I would like to emphasize this once again, from the point of view of the obligations that these states bear, from the point of view of the general principles of morality and international law, the situation is intolerable, we are carefully we are monitoring it, i would like to emphasize once again that this is a subject of our serious concern, it is clear that the Russian Federation will do Everything Possible to ensure that if it really comes down to the return of our compatriots to their homeland, they will. Is set up, we have, as you know, a program to promote voluntary resettlement, and russian, er , compatriots living abroad, it will be implemented in full, but nevertheless, i would like to note once again that it causes our greatest concern, and the laws are truly draconian, and they actually threaten. The wellbeing and the very lives of many of our people who live there, who are citizens or noncitizens of this country, but nevertheless, they worked in factories , they worked in the fields, they taught, treated, worked in the service sector, they increased the wealth of latvia and today, if they do not pass the exam, do not undergo additional testing, they are transformed. The European Union, the council of europe, which should stand up for the protection of human rights, do not take any measures, in fact we do not expect them from them, because barel said that the European Union is a blooming garden, and there are only roses, there are no shortcomings, but nevertheless , sort of, if these people contributed to the national heritage, on what basis did they you can deprive pensions, social benefits, other social packages, but what is happening, in fact, is causing great damage to the National Interests of latvia and i would not single out latvia, because we see the same trends in estonia, to a lesser extent in lithuania , but in essence, we are talking about abandoning the russian language. The russian language , as you know, is part of the global civilization and by abandoning the russian language, latvia is thereby abandoning a Development Resource, but we see that in all other areas, latvia and other baltic countries are following this path, look, a few years ago these countries occupied a very advantageous geostrategic position, all transport routes northsouth, eastwest went through this country, the port system flourished, railways worked, and so on and so forth , today they are wrapping themselves in barbed wire, digging antitank ditches , stretching brunos spiral, closing checkpoints, prohibiting the entry of russian cars, personal ones into the territory of these countries, and thereby. Themselves in the role of such transport impasse in europe, second, they recently decided to disconnect from the brel system this is the cis Energy Supply system, which has ensured the Energy Security of these countries for decades, so they buy electricity from tridorogo, which, of course, undermines the economic and industrial capabilities of these countries when. Lithuania joined the European Union, it succumbed to pressure from brussels, closed the ignalina as, thereby losing an entire industry. In its own, in its economy, the nuclear industry, nuclear technology, and everything that is connected with Technological Progress in the nuclear field. Today, if we take the military sphere, they are turning their country into a nato Training Ground for endless nato exercises, they are fighting for the right to host american troops on their territory, and it has already been announced that the bundeswehr will be stationed in lithuania, and this is an integral part of this sad picture , these are the vafs marches, the demolition of the monument to the heroes of the red army, thanks to whose feat not only these states exist, but the peoples themselves survived the Second World War and survived as ethnic groups, which have always existed in this territory. And therefore this is the story, it is clear to us that this trend will continue , it fits into the general, general course of the west to isolate russia, the abolition of the culture of everything that today is called the policy of denying russia, denying russian culture, denying everything russian, inflicting a strategic defeat on the deterrence of our country, and all this, of course, if correlated with the National Interests of these states, causes great surprise, especially in conditions that the main problem facing these countries is depopulation, the size of the population compared to 1992, the year ninetyone, when they gained independence, which was granted to the soviet union, by the way, in violation of social laws, it has decreased from 20 to 30 and they face enormous challenges, but i will emphasize once again that the rejection of the russian language as a Development Resource is on the conscience of the governments of these states, for our part we will do Everything Possible in order to reverse this trend, but to attract the attention of international institutions, and accept our compatriots as people close to us. And by providing all the necessary assistance, subsidies, social benefits, opportunities for settlement, and so on. Yes, aleksandrevich, its difficult to understand with normal reason what the european, baltic authorities are doing, but on the other hand, you just explained the reason, this, of course, has nothing to do with normal human values, but there is another problem, this is kosovo in europe, and you recently stated that