oh, you clearly need a rebranding, bremen musicians, grab them, soon, let's start with messages from ukraine, they announced three times throughout the country today. alarm, the ukrainian media reported about the arrival of explosions, including in kiev, in the zhytomyr region in the city of starokonstantinov, khmelnitsky region, where a military airfield is located. previously, reports of explosions also came from the odessa region and from the controlled kiev, kherson and snegerevka. the russian ministry of defense has not yet commented on the situation; from the details it is only known that the strikes were carried out on military-strategic objects. the question of

the situation in ukraine and the course of the special military operation became one of the main ones today in a big conversation with vladimir putin. the president summed up the results of the year, combining two formats: a direct line and a final press conference. in 4 hours and 3 minutes , i answered more than 80 requests out of more than 2 million questions sent and voiced. and this is how the head of state commented on the question of how long the special operation could last under what conditions peace is possible. there will be peace when we will achieve our goals that you said, now let’s return to these goals, they do not change, now as for demilitarization, well, they don’t want to negotiate, well, then we are forced to accept other, including military peace, well, today ukraine is almost it no longer produces anything, well , they are trying to keep something else there, well, there is almost nothing, they bring everything, sorry for the maviton, well, everything is for free. brings everything that

the westerners promised, ukraine received everything, even more, but we destroyed, only starting with the so-called counter-offensive, 747 tanks, this is data as of yesterday evening, which means there are almost 2,300 armored vehicles of various classes, this is demilitarization, or we will agree, we will pre-militarize, we will agree on certain parameters, by the way, during... the city in istanbul, we agreed on them, just later these agreements begged for the stove, well, we agreed on this, there are other possibilities either to come to an agreement and solve it, or solve it by force, this is what we will strive for, we asked the president whether a second wave of mobilization is possible, the issue, as the head of state noted, is sensitive for the entire country, but is not relevant today; there are already 24,400 mobile phones in the zone...

denis alekseev will tell you more about the situation in the combat zone. russian troops on the front line operate in active defense mode meter by meter, occupying important positions and preventing the ukrainian fighters from moving forward towards their intended targets. and it’s becoming more and more difficult for the armed forces members to move. cold off-road conditions do not allow nato equipment to prove itself, which is in open areas. stuck in mud or snowdrifts becomes a target for our military, the list of liquidated western weapons is rapidly growing in winter, especially, well, the topic of our successes, in particular on the fronts, became one of the key ones at the final press conference of vladimir putin, we gave them as much as we promised, 400 tanks, there are 420, 430, well, they gave, by the way, they gave everything that they promised, everything that they promised.

colossal work continues, 617 thousand people are involved, half of them are called up as part of partial mobilization, and some sign up for to count their own feats, awarded state awards, 14 people became heroes of russia, no matter how the western press pumps up the ukrainian propagandists, the situation is developing, well, definitely not in favor of the second wave, this is not necessary, putin said. we have undergone partial mobilization. and we then called 300,000

people, by the way, at first there was a lot of irony, all sorts of chuckles about this, but they stuck such a name to them. mobik people, i remember all this very well, they fight great, guys, just great, after that we started a fairly broad campaign to attract people on a voluntary basis to conclude contracts with the armed forces, as of yesterday evening - they reported to me that 486,000 of ours have been recruited...

in directions where the counter-offensive planned at the beginning of the year did not take place, the vsushniki are marking time and they cannot advance further, and every now and then they give up their milestones, one defender after another. another success for the paratroopers in this direction, the airborne attack aircraft near rabotin gained a foothold at an advantageous position. kiev command in despair: we need to show results to the west, but it doesn’t work out, so in an attempt to secure a road to crimea, the ukrainian armed forces are sending assault troops to the left bank of the dnieper. russian. the troops made a tactical maneuver, retreated a few meters into a forest plantation in the krynok area in order to limit themselves to only sanitary losses; here, in the ranks of the elite units of the armed forces of ukraine, dozens of people were killed per day. the enemy announced a big counter-offensive, nothing

worked anywhere, well, here’s the last attempt, well, at least it looks like it today as a last try. was to break through to the left bank of the dnieper to ensure their movement in the direction of the crimea, they shove their people to simply exterminate. the servicemen themselves say, ukrainian servicemen say that this is a one-way road. our servicemen suffered two or three medical losses there; three days ago there were six wounded, while the enemy had dozens of dead. these are not just military personnel of the ukrainian armed forces, these are the elite, assault troops, actually there are not that many of them, so if you count how many losses there are in a month and a half what the armed forces of ukraine have, but you can imagine

how sensitive this is, i think this is stupidly irresponsible on the part of the country’s political leadership, this is... footage of the night work of crews of grad rocket systems, the center group, the ural guards motorized rifle regiment, volleys are fired from camouflaged positions, fortified areas, equipment and manpower were hit, which became serious support for the assault units, which now moved forward unhindered. well, now let’s talk about how our military achieves high results in advanced, constant training of skills in the rear. this is the training ground where the vostok group fighters were withdrawn. from the contact line to rest, they devote time to training every day, analyze tactics, conduct fire training, everyone has real combat experience, but they say that being arrogant is not about them, there is always something to learn. denis alekseev, olga rebrova, lead.

