now we are moving to a defensive position, we will to work directly from the border, because the target is very distant, so we will move out in advance now, we will conduct reconnaissance there. enemy fpv drones and mortars are trying to work on the combat vehicle, move out, move out, we are moving out, the hunt for us is dense, there are unmanned aerial vehicles in the air, they are copying our coordinates, as soon as we fire a salvo at the target, they fire back at us, or counter-battery combat. after the strike, the crew pours water on the shelter from the drones above the combat vehicle. don't pour it so much, it doesn't will flare up. sometimes, they are now changing frequencies very often, well, in principle, effectively. no, no, heavy, now. after the unit of the group of troops north pushes the front line back several kilometers, our artillery is consolidated at these heights. cd-30 deploys the gun at a new firing line.

was free of enemy drones now along the forest belts we approach the artillery calculations and the gun diatentes at night in the camps not nazi in the kursk region the artillery is working we work a lot in a group we hit as a rule after the first two hits they start running the gun accurately.

targets that our online mode transmits shoots well calculation of the installation hits the aerial reconnaissance, the whole crew works on the machine, understands that this is our chance for victory, for life, we all love it and take care of it, the machines are very easy to operate, self-propelled artillery installation crab our units destroy with the help of loitering ammunition lancet, the crew of army aviation. goes through the camps and fortified positions of non-nazis on the footage of objective control, our operators record the defeat of targets. stanislav nazarov, evgeny kirilenko, mikhail siberev, vesti kurskaya oblast. belgorod oblast is again under attack by the ukrainian armed forces for the second time in a day. in the village of bezlyudovka, a ukrainian shell hit a residential building, killing a woman. as a result of the shelling, windows were knocked out in neighboring houses, roofs and fences were cut. about this. scores.

the german chancellor does not intend to allow ukraine to strike targets deep in russia with german long-range weapons. olaf scholz emphasized that his position will not change regardless of decisions of the allies. moscow warns that if nato countries allow kiev to use western long-range missiles, they will provoke a direct conflict between russia and the alliance. us president , british prime minister. they tried this issue in washington in detail. the head of the new york bureau of news, valentin bogdanov. the trip for strategic unity with the us on the issue of western missile strikes deep into russia for the british prime minister starmer

ended where it began. almost on the threshold of the white house, he ran into angry biden, who took it out on the journalists. mr. president, what can you say? about vladimir putin's threat of war. i can tell you, keep quiet until i speak, okay? but what can you say about the threat of war? is it a serious threat? you have to keep quiet until i make a statement. okay? anyway, welcome to the white house, mr. prime minister. putin mixed up their cards with his warning, but it's easy to stand up.

well, of course, he definitely has to be part of it. calculations. what is the position of the white house on allowing ukraine to move forward, to use some of the weapons supplied by the west to fight in a way that ukraine sees fit. we heard from representative john kirby that we should not expect any statements on this matter or any change in policy from the us. we expect that during the bilateral meeting the british prime minister will put pressure on the president to change his decision. but starmer did not dare to put pressure, is he afraid? british reporters asked their prime minister after the meeting, was he afraid of putin, not biden? do you get the impression that president putin is intimidating you by threatening war with nato? there is only one reason

why we are having these meetings, and that is because putin has illegally invaded ukraine. to solve this problem, we need to have a discussion as soon as possible not only with our allies here, the united states, but also with our nato allies. allies come in different forms, and the canadian prime minister, if you listen to his words, is ready to ready to go to hell, against his elders. canada fully supports ukraine, using long-range weapons to prevent and stop russia's further ability to destroy civilian infrastructure in ukraine and mainly kill innocent civilians in its unjust war. trudeau can issue such texts. linear kilometers at once in two languages ​​- english and french, but although canada is a founding country of the north atlantic alliance, in reality everything still rests on the possibilities pentagon, they are, as it turns out, pretty depleted in terms of long-range missiles. there is a risk of escalation, which is what

president biden really fears, the question of supplies arises. these stockpiles of strike weapons are not unlimited and are very valuable. and the us believes that they could be better used inside ukraine, for example, in russian-occupied territories, such as crimea. us officials also point to the fact that some. targets in russia could be moved beyond reach, so these attacks may not be so effective in the end. and this is already a question for the entire strategy of the west in ukraine. for example, congresswoman victoria sparts, née victoria kulgeika, originally from the city of nosovka, chernihiv region, who does not even need a translation, no matter how hard she tried, she still did not understand the plans of zelensky and company. i think that we need to think everything over, because we often do it in such a way that we send a couple of tanks and say: we are going to seize crimea, but in

