on the basis of a set of rules agreed upon by consensus, that is, on the basis of the procedures that were laid down and approved by all parties, our sobieski chaos center was operating from the very beginning. and here we can't give up hmm year in numbers, and we won't, it is also natural, as long as

the initiative is announced by the un general in favor of helping countries that are experiencing food shortages. of course, we think that, first of all , this kind of ship was sent to such countries in african countries, the poorest countries, so that there was absolutely no introduction of commercial liquid, vein. here in this e in these operations. please tell me technically there are not many questions. today the meeting was held at the level of the deputy minister. ah, is there a date for a new meeting, uh, and what topics will be discussed there, indeed today yesterday consultations were held at the level of deputy defense ministers and, uh, foreign affairs - this is a high level. uh , discussed all the issues about which this is what she said were passengers in detail, and in any case, i think that such an exchange is useful for understanding the situation. we repeat, e, in

an exhaustive form, in expanded form, expressed our assessments, a new meeting to hate is not scheduled, but we remain. naturally, in close contact with the turkish representatives. as known within the framework of the grain initiative what was planned? the main yes, if not most of the grain will go, as you said, to the poor poor countries, but in fact we are faced with the fact that uh . most of it goes to european countries, developing countries, uh, and. is there any information can be on uhm proportions uhmm so grain agricultural products, which in the framework of the grain initiative in the casino transaction was uh sent as european countries. so

it can be, of course, this information is there, it is open. we published it publishes. together, somehow a sleepy center and again, i repeat, that over 40% goes. these are countries with a high middle income level, which does not correspond to the declared noble goals, but the fight against hunger, ensuring food security and by and large . here are those countries. uh, the poorest who really face real problems that we help. we , including through the un world food programme, go there two and sixty percent. this, of course, is not enough. this, of course, is not enough, and these are the bosses that we would like to eliminate through their real work within the framework of the initiative. and as for the initiative thanks to one initiative, we are talking about the black sea cycle. why because it provides not only land, it provides ammonia, ammonia as the most important product for the production of fertilizers, without which, in general,

the harvest is guaranteed. uh, in african countries in other countries it is essentially impossible so here is the issue of ammonia, although it is included in the memorandum of the offshore initiative. it is still unresolved to this day. we are about we speak frankly about this and the ukrainian side, because the ukrainian side arises periodically. no, not the first time there is a stop. there were political terms. e, start of work on ammonia on e, use of ammonia wires, tolyatti odessa and the ukrainian side somehow comments on the road map antonit, cottage. yes, of course, this is such a serious event, that is, the secretary of genius , as you know, sent his messages to president a in russia, turkey, and also to kiev, these proposals provide for,

just some interconnected steps regarding the restoration of ammonia supplies through the ammonia wire that i was told, and also, perhaps some other ideas, but i want to say that these ideas proposed by the lights are now being worked out. we have interdepartmental processing. we are serious in any case. ah, the package principle. do this and you will get something for yourself, supposedly useful, i think the batch principle is wrong. this again very much resembles some kind of preconditions, so we are in favor of not looking for, uh, character the black sea initiative and even more so, uh, against what is expressed, for example, no in many western capitals against its expansion or there is an endless extension. we must understand what is being done, including by us, what is being done to look for the participation

of these. please tell me, if all of a sudden the 18th maine are given the extensibility of the black sea initiative, including uh, to get some kind of guarantees for the implementation of the agreed ammonia glass. uh, what options in this case, perhaps ceases to exist? because uh, well, i'd say so uh, an initiative that brings some unilateral benefits to one of the parties is nonsense, can be recognized and, uh, confirmed by everyone. we are right as you said. naturally, in the first place, we protect the national interest of russia , its agricultural producers. uh, fertilizer and eventually. we also naturally. we are doing this taking into account the general situation on the world food market. she is quite mellow. questions is it possible in a technical way

to ensure that e, initiatives russia's interests were ensured , and we are trying to achieve it, without this. it just doesn't make sense there is no interest for russia and participation. what events? and the terms were not stipulated for two months, 121, let's say they offer cardboard boxes, well, there were different proposals. we proceed from the fact that there was a decision to extend for 60 days 60 days expires on may 18 work, now contacts continue, but, nevertheless, naturally, all other terms and wishes of the parties. they can only be considered, but we are not going to act against our interests or against our interests.

