the union state is becoming a major player in the global scientific and innovation system, and new unionrograms are entering orbit. in the twenty-eighth year, we are planning to launch a new promising russian-belarusian spacecraft, here is its layout, the spatial resolution when shooting will be significantly improved, plus there will be the possibility of stereo video shooting, that is, the possibility of shooting from one flight from several... angles, one might say , all space is union, this year is historic, because marina vasilevskaya conquered space, their hearts skipping a beat, together they watched the flight at the screens; during the forum , the lucky ones saw the first belarusian cosmonaut in vitebsk. it is symbolic that our flight took place with commander oleg davidsky, our fellow countryman, and of course, it was much more pleasant and heartwarming that russia and belarus were together even in space. the forum is very important for us, because for us. and this is 71 regions of russia, the concern is developing a network of multi-brand stores, two of which operate in yekate

number of reforms, to unify ukrainian legislation in accordance with the legislation of the european union, it is possible to discuss various topics regarding the protection of national producers, and also to overcome those obstacles that are called hungary in our country, right? hungary also put forward 11 demands to ukraine. some requirements are called absolutely... unacceptable, well , we will talk about that too, let's probably start with this date, what we have to do in the next 5 years in order to really become a member of the eu, well, in addition to certain technical things, well, and the second question, to what extent or which date do you consider more realistic, more acceptable from the point of view of our realities, regarding the accession of ukraine. to the european union, well, the first question, the first thing we have to do is to end the war, if the war continues on ukrainian territory, there will simply be negotiations on joining the european union, but there will be no accession, so let's not live again there can be no illusions that we can fight and be members of the

we have the postal workers union, the united auto workers union, seven major labor unions are now standingith this movement. that means a change has come. this is no longer the labor movement of george meany when people said it was the afl-cia. we are going to have a new day in labor where the labor movement, workers, stand with all of those who are oppressed. stand with palestine. stand with venezuela. stand against imperialism. they said we are going to disorganization you -- disorganize you. you won't merge when this rally ends sisters and brothers, nothing they can do will stop us from assembling and marching because that's our right. free palestine. >> free palestine. >> give it up for brian from answer. our next speaker is a special guest. she joined us there day one of this genocide. she is a mother, actress, and activist, give it up for susan sarandon. >> we are here today to reject the normalization of genocide. in 2090 days, the death toll surpasseses 39,000. and according to lancet will reach as much as 186,000 deaths. 90,000 injured. 10,300 women killed. 15,700 children killed.

thank unions and i'm looking for the cameras in the back of of the room -- you may not be a union member, but thank unions for the five-day work week. ! ! >> for the eight-hour work day. thank unions for sick leave and paid family leave and vacation time. [cheers and applause] because the fact is unions helped build america's middle class. and when unions are strong, america is strong! [cheers and applause] so a.f.t., ours is a fight for the future and ours is a fight for freedom. in this moment across our nation, we witness a full-on attack on hard won, hard fought freedoms. while you teach students about democracy and representative government, extremists attack the sacred freedom to vote. while you try to create safe and welcoming places where our children can learn, extremists attack our freedom to live safe from gun violence. they have the nerve to tell teachers to strap on a gun in the classroom while they refuse to attack tackle commonsense gun safety laws. and while you teach students about our nation's past, these extremists attack the freedom to learn and acknowledge our nation

itself, and in my opinion, the drama is that in recent decades the european union, european countries european political and public organizations, they were built on the primacy of tolerance and respect for everyone's opinion, this excessive liberal approach, it became dominant in europe and in fact it is not camille fau, there is a way to cut someone off, not to give someone a word, even when... people say some strange things, and europe has gone so far in this tolerance, in this liberality, that it does not really see or does not want to admit that in the actions of orbán, especially in the last month, it gives two years before this, clearly it is not a different opinion, but treason, betrayal of everything that is written in all the documents of the european union concerning political issues of... betrayal of all democratic principles and betrayal of the common position of the european union regarding dictatorships regarding the russian federation, regarding china, iran and so on. this is betrayal. and unfortunately, the european union has forced itself into the whole scheme of una

the african union has been criticized for allowing such summits to continue. however, observers say the ultimate decision. on participation in these summits lies with individual countries, one of the states commented on um like a political discourse with different word leaders and this is something up to the states themselves and up to the leaders of africa to to deal with on their own premises on the premise on the their own premise on their own time and basically the way they want to act upon it because the sovereign right of the states, but the african union has no authority on any of these actions. the african union as a organization only has an authority on what happens between the organization and other parts of the world. at least 13 foreign countries have a military presence in africa, the us and its allies such as france, the uk, germany, italy and belgium make up a large chunk of the countries with a military presence on the content. these military installations are more to advance the interests of their own countries rather than contributing to afri

