russia africa and now we continue the interview with the head of roskosmos yuri borisov. the total revenue from space services , according to consulting agencies, is about 20 billion dollars a year, which is already impressive figures. in the twenty-third year, african countries have a space constellation of about 50 satellites, by the way, and russia has made a contribution here. as you know, last year we launched an angasat patient satellite for angola. yes, and we are working with other countries. well, of course, they are still lagging behind in terms of technological production, but very active. uh, develop. they interact with all the leading space agencies in the world. they work from europe and america and certainly with us with

everyone who e. so it helps them in the development of new ones, that is, this is a competitive market. yes. yes , they are very actively working on the american continent, they represent very actively. the range of services, and i just returned from south africa, where there was a meeting, the head of the space agencies of the brix countries, china spoke, well , along with our initiatives, so to speak, with a lot of proposals, he expressed happiness, u since the age of 21, we have been conducting an experiment within the framework of brix on remote sensing of the earth. that is, a certain kind of region of the brix countries was chosen . where information was collected for a long time in order to monitor the situation, it means that chinese satellites provided this information content, russian satellites in particular the cone and,

of course, the experiment will be assessed as positive and agreed to develop it further, then there is to deepen the information content and efficiency of obtaining information, the demand for space services is real and there is something about the possibility of creation. let's say a satellite and buildings, or let's say a launch, independent into space, of course, still has to work, but a lot of work will have to be done today. they are working on small nanosatellites for merchants, which have a rather limited information content, but they are growing very quickly , they raise the issue of guaranteed and independent access to space from the territory of the african continent. and this, perhaps in the short term, you know, it is possible there are two circumstances, firstly, the demand for launch services. the next decades are predicted to be very high. this is simply due to such a galloping pace of creation

on master's groups. all this needs to be launched, so the demand for services is growing, and the geographical position of the african continent was just a kakuvator gives a certain kind of advantages and a wide territory, which lies just on the equator for space. it is these two circumstances that stimulate and force , uh, a number of african countries to think in this direction. i may even give some kind of secret. we are with a certain kind of proposals. so, we are trying to meet this demand. yes, but you won’t say, with which countries you are now here, well, it’s clear those that are located on the equator. it’s clear. yes, these are countries that are close to the equator, which have fields falling, mainly into the ocean, so as not to pose a security threat unconditionally. you know, i could name them, but, probably, one cannot admire the events until we reach some kind of, uh, concrete commitments and negotiations. we don't care let's give a hint, yes, to our viewers who

will open the map there now, they will see where the equator will look. what countries are located there, except for equatorial guinea and. er, accordingly, there are certain , probably, economic preconditions for it to be there, and those countries that are located there on the equator can, probably, all the same. on the fingers of one hand, count those that just fit the indicated ones, yes or close to it, and here's one more question for me. seems important. this is personnel potential directly on the african continent, people who will work in this area, uh, who can potentially get in this area of ​​​​work, if , accordingly, this area will receive proper development, if and when, perhaps, it’s worth saying that, when we, uh, are trying discuss development directions with them. we try to offer our african colleagues comprehensive solutions. they are associated with the implementation of one direction or another. basically. is it a satellite building or is it organizing launch services, or is it participating

in a manned program or scientific space we always touch upon the issue of personnel training, which, of course , is the most pressing issue for us. a wide network of russian universities is capable of training and is training specialists for african. today, the president said that what would a representative office of all our largest universities appear in african countries should appear there, yes, including specialized universities that train space specialists . today we have colleagues from mine from the bauman university of moscow the state university of samara university is actively working with african countries. that is, we can say that not only the first uh, the first cosmonaut, uh, from some african country of astronautics, may soon appear. why not a board, isyuar? just came out of the proposal that we have prepared and launched two cosmonauts, there are already applicants,