protests over the arrest in islamabad of former prime minister imran khan. as reported by local media, the supreme court of pakistan ordered the immediate release of khan. let me remind you, he was removed from power in 2022. after that, russian ambassador to pakistan danila ganich went into opposition, now in direct connection with the facts. hello danila viktorovich. after the arrest of the main opposition leader of the country, as we have already said, how would you characterize the situation in the country at the moment, how tense the situation is, why all this according to your feelings, it can lead. the situation is tense, because there is a confrontation between the authorities and the leader of the main opposition force. this leader, imran ham, is very popular.

he is not only a famous politician, but he is also a legend in pakistan because cricket is very popular here, and he was at one time, uh, the captain of the national cricket team, which became in the ninety-second year, for the first time until the last time, the world champion on the river, so the situation tense, but you correctly mentioned that the higher court of the country. gave orders to the release of this politician and, in principle, i see signs of detente here in this situation, but in general the situation is controlled and it was controlled by the pakistani authorities before. the same diplomatic missions in the country including for our russian embassy. i don't see any. ah, threats. now, simply because of the nature of these

protests, the fact is that when a couple of years ago cartoons of the prophet mohammed were published in france, then this protest was. uh, sent too in pakistan there were riots, and they were directed at the french, who made this story with uh cartoons, and then barricaded themselves in their embassy, ​​but since now uh, the nature of the protests is purely internal within the political, and the protesters uh, not u direct. e your, as they say protests your anger against foreigners. this is the first and second. uh, at least, uh our embassy and such benefits most foreigners are located in the special treatment area. uh, the pakistani capital is called diplomacy diplomatic obklad, which is guarded and

we have no problems here and are not expected. well, yes, well, as a whole, you could characterize, today, russian pakistani relations. how is our business cooperation developing, including, of course, e in the energy sector? first of all , pakistan belongs to the countries with a traditional way of life in every sense, and it is quite easy for us to find a common language, because these are not uh, uh, ideological people. these are people. eh, they are pragmatic e about the same way we look at life in politics, so find a common language with them it’s quite simple, and we appreciate this pragmatism, this normality, that people listen to arguments. e, and e with them

you can find a common language and come to a compromise relationship. we are great. uh, in terms of political contacts. the intensity is very high and at the highest level, since president putin, for example, met in the last meeting of the council of heads of state. boat in the fall of last year with the current prime minister shag base jarif this year, minister lavrov, met three times with mead's leaders twice with the federal minister of foreign affairs and uh, once with the minister of state for foreign affairs of pakistan here two uh foreign minister business relationship. we have wonderful people working for us. eh, between. uh, the government commission for trade, economic, scientific and technological cooperation leads it. hey minister. uh, shulginov mr. energy of the russian

federation that's uh. we have now established cooperation on projects of mutual interest. these include grain in the past year. we have delivered more than 750 thousand tons of wheat to pakistan. this year , contracts are being executed, and these are hydrocarbon supplies. this is what you specifically er, separately. uh, asked, natalya uh, here uh, i can say that uh , a tanker with russian crude oil is expected to arrive soon, uh , to pakistan a about technical specifications. e, and. uh, deal parameters. i would ask, uh, not to expect numbers from me, because we live under sanctions, and i would not like to make it easy for u. uh, western intelligence. well, yes, well, i’m looking, and the messages, which have been coming in lately, and