, because otherwise this country will simply remain outside the european union by the union, by the way, i keep saying this, if you remember, even when i started... this negotiated process, they will say that we will have to, we will have difficult conversations with our neighbors, there is no need for any illusions, now it all looks not very serious, simply because we, we are at war, uh, a country that is at war, nobody will accept into any european union, our task is to continue these negotiations, to close one chapter after another, what will happen after that , how these negotiations will not end, i do not guarantee you, republic north macedonia submitted an application to join the european union in 2004, negotiations began in 2000, which, well, practically, not on the 22nd, 21st, because the neighbors of north macedonia, initially greece in connection with the constitutional by name, and then bulgaria in connection with the north macedonian idea of ​​history, blocked this process, a macedonian journalist can in a television studio in... skopje make exactly the same speech as you ma

, the soviet union over there . the remaining soviet union is the russian federation, and indeed, if really wanted to conduct real negotiations, he would obviously find ways to conduct them, because he is the head of a nuclear power, he is somehow counted on, he is somehow feared, if he wants to sit down at the transition table, as the west says, for a constructive conversation, he will be talked to, the question is whether they will talk to us in russia, even if we want the so- called constructive... if from the point of view of the russian leadership, we are not the soviet union, but simply some small separatist territory of this soviet union, the task of which is simply to say what they say, to carry out what they say, just some kind of ukrainian ssr, well, this is altogether strange, if i consider myself the president of the soviet union to pay attention to this union republic, well, remember lithuania in 1900 there in the 90th year. announced the restoration of its independence, and the first thing the soviet union did was to impose an economic blockade on lithuania and then dep

also , one of the leaders of the european union, mr.ichel, responded to these statements and letters. he stated that this is not orbán's role, that orbán de facto... has no right to speak on behalf of the european union, and in general, as we see, there is a certain position of certain members of the european parliament, certain political forces that say that hungary in general should now be excluded from the leadership in the european union, which it accepted from july 1 this year and will actually continue until december 31, again , this year. mr. vitaly, orban continues to promote russian narratives, he writes letters, one, two, three, he says that the war must be ended somehow, that there is no need to quarrel with russia, that it is still necessary to establish diplomatic relations with the state, the occupier , that is, orbán does not stop, criticism of him, respectively. also does not stop, and all this can clearly, even lead to a discussion regarding hungary's removal from leadership in the european union. why is orbán doing thi

constitution and the union. they took no position on slavery. their standard, was a guy called john belk who had been governor of tennessee and a u.s. senator, his partner was sam houston. and of course abraham lincoln is nominated in chicago. i should mention too, the constitution union party had their convention in baltimore. the spring of 1860, early summer there were three major party conventions in baltimore, which in itself is quite interesting. i read the proceedings from those conventions and they are extremely eventful, fistfights breaking out, pickpockets having a field day. perhaps some parallel to today's time, sadly, should we say they tend to be quite colorful events and heavily covered by the media. bell and douglas and lincoln were all unionist candidates, breckenridge was not a unionist candidate. breckenridge carried maryland just a hair above bell. i think rick and rich had a 7.4% of the total vote which of course at the time, unfortunately were white men voting. bell had 47.2% and with dougla

this is lincoln and the union, federal government's effort to empower black men to join the union army. it is going to be an alarmist source of additional manpower and of course the confederates when they learn about this were furious, they threatened to execute any black prisoners in their white officers. so what we discover is, once black men are properly trained and equipped, they fight every bit as well as white shoulders. of course they are not paid as much because of the terrible discrimination. and they are not treated well as well -- at all. but they are just under 190,000 african-american men serve in the union army, and about 8700 of those from maryland in six regimens, and two maryland, black soldiers of maryland were awarded the medal of honor, congressional medal of honor. christian flee red perhaps being the best known, the other escapes me at the moment but it is pretty impressive, i think. so, this again shows i think the agency that certainly the black men seized and sold opportunities to change their situations and they took advantage of them in the same way that fugi