the ssu comes in, fires a couple of shots, that gets them in a good mood, then no one comes through to help them, and it just gets worse, that's bad, but do we have a real strategy, does europe have a strategy, are we going to say that the west is not going to let russia continue, that they're going to be serious, i don't think the west has been serious, that's why putin keeps coming, sparta is a republican from indiana, there are three swing states around there, wisconsin, michigan and... pennsylvania, that could determine the outcome of the presidential election if trump wins. by voting for the democratic presidential candidate kamala harris, you are voting for war with russia, someone wants war with russia. if it is necessary, we will do it, but it is desirable not to allow it. she wants to bring back the draft, to call on your children to send them to a war that should not have happened. another presidential candidate, robert kennedy jr., has also issued a warning.

for biden as american president , this general assembly will be his last, and starmer,

heading to the states, of course, he was counting on meeting his potential replacements, but harris and trump are traveling around america, they have no time for ukraine or the fourth british prime minister in 3 years. valentin bogdanov, ivan udkin and aleftina sorokino, news from new york. the turkish newspaper adin likg. reports that it has evidence of a june meeting between representatives of the ukrainian special services and the leaders of the terrorist organization hayat tahrir-asham, banned in russia. let me remind you, as the newspaper wrote, the negotiations between the ukrainians and the terrorists took place in the syrian city of idlip on june 18 this year, the publication received photographs that confirm the fact of the meeting. the ukrainians asked that the extremists release chechen and georgian militants from their prisons to fight... in exchange, representatives of the kiev regime offered the terrorists 75 drones. the news received a great

deal of attention, and was cited by the russian foreign ministry. moscow strongly condemns the pressure exerted by western countries on russian media. this is how russian deputy foreign minister sergei rebkov commented on the sanctions imposed by the united states against the arti tv channel. the diplomat noted that russia intends to respond harshly to the restrictions. according to him, washington's actions confirm how much the culture of freedom of speech has degraded in the west. with details from evgeny petrukhin. yes, they are real media spies, working for russian special services and collecting information abroad. the state department, it seems, can no longer watch the american audience switch to arti, in particular anthony blin, and therefore is doing everything to cut off the oxygen russian media. conspiracy theories have already been put into play. as part of the year of expansion of capabilities, the russian government created

a unit within rt with cyber operational capabilities with links to russian intelligence. arti leadership had information about this enterprise. russian government entities incorporated the cyber capabilities of this unit into the structure of arti. in the spring of 2023 , it was focused primarily on covert operations of influence around the world. under the cover of arti, information about the produced through this unit they enter the russian special services, russian media, russian mercenary groups, etc. they kept trying to explain to western journalists how exactly russian media leaks information to russian special services, but they still couldn't answer a direct question at the state department, is this cyber unit built into rti still operating? i can't answer that. speaking

of fundraising, can you explain to a non-professional how this happens? you said everything is classified, the darknet is used? one of the reasons why so many countries in the world do not support ukraine to the extent that one might expect is the broad scope of artie's activities and its reach, propaganda, disinformation and lies

are spread to millions, if not billions of people around the world, that is , washington is afraid that look... it is very easy to practice freedom of speech when it is only the freedom of your speech and nothing more. well, in addition to the accusations of espionage it is very easy to promote freedom of speech anthony blinken accused artie of allegedly helping the military. american the secret services have found out that we are helping the front. we are doing it openly, idiots. send

a list of how much of what we have purchased and sent. we publish this regularly. in addition, artie, according to the state department, is interfering. not including artie in the list of foreign agents. but for american democracy, this is apparently not enough. so blinken suggested to allies and partners from great britain and canada to launch some kind of diplomatic campaign against artie. russian journalists were subjected to aggression from the united states of america. they were subjected to real

terrorist information attack as a corporation, and also in my personal capacity, this is not an accident, this is not a mistake, this is a chain of planned actions, this is an attack on freedom of speech, this is an attack on the profession of a journalist, this is an attack on human dignity, allegedly spying, in addition supplying the front, and most importantly undermining us democracy, when do arti employees have time for all this, they still have reports, broadcasts, despite... all these kinds of accusations, despite the sanctions that have already been imposed against rashi today, against a number of our colleagues, they continue to be watched, they continue to be watched, i personally, my foreign colleagues, are a witness to this, they continue to be watched in the middle east, they continue to be watched in latin america, their information continues

