thank you very much, mr. park, for your question. vladimir vladimirovich, let me ask you a question from the tas agency and news agency. well, of course. i want us to return to the russian economy, this is something like, you know, like an anecdote, if you listen to it. now, you have already talked about the current state of the economy, you remember, there were such wonderful people who said that the russian economy was already torn to shreds, then we were taxed. were now subject to thousands of sanctions, we are in the third year of a special military operation, here are the further the prospects for the economy are as excellent as its current state, what do you think? some of our ill-wishers believe that these numerous sanctions, there are 16-17,000 of them, there is no other country in the world against which such a number would be imposed.

we wouldn’t have been able to achieve such close cooperation in the most sensitive high-tech areas anyway, there was nothing to count on, but of course problems are created, we see them, but oddly enough, maybe for...

they just take the places of those leaving or those who left our market of western manufacturers, they pick them up and quickly develop them, so i think that not only our ill-wishers, ill-wishers did not expect such an effect, we ourselves partly did not expect, well, the most primitive example, i won’t say from which area now , yes, i’m asking about...

the development of these niches from which the western manufacturer has left, and growth on this basis, it still has some limitations, we understand this, therefore, for the purposes of our development, those strategic guidelines that we we set ourselves, one of the main goals is technological independence, we intend, we are already doing this, we intend in the future, to invest there... certain and

considerable resources in order to catch up with what we still need to catch up with, or maybe , make some kind of movement forward, so as to jump over some. redistribution, we, we understand this, we are aware of this, whether we will succeed or not, i cannot say in advance, but - but we are still optimistic , i think that it will work out, especially if we are forced to do it, if suddenly all will change, they will give us cheap, cheap high-tech goods, then it’s not the government, it’s the participants in economic activity, then the participants in economic activity can jump, you know, again, uh. means switching to a western manufacturer who provides goods of fairly good quality at reasonable prices, but if this does not happen, we will be forced to do it ourselves, yes, maybe we will have to, as they say in

the governments, shift some goals to the right, that is shift the timing, but we will mostly do it we’ll do it, but i keep giving this example, we’re making the mc-21 plane and... the wing, yes, but it’s a modern plane, modern materials, harnesses are inserted into the wing, yes, from modern materials, but the american administration took it and installed it them under sanctions, meaning that it is supposedly dual -use, complete nonsense, there is nothing dual-use there, and therefore, due to the fact that it is a competitor, which means that the boeing 737, in my opinion, i don’t remember, but - to me, this is the same medium-range aircraft. well yes, we have as if production had slowed down a little, we had to work on it, but we did it, went to the right according to the schedule for 2 years, however, well, that’s it, now we’ve done it, it flies the plane, that is, we are for everything, i have no

doubt that we we will do everything, the only question is the timing, but of course, timing is also important, because while we are doing something, someone is already moving ahead, we also understand this, and we will try.

and this, in my opinion, is the main thing, we also showed ourselves and the whole world that we are not only talking about protecting our interests, but we are doing this and will do this without any

doubt, everyone will have to take this into account, as for the second part of your question, what is needed. to do in order to stop the hostilities in ukraine, i can tell you, as a representative of the united states, what i once told mr. biden.

details, but this meant that all signatories , probably, there is no need to go into

, would have to provide military assistance to ukraine if necessary, and so on and so forth. this is a difficult issue for us, i said that this is necessary think about it, but it's negotiable. the same thing seemed to apply to the interests of russia, i repeat this again. the status of ukraine, its not joining any blocs, this is a limitation of weapons to a certain extent, and so on, and this is certainly what the russian federation is interested in. in addition, as you remember, we talked about the denazification of ukraine, and i was very surprised when they started asking me, what is denazification, and this... and this is a prohibition at the legislative level - propaganda of nazism,

strange as it may seem, here too we have found a common platform, as well as on other key issues necessary to resolve this crisis situation peacefully, and if the head of the negotiating group from the side... ukraine, under an excerpt from this big agreement, put his signature, initialed this document. i think this indicates that this generally suited the ukrainian side, and if we accepted it, then it generally suited russia. i don't want to put you in any kind of situation difficult situation. johnson came to kiev and

recommended throwing this agreement in the trash, why did he set the goal for his ukrainian colleagues to achieve victory on the battlefield, to achieve the strategic defeat of russia. the ukrainian side, it’s official.