of the union, my task as the head of the union is to unite everyone into a single whole, which in generalme and consider my candidacy, well, i repeat, in 10 years this has never happened, that is , people came who are already walking there with a stick that is 90 years old, but they still come to support, and those young people who really believe in success, victory, with whom we speak the same language, that’s it. .. now also in our plans is the revival of the actors’ guild, which, in general, last year , one day it was restructured and transferred to the union of graphic artists, and after that it just somehow closed, imagine now the belarusian actors, they are outside the guild, but not in the union, then there is somehow, well, something that was unjustifiably not forgotten. now we are already creating a section, yes, well, let’s call it a section, a department for now, well, then we will transform it all into a guild, we will have a guild of actors, that’s because we are very actively involved in promoting artists both in our country and in general abroad, we have created a large fil

the union state was created for people, not for some big ones.te in the calendar of the state of belarus celebrated independence day. this year is especially large-scale since the liberation of the country from the nazi invaders 80 years ago. on a historically significant day in the fate of belarus, which has become a symbol of freedom and peace , truly reliable friends are nearby. among the many congratulations, among the first to the fraternal belarusian people. from the president of russia, vladimir putin. the russian leader noted that exactly 80 years have passed since the day when the red army, in the ranks of which our fathers and grandfathers fought shoulder to shoulder, liberated minsk from the nazi invaders. it is important that the bonds of friendship and mutual assistance, forged in the harsh times of war, today remain a reliable basis for the development of relations of strategic partnership and alliance between our countries. russia and belarus interact fruitfully. on various directions effectively coordinates efforts in countering e

, the european union sends out its proposals, every country that is part of the european union has proposals, and it is clear that those countries that are far from ukraine, there are the countries of the iberian peninsula, let's say portugal and spain, they have less towards us issues than in central european countries, on the other hand, they are less political. involved in the russian-ukrainian war, because it is very far from them, and when even our politicians recklessly say that ukraine protects everyone in europe and in nato from the russian federation, it is obvious that people living in madrid or lisbon , these statements have a different effect than on people who are in warsaw and budapest, but there are economic issues there, we already have ms. olga stefanychyna, congratulations ms. olga. congratulations vitalya, well, this is the beginning of negotiations on admission, if you are serious, how do you imagine the process itself, and how long should it take in an optimistic and pessimistic perspective, if the military circumstances are removed? well, the very beginning of the negot

so he was a guy that loved the union. he wanted the union. obviously to win. he wanted to be part of that triumphant effort. but he really seemed to favor a policy of conciliation. but the more he encountered enslaved people, he thought that in the end, anything that union did, whether it was on the battlefield or the home front, anything that they did, that might help bring about victory. that it was indeed justified. on october 15th, 1864, he wrote his wife from alabama. i have come to the conclusion that this is a just war. i have had an opportunity learn somethg of the hard institution of slavery. oh, how wicked and how cruel. i have conversed with a great many from all parts the south and that i've come into our lines for protection. and it has drawn tears from my eyes to listen to their sad story. what he writes here is repeated time and time and time again among literally of thousands of letters from union soldiers. there is nothing that makes union soldiers favor emancipate nation more than seeing slavery firsthand. this is one of many examples. others

the union state allocated funds for its implementation.ut preserving the history of the city above the bugam in the next story. we'll get to know each other soon, kalia kacelna chast. not enough, because the object preserves the history of medieval birch bark. by the way, life the monastery is connected with the legendary fortress, it is located on its territory. and the exposition of the museum of the memorial complex presents copies of paintings from the 19th century, which depict a temple together with a citadel under construction. the monastery was founded in 1604-605; the women's and men's monasteries were originally wooden, and already in 1624 they were built in stone. truly unique. a monument of history, architecture, the golden gate of berestia was called. literally, bernardines translates as the order of friars minor, an offshoot of the franciscan order. not named so in honor of the founder of the order, bernard of siena, who lived in the 14-15th century. the renovation will begin in the brest fortress of heroes memorial complex i

some are union workers.ave been left behind in states like michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania. that's why they say they want to park jd vance there. how does kamala harris speak to those people when those people say democrats have left them behind and they cite things like nafta? >> sure. i think that kamala harris and whoever her running mate is are going to have to talk a lot about a new vision of trade. and remember, this country is always going to trade with other countries. the question is will that trade be fair in a way that benefits communiies, workers, the environment, democracy itself. that's a big deal. the democrats really fell down on that during the clinton years. they got a little better during the obama years, buts there's simply no question that that has to be a part of her stump speech. the other thing to remember that kamala harris is actually somebody who has been to these states, who has been there talking to labor unions and talking to working class folks. i will remind you that her reco