to be searched for, watched, read in countries, bypassing various curators,

tas and today maintains the continuity of the best traditions, is a real forge of personnel for new generations of journalists, dynamically developing as required by

the modern digital era. well, and also vladimir putin appointed participants special operations of hero of russia artur orlov, the new chairman of the board of the movement of the first. artur orlov is 35 years old, he is the commander of the tank war of 90. the role of media in a multipolar world is the main topic of the brics media summit, which is taking place these days in the capital, more than 60 media outlets from 45 countries are represented, and how the west is trying to manipulate information in its interests is discussed in detail, and undesirable press is threatened with sanctions. anna voronina studied all the statements. more than 150 heads and representatives of information structures from 47 countries of the world

gathered here in moscow today for the brics media summit. and the main goal of the meeting is to increase the role of media from the commonwealth countries in supporting the construction of a multipolar world, especially against the backdrop of pressure from the west and its information tales. what is happening today? today , western media are telling brazilians about the scary russians. today, western media are scaring africans with the chinese, for this, africans and chinese and russians and brazilians must talk to themselves without intermediaries, you understand, we must remove western media conglomerates are on the path of communicating with each other, and everyone is ready for this, because only we can tell each other the truth, well , the media, as an expression of the interests of their societies, of course, should help their countries build a new, fair, multipolar world, and the role of the media in this should grow. brics grew out of a forum for the media, the initiator of which was the chinese xinhua agency back in 2015. its representatives today declared the importance of strengthening cooperation

brics countries specifically through the media. the brics media also have a special mission. they want to support this bright future. we are ready to work together with all our colleagues to make our voice heard, to work on reforming the print media and to tell stories about our common achievements. at the first session of the summit , issues were raised about pressure on the media by western countries, for example, maria zakharova cited the persecution of russian journalists in the united states and emphasized that this could happen today any journalist from any country. our silence is unacceptable, everything that is happening today these days with russian journalists with russian media structures, the attack that the collective west is making on them, can...

artificial intelligence technologies, with the help of which fake news is produced, which are used as a tool for disinformation, which is a significant challenge for the world. the most important thing, in my opinion, is to get reliable information and get trustworthy sources of information. this is important for journalists, also

it is important that there is an opportunity to verify information, and for this news agencies must cooperate with each other. the organizers of the forum stated that today it is important to share developments in the fight against false information within the framework of the brics countries in order to more effectively resist pressure from the west. only by joint efforts will media corporations be able to create a safe information space. anna voronina, dmitry shevelev, maxim devitaikin, daria leonova, vesti. more than 300 iconic works of belarusian artists, whose art has become world heritage. this is a large-scale contemporary project of the russian museum and the national art museum of the republic of belarus. the exhibition is part of the program of the international forum of united cultures. of course, a special place in these relations belongs to the heads of the staff of our museums, our national museums and galleries.

and a special attitude.

right on the facades of multi-story buildings, artists from all over the world literally put their hand to them. unusual paintings of the gallery our correspondent elena belyaeva also visited. everyone from young to old is now getting involved in the art in the modern microdistrict, because their houses are now real works of art. fifty murals were painted on the facades by artists from eleven countries. the omsk art festival, you are just space. ends beautifully. a unique open-air museum, officially opened, people from all corners of omsk are now flocking to see the work of art. the images depict motifs of ecology, mercy, modern technologies, even the beloved omsk hawk, to the delight of hockey fans , adorns one of the facades. and this is the largest mural in siberia, its area

is almost... 900 km, it was created by an artist from novokuznetsk, here folk wisdom is encrypted in a special font , live a century, learn a century, every day is a new lesson, home is where they are waiting and family is a place of power, modern microdistrict is a place of power, now for all local residents, on holidays they participate with their entire families, this raises the status of the district and the city, but this is my opinion, to another level, really some space, to congratulate the amechi on the opening of a unique... open-air art gallery , the governor of the omsk region vitaly khotsenko, the head of the presidential administration for public projects of russia sergey novikov came. we must thank our president of our country vladimir vladimirovich putin for the wonderful initiative, for the fund of presidential cultural initiatives, which helps finance such projects. fifty murals in the moderna microdistrict, and the same number throughout the city. the amechi themselves chose the places where the graffiti will be placed.

end of june in the very. in the city center on the red road.
