headed to kasar alwatan, the palace of nations. at this time, the sky above the city was painted in the colors of the russian flag, and artillery salvoes accompanied the motorcade. this reception certainly corresponds to the level of relations between the countries, as the head of the russian state noted at the beginning of negotiations with mohammed benzayed alnahayan; today they are at an unprecedented high level. our relations, thanks to your position, have reached an unprecedented high level. indeed, the united arab emirates is russia’s main trading partner in the arab world. last year, trade increased by 67.7%. this year, i think, there will be even more. we cooperate in the international arena; the united arab emirates makes a huge contribution to stabilizing the situation in the world, being a non-permanent member of the security council. of course, we will discuss with you

the situation in the hottest spots, first of all, of course, in the arab-palestinian-israeli conflict, and i will certainly inform you about the situation in the sphere of the ukrainian crisis. my dear friend, vladimir putin, greeted his colleague, the president of the oa, with precisely these words, who noted that the same one. relations between moscow and abu dhabi have been achieved thanks to the personal active role of the russian president, and joint work is only gaining momentum. relations between russia and the united arab emirates are historical in nature; i would like to say that the united arab emirates is russia’s largest trading partner in the middle east and the gulf region. investor in

the russian economy, investments in the oil sector have grown by 103% over the past year. and i would also like to separately note the unprecedented leap, which indicates the special nature of the relations between our countries. energy, infrastructure, advanced technologies, this is not a complete list of industries in which moscow and abu dhabi are developing cooperation. it is obvious that continuation of cooperation will also be discussed at the negotiations, albeit joint... documents based on the results of the negotiations are not planned to be signed, he spoke about this press secretary of the russian president. dmitry peskov also said that during the flight of air force one before landing in the capital of the united arab emirates, the head of state was accompanied by four su-35-s fighters of the russian aerospace forces. they carried standard weapons of various classes, the flight took off from the operational airfield in difficult weather conditions with strong and rainy gusty winds. moreover, for air escort. special

flight permits were obtained from the states in whose territory the route passed. moscow is grateful to these countries for their cooperation. well, by the way, today we will not only talk about cooperation. in abu dhabi later on wednesday, vladimir putin will visit riyadh, where he will first hold negotiations at the delegation level, and then separately meeting with the crown prince, chairman of the council of ministers of saudi arabia, mohammed bin salman al-saud. yes, anastasia, thank you, anastasi efimova, about how vladimir putin’s working visit to abu dhabi is going, together with her we are closely following the president’s orders. well, it must be said that the meeting of the russian president in abu dhabi, in comparison with visits to the delivered guests from other countries to the middle east, took place in an unusually solemn atmosphere; the arrival of vladimir putin at the palace was accompanied by volleys of artillery, also in his honor the sky over the city was painted in the russian tricolor, and the colors of the russian flag were sprayed by fighter jets, and they arrived twice in a row. vladimir putin traveled around abu dhabi in

an aurus with local license plates. a striking contrast compared, for example, to how german president frank walter steinmai was received in qatar at the end of november. let me remind him that he had to wait for almost half an hour at the top of the ramp. this is in thirty-degree heat, until he was officially greeted, as the german media noted, steinmai stood on the gangway with a dissatisfied face and crossed arms, then the german president arrived in doha for negotiations with the emir of qatar on the release of german citizens held hostage by hamas. russia has every opportunity to regain its status as a great scientific and technological power, mikhail mishustin stated this during a lecture he gave as part of the knowledge project at the russia exhibition. the prime minister expressed confidence. that the country will respond to any challenges and cope with sanctions pressure, no matter what. political, social, economic contradictions, the inviolability of private property and the principles of free trade were questioned.

today they are trying to block our access to technology. i’m not even talking about some advanced developments, about the development of space, about the hydrogen engine, we’re generally talking about simple things, about communications, medicines, the ability to receive information and basic scientific research. according to experts, the russian economy responds adequately to all difficulties, and this is largely the merit of our people. as the president noted, russia will respond to any challenges, because we are one country, one big united people. but of course, it’s too early to relax, we can’t count on the western powers, i would say, to pull themselves together and change their anti-russian course . many people ask themselves the question, can we cope with such pressure? yes, i ’m sure of this, a little more than a week remains until

the results of the year with vladimir putin, the president will answer questions from russians live on december 14. two large annual formats, a direct line and a final press conference in this time they will unite. the appeal... to the head of state is received by operators of the popular front call center, it has been operating since december 1. you can ask a question by phone, sms, or on the website on social networks. venezuela has begun the process of changing its own constitution to justify the inclusion of a new state with an area of ​​almost 160,000 km2. karaka refers to the results of sunday's national referendum: neighboring goyana, which risks losing 2/3 of its territory, is naturally against it. with details, anton dadykin. to the screams bravo, the president handed over to the speaker of parliament a bill to incorporate a new state into venezuela called guyana esequibo. at meetings of the general assembly of the federal