no, but doubling down and working hard with the support of our downtown and union square ambassadors we are really changing the experience that people have when and come downtown but, you know, downtown can't be a place for retail it can't be a 9 to 5 has to be one of the to newest neighborhoods people live and work and play so we know a lot of great events how how many of you went to are going to first thursday that thursday? >> (clapping) how many of you love it when he close down the streets and bring people together in downtown? >> (clapping.) my budget investments includes more active and night life downtown and more opportunity to turn areas of the downtown into entertainment zones can you imagine buying a small beverage and hang 0 in the sunny plaza and century and enjoy yourselves and say hi and meet people we're creating an environment people want to be in places where this is activation and excitement and we'll be making more investment in actuating and bringing the culture and exciting experiences here to downtown san francisco. the other program we had that was extremely

they are unions for big business. here is another fact. against gigantic multinational corporations, an individual worker has zero power. it is only when americans stand together in democratic unions that we win real improvements on wages, benefits and working conditions. companies like amazon are bigger than most national economies. amazon is valued over $2 trillion. that makes it the 14th largest economy in the world. what is sickening is that amazon has abandoned any national allegiance. amazon's sole focus is on lending its own pockets. remember, elites have no party. elites have no nation. their loyalty is to the balance sheet and the stock price at the expense of the american worker. in my office in washington, d.c. i can see the united states capital from my window. i see well-intentioned people arrived in washington and get eaten up by an unforgiving system. the responsibility to average americans takes a backseat. the objective now becomes survival. fundraiser after fundraiser. corporate consultants hedge every initiative. the hel

so he was a guy that loved the union. he wanted the union. obviously to win. he wanted to be part of that triumphant effort. but he really seemed to favor a policy of conciliation. but the more he encountered enslaved people, he thought that in the end, anything that union did, whether it was on the battlefield or the home front, anything that they did, that might help bring about victory. that it was indeed justified. on october 15th, 1864, he wrote his wife from alabama. i have come to the cion that this is a just war. something of the hardnity learn institution of slavery. oh, how wicked and how cruel. i have conversed with a great many from all parts the s and that i've come int lines for protection. and it has drawn tears from my eyes to listen to their s st what he writes here is repeated time and time and time again among literally of thousands of letters from union soldiers. there is nothing that makes union soldiers favor emancipate nation more than seeing slavery firsthand. this is one of many examples. others thought that taking war to civilian popu

of writers of belarus, member of the union of writers of the union state of belarus and russia, member of journalists, winner of the golden bison competition of journalistic excellence, community of journalists of russia and belarus, fellow friends, laureate of the golden letter award. vladimir alekseevich, belarus in the shanghai cooperation organization. the circle of supporters and allies is expanding, that is, we are reaching common ideas not only in the space of the union state, and the eurasian space is much wider. and with what priorities does belarus enter the shanghai cooperation organization and what? lukashenko lends his shoulder, i think that many initiatives, belarus has always been and the locomotive of integration processes, will come from minsk, well, the second direction is the economy, as always, the belarusian president cannot do without solving simply urgent problems, the life problems of ordinary citizens and belarus and russia, strictly speaking, are a union state, which means the economy, a huge market, shanghai organizing cooperation is just a market, secondly..

this is about space, which has been ours, our union, for a long time.t programs, in work on common products for example, optoelectronic and radio-technical equipment for measuring trajectories and photographing surfaces was handed over, and technologies were developed for covering spacecraft. we plan to continue concrete work on the implementation of joint import substitution projects. technological sovereignty and economic directions ensuring the achievement of the security goals of our state, in connection with the so-called sanctions, and more of them were introduced against russia than against anyone else in the world, 16 thousand different ones, they create certain problems, of course, we see that. we feel, but they create for us certain opportunities for development, where we have lost previously existing competencies, we quickly restore them, and where they were not there, we need them, we create them. interregional cooperation is a strong point, as confirmed by regional forums, in more than seven dozen russian regions.

