"the russian ministry of defense published footage of the launch of the soyuz-2-1v launch vehicle with the spacecraft; this happened at the plesesk cosmodrome in the arkhangelsk region. at the estimated time, the spacecraft was launched into the target orbit and accepted for control by ground-based space forces of the aerospace forces. the apparatus was installed and stable telemetric communication is maintained, the systems operate without failures. several

hundred special machines are eliminating the consequences of the heavy snowfall that covered the svertlovsk region the day before. so far, cope with it’s difficult to deal with the elements; due to unfavorable weather conditions, regional routes are closed. our correspondent dmitry nemytov is in direct communication from yekaterinburg. dmitry, hello, what about the traffic on the roads now? how are you coping with the situation? yes, alexander, hello, indeed, in the serenlovsky region there was a powerful storm all day long. snowfall, a huge amount of snow fell, this created a huge number of traffic jams, but the biggest traffic jam is now on the highway from yekaterinburg to perm, the fact is that here in the area of ​​​​the city of revda a huge traffic jam has accumulated, 20 km in one direction and 10 km in the other direction, the traffic jam is already at least a sever, so we just returned from this place, we talked with truck drivers who say that they are really running out of kerosene, running out...

they are forced to stand idle to heat their cabins, they are running out of water , food, in fact, this long standing has led to the fact that the traffic jam is only growing, now it means that the ministry of emergency situations employees are setting up heating points on the highways, lining up equipment so that somehow control the situation, provide assistance, that’s why we have a comment from a representative of the regional ministry of emergency situations about this, let’s listen to what the representative says. the main department decided to move two heating points to the municipal formation of the city of pervouralsk and the nizhneserginsky municipal district, and also to monitor the situation, an operational group of the main department went to the site in a video consisting of an unmanned aerial vehicle designed to monitor the situation, also in connection with weather conditions conditions, the main control has been transferred to high alert mode.

and literally the latest information from the state traffic safety inspectorate does not allow truckers onto the federal highway, they do not allow heavy trucks out, all because this traffic jam simply does not grow any further, they keep them in the area of ​​​​the city of yekaterinburg, they do not allow them to get on the highway, it is possible to leave only in a passenger car, how many this will continue, it’s very difficult to say, because the harvesting equipment is working, the roads need to be improved. outside the cities and in the city into a normative state, because for recently, in yekaterinburg alone, 5,500 tons of snow were removed from the roads, a huge amount, and the work is just beginning, it will apparently last throughout the new year holidays, we have never had such a quantity of snow, the height of the cover sometimes grows up to half a meter, in fact, this is what the current situation is in the serlov region, we will keep an eye on it, alexander.

dmitry, thank you, our correspondent, dmitry nemytov, was from yekaterenburg. the air raid alert sounded last night and this morning most regions of ukraine, in particular in the poltava, kharkov and dnepropetrovsk regions, as well as in the kiev-controlled part of the zaporozhye region, then in the nikolaev, odessa and khmelnytsky regions, as well as in the kiev-controlled part of the kherson region. reports of powerful explosions came from kherson. local media circulated footage of the aftermath of the strikes. there was a major fire at the local port. the united states will do everything to maintain the conflict in ukraine throughout the new year. the russian foreign ministry said that we need to do it ourselves democrats, and before the presidential elections in the united states, admitting that the project of the kiev regime has failed is tantamount to failure for them, so the current authorities of the country will do their best to extract money from taxpayers. and if this

fails, then washington will encourage the ukrainian authorities to carry out brutal terrorist attacks in order to thus show their activity; as an option, various kinds of sabotage may be used. the organization of another anti-russian provocation using western toxic substances cannot be ruled out. production, in order to then initiate a new campaign in the structures of the united nations and the world media, accusing our country of allegedly deliberately using chemical weapons. according to available information , the sbu is actively participating in the preparation of such a provocation, which has attracted a ukrainian company located in kiev to cooperation.

president, such a vote will take place in 29 regions; the head of the central election committee, ella ponfilova, spoke about other topics in an interview with our channel. ella alexandrovna, hello hello. well, probably, now all the informational reasons are related to the upcoming presidential elections, we will definitely touch on this topic, discuss it, there are indeed questions, but let’s start with the results. what work has the central election commission done in 2023? what are you ending the year with? well, as always, we did a great job, large-scale, in a number of parameters, it was qualitatively different from previous periods, although the groundwork for the introduction of innovation, new technologies and various, let’s say,

interesting, i would say, but new products that work to expand. kherson, zaporozhye regions , there were elections for the first time already within the russian federation, and of course, this required a huge expenditure of effort to help our colleagues, that is, this is the first time, this is a fundamental import, this is a really huge scale

of new work for us, how do you evaluate these results how it all went, well, it went, it adequately, reliably reflected the mood of the people, theirs. desires and such a great need for people to hold these elections it was important, of course, for the first time this year you tried two new ones, well, let’s say, two new projects, this is a stop double on, let’s say , preventing multiple voting, double voting was worked out there, we continue to improve it, but it was a very interesting project, a large-scale project , this ... informunik, such a new technology, with a special mobile application, and many regions, 78 out of 89 regions used it in the last elections, what does this

mean, this is a departure from, say, the traditional door-to-door crawl, but here is the conclusion to a new one quality level, that is, when...

everything is absolutely transparent, this is the use of artificial intelligence when checking signatures, this is a digital service, this is much more and an interactive workpad that allows our colleagues in the regions to very quickly obtain the information they need, this is absolutely a new training system using modern technologies of our colleagues on the commissions and testing them, very interesting, i would say, interesting... the forms are accessible, very understandable, motivational, which give very

serious results, and much, much more , what we are using now, all this is aimed at ensuring that our voters, based on the situation in which they found themselves during the elections, say, in one place or another, have the opportunity to vote. just 4 years ago, for the first time in the nineteenth year in one region in moscow, several

thousand people voted remotely for the first time, i repeat once again, just 4 years ago, look at the progress, how intensively this system developed, the next stage, several regions, already not on one level of elections, at several levels of elections, the following...

apply it very thoughtfully, carefully carefully, in accordance with our confidence, how much is the system on this scale in this, say, with this nature of complexity, how safe is it from external and various types of attacks , that is, its safety, to what extent it corresponds to the needs of society and the level of trust, and this is the most important issue.

we recommended that they make greater use of our additional voting types for security purposes, but to,

if there is a certain forecast that can , well, say, from a security point of view, so as not to gather many people in one place, but to disperse our voters, that is , there are a number of other nuances, voting according to documents is also not always possible, for example, people someone...

in registration, what would you advise, firstly to candidates, those who want to apply, and what does the son do on his part so that there are no accusations of bias, but if you explain who these 33 people are, it will also be very interesting, because that i follow the information agenda, i tried to count, well, in the public space i counted about ten, no more, who are these people, they want to somehow participate incognito, these are eight parties, yes, eight parties that nominate a candidate,

or we give continue the road, or we refuse , yes, well, what did our refusal have to do with it, well, the protocols, the protocol in general, yes, this violation of the law is simply obvious and it simply does not allow the group to be registered further, when at the beginning, at the time of the beginning there are no minutes of the meeting, there are no minutes, how did it happen that the protocol, in

which there should be ... does not allow people to vote and, well, it’s a funny argument, they reviewed it so quickly on the third day, 3 days, let’s say, on just the third day they considered the application, well, the candidates, and this is exactly because the authorities were very scared, well, the guys there are from germany, there are from respected media, from somewhere else, well, at least you...