us administration, i have no doubt about that . thank you, mr. president, with your permission, let me ask one more short question not related to ukraine: this concerns the journalist evan gershkovich, who has been imprisoned for more than a year. so far, no evidence has been made public regarding the crimes he committed. could you tell us about the negotiations that may be currently underway with the united states regarding his release, when will we be able to see him? you know, well, you think that he is innocent of anything, russian law enforcement agencies, special services believe that he committed actions, illegal actions that are called espionage, i

won’t go into details and details now, i know, that... the administration of the united states is really taking energetic steps for his release, this is true, but such issues are not resolved through the media, they like such a quiet, calm, professional approach and dialogue between the intelligence services, and of course they should be resolved only on the basis.

people who have nothing to do with palestine at all, in principle, people all over the world are calling on world powers to put an end to what is happening now in the gaza strip. thank you, the first thing i want to say is that, of course, we are against terrorism in all its manifestations.

account, we believe that this is the result of the policy of the united states, which monopolized, monopolized the israeli-palestinian settlement, pushed aside all the previously created tools for collective attempts to resolve this most complex issue, well... maybe someone in the administration believed that the fewer opinions there are, the faster you can reach some kind of agreement, but practice has shown that this is not the case. so first, second, resolving the issue with the help of some kind of material handouts is also unpromising, we

they talked about this, they said that it was unlikely that it would be possible to replace the solution of political issues related to the fate of the palestinian people from a historical perspective with help. distributing some economic carrots, yes, this is necessary to create an atmosphere of solution, to create an atmosphere of solving certain problems, but still , it is necessary to solve essentially, it is necessary to solve political issues, and the main one is the creation of two states, as it was and was originally envisaged when the un decided to create two.

situation, any current situation, we have long recognized the palestinian state as such since soviet times, in this sense our position has not changed, we know that president erdogan is making vigorous efforts to solve this very acute, long-standing problem, but also taking into account the authority of president erdogan and region. in the world, in the islamic world, we very much hope that his contribution will be noticeable, we, for our part, are ready to do everything that depends on russia in order to

resolve the situation, bearing in mind, among other things, our relations that have developed with state of israel over the past decades. mr. rashan, do you have a second question? as, akyuyu. so, now, looking to the future, are there any changes on the russian side, any progress

regarding the construction of a gas hub, a center that has been discussed in recent years. is there any news from the russian side regarding this project, or are there any other future projects? everything is absolutely on schedule, there are no delays, a large number of people are working, and builders mainly builders from turkey are attracted to carry out a larger volume of construction work, our specialists work in turkey, we are grateful to the turkish leadership for the conditions.

turkish energy sector and well, president erdogan made such a strategic choice, in my opinion, a very correct one, including this allows us to get rid of dependence on hydrocarbons, well, what can you say here, we have reliable work, a partnership, very reliable , as for the gas hub, then yes here we are thinking about this gazprom with... working with other vkontakte partners, but so that there is it’s clear, but i keep trying to explain it, this is not just gas storage, it’s a platform, an electronic platform at the first

stage for gas trading.

made an attempt to attack a gas pumping station, which is located on the black sea coast, from which gas is supplied to turkey. by the way, we draw your attention to the fact that in some areas turkey is cooperating with ukraine, and at the same time ukraine is trying to strike at gas pipelines that carry gas to turkey. this is not a joke, this is not an exaggeration of any kind, it’s just two drones were suppressed.

connections with russia, then there will be more losses for the turkish economy than gains, in my opinion, such a threat exists, but this is a matter of such special consideration, maybe separately, but i just look at the numbers, and macroeconomic indicators are, they... they still require

special attention from the turkish government, but i don’t want to go into details, although i know them well, i’m immersed in the material, i understand what’s happening there, thank you for the question, mr. ashan, vladimir vladimirovich, you recently had a three-day state visit to uzbekistan and assessed this visit as very fruitful and successful, and now a guest from tashkent has arrived in st. petersburg.