government, in the presence of ministers, military leaders and parliamentarians, nicolas maduro announced: “caracos is beginning the process of returning the disputed territory, which neighboring guyana no longer considers its own.” the proposed law is called organic because it will become part of the venezuelan constitution, the text of which maduro quoted from a pocket edition, as head of state, in in accordance with the oath that i took on the constitution of the country, as head of government and commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the sililian republic, i gratefully shake hands with the entire venezuelan society for dialogue, advice and agreement and accept responsibility for all decisions announced today. the venezuelan society was thanked for the results of sunday's referendum. according to official data, about 95% of its participants, with a turnout of more than 50%, agreed with the government's proposals regarding esequibo. generation of free men and women

of our homeland, regardless of their views on the political and socio-economic life of venezuela, have received a historic opportunity to accelerate the process of defending the restoration of our guyana. esequiba, my only regret is that we did not convene a session of the national assembly today to immediately hold the first discussion of the organic law, but we will do so in the near future. at maduro’s suggestion, issues of integration of residents of the newly formed state will be dealt with by esequibo’s high-level protection commission. caracos also creates a zone integral defense of gayano ekibo, led by a single representative of the authorities, colonel general rodriguez cabello. the army is already sending construction materials to the border, presumably to expand military bases. some of the venezuelan su-30s received a patriotic coloring with the image of the new state on the map of the country. in

response to the rapid actions of caracas , the president of guyana issued an urgent address to the nation. guyana views this as a direct threat to its territorial integrity and will accelerate its response. guyana's armed forces are on high alert and support. contact with their counterparts, including us southern command. venezuela has rejected international law and the rule of law in general, fundamental justice and morality, and the preservation of international peace and security, they have literally declared themselves an outlaw state. irfaan ali promised to complain to the un security council, as well as the main partners the united states, great britain and brazil. on the territory of guyana, the only english-speaking countries. american military instructors work in latin america. maduro

ordered a new official map of the bolivarian republic, with twenty-four states, of course, to be sent to all schools and universities in venezuela. the dispute over 160,000 km or 70% of the territory of present-day guyana has continued for more than a century: 1899 the arbitration court in paris transferred these lands to the then british colony of guyana. in 1966, venezuela concluded a geneva agreement with the already independent goyana on the demarcation of borders through direct bilateral negotiations, but no agreement was reached succeeded, and george town filed a lawsuit against caracas in the un international court of justice. in 2015 , oil deposits with a volume of at least 10 billion barrels were discovered off the coast of esequibo. excenmobil received a production concession, as did other transnational corporations in september of this year. i propose to discuss and adopt a strict ban on contracts with any company that has received

unilateral concessions from guyana for oil production in disputed offshore areas. these companies are required to cease all operations within 3 months. we are ready for negotiations, with good will, everything is possible, but those who undertake the wrong steps will not receive anything. a specially created division of the state oil and gas company of venezuela will be responsible for issuing a production license, maduro added. american excelmobile corporation. it seems he is not going to agree with this. i'm not sure the media is aware of how tense the situation really is there, but we are doing what we can to help the guyana government ensure efficient resource extraction. the us state department called on venezuela and guyana resolve a territorial dispute through negotiations. the international court of justice, which caracas does not recognize jurisdiction in this matter, previously said it could take years to hear the case. meanwhile , brazil is already transferring additional armored vehicles to its drills. anton dadykin, lead. the issue of supplying f-16 fighter jets

is an almost unrealistic prospect. the prime minister of norway made a scandalous confession on behalf of an african politician; russian pranksters and lexus talked to him. yes, i also touched on the topic of sabotage in the northern flows of a possible return of european countries to dialogue with moscow. maria skorodilko knows what other statements he made. the dialogue itself is scandinavian reserved. but the outspoken norwegian prime minister jonas garstø is absolutely confident, talking to his colleague from africa, you can talk to him about ukraine without hiding anything. the counter-offensive in the armed forces of ukraine is a failure , støra immediately admits, the supply of western weapons cannot change anything, generously, promising weapons to zelsky, european countries, according to the prime minister of norway, are trying to sell decommissioned equipment to kiev, but intrusive requests ukraine sending f-16s will only irritate its allies, and it is not a fact that the ukrainian armed forces will eventually receive these fighters. about the prospects, we are talking about seven or eight units that norway has, we used to use f16s

as fighters, and now we are replacing them with f-35s, and f-16s were almost sold to romania to our na ally. and we have our own concerns, due to the fact that norway is russia’s neighbor, i think that the f-16 issue is a rather distant, almost unrealistic prospect. without the support of allies, the ukrainian army will not last long, admits the norwegian prime minister if the ukrainian armed forces exhaust all air defense capabilities, they will be extremely vulnerable, which is where the f-16 could potentially become. an important element, but creating an air force from scratch is a very, very difficult, big task, a complex operation, it will not work in the short term. answering a direct question about whether weapons supplied by the west to ukraine could end up in the hands of terrorists, störy did not prevaricate, he said that anything is possible. when it comes to war, there are always large flows

