[000:00:00;00] the president has repeatedly said that we need to improve the level of services in the new territories, then in neighboring territories. therefore, we need to do this rigorously. and so that both the quality and volume of support are at a decent level . thank you and good luck in your work. these were footage of a meeting between mikhail mishustin and the chairman

of the social fund, sergei chirkov . today it will be hot, get everything. we are used to watching videos stopped working , install, open, watch russian channels and all movie and cartoon series educational programs and documentaries

. we welcome everyone who joined us on channel russia 24 fifth studio. now let's look at the operational situation that is developing on the fronts of the special military operation. let's look at the news

that is now appearing one way or another in the media. of course, everyone is now paying attention to how many times the donetsk people's republic was shelled the day before. 59 shells flew in. this also applies to the shelling to which on the eve of the massive shelling, which donetsk itself was subjected to on the eve, there are victims there, let us recall that one of the shells hit, uh, on a regular bus. well, here's another piece of news from the chief of the general staff of the russian armed forces inspected the forward command post of the group of troops in the zaporozhye direction. well, the news that denis pushin announced. this is control. uh, above the ticks there is a settlement of a tick. it was under artyomovsk that he passed under our side. so right now, about all this. and maybe something else that we we don’t know yet, let’s talk with the adviser in rio to the head and the donetsk people’s republic, yan , with a poisonous poison, dmitrievich welcomes you. hello. well, probably the most loud of

this news is that this is our tick. yes, klecheevka, they have been talking a lot lately. there are three settlements there that are quite important. these are ticks, like kurdyumovka, andreevka yes, and, as it were , control over them is the key to the possibility of an attack on artemovsk on bach . so the enemy does not stop striking there. that is, he attacks there, because for the loss of artyomovsk by the ukrainian regime was, of course, a grandiose fiasco, and everyone appreciated it, both the citizens of ukraine and the military personnel and their owners. as a matter of fact, from nato because, well, by and large , take artyomovsk. it was such a turning point, another turning point, in general, in the whole company. that's why the enemy is accumulating serious forces there and still does not leave e's intention to establish control over artyomovsk. uh, as for pincers and uh, there are a few

heights next to it, uh, from which you can fire and control. as a matter of fact, retreats to artyom and , in fact, that’s why they fight for her, uh, part of the heights. unfortunately , it is busy with the enemy and from there it is quite convenient for him to strike, but let's say, uh, all the enemy's attacks are now repulsed, and they are repulsed every day, that is, there are several per day. here, at the same time, the enemy is losing his extra equipment, but in fact, in the last 2 months. it has become traditional. uh, such big daily losses on the part of the enemy in this counter us, which we have been going on for 2 months already. yes exactly therefore, probably, just in the sun. now they are talking about problems with mobilization due to the fact that, uh, because of the news that comes from the front. well, if we return to the tick, and let's show on the map such a relatively small, of course, settlement right under artyomovsk. er, there is also a train station, i understand, this is just one of the highlights

. why was ticks needed? yes , of course, the railroad. this is one of the ways to supply personnel. well moving for personnel for delivery. e ammunition. e, and. as a matter of fact, any tal security. that's why everything that is connected with a piece of iron is a very important railway, transport hubs are especially important. what is? as a matter of fact, artemovskaya himself well, it’s clear, this is not the only direction, of course, now uh, where intense battles take place, where they go uh hmm daily, as you said, attempts to go on the counteroffensive there, i don’t know how to tear off the next meters. and where else, according to your observations. now it's so hot situation. yes, if i take, uh, the donetsk sector of the front, this is a coal mine to artyomovsk. well, avdiivka is still such a hot direction, we are now moving forward there. we're on

the offensive there. we are just going from three sides both in the forehead and on the flank. and in principle, history is likely to repeat itself, as was the case with artyomovsk or dar and other large settlements. uh, we 're aiming to hug him. that is, as if to take into a certain ring in a certain environment, while in the crust. eh, nothing yet. that is, we strive for it, well, in any case, we will implement our plan to the end, as for? the enemy is actually well fortified there. there is, uh, good enough, good defense in depth. there the fortified areas stretch for several kilometers. here is but under this we continue. these are ahead. uh, on the other side, mmm, as there are regular units of the armed forces, so the units are formed from uh, like the most so-called mobiks, who were driven there uh according to the ukrainian grave system eh. they often surrender. now our propaganda has begun to bring their fruits. eh, the enemy is taking advantage. well

