conference. we pay a lot of attention to the technical re-equipment of the army and navy. we are talking about both the modernization and improvement of the tactical and technical characteristics of weapons and equipment in service, as well as the prospects for developing new high-tech models, including taking into account the experience gained by our troops during a special military operation. troops will no longer receive individual weapons, but weapons for destroying armored vehicles, aviation, enemy detection and counter-battery systems, communication control systems, and, of course, unmanned aircraft systems different types, from strategic and heavy to serial models of modern high-precision small ultra-small, and these are reconnaissance aircraft, strike complexes, patrol, counter-battery, sapper complexes, miners and... at the same time

, the president noted that no matter how perfect the weapons systems are, their effectiveness directly depends on qualified personnel, so the key task of the authorities at the moment is to staff the army and navy with trained personnel. highly qualified crews and crews are needed, then we need to have people who are ready to work on this equipment, the efficiency of its use will be right behind...

society's demands on the government are growing and governors are expected not only to work in the interests of the country and fulfill obligations, but also to have a constant dialogue with the people. with these words, vladimir putin addressed the heads of russian regions elected during the single voting day today. the president emphasized that the level of support received by the leaders indicates a high level of trust from the population. the president separately thanked voters of border regions for their position and strength of spirit.

the success of their implementation will largely depend on how the work is organized in the regions. the invested resources should bring maximum benefit to people. and of course, i expect that you will keep all issues related to the implementation of national projects under your personal control. the governor of st. petersburg alexander beglov is joining the dialogue. he was re-elected to this post. the northern capital attracts tourists. the city is growing. the most important task is to develop infrastructure. as never before, and the aggression of our enemies could not and will not be able to disrupt our unity, to work for the benefit of st. petersburg and its citizens, to develop the city, this is a great honor and a great responsibility, in such a large and big job anything can happen, i know that you and be critical of yourself, so look at

everything that has been done, everything that has failed, the main thing is to do, why analyze, please, everything must be done to justify the trust of petersburgers, leningrad. crimea is in touch, having returned to russia forever. sergey aksyonov has been leading the region all these years, during this time life on the peninsula has completely changed. you can count on us in any difficult situation, together we will win, that is, full trust and support for the armed forces. crimea is with you, you did a lot for crimea, and accordingly for the whole country, strengthening, jokingly, i will say, soviet power in crimea, strengthening. russian origin, well, crimeans, as the practice of recent years has shown, our newest common history, korenchans are still people of a special leaven, it is felt that loyalty to the fatherland and fortitude, incredible

courage are passed on from generation to generation. alexey besprozvannykh became the governor of the kaliningrad region. millions of tourists discovered the western outpost of russia. the region has a special significance for security of the entire country. kaliningrad region. western outpost, kaliningraders asked me to convey to you words of gratitude for the special attention and special attitude towards our region, for kaliningraders this is very important, we must strive to ensure that this is not only our outpost fortress on the western borders of the fatherland, but also that the kaliningrad region is organically integrated into the life of the entire country, so that it feels that this, that it is... part of a large state, therefore we must do everything to ensure that not there were no barriers to the movement of people, at the end putin once again addresses the winners of the elections, reminding them of the expectations of the residents, of how much depends on their work. you understand what responsibility for people

lies on your shoulders, i hope that your work will be effective, you will treat it informally, with heart, with soul. with the understanding that the lives of millions of our fellow citizens depend on your actions, and on your work, on its quality. and among the most important issues that were raised at the meeting was the future of the far east, what was laid down for its development in the past, now it is necessary to use it to the maximum. the heads of regions have intense work ahead, the tasks have been set by the president, victory in the elections is a vote of confidence of the residents, which is certainly coming.

potential third world war, but does it have real opportunities for this and should play almost a key role in why such loud statements are made right now - maria petrashko found out, maria, hello, hello alexey, or maybe they want to keep their own in good shape citizens? if nato bases are being built somewhere, it means that it is profitable for someone. the baltic emirates have threatened russia more than once, but... they could not go further than threats, because the capabilities and simply the number of armed forces are incomparable. 7,700 estonian soldiers against a million-strong russian army, it even sounds absurd, but in total, the entire army of the baltic countries is about 50 thousand soldiers, and there would be someone to recruit from, in the same

lithuania and latvia, the only residents left are pensioners, corrupt politicians and fugitive opposition. estonia's military capabilities, and how and others, the north. members of the alliance, but especially estonia is very limited in the twenty-second year estonia bought six american launchers, which... can be used to launch various types of missiles at a maximum range of up to 300 km, but these are only six launchers, but nato has its own plan, today our long-range strike assets are fully taken into account in nato's plans, and nato tells us that we must take care of certain targets on russian territory and that is when they can arrive in estonia and take the following steps. previously , it was assumed that all 700 estonian soldiers would have to hold out for at least 10 days until