in the zaporozhye region , vladimir putin’s proposals to solve the problem associated with the shortage of medical workers will be worked out. governor yevgeny baletsky announced this. in direct broadcast of the program. what is the situation with doctors in medicine today and, accordingly, how relevant will the proposal be today, and what needs to be done to it, what changes? we currently have a shortage of personnel for doctors of more than 1,300 people, less than 50% staffed. this means that,

nevertheless, this year , thanks to your support and the efforts of the government , 139 doctors, 176 paramedical personnel, and 15 healthcare organizers were attracted to the industry. but we understand that this is still not enough, thanks to today's decisions announced by the president, this is, first of all , a doubling of payments. according to the zemsky doctor zemsky felch program, we expect to be confident that this will attract a significant number of additional people, the second solution that was announced is a preferential mortgage for secondary housing will also make it more attractive for specialists to come here and, accordingly, improve the availability of medical care . the authorities are interested in women making decisions in favor of preserving the life of the child, but also rights. when restrictions on abortion were introduced, he answered the question of whether

these were necessary and would be observed, so vladimir putin , as prime minister of the consequences of such ill-considered bans, the president cited the notorious anti-alcohol campaign that was carried out in soviet times. natalya soloveva, more details. one after another, over the course of the year, a number of regions introduced measures against abortion; in some , penalties for inducing abortion were already introduced , and the procedure itself was taken from list of services from private clinics, in others. these measures are being actively discussed; abortions have been partially or completely abandoned in private clinics in the crimea, kursk region, mordovia, tatarstan, punishment for persuasion has been introduced in the kaliningrad and tver regions, in the chelyabinsk, tambov, penza regions, the option of various restrictions is still being discussed, as well as in primorsky edge. in the pskov region , this pressing issue will also be considered, but only comprehensively with support for expectant mothers who find themselves in a difficult life situation, as he directly stated in his telegram channel.

then i know, just now i remembered about the bans in the sphere of the anti-alcohol company, we remember what this led to, it led to the use of surrogates, to an increase in moonshine, to an increase in victims from these poisonings by these surrogates, and here in this in this area, oh which you just mentioned and which we are talking about now, you also need to act very carefully. i, of course, of course, i know the position of the church, and

the church cannot have another position, but heated disputes at the regional level do not subside, in in the lipetsk region, since the beginning of december , pregnancy termination can only be done in a state clinic, all for the sake of demography. today , the regional health department signed an important agreement on the refusal of private clinics in the lipetsk region to provide abortions. now they will be carried out only in government hospitals. now it will be possible to save more lives, because the overwhelming number of women continue their pregnancy. in neighboring kursk, literally on the eve of the direct line with the president, governor starovoyd spoke harshly: under no circumstances should prohibit or restrict abortion. it is my firm conviction of our entire team, including experts, that under no circumstances should abortions be prohibited or limited, under any circumstances. firstly, this is a woman’s right, and secondly, there are many indications for this. including the personal decision of the woman herself, it should be untouchable. in the nizhny novgorod

region, on the contrary, a ban on the procedure in private clinics is not just being discussed, they have proposed extending it to the entire country, as well as liability for inducement. in the upper house of the russian parliament about this speaker valentina matvienko previously spoke about a sensitive topic and emphasized that a balanced approach is important, no matter which clinic a woman goes to, private or public, she should not be deprived of the right to choose. i am absolutely sure that no prohibitions , no sociability, no pressure , no criminalization of legislation in this area can solve this problem, and the state will definitely not go down this path, i believe that we will definitely achieve that abortions will be performed only in cases there is some kind of violence against a woman, or for medical reasons indications.

not under the supervision of a doctor in appropriate conditions, but somewhere in unsuitable places, this is a threat to the lives of women, this is an increase in the mortality rate of women. a threat to their health, this cannot be allowed. meanwhile, family, motherhood and childhood are one of the priorities of the country’s domestic policy, and this topic requires constant state attention; bans alone, as the president said, will not achieve anything; an integrated approach is needed, through special programs and support measures, which means work will continue in this direction, 2024

year has been declared the year of the family. natalya slavyova, lead. i know absolutely exactly what biden, scholz, macron, richa sunok were doing for 4 hours today, why zelensky was so worried, because obviously they were all closely following the direct line of the combined press conference, the president.

