The countrys defense capability and security became one of the central topics of conversation. Evgenia petrukhina has all the details. It is necessary to continue constructive work, Vladimir Putin noted during a meeting in the kremlin with the leaders of the duma factions. One of the most important areas of this work developing the potential of russian subjects, modernizing the infrastructure of cities, the proposed program for the development of the country is set out in the message federal assembly, which also reflects the proposals of the leaders of the duma factions. Vladimir putin noted that parliament now has serious powers to form a government, this is the approval of both the chairman of the government, his deputies and ministers, and here it is extremely important not to be guided by corporate or party interests, but to approve people based on personal business qualities, incentives, in accordance with the constitution, with the updated constitution, parliament is now assigned very serious powers to formation of the highest executive body of power, the government, you will approve not only the chairman of the government, but also his deputies and ministers of the civil bloc, this is an extremely important and responsible thing, you know, while working in leningrad, then in st. Petersburg, i saw how legislative bodies, faced with these problems, a reality that we must evaluate and unite as much as possible, solve these problems, first of all, there is a war for resources, there is, in fact, a tough confrontation between the traditional values and our politics, Artificial Intelligence is still ahead, if it falls into the hands of poorly educated, cynical people, it will be worse than the fascist rykha. The challenge now is to realize the potential. The president s message to the federal assembly was emphasized by vladimir vasiliev, here is support for large families and youth, implementation of national projects, regulation of prices for medicines, medicines and housing and communal services. It is more important than ever for duma factions to work together. The message that was addressed to parliament, to almost everyone to the people, which we have worked out in great detail, for our faction, for the united russia party, is a program of action. To date, we have worked through all the proposals that were made; today we have 80 bills in our work, of which 47 are in preparation for the second reading. On voting days , both the pressure of the collective west and the military intervention of the ukronazis, who tried to intimidate russian citizens with shelling so that they would not go to polling stations, were clearly visible. Voting, but it didnt work out. Their children should not remain unprotected without support from the state, therefore military officers are also encouraged to assign a combat veteran, they are more than worthy of this. The leader of the new people party, alexei nechaev, noted the great response to Vladimir Putins message to the federal assembly from entrepreneurs. He also emphasized that the president ial campaign was meaningful, despite the external pressure on russia for dirt. The victory of all citizens is perceived therefore everyone expressed words and support congratulations. Elections form the basic conditions for the strengthening and development of the country. Understanding this, the residents of russia came to vote. Vladimir putin thanked voters for their clear civic position and emphasized that the multinational people of russia cannot be intimidated. Foreign press approached people in difficult regions, in difficult regions, and said, where are you going, you are not afraid, and such an adult turned around and said i am russian, and i will go where i need to go, you see, this is what our enemy does believing to achieve a result, he achieves a result, but exactly the opposite of what was expected, thats all, they dont understand who they are dealing with, with russia, this, this is all the same. Such a community of people, united by common goals, even regardless of ethnicity and religious characteristics, we have a common culture, there is something that unites us all. In addition, the head of state noted that the government needs renewal not so much in specific people, but in approaches to solving problems.