nato arrived in the event of a military conflict. but apparently, everyone understands that the nimble estonians may not last for 10 minutes. the estonian general emphasized that the new nato instructions are a fundamental change for the country's military doctrine. firstly, it is assumed that estonia will be ready to conduct not only defensive, but offensive operations, not everyone understands what kind of operations, but in all likelihood, these are missile strikes deep into the russian territory along the russian estonian border, secondly, that the arrival of reinforcements from other members of the alliance will occur much earlier, that is, not within 10 days, possibly within literally a few days, apparently, to speed up the transfer of soldiers near the russian border , a military base was opened in estonia, with a capacity of up to... estonian nato servicemen, the construction of a military resort in the forest cost estonian taxpayers 21

million euros. at the same time, estonia itself is among the top ten eu countries with high inflation. recently , food prices in the country have increased by 20%. estonians have become less likely to visit hairdressers, restaurants and car services, local media write. in general, latvia and estonia have become the leaders in europe in terms of industrial production decline. estonian industry has fallen by almost 5%. but will estonians and other european citizens protest, being intimidated by the mythical russian threat? as a result of all these threats and turbulences, civil societies in european countries will be put into state of affect, they will not be able to react adequately, i mean protests against the policy that the european union is pursuing towards russia, china and other countries. a whole herd of hares is being killed here. will the citizens of the baltic states be happy if they are used as a living fence against three in the event of a large-scale military conflict with

russia, no one in the country of advanced democracy will ask them. estonia, latvia, lithuania are just a palazzard for the placement of nato infrastructure, they even have little relation to the european union, the european union pays them for russophobia pays them for being the first to fall, what is called a line of defense. working off money from washington's orders , european officials diligently declared the baltic sea an internal sea of ​​nato in the winter, they plan to throw sea mines at it, now finland and estonia want to push the russian fleet out of the baltic waters, they are even ready to close the gulf of finland. they are talking about the possibility of, say, a blockade of the kaliningrad region, that's what you mentioned, attempts to block the baltic sea ​​and prevent the russian baltic fleet from using this water area, and there are indeed scenarios in

which a conflict could arise on the borders of lithuania and belarus. it seems to me that this scenario is quite hypothetical, but at least for now, since it is with an attack on belarus that the third world war could begin, they believe in minsk, but does estonia or the united states need the war itself now, or is the task still different? an appeal. to the baltic states to become another outpost on the way so so-called aggressive russia, this is a trick: it is necessary to launch an arms race on the territory of the european union, such as has already been launched in the united states. the united states scared its congressmen enough, they allocated money, now in the states the military-industrial complex is being restructured, which, let me remind you, does not belong to the state, but to private individuals, now it is being restarted to produce a larger volume of modern weapons, this is this success story, in quotes, in the european union they want to repeat, thereby

the european union, specifically germany, wants to get out of the economic crisis it got into by refusing russian energy resources and refusing to cooperate with russia in general. now at least the understandable nonsense of lithuanian prime minister šimonytė and emmanuel macron with an independent defense policy in the european union, which is completely dependent on washington, because sometimes threatening is much more profitable than fighting. maria petrashko and the baltic horror stories. american tabloids today reported on the alleged mining of one of the cars in a new york parking lot. where in a few hours donald trump's large-scale election rally will begin. the police have not confirmed the bomb threat, but the situation, as you might guess, is still very tense, since neither his supporters nor his opponents rule out new assassination attempts on the republican, although the latter is trying to turn everything around as if he himself is to blame. our special correspondent in the us valentin bogdanov has the details. those who, leaving the investigation a chance

to get to the truth, took ryan westlerout alive. donald trump decided to personally thank nine martin county sheriff's deputies, the republican candidate invited them to his place in maralaga to shake everyone's hand. those who arrested raut brought trump a special gift, handcuffs, which they put on the shooter. each of the police officers even signed them.

they think that racing cars are dangerous, no, they think that bull riding is very scary, no, being president, that's a dangerous activity, and we must ensure the safety of people. biden, and safety depends directly on him, promised to do this even after the shooting in pennsylvania, but in florida it almost happened again. in the end, two presidents, a republican and a democrat, who had not spoken since the debate, finally called each other. i have to say that president biden called me, he was very nice, we had a very nice conversation, kamala called me just recently, it was very nice, it was very pleasant, but what is really on biden and harris' minds is easiest to figure out by listening to the current white house press secretary, karine jeanpierre. she does this every day in her job and never

ceases to amaze her. it's only been 2 days since the moment when...