but don’t, you just have to enjoy what’s happening, you have to watch the president without a piece of paper, without reading the answers to questions, unlike biden, without speaking his native language, unlike zelensky, without being afraid of a single question , no one journalist, not a single uncomfortable topic, calmly, clearly, clearly, thoughtfully. answers the most inconvenient questions, without saying that the point is the only possible and correct one, in some questions he invites us to think and discuss together, such as, for example, such a very difficult question about the birth rate, about abortion, about attitudes towards the family, but he very delicate, and here a religious point of view is expressed, it is understood, at

the same time understanding is expressed on other topics, such as, for example, here is the topic, yes, for murder, 14 years... and on almost every issue the logic was clear, when you understand how decisions are made, when, if you like, they let you in, they reveal this secret, how analytics works, how the analysis goes, this is of course very interesting, journalists, residents of the country, although i liked it, notice how we are not afraid of any colors, that

is, unlike the ukrainians, who , god forbid, the combination of colors of our national flag immediately causes panic. attack, we are very calm, well, yellow ribbons, yellow ribbons, but someone came with a yellow folder, a yellow folder, on blue ones, yes, we are not fighting with flowers, we are fighting with the nazis, we will not give up the rainbow to lgbt people, and we will figure out for ourselves what is good and what is bad, two traditional format, a large press conference , a direct line, were combined in one, representatives of both russian media gathered in gostiny dvor, and

will definitely be processed, a variety of topics were raised, for example, from a global scale to the cost of eggs in russia, to be honest, i i understand that the topic is of course popular, but it’s just sad when this reaches such a level, well, that is , this problem could have been solved before, and effectively, and simply and quickly, and of course, they didn’t look at it, it’s not good at all, special attention to special... and here it was clearly visible , how deeply putin is in the topic, how much he knows the situation on each sector of the front at his fingertips with what... loving care, he speaks about real heroes, real heroes are the people who defend

our homeland, this is what putin said about the goals of the special military operations, peace will be then, when we achieve our goals that you mentioned, now let’s return to these goals, they do not change, so i’ll remind you what we talked about then regarding denazification ; we didn’t agree that some kind of denazification was needed and we talked about , that there is no fascisation, which means

there is no growth in such sentiments, well, how can it not, when a national hero, a well-known, not just a nationalist, a nazi, bandera, is elevated to the rank of a national hero, how can it not, when it means the head of today’s... administration of the kiev in front of the whole world, standing to applaud a former ss soldier who directly participated in the holocaust in the extermination of one and a half million jews in ukraine, russian poles, standing ovation, is this not a manifestation of nazism or what? therefore, the issue of denazification is relevant, although then during the negotiation process we were told so in general. our negotiators, in principle, do not exclude the possibility of adopting some legislative acts in ukraine, but this was then during the negotiations in istanbul. now,

as for demilitarization, well, they don’t want to come to an agreement, well, then we are forced take other measures, including military measures, well, today ukraine produces almost nothing, well, they are trying to preserve something there, but they bring almost nothing. sorry for the maviton, well , he brings everything for free, but this freebie may end someday, and apparently, it’s ending little by little, but that’s not even the point, i think they will still give, but destruction is happening, i won’t now there to remember these figures for airplanes, for air defense systems, well, they gave them as many as they were promised, 400 tanks, there are 420, 430, well, by the way, they gave everything they promised. everything that the westerners promised, ukraine received everything, even more, but we destroyed, just starting with the so-called counter-offensive, 747

tanks, this is data as of yesterday evening, which means almost 2300 armored vehicles of various classes, this is demilitarization, or we will agree , pre-militarization, we will agree on certain parameters, by the way, during the negotiations in istanbul, we agreed on them, it’s just then choosing to put these agreements into the oven, well, we agreed on this, there are other possibilities or we can agree and decide, or decide by force , this is what we will strive for, so i propose such an absolutely free format, so decide who will start, let’s play democracy successfully, yes, if possible, i’ll start from where i started the president in his opening speech, he outlined the situation in the economy, summed up the results of the year, but

i will name some figures, just to remind you, this means that the growth of gross domestic product is expected to be 3.5%, and the growth of investments is 10%, the growth of real incomes of the population is 7.5% , and former partners, that means someone was talking about that the russian economy would be torn to shreds, a year and a half ago, a year and a half, probably yes, well, a year ago the situation was

when... but they believed that the second sanctions would finish us off, which means that it was, the banking system should have ceased to exist, the accounts were blocked, which means our assets abroad were blocked, they were disconnected from swift, disconnected from mastercard, they thought that the payment system within russia would collapse. but they stopped purchasing oil, which means they cut off gas by more than half, and then they introduced a ceiling on oil prices in general, they banned sea freight, which means, well, and so on, i won’t list it, then even many economists, including russian ones, said that the best scenario for our economy this year would be to reach

zero. level, haven’t you tried to persecute our economists? you know, it helps a lot, because so far our economists are significantly worse than our meteorologists. well , it happens, yes, in every way, which means that the forecasts were different, nevertheless, no one predicted 3.5% growth, and the government forecast, which was used as the basis for the budget also assumed a slight increase, which means that this year’s growth covered the previous year’s decline.

but the president spoke about this very calmly, because, of course, it is extremely premature to fall into euphoria, yes.

thank you very much for your devotion to the values ​​for which we live and for which we fight, i am a pashtun, an afghan, i am a russian soldier, it is an honor to have, they look at this glow of our donetsk, every night it attracts them, we do not let them in we won’t let you in there.