, enemy fighters use leaflets that are distributed by leaflets that we distribute there, uh, the path from the dacha to captivity is marked. uh, a safe way to surrender. that is, how how to get in touch? how to identify yourself so that you are not mistaken for an attacker? well, many successfully use it, in particular, just yesterday. there was a case when a fighter of one of the units of ukraine, he just carried a large number of ezrk in his car, and he crossed with this full load by the way, using such a leaflet to our side, that is, he did not just go over. eh, i gave up. he brought to ours for us brought e manpads. now we will use them and the enemy will not threaten our aviation. what about this? well , they are talking to the fighter now, and uh, he made several

statements during his interrogation. he just spoke about the demoralization among the mobilized. he said that most of them did not want to fight. he confirmed yes. uh what is really a big problem - this is what u forbids the russian language is something that, in general , all russian -speaking mobilized people are really oppressed and, uh, the issues of the russian culture of the russian language and, again, the russian orthodox faith are now becoming such cornerstones, and these are the repressions against everything russian russian. they seem to bring fruit, that is, they are zelensky's regimes at the front. well, they don’t always give some kind of advantage, because for the majority they are believers who speak the russian language and russian culture, or their relatives. so, let's say this is exactly what this fighter was talking about, not only he. many prisoners talk about this, that is, well, uh, it is possible, probably, that in ukraine they are close to some kind of epiphany that this is still a fascist regime. here and

perhaps, this is, yes, its fruits. i am dmitrievich. thank you for being in direct contact with us and telling us about everything now. well, about those that can, of course, not be told about everything. naturally. we can talk live, well, about all the features of the moment in which the special military operation is now. jan gagin advisor to the head of the donetsk people's republic in rio was in touch with us. here is the main news confirmed, that is, ticks in released. and now let's see what 's going on in the zaporizhia direction with us in touch special correspondent of the battalions of alania and ossetia georgy monsorov, my colleagues, georgy we welcome you. hello here. uh, nam is now dmitrich, gagin. e, said that there was another attempt in the zaporizhia direction of the enemy to go on the offensive. tell me more, please. actually in the first place. i i would like to say, cautiously suggest that everything is starting to slowly run out of steam the last week the intensity has decreased. their. attacks closer to vasilyevka

, where the network storm battalion is working, literally for a week our guys were able to rest a little, nevertheless, information comes that it is opposite, and the formation is already underway. and what races of combined brigades from fresh reserves, which they pulled up from those that remained after past assaults, but nevertheless. uh, hostilities were intensified in the central part of the zaporizhzhya front. this is the village to work for the last 3 days. there were very intense battles going on. sozh was burned several dozen units of military equipment and now the last day. as far as i know, we can already say now that our positions at work have been rotated, guys who have been working for the last 3 days. there they poured , you can say, e at the moment completed their combat mission and went on vacation. this is good news, and fighting continues at the junction of donetsk and zaporozhye regions.

actions in the region of the bremen salient. but in principle, the situation at the front is difficult, but stable. she has probably been staying for the last 3 weeks, but again, i would like to say carefully, carefully, we discussed this with the fighters with the commanders. it literally starts to run out of steam at night. this, of course, cannot but rejoice. and this is exactly what it manifests itself in, that is, in the intensity of shelling at a intensity, just here are attempts to go on the offensive in the intensity of assaults. first, the most important thing is what the prisoners say, which get to our guys from the zaporozhye direction. hmm, but the moral component of these assaults. she, of course, but completely dropped, so to speak, to the floor, but they don’t want to storm all of our positions, because to storm the position from which your comrades-in-arms, so to speak, break for a month.