Russia is presiding over brix this year. Our others the country is not a member of this association, but there are great opportunities there, bearing in mind the plans of our chinese friends. I have a big request for you to look with your colleagues and work with the russian ones, how we could include the economies of other countries of our association in joint work with countries. In the sky over the belgorod region, last evening, Russian Air Defense forces shot down 10 vampire rszzo shells, one rocket. U and another patriot complex. The data was published by the ministry of defense. In just one day, the ssu attacked the region more than 50 times. The governor announced this. The tail of one of the missiles fired from ukraine at the peaceful homes of residents of the region, according to the ministry of defense, in the sky over belgorod, air defense crews shot down nine charges from the vampire multiple launch rocket system. But, unfortunately, there were also arrivals in cottages and courtyards of highrise buildings. One of the ukrainian ammunition hit this private house in the village of razumno. Now rescuers are trying to shed the roof of the flaming ceiling so that the fire does not spread inside the building. The owners of the house were not inside at the time of the explosion, perhaps this saved them, the scattering of fragments was very dense. We know that our car burned down, we kept it safe from impacts. This is the first time this has happened here, that is, no, we found fragments, it broke through the roof for us, it was already here. It happened, but we didnt report it because peoples houses were collapsing. In total, as a result of another terrorist attack by the armed forces of ukraine, damage was detected in thirteen private residential buildings, windows were broken, roofs and facades were cut. There are wounded, four people are hospitalized, among them a fourteenyearold teenager, injured by shrapnel his hand was torn off by a ukrainian shell. I was at home with my three children at the moment when a piece of shrapnel flew into the neighboring house, our roof was cut right through, and it crashed in the childrens room. Window, the children are just hysterical, three children. The villages of nikolskaya, nizhny alshanets and belovskoye came under fire today. The situation is very difficult in the border settlements of the grayvoronsky urban district. Theres no electricity there. Ukrainian militants bombed a substation. They purposefully destroy civilian infrastructure. Debris from one of the missiles hit to the Central Regional hospital, the second to the local school. The arrival point of another ukrainian projectile, a highexplosive fragmentation munition detonated in the center. Eight cars were pierced through the village of razumny by shrapnel; naturally , there were no military targets here; on the contrary, there is a secondary school nearby; if the children had not been at a distance today, its scary to think what consequences this could have led to. The fire was avoided here; workers from a nearby car service came running here with fire extinguishers even before the rescuers arrived. After a while, the cars came out, these ones were smoking because of this, we already disconnected its battery, well, this was the state, today the governor. Children from belgorod, belgorod district, shebekinsky district, gorovoronsky district, we agree with colleagues of the governors, on the twentysecond, 1200 children go to pinza, to tambov, to kologa. To ukraine, where they would become a legitimate target for Russian Military forces. Paris, according to naryshkin, carefully hides both the number of losses and the very fact of the involvement of the French Military in ukraine. How far western allies are ready to go to support kiev. In a report by the chief of our berlin bureau, mikhail antonov. Pentagon chief lloyd osin, who sometimes appears and disappears from view, including the biden administration, due to illness. This time i decided. Fly across the ocean to personally meet with allies at the american ramstein airbase in germany, it is easier to convince them that despite the aid to ukraine stalled on capital hill, there is a theoretical opportunity to consider the issue apparently, the house of representatives of the us congress will not appear on the allocation of new funds earlier than midapril, but given the position of the republicans, a positive result is by no means guaranteed. This clearly does not add confidence and good humor to the european allies. As often happens in such cases, hidden anxiety is relayed into the public space not by officials, but by wellinformed sources close to them. This is clearly one of them. The Czech Republic is looking for shells around the world, and has even found something, judging by the fact that germany is taking pay 18,000 pieces, as defense minister pistorius announced today. True, they will begin in the summer, not earlier. On the other hand, it is not the shortage of equipment, nor the wear and tear of equipment, that is now the main problem of the kiev formations. The further we go, the more clearly the shortage and wear and tear of people comes to the fore. The Ukrainian Armed forces are exhausted and bloodless from battles. The day before , american senator Lindsey Graham showed up in kiev. The one that openly called the ukrainian conflict the best investment in us security. Ever since his buddy mccain lay down at erlington cemetery, graham is unrivaled in incitement and hypocrisy. I hope that those who are fit to serve in the Ukrainian Army will serve. I cant believe shes been around since she was 27. You are fighting for your life, so you must serve, and not from 25 or 27 years old. We need more people at the front, whatever we do, you have to fight. We americans need you ukrainians to fight to the last of you. Grem demands to speed up the adoption of the cannibalistic law on mobilization, which will turn. Well, i learned a lot during my time political life, especially in the last 12 months of my tenure as german minister of defense, and what i usually do not do is answer hypothetical questions, everything is obvious here, before the German Authorities sanction the participation of the bundeswehr in a military intervention in ukraine, or more correctly the southwestern russia . Macron and company will need to push scholz to supply the winged taurus. Where else in the world is it possible that in a country that is the largest supplier of weapons to ukraine, similar discussions that i read and see every day in newspapers, radio and tv. This is shameful for our country. We said that 28 billion euros have either already been delivered or agreed upon, and then such discussions. Artillery, air defense systems, various types of equipment, yes, as many as needed, but not taurus. There has been no visible change in the chancellors public position. However, there are signs that work is underway within the Ruling Social Democratic Party to rethink the situation, based on the real state of affairs on the line of military contact. The other day in debate time. The chancellors party is improving in sociology, it is still only the third most popular in the country, but still plus 15 , because the chancellor does not want to supply missiles to ukraine. This is good news for the social democrats; it is spoiled only by the fact that along with their rating, the rating of the alternative for germany is growing. Mikhail antonov, anastasia barkovskaya, andrey putra, Central European news bureau. Ukrainian authorities awarded ss man yaroslav gonko. A badge of honor for services to the ternopil region, it was in this region that he was born nazi criminal, the decision was made by the Ternopil Regional Council in honor of the ninety ninth anniversary of their fellow countryman, the award sheet notes that the collaborator from the Galicia Division made a significant personal contribution to helping the armed forces of ukraine. After the Canadian Parliament got into a scandal because of applause for the punisher gunko, the west is trying once again not to remember either him or the ukrainian followers of hitler. Lets tell you what this day is memorable for in history right now. Hello. On march 20, 1833, the First Complete edition was published novel in verse by evgeny anegin. Alexander sergeevich pushkin worked on this work for more than 7 years, and the first chapters were published in parts in magazines and almonies. Pushkin himself called his work a feat.

