what about the planned social measures support, the minister said. next year the capital will be 630,000 rubles for the first child. for the second child, if the family did not receive maternity capital for the first, 833,000 rubles. four, more than 4 million families will use it, and the necessary resources, 1.6 three rubles in the budget, more than 130 billion in the three-year period, an accelerated increase in the minimum amount of labor is provided. 18.5% next year from january 1 this figure increases. money for state employees is taken into account. in total, the budget provides 11.2 rubles for the fulfillment of social obligations, this is more 30% of all budget spending. and another important emphasis in the report of the head of the ministry of finance: all social obligations are provided with

funding. as for another absolute priority, it is strengthening the country's defense capability. 10.8 rubles are provided for these expenses. and how much is this in terms of all budget expenses? these are the figures announced by minister anton syulanov. next year, state resources are concentrated to achieve the main goal. our victory, the resources planned for the twenty-fourth year have been determined together with departmental security forces , they allow us to solve tasks set within the framework of a special military operation, including the supply of weapons, military equipment, logistics and social support for military personnel. the total amount of spending on national defense next year will be almost... we are also talking

about the technical re-equipment of the country's military-industrial complex and at the same time, as the government emphasizes, all social obligations will be fulfilled in full, i drew attention to this today chairman of the state duma vyacheslav volodin also paid attention during the discussion. the most important thing is to ensure social obligations, of which there will be more. set, we must solve them, reflecting them in the budget, this is what people care about, everyone at that, and then we will move on to considering support for sectors of the economy, a specific region, and in the second reading we will focus on this, but still, in order to in the situation with sanctions, we will not only survive, but become stronger in our future, we are supported by this budget, which you submitted today on behalf of the government can we do this?

it is the concentration of resources in these three areas, which were defined by vyacheslav viktorovich, this is defense and security, this is a social obligation and the technological development of the country, these are our main priorities, which are reflected in the draft financial plan for the next 3 years and are provided with the necessary funding. the main sources of financing the budget deficit in the next 3 years are government internal borrowings, and well, in 2024, these are funds from the national welfare fund. 6.5 hours are allotted for discussion of the country’s main financial document here in the state duma, and the discussion is currently underway. yes, thank you, from the state duma, my colleague, maria kudryavtseva, was in touch with us. russia is a country of which we are proud, we are proud to bring light and warmth throughout the world, we look forward with pride, paving new paths in the oceans and overcoming gravity. we are proud of our successes, but

we never rest on our laurels. achievements of our country, come to exhibition forum russia. more than 160,000 applications have already been received to participate in the world youth festival, this was announced by first deputy, head of the presidential administration sergei kiriyenko at the congress of the festival council. it itself will be held in sirius from march 1 to 7, with our correspondent maria valieva in touch with us from there. mash, greetings. how do foreigners prepare for the international festival? who is even going to come? yes, dima, greetings, foreigners are now very actively preparing for the festival, now in the hall

there is a council, they are discussing an educational and tourism program, which may be interesting for foreigners who are coming to russia for the first time, now guys, representatives of national preparatory committees have come here to vdnkh, and they are now discussing how many participants there will be from a particular country, we succeeded talk to some foreigners who are here, they are in a great mood , they happily came to russia again , some of them came for the first time, others have come already, well, probably for the third time or even on the fourth, they had already walked around vdnkh, they were not embarrassed by our such a harsh cold autumn, they are glad that they will soon come to russia in 2024 for the festival and are looking forward to it. it seems to me that russia is a pioneer in holding youth festivals. we come from a latin american country and we have a great opportunity to take part in this international festival, meet young people from other countries and discuss with

them many global projects, for example, climate change issues. russia is very an attractive country, i think that this festival is a great opportunity to open the door to the big world, communicate with foreign people and discuss many projects, for example, how to give impetus to the development of small settlements, speaking about uzbekistan, this is a 30-year border, for me the youth - this is unlimited time, because it is much more important that the soul is young, we are now working on how to come to russia next year, we are accepting applications, well , as for age, by the way , of course, that at 35, people have a soul young and 18, but this year, next year , teenagers from 14 to 18 years old will also come to the festival, perhaps

the same guys will also come from other countries, now according to plan. 500 from russia and 500 from other countries of the world, and of course it’s good that today we already have more than 160,000 applications received from more than 180 countries of the world, and accepting applications continues, of course, the main goal of the world festival is an opportunity for young people from... almost all countries of the world could gather on one platform, discuss issues of interest, and here, of course, the task is for every person to find their place, find like-minded people, find opportunities for development and moving forward,

young people from western countries will be happy to accept, for example, citizens of great britain, the united states and france have already sent their applications for participation in . the only difficulty in these countries is that there are no national preparatory committees, but various public organizations help them come to russia. colleagues who came from 130 countries today - this is just representatives of national preparatory committees, which are engaged in the selection of those very young guys who will go from foreign countries to participate in the world championship. today, indeed , many agreements were signed; these are legal documents establishing relationships between youth and children's organizations of the countries participating in the world youth festival and which provide the opportunity for further cooperation. the world youth festival will be held in sochi from march 1st to march 7th, this is the first main stage, the second