and this is scary, this is unrealistic, and plus, of course, the amount of burned equipment is a plus. they understand that the mm command saves western equipment, while not saving lives at all, for example, mobilized fighters on their own, and, accordingly it all adds up to one big picture. and again, it cannot but rejoice us here, because after a month and a half of such a serious tough fight, of course, it pleases when the enemy starts to surrender hmm and when he feels that he even trembled a little. yes, it’s interesting here, what do you remember quite recently. uh, the president talked about the fact that, uh, again , from the words, probably, representatives of the ministry of defense, who reported to him that in the armed forces of ukraine there is even a certain fear of using this western technique due to the fact that it becomes a priority target. well, we know that monetary rewards, in principle,

have been introduced for all sorts of challenges and leopards, but according to your recent data. how many of them really hit, either under, uh, our unmanned aerial vehicles, or just got into a fight. well, look at the two sectors of the front, where it works, our battalion of the storm of the net leads. ah, the task of reconnaissance of the battalion, the liner was destroyed about 3 dozen units of precisely e, western heavy armor technology. we are not talking about armored vehicles or american french wheeled tanks. yes, such funny french. yes, and tanks, in principle, e life and battle showed us that cornets or tours are completely unimportant for a rocket. what kind of production of early technology is in front of him? everything burns beautifully and really, when our guys see western technology in the sight. yes, indeed, there, uh, it starts to work

. all that, maybe, and this, uh, is not due to the fact that they pay remuneration. hmm it seems to me that the memory of the blood begins work at some point many aspects. still agree here. there are a lot of aspects, but they all add up, georgiy, thank you for telling us a lot of interesting things about how the special military operation in the zaporozhye direction is now going on . well, now let's move on to a topic that, uh, started last week. or rather, it began a long time ago. it began for us last week, when e passed forum russia africa here at the same time. we have received news that in west african side nigga had a military coup. they removed the presidency. mm, power. moved to the military. uh, the president is detained with him. everything seems to be in order. it seems to be, because, accordingly, we receive news. e, from there, too, quite

irregularly, and they come e from different e. well, i don't know, just these sources before. we'll shoot somehow not particularly encountered. well, that's exactly what's happening now, where uh-huh uh, where is this state nigga, there stands here, in fact, also u bring this. eh, an interesting circumstance as an example. today the news was of this nature. uh, transitional government, burkina faso and malia are neighboring countries warn any military intervention against niger will be tantamount to a declaration of war against burkina faso and malia, what is burkina faso and pray. these are the countries that are part of this union. yes, this is called the ecowool union with the economic community of west african states, which e threatened that if the power is not returned to the nigel president. uh, there you can go up to an armed conflict. now, if , accordingly, this conflict occurs, then the above-mentioned state has already been threatened. how could this end? what is this state? here, as a matter of fact,

uh, the economic community of evas. uh, here is this list and we see the burkina style guinea moth. these are the states that they said to me. uh, what they don't like. this is the pressure now from this economic association - these are countries that have suspended membership in this organization. due to the military coup, a strange relationship with us. in touch with the chairman of the board of the union african business initiative. natalya zaiser natalya gerbertovna. we greet you. you know, before that, i didn’t really specialize, of course, in this region, but here a logical relationship can be traced. e. please tell me, i understood it correctly. well you mean the logical relationship between what and what, because good logical the relationship between economic a and the overthrow of power in nigeria is not only in nigga.

look, here are the countries that are now saying that if the rest of the countries of this economic community go to war, then they will. uh, respectively, they declare war on them, they will already perceive it as a declaration of war. these are all countries in which a military coup took place one way or another, then. uh, here in the twenty-second year in the year 21, what do you bring them together. look, well, i would not have been in touch with the forums or there myself russia africa which took place recently. rather, it is a temporary connection. that's because the general political situation, as we see it , really does not contribute to the strengthening of statehood in african countries, but rather the opposite, and uh, here is the chain reaction that is taking place. how are you right. noticed this is burkina faso, this is mali, this is sudan , ah. yes, respectively, this is niger now and maybe this is not the end yet, but it is just happening, due to the fact that, on the one

hand, a course has been taken towards some kind of self-determination in african states, because we we understand that the advent of new power in these states is, in fact, an attempt to get out of some kind of patronage and pressure, e, of the former western metropolises. accordingly, it is still strong there. yes, it’s clear that in nigeria it’s france. well, in west africa it’s, in principle, france, because it is such a large part of the so-called francophone africa. well, uh, you probably know, right? the only thing is probably the last few years. eh, this influence, of course, is greatly weakening, but in fact it started even from time. kovi yes and it let's just say, it probably coincided, that is, covid was not the first reason for this situation, but one way or another, when the redistribution of financial flows began, and we perfectly understand that africans hmm are still dependent on external