marked urgently. yes, on the situation in pakistan , here again is what the supreme court ruled. free the experimenter. here his commentary is given about the conditions in which he is kept there, that he does not have complete information. yes, he does not have a telephone, but he calls for fair elections in the country. and what do you think, and as far as it is possible, these calls are how bright hmm, can they be heard now through the media . uh, maybe unofficial some government channels. when there is an election in any country, and pakistan is no exception, there are people who believe that these elections are not fair, uh, and that there were fraud, so this is a normal story when, uh, the losing side, uh, demands elections and insists on that they be honest. what i think is that in pakistan, uh, the elections uh can uh and uh

be fair. e questions, when are they formed? ah, that is, uh, if you take it according to plan, that is , if you take it according to the constitution, uh, then after uh, a five-year termination. the term of parliament, and he will be this five-year term. uh, the report is coming in july, that is, there should be elections in october. here is but and brokhan and the opposition that he leads demand to hold elections earlier and this is precisely the main contradiction between the ruling coalition uh, the current one led by uh, the pakistani muslim league and the pakistan people's party there coalition, uh and the opposition at the head with the movement for the justice of the glooms. that is, this is just a question of the timing of the elections. uh, elections, quick

all in all, according to my forecast, it will still take place in the fall. they will not have early elections. here, and how honest they will be. eh, it's not for me to judge as a foreigner. i'm uh confident that pakistan has every opportunity to organize an objective and fair, uh, vote. thank you very much. and i thank you. let me remind you that russian ambassador to pakistan danila ganichek was in direct contact with us. other topics need to be evaluated. is there enough support for blockade survivors today, and what other help may veterans need about this valentina matvienko said today during a meeting of the organizing committee for the preparation and holding of the celebration of the eightieth anniversary of the complete liberation of leningrad from the fascist blockade, the speaker of the federation council called for doing everything to preserve the memory of the great patriotic war, this is not how we see such a fierce targeted attack on

the symbols of our victory deployed by the enemy in russia is demolishing monuments to soldiers , the winner is prohibited from celebrating victory day on may 9, there will be fines for relations st. george's ribbon textbooks are being rewritten stories. and, of course, our uh, sacred duty. counterweight to these attacks do your best to remember. the true events of the great patriotic war were passed on to the next generations. we turned to vladimir vladimirovich putin with a proposal to perpetuate the memory of peaceful soviet citizens who became victims of genocide by the nazi invaders . the creation of a memorial is in progress, it is gratifying that the corresponding complex will be opened in the leningrad region near

st. petersburg. there are plans to complete just in time for the eightieth anniversary of the complete liberation of leningrad from the fascist blockade. next year, blockade survivors living in other regions of russia and abroad will be invited to celebrate the eightieth anniversary of the complete liberation of leningrad from the fascist blockade next year, the governor of the northern capital alexander beglov announced this, and olga lyubimova told reporters about what planned events the plan includes 129 events, 23 activities will be carried out with this plan by the government of st. petersburg, 42 the events will be held in st. petersburg by the federal government institutions and organizations from the ministry of culture. we are compiling a whole calendar of very important concerts, events and exhibitions, together with federal museums , a large number of events are being prepared. and, of course , each of the regions, because today

year, and no one wants to carry out this earlier. production must stop. we need to understand who to sell to, let's sell now. well let's that's how it will be, it looks like uh. here right now on here's the story ninety-fourth year. it's uh, how's the mortgage auction. yes, in my opinion, it was called here, but no one wants this. naturally, yes, so here it is necessary to form the market should be, uh , an active russian retail investor, and which is already there, but there should simply be tools that are more convenient for money. there should be more and there may be more money that will eventually become investors. the organization of the eleventh package of sanctions against russia will not affect nuclear energy, the head of the foreign ministry said hungarian petersijard. according to him, hungary will not allow the nuclear industry to be included in the list of restrictions for the next package of eu countries, according to bloomberg, they began discussing sanctions on wednesday, including 35 companies from