the soviet union, the soviet union remained over there on the other side of the border.oviet union is the russian federation, and indeed, if vladimir putin really wanted to hold real negotiations, he would obviously find ways to hold them, because he is the head of the nuclear states, they count on him one way or another, they fear him one way or another, if he wants to sit down at the transition table, as the west says, for a constructive conversation, they will talk to him, the question is whether they will talk to... us in russia , even if we want a so-called constructive conversation, if from the point of view of the russian leadership we are not the soviet union, but just some small separatist territory of this soviet union, the task of which is simply to say what they say, to carry out what they say, just some the ukrainian ssr, well, it is generally strange, if i consider myself the president of the soviet union, to pay attention to this union republic, well, remember. in 1900, in the 90th year, lithuania announced the restoration of its independence, and the firs

the european union will create a european defense union, and that time has come, said ursula fondelain, and as one of the steps a european anti-aircraft shield will be created, let's hope that one day ukraine will join it, and maybe very soon, and also ursula fondelain sent a very an important message to hungary, prime minister of hungary viktor orban, let's listen, if there is an opportunity and a direct speech about it. russia is betting on the softness of europe and the west, and some in europe are playing along with it. two weeks ago, the prime minister of an eu country visited moscow. this so-called peace mission was nothing more than a pacification mission. it was an overt pacification mission. two days later, putin's planes targeted a children's hospital. this strike was not a mistake, it was a signal, a signal from the kremlin, which makes the blood freeze in the veins. to all of us, and europe will stand with ukraine, as long as ukraine needs it victory, funderlajen stressed and added that this is our message, our european signal to putin, that's how powerful the speech was to

hey want to unionize.on, they are going to take money out of your paycheck. >> yeah, but the benefits we are going to get, it makes up for way more than what they are going to take. >> reporter: the 19- and 23-year-old brothers are lobbying these tradespeople to vote yes. what is it about your generation that is more interested in unions? >> we seem to really care about fairness and equality in the workplace. we all want to get paid a good amount of money for the work we are putting in. >> reporter: supporters for organized labor polls indictate a high not seen since the 1960s. strongest among generation z, people in their teens and 20s. unions have been out of favor for decades. 20% of workers belonged to one in 1983, but by 2020, that number had fallen by half. even as membership drops, union support is rising. 71% of americans approve of them. >> unions had a difficult time making inroads in the south. >> reporter: university of texas associate professor adam cobb has studied unions. why do you think a

they wanted to be able to say we have union lettuce, our union is the teamsters.nd the workers did not want the teamsters. a lot of them ended up in jail in december 1970 in salinas. another one of his personal sacrifices that was very powerful for workers. the lettuce boycott was never as effective partly because if you think about it, grapes are a luxury item. lettuce was more of an essential and much harder to differentiate, how do you know what is union lettuce and what is not? there was a lettuce boycott for a while. it did not succeed as well. host: deborah is in oneonta new york. thank you for calling. caller: hello. first thing, miriam pawel, i want to thank you for your book. i was division council leader for -- counties and union steward for the only onto department of labor office between the 70's and the 1990's. i had the great fortune of attending a convention whereby i met cesar chavez. and i actually cracked him up because i asked him, is it just red wine grapes we have to boycott? can we still drink white wine? that cracked him up. host: what was h

and this does not only apply, as we know it, to the former territory of the soviet union.applies to all of central and eastern europe. i would even say. that's all of the european order, because poland's accession to nato and the eu also changed international politics, he wants to destroy it all, and we protect it all. this exhibition will be in lviv, or maybe it will also go somewhere else in europe. i have a different philosophy, we need symbolic places. our center in gdańsk is located on the former territory. we have a lot of graveyards after a lot of warriors, we have a lot of negative symbols like that. we have few democratic places, the maidan is such an important place for europeans. it is very important for me that europeans came to lviv and saw that exhibition in the context of the city. and we know that today lviv is ukraine's window to the world, the world to ukraine, so my dream is that the political elites who travel through lviv to kyiv stop in lviv and realize what we are protecting right now. there is also the idea of ​​this exhibition, a very specific thin

here, again, the union of tehran's rightful workers union is a very good move. he did it, he brought the members to work and i was able to, but still part of that invoice is not issued, and more importantly, if we want it, we have the right to it. the producer has the right of that farmer and our taxes and the whole chain to have transparency . there is electronic invoicing. this electronic invoicing can have transparency in the whole chain and the fruit is the same as our farmer has now. with a small profit , the so-called fruit reaches the hands of the major expositors, the small expositors can, with the percentage of profit that is 30-35%, the support organization and the decision-making board put it in the hands of the dear people. in your report, it was bought for 18 thousand tomans, and finally he wants to deliver the tomatoes to consumers about 2200. tomans, but he is selling tomatoes for 45,800 tomans, which was 39,800 tomans, and we met, god willing. we hope that as soon as possible , with the follow-up by the ministry of civil industry, especially the