you do not see any possibility of normalizing relations in this unrecognized republic, why do you think so, how likely is the defrosting of this conflict . Well, i dont see, at the moment there really are no prospects for a peaceful settlement, the leadership of serbia, president alexander, speaks about this , the situation is clear, it is also connected with the inability of the west to fulfill the responsibilities and obligations that it has assumed, they are, first of all, recorded in Security Council resolution 1244, as well as in the socalled brussels agreements, the central element of which is the creation of a community of serbian municipalities in kosovo, that is, this is such a special status for living serbs. Kosova is behaving absolutely arrogantly, it, with the encouragement or inaction of the west , is escalating the situation, the situation in kosovo is being devastated by the serbs, there is an attack on serbian shrines, in fact , local selfgovernment bodies, in fact the west, are being seized by force, by albanian elements is silent, at best he gets off with general statements to the world, to both sides, although every effort was made by the serbian side to nevertheless. Translate this process into the mainstream of those agreements that i just talked about, but however, let me emphasize once again, the west encourages, not only. These militant antics of the kosovo regime, but also continues to push kosovo towards sovereignty, in particular, there is a process of creeping accession of kosovo, admission of kosovo to the council of europe, to some Others International organizations and this will only provoke the kosovo authorities , who, feeling such a favorable attitude from the west, will continue. This policy, therefore, as long as this line of the west continues, there will be no prospects for real agreements, and most importantly , what the west is striving for is the separation of the region from kosovo, granting it independence, early entry into nato, the eu, therefore, kosovos own authorities are counting on the continuation of this support, until the last day, if you remove the verbal mischief that comes from time to time from different european capitals, and it is carried out precisely to achieve this goal, everything is done in order to, without any fuss, still achieve the main plan that the west was developing even then, when he was dismantling the Union Republic of yugoslavia, alexander viktorovich, well. It turns out that nato in this way, as it were, is expanding its borders, but it has already expanded them completely, and now even kosovo is a result wants to take it for himself, well, hes planning an exercise, a staunch defender, next year is called the largest exercise since the cold war, and also, according to the nato representatives themselves, they have been preparing for confrontation with us since 2008, in your opinion, thats all so. What can these actions lead to . Well, this is an absolutely understandable escalation of the situation, we have talked about this many times, nato has gone through several stages of its evolution, but ultimately it turned out that nato cannot exist without a big enemy, so if in fact no one has any intentions of attacking nato, because the history of nato is not the history of a defensive one. Who saved his allies, yes, his members, we need to come up with such an enemy , russia was chosen as this enemy, and if you look at the current activities of nato, then all of it is concentrated around article five, the socalled washington treaty, this is preparation for a military confrontation comparable to the enemy, that is, with the Russian Federation, they shook the dust off all their instructions from the cold war, have recreated the command structure of the cold war, are engaged in the construction of infrastructure facilities necessary for receiving reinforcements, including from overseas, improving logistics, expanding railways, bridges, strengthening, and so on and so forth, and eliminating any administrative procedures, in order to be ready for armed confrontation with russia at their hour; i m not talking about politics now, but the essence of military development, therefore the exercises that they conceived, indeed, this is the largest exercise of the cold times after the cold war, they really envisage such a real hot conflict, with elements of defense and counteroffensive, i use. Nato language, in fact, is practicing offensive operations, but without even waiting for these exercises, we are watching how nato conducts its exercises on a smaller scale, there are landings and amphibious assaults, and the transfer of force, and the use of longrange systems, yes, to this i would like to add, these are the plans that they have already are being implemented, this is the creation of an integrated air defense pro system, more emphasis on the role of nuclear weapons, the movement of large aviation, large air formations closer to the eastern flank, and of course, the permanent deployment of forces of means, i have already mentioned, and the german brigade in lithuania, such brigades will be deployed, in all countries along the perimeter of the Russian Federation, all this creates a completely new military reality, this is a conscious choice of nato. The conflict in ukraine has absolutely nothing to do with it, it is only used as an ideological processing for nato, to this turn, to the origins, to the year fortynine, to the postulates