vladimir putin cited the example of spending on the american missile defense system.ut there is little point in this, because russia only with the creation of avangard missiles reduced investments in the pro system to nothing. let me remind you that the hypersonic combat unit avangard is an intercontinental missile, absolutely invulnerable. any air defense and missile defense systems, according to the president, this is an excellent example of how our defense industry should operate; the question was, of course, raised during the interview: and the main focus should be be focused on the information side of things. and one more question that always hangs in the air: the use of nuclear weapons. as the president stated, there should be no race between russia and the united states in this area. our triad , the nuclear triad, is more modern than any other triad, and we only have such triads, before the americans , in fact, but this does not mean that we should measure ourselves by the number of warhead carriers , but you need to know about it , and those who need it, i rep

vladimir putin does not face a major challenge.t paper, but his most vocal critics, his fiercest opponents, are either in exile or in prison, which kind of helps you to win what we expect to be a landslide. there have been reports that public service workers have been strongly encouraged to come out today, on day one of this election, to cast their votes. i mean, there are so many things to say about this election. vladimir putin dominates the airwaves, dominates the screens, on russian television, much more than any other candidate. so it will be no surprise, i think, when he is eventually declared the winner. 14 people have died in 0desa after a rushing missile strike. we can go straight to our eastern europe correspondent. i know this is a developing story and we're getting things may buy mini about what more you know? just things may buy mini about what more ou know? , , ., ., things may buy mini about what more ou know? , ., ., ., ., .,, you know? just a moment ago i was checkin: you know? just a moment ago i was checking the

strong support for vladimir putin by citizens is. ot be weak, a strong president means a strong russia, putin is our advantage, and citizens, taking into account the challenges of vladimir vladimirovich’s previous tenure as president, have united around him. noted the transparency of the elections and the absence of violations, as well as the convenience of the electronic voting format. this is a great example for both africa and all over the world, he added. we believe that this is a great achievement, especially considering the current conditions, what is happening all over the world. western countries, united states. one might think that the situation is complex and ambiguous, but you did it all, and we take our hats off. we applaud because this is truly a great achievement. in full compliance with russian law. immediately afterwards they headed to red square. historical date: tenth anniversary of the return of crimea to russia. all four presidential candidates are on the main stage of the country. not long ago , the dpr, lpr, kher

vladimir putin.ve as the bbc�*s russia editor working there, saying things which the kremlin must absolutely hate, from time to time. over the next year or so, will you be able to talk out as freely as you have, or will you have to, do you think, be more careful? vladimir putin used to talk a lot about stability, but there's no stability now or predictability. so who knows what's going to happen here over the next few months, what new laws will be passed. but i think one thing is clear — that having secured this fifth presidential term, vladimir putin will be determined to cement his power, his authority. there were some incredible headlines in the papers here after the election. "russia is putin", i read in one newspaper today, and that's the message that will be sent out across the country. i tell you what reporting from russia is like now, john, it's...it�*s like walking a tightrope over a minefield. those are the conditions in which we work and we try within those conditions to report as accurate

as vladimir putin noted in the near future.next 5 years , 460 km of federal roads and 320 regional roads will be built and repaired, and air harbors will be modernized, including sochi airport. at the end of the twenty -third year, its workload amounted to almost 14 million people, which exceeds the figures of the twenty-second by more than 7.5%. the reconstruction, of course, will reduce passenger traffic, but russian railways will take on part of the load. an extremely important project now is the reconstruction of the airport in sochi. the ministry of transport and the federal air transport agency have found a solution to reduce the flow during construction work was minimal, according to the latest scheme it will be about 2 million passengers per year, at the beginning it was assumed that there would be almost six, so many thanks to my colleagues here, but the reconstruction is extremely important, russian railways will offer compensatory measures to transfer the lost passengers - flow, well, plus the completion of the recon