the regional one will start on the eighth, then 2,000 participants will be able to travel through different regions of russia and visit 30 constituent entities of the russian federation. dima. yes, mash, thank you, my colleague maria valieva was in direct contact with us. russia is ready to talk with the west on european security, sergei lavrov said, today at an international conference in minsk, attended by the heads of the foreign ministry and representatives of thirty states, sco and csto structures, from the belarusian capital, reports anastasia sokhovskaya. natocentric model world order has brought this very world to the brink of disaster, and western aggression against russia is only part of their crusade. this is a quote from the speech of the russian minister. foreign affairs of the united states is purposefully escalating the situation in the asia-pacific region, they are pursuing a destructive policy in central asia and the south caucasus, they have set the middle east on fire and, by the way, it is

russia that is advocating for a cessation of hostilities in the palestinian-israeli conflict. the geopolitical alignment is changing and not in benefit the west, and russia is confident that now , right now, a new , fairer world architecture is being formed, but countries, of course, still have to do titanic work in this direction, said sergei lavrov. russia is indeed ready for a dialogue with the west on this topic, but the prospects for such a conversation are still vague. as for the attitude of our western neighbors on the eurasian continent to this prospect, well, so far they are obviously completely, practically most of them overwhelming, are completely subordinate to washington, and today we do not see any prospects for a meaningful conversation with the vast majority of these countries. they are not visible, but in principle, i want to emphasize this again, we are always ready to work together if our western neighbors on the continent find

the strength to become independent, but the west itself has destroyed the system of confidence-building measures and arms control in europe , - said sergei lavrov, the states withdrew from the treaties on open skies, on missile defense, on the prohibition short-medium-range missiles, and russia is forced to respond accordingly. increased strategic risks are created due to the forward deployment of american nuclear weapons in a number of european countries and the implementation of so-called joint nuclear missions. this has an extremely destabilizing charge against the backdrop of a general increase in threats from nato , forcing us to resort to compensating measures. on the sidelines before the start of the conference , sergei lavrov had a conversation, as they say , on his feet with his hungarian colleague, in the hall peter szjart for his speech at the with gratitude for the invitation, although he said that he could once again be subjected to harsh criticism for coming to belarus, but budapest does not want to be hostage to the destructive policies of the european union, and the hungarians

name two conditions for peace in europe, these are two conditions for security in europe, this is peace in ukraine and dialogue between east and west. now in europe we pay four times more for gas than in the united states. we pay three times more for electricity than people in china. difficult to understand how european the economy can be competitive in such conditions, we look at the safe supply of energy resources as a matter of more everyday, practical than political, duty and responsibility of the hungarian government to guarantee safe energy supplies to the country, and since this is physically impossible without russian sources , we will continue. however, thanks to nato’s efforts, even the osce has become a marginal platform; by the way, martin sajdik is present here, who for several years oversaw the osce, minsk

negotiations on ukraine here in the belarusian capital, he literally walked away from questions from journalists, but there are actually about 300 experts present here, representing three dozen countries of international organizations, and sergei lavrov has also already had a meeting with president of belarus alexander lukashenko, so we are waiting for more statements. i would call the relationship between russia and belarus unique. the current situation is testing in many ways the strength and consistency of our relations, which have been formed over many years. once upon a time i i started a long time ago on a twenty-seed vilaz, this 220 dong. we will have an update of 170 units. the name was taken exactly as the friendship between minsk and nizhny novgorod. we can focus on cooperation between two countries. i think we will

only become stronger from this. in russia they will begin to produce stones for curling, as it turns out, this is a rare, very weighty and expensive sports equipment that was made only in canada, and one set costs about 2 million rubles. now a suitable breed has been found in karelia, all the details are in the material by alexander kokorin. today we are sending the first prototype for polishing, it is possible to make stones for curling, karelia, there are deposits suitable for the properties of the rock, and production facilities where pitkeran granite can be brought to the desired shape, contributions to the development of a new production for the republic have been made by petrgu engineers. thank you very much to petrozavodsk state university, which helped us

develop a program and drawings in their engineering center. so we were able to present our stone, which was made from karelian, for testing granite, there are small shortcomings, but we must deal with this in a short time, the potential customer is the curling federation in st. petersburg and the leningrad region, it needs about a thousand stones, at the federal level they plan to make this sport mass, but there is a difficulty, stones for curling is made in canada from the scottish border. due to sanctions, importing them has become problematic, and one set of 16 pieces costs 2 million rubles. karelian craftsmen are ready to resolve this issue; a prototype, which has already been sent for testing, were able to turn it in petrozavodsk on a cnc machine. the task is certainly difficult, and the main task was, we had difficulty in translating a two-dimensional drawing into a three-dimensional model, and then into machine code understandable for the machine. curling is a precise game , so it is important to maintain the correct geometry

of the projectile. especially the center of mass. the main nuance in making stones for curling lies in accuracy; all stones from the set must be the same size and the same weight, if at least one does not match, it is not playable recognize the entire set. the manufactured sample turned out well, the stone processors believe, and each subsequent one is confident that it will be even better. experts are ready to put the stones into mass production, and they promise that they will be half the price of their foreign counterparts.

and now let's start with a statement issued by the ministry of defense, the russian mik-31 fighter did not allow a violation of the russian state border with a norwegian air force r8a poseidon aircraft in the sky over the barints sea. and this is how the military department added, when approaching when the foreign fighter plane turned away from the russian state border, the mik-31 returned safely to its home airfield. but now to other news. territory from