of the cold war, all this is intended for only one thing, so that nato is preserved as an instrument of influence of the United States, as an instrument of subjugation of europe and as an instrument of globalist. The intentions of the United States, which they are, with which they are trying to maintain dominance in the world, but we already see that the United States is trying to drag nato into the asian region, china has already been declared a threat to the alliance, and the United States, in addition to what they are doing, is also trying in europe turn it into such a global instrument of its own domination. This is, in general terms, what is happening in the alliance. Of course, if we talk about the risks associated with such a policy, they are obvious, and the risks of unintentional incidents are increasing. And the very attempt of military pressure on russia, including already using the territories of new members, we are talking about finland, with which we have. Borders of 1200 km, and we see that even today finland is beginning to feel like a frontline state, blocking the border , creates some kind of protective fortifications, Foreign Forces will probably be stationed there, at least accept American Equipment in their warehouses , all this creates a new military reality to which we will respond, and as has already been announced, some of these plans are already being implemented, we will strengthen our northwestern direction, we have all the capabilities , militarytechnical and other, in order to reliably ensure our security interests and discourage nato planners from any dangerous plans regarding our country. Yes, and the Finnish Military is purchasing land from local residents on the border in order, of course, to create military facilities. Eh, alexander viktorovich, this is a trend that is visible, and is it a trend in europe . I mean, these are issues of interaction, so to speak, between, say, ukraine and its still such close allies, poland, conversations in slovakia after the elections, is it possible to say that this is some kind of schism or some kind of enlightenment in the heads of european officials, or is it just some kind of local one . Such outbursts of discontent, well, we we are closely monitoring, naturally, what is happening inside the eu, there are obviously lines of such a split, i would not exaggerate them, because after all, we must focus on general trends, and general trends, they do not indicate that the course of the west towards ukraine in relation to the conflict in ukraine, which was manmade. Actually by the west and was created, first through a coup and then by supporting the poroshenko regime when it began a punitive operation against its own people, here in our contacts with foreigners, with our western colleagues, we ask questions well, look, you carried out against russia, there were approximately 12, already 11 packages of sanctions, we have already lost count of how many sanctions were imposed, but when poroshenko began the punitive operation, when it passed, it happened this terrible tragedy in odessa, when he declared that the children of donbass would sit in basements, and the children of kiev would go to school, what did you do to force him to fulfill the minsk agreements . The minsk agreements provided for the return of donbass and lugansk in legal. The bosom of ukraine, subject, of course, to the protection of the fundamental rights of the population who live there, i have already spoken about the community the serbian municipalities of kosovo, recently president macron visited corsica, stated that he is ready to discuss autonomous status, and that he is ready to agree with education in the kartikan language, and that this education should take into account. National, cultural, historical traditions and so on and so forth, our western partners told us that the minsk agreements, which. Which should have led to the restoration of the unity of ukraine, it is impossible to implement them, this is absolutely hypocrisy and another evidence that , in fact, the western plan was completely different, and we are seeing its implementation today, this is to use ukraine as a tip in that hybrid war , which they unleashed against russia, to save the same nato and to strengthen it. This is a new reality, until they turn away from this path, so you asked me a question about the positions of individual countries, of course, we know how hungary behaves, there are certain nuances in the policies of other states, which , say, refuse to transfer weapons, are not so actively involved in various. Russian companies, but if you look at the documents that they accept in collective formats, everything, all these documents say only one thing that military support for the regime will continue, that weapons will be supplied there, while we are talking with you, the discussion is ongoing in the European Union regarding the allocation of up to 5 billion in aid to the armed forces of ukraine alone year to the twentyseventh year. This is actually the planning horizon of our, in quotes, western partners, and we must proceed from this reality, and as for individual voices, sooner or later we proceed from the fact that the europeans will finally understand into what abyss the United States is dragging them, and i, at least at least i hope that some voice of reason, not for everyone, but at least for some, should prevail, because this whole story. It obviously undermines the interests