applicants. there is a request. and you are considering, respectively, you need to choose yerevan thank you very much for being with us and on our site in russia 24 large good luck to you. thank you, and now let's get back to the president's statements in st. petersburg on the sidelines of the russia africa forum. last day , many experts in the west are only talking about the beginning of the decisive stage of the ukrainian counteroffensive, or allegedly. it has already begun to him everything that was before this flower. we'll show you right now. do you record any attempts to intensify hostilities by ukraine, this is really, really the final stage and in general, how do you assess the situation now at the front and let me ask you a clarifying question about the losses on both sides, from the russian ukrainian one, you can sound out the data at the moment. we have already said that this is confirmed by real actions in the contact zone. the so -called counter-offensive of a large- scale counter-offensive began on

june 4 this year. this is an obvious fact, and this is evidenced by the use of the so-called strategic reserves, e . activated and uh, in a significant way, but the main ones not for battle, the collision took place in the direction, as they say in the west , on the main main attack in the zaporozhye direction in the zone of responsibility, yesterday 's serious hostilities in the zone of responsibility, but the 810th brigade of the marine corps of the black sea fleet and the 71st regiment , and the 42nd division of the 58th army of the southern military district, without any exaggeration, i can say that our

soldiers and officers demonstrated the best examples of mass heroism. enemy used a large number, and a large number of armored vehicles. this is 50 units. of these, uh, 39 units, including 26 tanks and 13 armored vehicles, were destroyed. moreover, 60% were destroyed by the forces of the personnel above the names of the units, and 40%, and by the pilots of combat aviation. uh, today, on my instructions , right in the war zone, our guys will be awarded state awards. and i have already instructed you from the ministry of defense to prepare a proposal for the awarding of honorary titles by this unit. uh, none of the sites had. all attempts

the counter-offensive stopped the enemy with heavy losses trying to pick up the abandoned equipment of the wounded and the body of the dead, which they left yesterday on the battlefield. losses is it possible to voice uh, yes, in addition to military equipment, of course, the enemy has very large losses, uh, personnel over 200 people, unfortunately, uh, we did not do without losses, but the difference is colossal at times more than 10 times for there are fewer of us than, but i repeat once again and i want to emphasize everything that happened

during the past 24 hours. this is a prime example mass heroism of our soldiers, and today the russian ministry of defense published footage of the destruction of ukrainian armored vehicles. well, she was spotted by drone operators when the armored groups attempted to attack the russian positions of the tank and several western-made bmps were hit by buzzing ammunition. russian troops repelled new attacks by the armed forces in the donetsk red liman and south donetsk directions , the ministry of defense announced this, the most active hostilities took place on the territory of the donetsk people's republic, where the enemy is more attempted an offensive a dozen times, but they were all repulsed. one attack of the enemy was repelled on the krasnaya limansky and yuzhno-donetsk directions in the zaporozhye direction after the failure of the offensive under work, but the enemy did not

take active actions the ministry of defense also commented on the missile strikes on the territory of ukraine by the armed forces of the russian federation, concentrated strikes were carried out with long-range precision weapons air and sea-based rocks as a control point and deployment of armed forces of ukraine with racing shops and places of storage of unmanned boats, as well as missiles , weapons and military equipment received from european countries and the united states, all designated objects are struck. m turnover of educational and other projects between russia and african countries, our channel was told by the president of the chamber of commerce and industry sergei well now about the prospects in general and cooperation between russia and

the entire african continent, we will talk with the president of the chamber of commerce and industry sergey katrin sergey nikolaevich hello, how do you rate these prospects? something has already been done. today, for example, to do or according to the results was the same in 2019 by yourself. yes, now, probably, it is already possible to talk about some results. can. i think that today we can already say that we have managed to increase our presence in the african continent well , first of all, of course, in terms of trade turnover, and the past year and the first half of this year shows that we have growth and growth is quite serious, although our common presence, of course, is not yet very great. let's just say it objectively. it's somewhere around 2.5%, but that 's, well, i think, not more than ten percent of what the african continent expects from russia in terms of what they can claim in order to acquire with russia to do. further, well, first of all, i think that everyone has noticed that