of weapons. no one can be sure where these weapons will end up. we should be careful. norway believes that only negotiations can resolve the ukrainian conflict, and europe should push kiev towards them. here in europe, we believe that ukraine should look for diplomatic paths that can end the fighting and move the situation into a diplomatic direction. i see that the so-called counter-offensive, in which kiev officials believe so strongly, does not lead to anything. and what should they do in this situation? if now we, together with other european leaders, can influence ukraine would be great, nolensky is unlikely to agree to this, in my opinion, the interest of ukraine should be represented by someone else, and he also considers unacceptable the behavior in the canadian parliament that was arranged for the ukrainian

nazi in honor of priezdalensky. a great shame for canada, first of all, this man has a very complex and problematic past and this caused embarrassment, this is a shame. more and more european countries would like to start a dialogue with russia, but for now they are afraid, they say, when asked about explosions on the nord streams, the prime minister norway responded extremely evasively, but admitted that this was sabotage organized at a very high professional level. i think everyone knows that we are the main supplier of energy to europe. we rely on the energy security of our pipelines, our platforms, and i have said from day one that this is a clear act of sabotage, this is a complex operation that cannot be done by just anyone. the european authorities clearly don’t see the point in giving money if they don’t pay back. aid to ukraine no longer pays dividends for those who started it war. kiev has

become toxic and it is unlikely that anything will be able to survive from it, but used things in the west are used to recycling, this is one of the support for youth projects in science, art and sports was discussed today at the russian-belarusian forum, it was held in the format of a video bridge moscow minsk , was timed to coincide with the twenty-fourth anniversary of the signing of the treaty on the creation of a union state. participants noted the importance of educational work with young people, as well as patriotic education, including through the memory train project. thanks to above all special interest. the upper houses of parliaments, senators of belarus and russia and the young people who responded to their call, we saw that the memory train became an event primarily for the destinies of all those, for hundreds of children who went to the battlefields of the great patriotic war. more than 400 schools participate in the work of the association

schools of the republic of belarus russian federation, a very successful project, the guys communicate, visit each other, uh, conduct video conferencing with teachers, this is very popular. joint operation the arrest of a gang of criminals was carried out by police officers, the fsb and the investigative committee of russia ; as reported by the ministry of internal affairs, the group had been operating in several regions of the country since the late nineties. the leaders of active participants were taken into custody in the spring, after which eight more people were identified, they were detained today. those involved include current former employees. security forces. the gang specialized in committing serious , especially serious, contract crimes using firearms, explosive devices, including murders, kidnappings and robberies. it was established that the leader of the gang lived for a long time on the territory of ukraine, where he has

a residence permit. at the same time, he regularly came to russia to coordinate the activities of the group and guide ordinary participants in the commission of crimes. he transferred funds obtained through criminal means to his country of permanent residence. the next shift of magate specialists has begun work at the zaporozhye nuclear power plant. our team helped carry out the rotation military. as reported by the russian ministry of defense, sappers examined the territory of the crossing point. in addition, a ceasefire was declared along the entire route of the convoy. i watched the progress of the operation. in the gray zone of the zaporozhye region, not far from the village of kamyanskoye, on a completely blown-up bridge , a rotation of missionaries from the mgat is taking place. here they are now. are now passing under the bridge because it was blown up, carrying heavy backpacks and suitcases, the rotation of inspectors began on september 14

last year, during which time more than fifty foreign observers from different countries, rafael grossi himself came three times, each time russian military personnel ensure the security of the event. the ministry of defense, together with the russian guard and the state corporation rosatom, carries out. is responsible for security along the entire route, the path of foreigners to russia goes through ukraine through the gray zone and our rear areas, a regime of silence is declared for the passage of respected inspectors, the russian military, for its part , guarantees its observance, but the defenders of the ukrainian armed forces have violated it once. clear skies are more likely worse than good, because there is a drone danger, and there may be provocations, well, before this there were provocations, and we are getting to that. representatives of the international atomic energy agency have been repeatedly asked to use the land corridor that runs through our new territories, or through crimea. but observers stubbornly walk

in almost the same direction. contact has been established with an officer from the magat security department. the road under the bridge has been checked by experts from the russian and ukrainian sides, and they are ready to cross. traditional russian greeting military personnel. and now it is mandatory to hand over smartphones and gadgets to the security service of the zaporozhye nuclear power plant in order to exclude the possibility of filming our positions in the rear. magat experts hand over the phones to the security service in order to exclude the possibility of removal and fixation along the route. four observers from countries of the so-called global south are replaced by representatives from northern europe and america. the new 2024 rotations are planned to be met at the zaporozhye nuclear power plant in energodar. rotation of magate to zaporozhye the nuclear power plant is operating normally.

story. democracy in russia goes back to ancient times. the national assembly of residents of the veche made decisions on all significant issues and played a key role in the formation of russian statehood. by the 16th century, a new institution of verbal representation had emerged. cathedrals of the earth. they ensured legitimacy and continuity of power and established a new electoral tradition. catherine included elements of election for the decision. a number of state tasks: for the first time the foundations of electoral law were laid in relation to cities and the urban population. thanks to the reforms of alexander ii, zemstvos appeared in russia. the people were legitimized as a new source of power. the state duma became the country's first all-class legislative body. she was elected for 5 years. the elections were multi-stage, held in four curiae. elections to the constituent assembly.