that's what the european union wants _ there. that's what the european union wants to _ there.. what is the ask from the uk for stock keir starmer said we are not rejoining the european union, we are not rejoining the single european market and the customs union, the most important aspects of the european union so what is meant by the reset? we don't know. that's why i say that this is the start of a process. ideally, britain would make like much closer trade relationship that will be tricky. the european union has not changed its view that it does not want the uk cherry picking as the expression goes, getting the best bits of the eu but without all the burdens of the membership. this is the start of the process. we don't know what keir starmer wants, we know what keir starmer wants, we know in broad terms they want a better relationship but i also think that he is being very careful about dealing as a labour government calibrates expectations. yes we do want egg to limit any relationship there is a as to what can be achieved. there is a as to what can be achieved-— there is a

they would intimidate union leaders and union organizer was trying to keep them out. but really what they did is serve the muscle. right, for for carnegie and his managers. but in appalachia, in the south west virginia coalfields, the big one was baldwin fells, the baldwin felts detective agency. they were run and operated by a man named felts and his and his family. they were hired by the coal companies who also then with those local politicians, mine guards themselves and law enforcement. right. so you kind of have this kind of pseudo law enforcement that includes, again, these these private police forces. but again, they are not beholden a state. right. or to a government they are their own entity and they are being right by the mining companies themselves. certainly this can bleed. you know, i think you can understand how all of this can start going south pretty quickly. but with the mine guard system, this is something that that miners certainly hated it was it was something i mean they were constantly right if they tried to unionize or even if fell out of the gr

and not the teachers union if they're wise. well, because the the the are more powerful in numbers. their tenacity for fighting their kids. and so those just a couple of examples but yeah they weren't able to undo it in florida and for they even had 11% of their house democrats vote for universal school choice last year. that's not you know, that's hey i wish it was 80% 90% should be hundred percent. but. 11% is better than 0%. i'll take we can get let me get a few others and you know also formula fund the program but i'm in the purple i think so much. yes just wanted to i it really enjoyed your other book your previous book about school choice myths. and i'm wondering if you'll respond to another one that has come out since this explosion of school choice at the state level. and one particularly related to i used to work in florida politics. so this is of particular interest to me and it's this that the school choice vouchers are primarily benefiting families who are already enrolled in school choice programs. and i think the

not have. 91st year at the time of the fall of the soviet union.e end, the two countries that stalin occupied, the baltic states, became part of the european union. therefore, nato and the eu entered the former space of the soviet union. it was about stopping putin's actions to block a very specific road, so the ukraine conflict is a conflict, mr. putin, to your question, there is a certain paradox for me from the moment of the second invasion, from the moment... when the ukrainians defended their independence, the political elites also stayed in kyiv, to defend kyiv, for me, ukraine is a part of the european union in the sense of a political community. today, i cannot imagine any political speeches without the ukrainian voice. the problem is everyday life for people and the problem of formalities for admission. that is, let's say, everything is over, ukraine has fulfilled all the conditions, the european union, the commission, speak perfectly. only that international game can use one country to block everything. there are questions about how they

the soviet union understood that belarus was a little ahead of science, including the soviet union. coped with the difficult task of building a production facility that was fundamentally new for the republic, in reports from the central belarusian television of that period. all the most significant events that took place in the bssr. before the program, they were behind-the-scenes, we sat upstairs in the studio with headphones and, without looking, read story after story, and the commands, faster, stop, continue, tune in, they were just watching the behind-the-scenes film story, this was the very first release of the program at the time. but how the construction of a fundamentally new production facility, an oil refinery, began in the republic in 1958 was first reported by belarusian television. tv crews not only covered the construction of this plant, but also the development of this young city itself, from the moment of creation of the plant, from the moment of construction to its commissioning to the creation of the first first products. in its news programs, it covered its main

in relations with the european union of great britain, well if we are talking about ukraine, do younion that there will be no change in great britain's policy towards ukraine, there will be no change in great britain's approach to ukraine, the ministers of the tsiniv government visited ukraine several times, by the way, before all these elections, their position has always been what the government's position has been, they've always said that... they take this common position, and i think that these are absolutely obvious things, the importance of the british election is not in ukrainian support, in the role of great britain, because i think , that the role of great britain in world politics, thanks to brexit, thanks to the conservatives, has decreased quite significantly, and this should also be realized that if great britain were in the european union. and in these positions would support ukraine, the role of the european union was much greater serious and strong, the support was greater, because everyone here likes to say, oh, if great britain were in the european union, it would