our african colleagues at all levels today are sure to emphasize equality in dialogue. and this is extremely important for them. i understand that after various dialogues, including in the united states and other countries of their they are very worried about how much in general, so to speak, these relations will be built on an equal footing. well, it seems to me that this is to a lesser extent, yes, well, they have some kind of history yes, but it seems to me that this applies to a lesser extent to russia, because russia has never had any colonies there , moreover, we helped them free themselves from colonialism, but nevertheless, this is such a factor that they emphasize, and i think not in vain from the point of view of general approaches to building foreign economic and foreign policy ties on the globe in general. this first second i want to say that we have, of course, today, in addition to our traditional presence. well, we have somewhere around 20 large companies that traditionally operate in the african market and they have the opportunity to expand further, this is rosneft, e-e gazprom and lukoil and

transmashholding with railways, so to speak, with their capabilities to produce rostgeology there in egypt , which is working for us today, and lately, by the way, speaking, just there in sudan a number of other companies, that is, we have a movement in comparison. if we talk about the nineteenth year, we have really made progress here, but today i think that we just talked about it, including reports and the president spoke about this, there are quite a few areas that, well, can probably be conditionally attributed to this connection of services . yes, if we are talking about the review of the field of education, the most serious issue for the african continent. uh, one, well thanks, one and a half billion of the population 60% is under 25 years old. it is a continent with a growing population young population, which of course, demanded training. well , of course, the main direction for them today is in. probably, the preparation of medicine is something that, in general, we were ready to give.

well, today they are not only looking at how they will study in the russian federation. they are studying and we are increasing the number today, in my opinion, 27,000 are increasing the number of students from these countries, but they are also looking at how we we can open branches. what kind of network university can we do so that they have there it is to develop, so to speak, education, the second. well, medicine, of course, is an extremely important topic for the african continent with all sorts of problems, so to speak, that exist, well, all of the continent, and of course, not only personnel are needed, but also the technologies that we have. uh, the opportunities that our russian medicine has. still, in this regard, we have advanced quite far, and not only in terms of technology and our e- doctoral scientists. well, from the point of view of the production of medical equipment, it is necessary to say that we have built up quite serious competencies here, too. and i think that the african continent, so to speak, is quite seriously

interested in this regard and there is an opportunity to increase it. well, a very serious topic and it is in demand is the digitalization of the african continent, which rests on not being connected to internet resources. yes, it says to me in quantity is not enough in many countries , the internet is not enough in many countries. and, of course, technology. we have a company that is here, uh, already known in yandex here. i mean in the african continent yes, this is yandex and kaspersky, so to speak, far away. he, therefore, there are those companies that are famous. and, of course, here at the state level, from the point of view of public administration, the digitalization of public administration is taking place today, in general, at all levels. this is the provision of services. uh, by the population state. it is natural for medicine in all technologies, that is why the spectrum is so wide. well, it seems to me that these are already modern things directions. they are in great demand today from

the other side, and we are ready to promote this, yes, that is, they also want such a full-scale pragmatic interaction with us. and we want, that is, there is such a two-way street here. yes, there is as much convergence of views on this process. nikolayevich thank you during the year of the grain deal, about 33 million tons of cargo came from ukraine, while more than 70% went to rich countries, and less went to the poor side of africa. uh, a million tons of cargo, such a statement today in st. petersburg at the economic and humanitarian forum. russia africa made vladimir putin he took part in the plenary session. a paradoxical picture is emerging. on the one hand, the west is obstructing the supply of our grain and fertilizers, and on the other.