you have to be responsible for the words you speak and for your behavior, especially if you were president and want to be president again. the story that spread on the internet about haitians catching and eating dogs and cats was first picked up by trump's running mate jay. then the republican candidate himself repeated it at the debate with harris. now the democrats are trying to present the situation in such a way that because of the republicans, life has become unbearable, and springfield is one step away from civil war. kamala harris and her allies in the media have tried to silence people so that they don't dare complain about how life has gotten worse in their own country. but no one is going to air it out to disperse the stifling atmosphere of hatred. the techniques have long been tested. the same

thing happened when cnn simply took trump's phrase "bloodbath" out of context. republican. in two days they cobbled together what was there. what the media is saying about this . so, the first thing you would find out

is that trump was shot by a trump supporter, which is quite logical, the guy is so strong loved him so much that he brought a rifle to the golf course and tried to kill him. i mean, that's pretty much how it works. it's like putin blowing up his own gas pipeline. he's so angry that he attacks himself. so there's a potential version of...

an international platform bringing together leaders from all over the world has opened in st. petersburg. in his opening remarks, the russian leader noted that women's participation in global processes is essential for

building a multipolar, fair and free world. this year the forum brought together representatives of more than 120 countries, what they talk about, dmitry akimov listened to. the forum of hopes that come true, that's what this event is called, is here. is taking place for the fourth time, but this year it has gone beyond just the eurasian in the tauride palace of st. petersburg representatives of 120 countries, who call each other nothing but friends. over 3 days, the friends, that is, the forum participants, will hold more than a hundred different events, which they divided into five main topics: they discuss ecology, new technologies, preserving cultural diversity, and, of course, health.

traditionally , the head of state vladimir putin addressed the forum participants with a greeting. the forum provides an opportunity to show and tell a wide female audience, the public, the female community of the planet that russia is an open, hospitable country, that we highly value dialogue, trust and friendship, that we respect the diversity and originality of the states of the peoples of the world. great interest in the eurasian.

one of the main topics of ensuring sustainable growth of cities due to modern technologies. moscow mayor sergei semenovich sobyanin pays great attention to the development of the innovation agenda in the city. the city has a system of support for innovators. there are technology parks, there is a system of financial and non -financial support measures, which is implemented by the moscow government. we have support for startups, ventures. and patents,

and how the system of support for innovations is organized will also be a subject of discussion with the participants at this forum. best practices of urban economy experts discussed at the plenary session, which was attended by representatives from lebanon, senegal, kyrgyzstan and turkey. the guests of the form noted many innovations that have been successfully implemented in the russian capital. i am 40 years old. i regret that i only now found myself in moscow. this is a unique city that combines modernity and rich history. three things that i will definitely recommend to the ankara administration upon arrival. the first is electric buses, an excellent means of transport for preserving the environment. the second is a smart parking system. in fankar, a big problem with them. and the third thing that simply fascinated me is that there are flowers hanging on the bridges here. why is it beautiful? the city immediately becomes smart, cozy and comfortable.

russia supports pakistan's application to join brics, and also intends to develop bilateral cooperation with the islamic republic, implementing joint projects in such areas as energy, metallurgy, logistics, and many others. these statements were made today in islamabad, where deputy prime minister alexei overchuk arrived on a visit. with whom exactly he held negotiations and what agreements were signed as a result, our special correspondent, leyla alnazarova, will tell. logistics connectivity in the sco region, as well as the development of the international north-south transport corridor, were the key topics that deputy prime minister alexei averchuk discussed with his counterpart, deputy prime minister of pakistan and head of the country's foreign ministry, ishaq dar, during the first day of his visit to pakistan. we are interested in developing railway

communications and creating. infrastructure that will facilitate trade between our countries, now we have very good examples of cargo transportation through iran, azerbaijan, turkmenistan and afghanistan. also on the agenda is cooperation in energy, agriculture, information technology and trade expansion. alexey overchuk noted that by the end of 2023 , trade turnover between our countries exceeded $ 1 billion, but this is a modest figure, given the potential of the two states, for understanding the population of pakistan is more than 240 million people, from the positive aspect of bilateral trade. the deputy prime minister noted, that 80% of mutual settlements are made in national currencies and currencies of friendly countries. first of all, we are talking about yuan. in 2022 , this figure was slightly less than 20%. such dynamics indicate pakistan's great desire to trade with russia. we have great potential for developing relations in many aspects, despite the fact that russia is under sanctions. we have prospects for cooperation in agriculture. the second area is energy and oil. one of the important

areas is organization. russia welcomes pakistan's bid to join brics, the deputy prime minister said. overchuk, his colleague from khakdar, noted that this is another platform that will allow moscow and islamabad to develop bilateral relations. also today, a memorandum of understanding was signed between the st. petersburg international mercantile exchange and the pakistan mercantile exchange. of course, we are starting a major effort to organize an inter-exchange space between russia and the islamic republic of pakistan. we will exchange information, we will exchange care.