western donors, then, accordingly, when these financial redistributions began, and the so-called volume of e-aid, uh, decreased. e. currency, which turned out to be an african state. here, in fact, from that moment, including , probably, some kind of relaxation began. of this influence, but naturally. this is not the only fact. this happened. in principle , in force everything is more. e, interaction with africa china india turkey and russia natalia herbert. here we are on the example of prayer a few years ago, when there in what year, or at two in the twenty-first, in my opinion , there was also a military coup. and then it was quite tough. well , at least on the reaction of the french president ah, and in general the french leadership, who promised heavenly punishment there, well, or almost there not a military invasion. but, uh, now i understand that this rhetoric has also subsided. yes, that is, france has calmed down about the fact that

some kind of self-determination is now beginning there. well , at first it was announced even in relation to the niger just a few days ago that france would give a decisive military rebuff to such a situation. is very similar. yes, yes, but then literally today, in my opinion, the news has already passed that france will evacuate its diplomatic corps from niger. that's it there is indeed rhetoric changing and rhetoric. probably rather more so it looks quiet. and i think that the african states are now in a position where france will not be ready for an open confrontation with them. this is unprofitable, especially since, as i said, against the backdrop of the strengthening of the dominant positions of other asian authors. to, uh, turkey, russia, and so on, but europe probably doesn’t want to look like, let’s say, an open, imposing confrontational camp. well, at least it seems to me that it softens them a little.

rhetoric. although she is certainly still dependent, because we understand very well that she is a strong link in africa, the usa west, she works , she is strong natalya gerbertovna. я вот попробую, вернее рискну предположить да относительно экономического сообщества западноафриканских государств, которые сейчас тоже угрожает государству ниггер. uh, bring back the president, or we're against you. now let's go to war. it's just more like that. this is the voice of the colonialists. yes, that is, the united states plus, france not quite the fact is that the destabilization of the situation in neighboring countries is also not beneficial for africans africa , and so it suffers quite seriously from the general geopolitical situation and from all, let's say, force majeure circumstances, speaking of legal language over the past 4 years there, therefore, for them, any turbulence, which is already lacking. it seriously affects, in principle, their domestic economic domestic political

situation for them. eh, here, such a source of ignition from the neighbors, it is not acceptable now, so this is not only. well, i hardly i wouldn’t personally discount the decision of the africans themselves and their voice, so to speak, and not just the voices of the former colonialists, who are partly trying to control these processes from them. yes, that is, on the one hand. these are the former colonizers, who, well, as i understand it, the e student who was displaced after all. uh, well, you can say about the western one, there was a comrade. well, there was, yes, and, accordingly , this one, these military comrades who have now taken power into their own hands there. uh, well, it's clear what they reflect, for sure, certain interests of the population. that is , here everything will still be determined by some such internal girian dialogues. this is important. and now the stage, what it will be and how

long it will drag on. you and i perfectly see the situation not in west africa, but in the same sudan, yes, uh, which is also trying in some way. hmm, maybe some kind of self-determination. this is not happening yet. unfortunately, there are african processes inside. they are quite long, and the prime minister is not only the neighboring states of africa or neighboring germans in mind, therefore, how quickly will the decision take place and how quickly will the country return, really to some right? statehood - time will tell, but we hope that nevertheless , a stable one will really be acquired, no matter how the state definition of niger and the country will not be in that house and, so to speak, e turbulence, in which many countries are this day. yes, at the same time , people there have something to compare. yes, that is, there are some many african countries, even

from this region, their economic situation is absolutely deplorable, some are better, some are worse, but, as i understand it, people look at their neighbors, including. of course, in general , a lot of internal economic processes are taking place inside the continent right now, indeed, some states are coming forward. and at the same time, the desire for growth remains gdp is growing. european elisiatism, but one way or another , africa is developing very dynamically. and there is an absolute goal to achieve serious economic indicators in strategies 20-63, which was adopted by the african union, therefore, of course, the population. well, at least the population, which really, but has the prerequisites for development, because we are well aware that there is a population of africa that is below the poverty line. yes , but one way or another, they certainly look at what dynamics exist in states.

what e in those, including those who have gone upheavals and in those that are sufficiently stable in relativity. thank you very much for answering our questions natalya sizer. the chairman of the board of the union african business initiative was in touch with us.

thank you for your attention. dear friends, viewers of the russia 24 channel , i am pleased to invite you to watch reruns of our programs while we are on