i will say directly hypocritically accusing us of the current crisis situation in the world food market from ukraine, 32 and 80 million tons were exported to society, of which more than 70% of the goods, dear friends , were ceded to the side with high and above average income, including and above all i have v mind the european union then. how swindled countries such as somalia and a number of others had to beg attention for less than three percent of the total obstruction of our fertilizer on mineral fertilizer needy countries out of two hundred and six. thousand tons of such fertilizers blocked in european ports managed to ship only two batches. the rest

remained in the hands of the europeans. and this, despite the fact that it was a purely humanitarian action, on which no sanctions should, in principle, apply. vladimir putin said that russia is capable of replacing ukrainian grain for african countries, including absolutely free of charge, we will be ready to provide burkina to the front of the central african republic free of charge in the next three to four months. 50.000 tons of grain is provided and free delivery of these products to consumers of the african union, the president of the camoros

azalea sumani, called on russia and ukraine to peace. he believes that resolving the situation will save people suffering from a food crisis. a ferry today it is necessary to fight for a sustainable peace between russia and ukraine, and this is the message that the african union is delivering today with this idea. we went to see president zelensky in kiev. we appeal to russian president mr. putin, we are sure that our call for peace will be heard, as it is necessary for humanity today. i again call for a peaceful existence between russia and ukraine between fraternal neighbors. and now

, president of the russian union of rectors of moscow state university rector viktor sadovnichy will answer our questions within the framework of the russia africa forum i give the word give goats. indeed viktor sadovich. so, hello culinary, goodbye. vladimir putin said that it is necessary to open branches of our russian universities in african countries. is the british club working in this direction at moscow state university and there was a discussion of this issue at this club. three weeks ago , the american government did not gather in the moscow region. we agreed with a number, general discussion of those issues in general branches. we have seven - these are ours. uh, properties profile. we have very strong subsidiaries in almost all countries. here are the countries

of the former union, but we are thinking about opening branches in the arab countries. so in the near future we will have to wait for the news, because yes, prepare to be such and such as the quality of the diploma of the moscow region. you also suggested creating an association of universities in russia and africa in which direction cooperation will go, we agreed to create work in progress in the near future this association will be created mainly from the director to state or e. the worker's education system is our a challenge to exchange. uh , the teachers of the increase were touching the teaching of students and, of course, a very important issue of language is to expand the range of command languages ​​offered to the school in some moscow emitters of american languages. they accepted this proposal, so it is necessary on

all fronts of our position of friendship with africans. and i think that we are on this path . and now today the president says almost everything exactly, the higher than himself. distinguish and test our cooperation is now growing with strange africa, trade is also growing in his program. vladimir putin wrote in his article that new representative offices of trade missions would be opened, but at the same time africanists were certified africanists. this is still such a rather piece goods very rare specialists, is it not necessary to expand the training program at a time when it was necessary to get to know each other, that is, it was more a question of the culture of such a spiritual life and so on 300 specialists. exactly like this who worked in this series, but now the economy. uh, now the exchange of goods and, of course, you need a program to do. well, they

are, but we are ready to discuss special streams for training specialists. well , in order to better understand each other, if we talk about the training of african students in russia in russian universities. is it necessary to expand the programs here and here was the figure that 34,000 african students. now there is a training program on the one hand, a lot compared to the soviet union, it seems that it is not enough expand the point is that e is our education. it will never be superfluous for this specialist who will graduate from some university in russia and go to work. he will know the language will know the culture of the economy. i think we are at the beginning of the road. we need

to expand cooperation programs, which we are starting in all areas for schoolchildren, so that just about russian schools on the african continent, our school can study its prepyat language and, possibly , schools will be opened in african countries. and we would like it, which the russians would study, to us we need to understand each other. this is the main language. this is the main thing is communication. well, actually, again, i repeat. this is the future viktor antonovich thank you very much for the interview. we will expect, of course, that the training of specialists in africa will increase and there will be more specialists at the same time and the quality will be maintained at the same time all the potential and think that today's forums are the president's speeches and so on. we

will acquire. thanks a lot. thank you very much for the interview alexander, pass the floor to you and remind you that we talked live with rector of the moscow state university named after lomonosov viktor yes, thank you daria kozlova talked to the director of moscow state university viktor according to updated information , 4 people were killed, 10 were injured, two were not injured in a helicopter crash in the altai republic, there were a total of 16 people on board, as specified by the ministry of emergency situations when entering the mi-8 landing was touched by a power pole with a tail rotor. because of what the helicopter spun, and it rolled over and the company's helicopter caught fire, altai air operated a private tourist
