how to jointly confront challenges and threats. after a two-year break, the international airport will resume operations in a week. flight safety was confirmed by the ministry of defense and the russian national guard. those same vaunted western tanks in moscow are preparing for the opening of an exhibition of captured equipment, captured by our soldiers in the northern military district zone. the exhibition is being replenished with new samples. and we start with footage from st. petersburg. there today there is a council of legislators discussing support for families with children and demographic issues. senators, deputies, and members of the government arrived. vladimir putin takes part in the event. he congratulated the participants on the day of russian parliamentarism, which is celebrated tomorrow. by celebrating this holiday, we pay tribute to the traditions of our statehood and lawmaking. history of formation and development. institutions of democracy, at the same

time, the events through which we are passing prove the significance of such continuity, how important it is, precisely on the basis of one’s original experience, to strengthen the parliament, parliamentarism and the socio-political system of russia as a whole. it is necessary to ensure its stability and at the same time create conditions for openness and renewal. for fair competition between different political forces with an unconditional and clear understanding of the priority of national interests and state security, in a common desire to jointly seek the most effective solutions to issues vital to people. in this regard, i want note the constructive interaction of legislative bodies, party factions, with the russian government, and heads of the subject.

in particular, american howitzers and electronic warfare stations, ammunition depots were hit, air defense systems shot down about 200 enemy drones and intercepted several french guided bombs. about the origins of the conflict in ukraine, the terrorist actions of kiev and their support from the west, a big conversation in astana at the level of defense ministers of the countries participating in the shanghai organization cooperation. sergei shaigu noted that our...

country only protects people in historical territories, and emphasized: “the russian army will achieve all the goals of the special operation.” oleg shishkin compiled the main statement. the shanghai cooperation organization includes nine states. traditionally, defense ministers gather at this large round table. here is sergei shaigu’s workplace. and on the folder with business papers prepared for the meeting of the defense ministers of the countries included in the organization, there are flags of ten states, including belarus. she is also invited to the council. girls in the ceremonial, sky-blue uniform of the armed forces of kazakhstan rehearsed the document signing ceremony until the last moment, stopping in turn at the workplaces of the heads of the defense departments of russia, china, kazakhstan, india, iran, pakistan, uzbekistan, kyrgyzstan and tajikistan. such meetings are held annually; this is an opportunity to compare notes on current regional security problems and discuss approaches to solving them. according to

the meeting participants, the international situation remains difficult; there is a tendency to exacerbation. according to sergei shaigu, this is largely due to the desire of the united states to maintain dominance by any means and impose the will of the independent people. countries, in words, we were assured that nato would not expand to the east; in fact, alliance troops have already come very close to the russian borders. i want to emphasize that it was not us, but they who came to us, came to our borders. this once again shows that westerners cannot be trusted. now they reproach us that if russia is not stopped in ukraine, then we will allegedly attack alliance countries. the russian federation never made any threats. nato: we have neither geopolitical nor military interests to attack the state of the bloc, we simply protect our people in our historical territories, and have always made every effort to maintain strategic stability and the balance of power in the world. the united states, on the contrary, first

created and is now purposefully prolonging the conflict in ukraine. the collective west is pumping weapons into ukraine, and in real time they are broadcasting the old social media. improving the military training system personnel, and also hone the acquired skills within the framework of operational and combat training activities, thus, all attempts by the west to inflict a strategic defeat on us are futile. sergei shaigu did not rule out that the united states and its allies will try to drive a wedge

between the sco participants by creating hotbeds of tension on the borders and through the so -called import of color revolutions and various provocations to undermine the internal political situation. in this context, it seems logical to progressively combine the potential organizations with the capabilities of other international structures on our continent working in the field of security. the main emphasis should be on strengthening military contacts between the shanghai cooperation organization and the csto. to participate in events through the defense departments, the shanghai cooperation organization, especially... we suggest inviting representatives of other regional associations, primarily the csto and the cis, as well as friendly countries. following the meeting , a package of documents on expansion was signed cooperation. in postana, sergei shaigu also held several bilateral meetings. as a result

of negotiations with a colleague from kyrgyzstan , agreements were concluded on the exchange of information and interaction in the field of traditional and biological safety. separate meeting with the minister of defense of the people's republic of china. discussed with a colleague from the islamic republic the main areas of cooperation. during this year, another replenishment is expected in the sco. it is planned that belarus will become a full participant in the association. olek shishkin, marad khabibulin, svetlana barkova, channel one astana. the eurasian economic union is ahead of the eu in terms of

gdp growth, mikhail mishustin announced this at the strategic session “eurasian integration in a multipolar world.” trade within the eu, according to the prime minister, is growing based on the results of last year. organization and formation of independent and relatively autonomous macro-regions. the key rate was kept at 16% per annum. this decision was made today by the central bank. the indicator has not been changed for the third time in a row, which is quite expected, they say

experts. the goal is to curb the growth of inflation and return it to the target range. and, as the central bank noted, this may require a longer period. let me remind you that the key rate determines at what percentage banks issue loans and also open them. vlady, the first ones are becoming more expensive, the second ones are more profitable. the us president again found himself in an awkward situation , this time at a conference of construction trade unions in washington. joe biden read the text supler.
