This means that the statement of the french politician is absolutely baseless. And in the New York Times stressed the desire of european leaders to distance themselves from macrons idea only proves how military the alliance is. Disunited.

This is how president ial press secretary Dmitry Peskov commented on the words of the lithuanian diplomat about the neutralization of kaliningrad. Nato expansion, advancement of nato military infrastructure towards our borders. Hostile rhetoric from nato Member States alliance, this is all, of course, a cause for deep concern and reason.

There will be no german or nato troops on ukrainian soil. The chancellor of germany made this promise to the germans. Foreign mercenaries who fought in.

Increase the number of clients of small mediumsized entrepreneurs by one and a half times, the Loan Portfolio by at least 1. 4 times and increase the turnover of foreign Economic Activity in friendly currencies. Vtb sets such goals as part of the news. Strategy for working with small mediumsized businesses until 2026, while the bank relies on fundamentally new standards of service relations, we talked about this and more with the Deputy President , chairman of the board of vtb bank, denis bortnikov. Denis aleksandrovich, hello, we are meeting with you in kaliningrad at one of the iconic points, the museum of the world ocean, and here you are on a working trip as part of which. Tell us about vtbs new strategy for the development of small mediumsized businesses, tell us the results of vtb completed 23 years in this segment and how do you assess the banks position in this market . First of all, we completed the previous strategy perfectly, as i would probably rate it, the growth in our business was more than 2 and a half times, we have grown compared to the eighteenth year, our Loan Portfolio has grown to the level. The passive portfolio amounted to 3. 6 trillion rubles, this is a fairly serious indicator, we participate in all Government Programs that were launched during the pandemic, some of them, of course, ceased to exist because they achieved their goals, and other programs that are aimed at developing precisely the segment with which we work. These programs continue to work, we take an active part in them and i hope that those programs that are now being considered at the level of the federal center, we are also actively involved in them we will take part and they will also find their end user, we really showed good results, the market appreciated us, i believe that our clients too, which means they are paying close attention to what is happening with the bank. Here is the result of this activity this is an active growth of the client base, which means that we have exceeded 1,300 active clients, again over 5 years this is a significant indicator, so we hope that in the current strategy that we are presenting, accordingly, this growth will also be significant, in last year, vtb began integration with otkritie bank, tell us what stage it is at. According to the deadlines that were previously set by the collegial bodies of otkritie bank, and i hope that by the end of this year we will have all this in place brought to its logical conclusion, now as a friendly family we will accordingly continue our work with those clients who were previously clients of the opening bank. Vtb has adopted a new strategy for the development of small mediumsized businesses until the twentysixth year. What are the main changes in the banks work with such clients . We want to continue to be. More digital, but at the same time there is no reason to become a bank with a human face. What does this mean . Accordingly, we put quality of service at the forefront; we want almost every client could receive individual service, personal service, regardless of where he is located or what he does. What key tasks do you set for yourself within the framework of the new strategy, what are the main indicators included in it and what will be the main criterion. We are exceeding the tasks that are set before us, so i hope that we will still cover this amount, which will really give us the opportunity to make more profit, and we also have such plans, but if we talk about what we are more specific we want develop, well, here its probably worth saying that btb bank is a bank for foreign trade, that was the original name, but we will still focus on it. We are already doing this to support the foreign Economic Activities of our clients, this is facilitated, among other things, by the large entertaining network of our foreign punks in friendly countries, in the Branch Network also in friendly countries, and moreover, payments in these areas in friendly flights, they are growing, growing quickly, so we are looking for ways to simplify and speed up translations by means calculation. In friendly currencies, well, we can do it, what customer segments, perhaps areas of activity, are most interesting to the bank within the framework of the new strategy, where do you plan to increase your presence . We are interested in all spheres of the economy, absolutely everything, but it must be said that we are writing an interview now in kaliningrad, the fishing industry is quite developed here, and the shipbuilding industry, we have good competence in construction. Infrastructure projects of a regional format, we are present in all federal programs to support small mediumsized businesses, respectively , within the framework of all these programs, and we will also continue our work, and what should smallmediumsized entrepreneurs themselves expect from the new strategy, will you use any new approaches in servicing them and what role will digitalization play in this . . In the current conditions, it is necessary not only to digitalize everything that exists. Everything that is possible within the bank, but also to remain within the physical network, and often, because the client needs to come, come to some office and just chat with representative of the bank, this is often very important, because live communication is needed, so naturally we want there to be a kind of symbiosis of this service; those who do not need to go to the bank will not go. Accordingly, everything will be done remotely, everything will be seamless, and those who want to work the Old Fashioned way, lets call it that, let them work the Old Fashioned way, again, the quality in both places should be appropriate, it should be such that there is two hundred percent satisfaction client who comes to our bank, thank you. Well skate through the points, you remember everything, you know everything, we calm down, we get together and win, kadyukh, kiss, dad, kiss, yes, kiss already, well, its beautiful to go out on the ice, this is a skill, come on, sank, all hope is in you, well, old age is not a joy, yes, leaving gracefully is a whole art, well , we cant lose you either, because irkutsk loves you, lets translate it from clerical to understandable, its not so scary.

Stay in place, dont move. For some reason i believe you. Anna medio. Look first in the application or on the website. Qualifying competitions in the fidgital ska discipline began today at the games of the future in kazan. The best raiders will show off their tricks first in a skate park and then in a computer game. Find out more details from our Sports Correspondent danil mokhalin. He came out directly. From the studio daniela, hello, tell us how the qualifications are going . Yes, hello, we are at kazan expo, in the pavilion where the skateboarding competitions are taking place. On the one hand, its already a fairly familiar picture, when there is that site where the physical part takes place, the virtual stage, where the monitors and computers for the competition participants are located, but on the other hand, every new site, every new space. This is a special style, and its in in particular, it concerns the place where we are now, because it even has a separate name, its a spaceport, the skate park is equipped in such a way that its a mixture of some cosmic details of the airport, there s even a site at this skatepark, between those uh roads along which skaters eat , there is a path for walking suitcases, there is a special cart, everything to fully reflect that very. Surroundings, and, of course, here are athletes who represent skateboarding and have been doing it for many years, they are not so easy to combine this physical, virtual reality, but they get used to it, for them its an interesting, good experience, they knew in advance that they fit in, so to speak, and really enjoy it, so lets now listen to maxim ezhov, by the way, this is a representative of the Russian National team in skateboarding, when we were rolling out, we had 3 minutes to just get ready. We sat and played in the hotel, what do you think is more difficult . But i think, of course, its much more difficult on a joystick, because no, this is a new discipline for everyone, and many they just dont understand how to do it, its very cool, because now you dont depend only on your skateboarding level, or even the game. And the most interesting thing is that there is also a strategy here, because as it turned out, its far from a fact that its a trick