Critic Vissarion Belinsky wrote about the novel. The novel in verse has been translated into dozens of languages around the world, and the type of socalled extra person that pushkin brought out in the image of anegin greatly influenced all subsequent russian literature.

Was it was decided to isolate them in Tsarskoe Selo under guard. Mosud is being built. At that time , few people understood what would happen next. Nicholas himself asked for asylum from the cousin of the british king george v. But he first agreed, and then changed his mind, deciding that the people in britain would be hostile to this, and the danger to the imperial family in russia was exaggerated. The decision turned out to be fatal. Nikolai and his family were kept in Tsarskoe Selo for 4 months, then they were transported to tobolsk, from there to yekaterinburg, where in the summer of 1918 they shot 20 march 1930 marks the birthday of the moscow aviation institute.

In the same year it was renamed mai. The history of the university is full of glorious and significant pages. On account of mayovtsev, thats what students and teachers of mai graduates are called. There are many highprofile developments that have glorified russian aviation. It was the students of mai who at one time built special aerosleighs for the development of virgin lands. My teachers participated in the creation of the first artificial earth satellite. Work on the creation of the mig31 fighter was headed for many years by a mai graduate, an aircraft designer. Konstantin vasilchenko. Mayovites work in a variety of scientific sectors. The rd180 engine, popular in the russian and American Space programs, was also developed by moevts boris katorgen.

Since 2003, the invasion of iraq by Coalition Forces consisting of the United States and its allies began. America was joined by britain, australia and poland. The invasion took place as part of the war on global terrorism, which was declared by the administration of george w. Bush, after the terrorist attacks in the United States on september 11, 2001, when the World Trade Center towers in new york were attacked and collapsed. Iraq first bombed, then the ground operation began. The iraqi forces quickly found themselves routed. The head of the country, Saddam Hussein , was captured at the end of that year and executed 3 years later. Washington explained the military actions in iraq by the fact that baghdat was implementing a program to create weapons of mass destruction. As evidence , secretary of state colin powell shook a test tube with an unknown substance at the security council. But it was a lie. No chemical or biological weapons were found in iraq. How are the connections between saddams regime and alqada group, which was behind the september 11 attacks. In your presence. In iraq, the United States continued to build up for another 8 years, trying to cope with the outbreak of civil war and withdrew its troops only in 2011 by decision of president barack obama. This is what this day in history was like. Welcome to asia, its beating here. The heart of the continent