of the europeans themselves, in the economic field, in the sphere of opportunities carrying out independent politics, and if we talk about the economic area, i recently read a study by german industrialists, and they came to the conclusion that approximately 250 billion euros are flowing out of. The country this is capital flight, direct losses to industry amount to 280 billion on an annual basis, and gas, the price of gas that german industry receives is three times higher in germany than in the United States, there is a serious danger of deindustrialization and the flow of industry into the United States, especially taking into account those decisions and funds allocated by the american government. Within the framework of the relevant legislative framework for creating preferences for their own producers, all this is part of the general, overall picture, and of course , if we talk about the militarypolitical side of the matter, then we are talking about the complete subordination of the European Union, nato, and the january declaration, which was adopted, declaring nato and the eu speaks directly about this, that the European Union is a complement to nato, so if. And to extract some basic meaning from this reading, it lies precisely in this, yes, alexander viktorovich, well, another big topic that i would like to discuss with you is the socalled grain deal, reports have appeared that ukraine has allegedly resumed exports from its black sea ports, and the turkish Authorities Say that there will be clarification on this issue only towards the end years, how to connect it all together, well, i would like to do it right away. That there is a lot of propaganda and such white noise around the grain deal, our position is absolutely clear, precise, understandable, it is consistent, we defended it from the first day when we entered into consultations negotiations on how to ensure the export of grain from ukraine, so you asked me that ukraine exports something there, so it. Exported, approximately 60 of the grain that was produced in ukraine was exported from there, through the socalled corridors of solidarity, this is by river, road, rail, to ip countries , recently the minister of Foreign Affairs of poland rao spoke, he said that grain exports from ukraine to poland have increased 600 times. In general, if we take the figures for that time, when the deal was in effect, we made sure that grain exports to the eu were from ukraine. Approximately twice as much, this does not mean that the European Union began to consume twice as much bakery products, it simply indicates that this is a black sea deal, which was originally intended to prevent, as ours said again in in quotation marks partners, global famine, to prevent africa, which is experiencing grain shortages, to avoid. Migration flows, including to europe, but in fact, crumbs of 3 go there, this is what is happening in the west today, except for some exhortations that the deal should be resumed, but nothing has been done from the point of view of ensuring global security, because the main guarantor of this global. Global grain exports, but in order to ensure its delivery to the market of countries in need, the European Union must do several things, the first is to remove restrictions from all companies that produce this grain, from all companies that produce and components for them, for rosselkhozbank to use swift, provide wiring, provide insurance for ships, ensure the opportunity for our ships to enter the ports of the European Union and other countries, restore normal, normal logistics, legal, create a Legal Framework for normal grain trade, nothing has been done to date, nothing , i emphasize this again, until there is Real Movement towards fulfilling our requirements, which were recorded in the relevant document a dream where all these obligations were recorded, but there are no prospects for restoring the deal and the ball is completely on the side of the United States and the European Union, they either must stop talking about global food security, or remain silent, and do what i was just talking about said. Alexandrevich , and the last question, how are things going with the supply of millions of tons of russian grain to turkey, how are the negotiations going, are there any risks in this project for us . Well , there are no risks, there is good will, political will has been demonstrated on all sides, consultations are ongoing, i would not comment on this now. This is not a substitute for the right deal, but it is an awareness, by us, the turkish country and some countries , of the importance and necessity of helping the poorest countries, and we, as a responsible country, as a responsible member of the international community, will continue to do everything necessary to help the poor and to those in need, even overcoming those artificial difficulties that our enemies create, alexander viktorovich, thank you very much thank you, all the best, all the best. Streets went under water, residential buildings were flooded, classes at schools were cancelled, in the novosibirsk region, su34 bombers are produced, repaired and modernized here. Protective duties on gray fuel exports, what new measures has the government approved to stabilize the domestic market . The building of the mariupol school of arts is actually being rebuilt. New residential neighborhoods, schools, parks, why they call it mariupol. And how he is literally reborn from the ruins.
