They are very, they have seen the various things, the russian official spot in system at russian officials. Ive seen that every se, every security measures needed will be taken and nothing will stop russia from electing its future. But speaking, going back to the notes here, ukraine and military intelligence, a Russian Ministry of defense said the full of their tax repelled an estimate of ukrainian losses, but to 1500 people and 18 thoughts thanks and 23 pieces of my time off. So im not mistaken, of course. And yeah, these, this is all like i have for you at the moment. Well, for the residence of gal, credit seems to shunning has become a daily reality. Im sure we could apply the cards, but they do continue to go on a pool 6 out that democratic rights. We appreciate you giving us a lot that was all to produce a month.

We have settled selves off in the very heart of the russian capital to bring you the latest the well by saying was well underway on day one, friday, a polling station in the house on regent and came on to ukrainian shutting according to the local governor, even to people wounded and response, president putin said the key of the tenant slipped sabotage and the election wouldnt go on on said in an attempt to disrupt the voting process and intimidate people, at least in the border areas with ukraine. The key of neo nazi regime is trying to carry out a series of criminal and demonstrative armed acts. This primarily involves targeting peaceful settlements on russian territory. Approximately 95 percent of the enemies missiles and projectiles are destroyed by our air defense forces. Nevertheless, unfortunately, there are casualties among civilians, all of them and their families will, of course receive all necessary assistance and support these attacks by the enemy will not go unpunished to despite yesterdays attack, people in the house on reaching out on the tubs and had been seen heading to posting foods to cost the products, the tunnel remains high that all across the country. Like i said, the goals to police stations a wide open and a waiting focus. And we offering you all special coverage. The big question is, who will leave the country in the next 6 years, who will decide the future of the country . And that is for only russians who are voting to answer that question, would be about to end up being for tripping out and showing concerned. And then so as you ask them as to how they want the one, the country to be run. And that is what we have been covering. I bring you up to speed for candidates in this president ial elections at the incumbent head of state who is running as an independent candidate. Along with the other 3. Can contend us who are Current National lo make as representing 3 different political parties. So far, let them put in is the only candidate so far who has kept his balance. And he opted not to go to the police station, but voted remotely via the Online Service from his office. Now lets head to our Political Correspondent jago pest can of he reports from the election. He has upset so far, despite any attempts to have trucks to the voting process, like you just saw in russias new regions or some of the incidents that have taken place at some of the polling stations in, you know, the regions of russia and millions of people have already cast their ballots and this is only the 1st day of the election. Like you said, this is the 1st time that rush a is holding a president ial election, which will last for 3 days. And thats, of course, done in order to provide everyone with an opportunity to be able to cast their ballots. We expect some more development, the same prosperity in the country, and everything will turn out better for our people. The faith of our country is being decided for 6 years. The president is elected for 6 years, our entire system, the structures of government bodies and our life in general is being decided. Everyone should come and vote over to collections our lives. The president and the people are united. Our victory depends on the president and the people that i believe that elections are mandatory. That i think that this is one of the most important events for every person. For the citizens of our country, we must take part because the future of russia depends on our voice. We all love us, citizens of russia. I think that the clergy is the advance layer of our society. So we must actively take part in these events. Unfortunately, several troubling incidents have been reported in the different parts of the country authorities already in our already investigating them and several criminal investigations are being conducted. Uh, a few people actually for the ink into the bad boxes. Uh, one of them and tried setting up boiling station on fire by throwing a mazda of cocktail in it. But thankfully, no one was injured in that incident and about the boxes werent damaged as well. But we have heard now from the head of the whole committee, all up on zillow, who said that this is quite a serious offense. Still from those who are the say and from the, from their explanations, it follows that this is coming from abroad. This means some kind of scheme, a connection, these us elements of federalism. They admit that they do this for money, but they said they will be less off that this is just that hooliganism. This is section 141 of the criminal code up to 5 years in prison. This is not or now talking about International Attention to would be this president ial election. Then a 106 countries sent their observers to russia to monitor the vote. I think all in all about 200000 people, including russian citizens and yeah, foreigners are monitoring this election. Let me welcome you to another interview. Were going to have here election, observe us who were coming from different parts of the world to witness the history making election in russia right now and been joined by how much can we have been abdul manime . Hes the political advisor to the minister of finance of militia, and hes here, its nice to have you join me right now. Im a how much . Thank you. My welcome. Now you are in moscow. You have gone round and seen a few uh, process in the election. Can you share with us some of the observations that you have seen so far . I mean, of course my you see is very interesting to note here that i think you have been to some part of the issue, you know, divide, said to invite them when its totally different. And of course, you can see this time what all we have for about the full candidates for these specially to instill election thats judy shows that the, the democracy practice is i would say, fostering in russia and define what all i think it will be interesting. Plus, this is the 1st time of the official they should be let should, where the evil thing system is being implemented. I think this is very good. I mean the 2 is the advisement of technology. We try to utilize and use and maximize whatever means that we have to make sure that the participation of the people in this democratic process is being utilized. Now what this is, is very important to make sure that the resar can, you know, the progress and move forward to insight to it will be a part thought the important come see me into was to make sure that whatever the things that we have planned and you know, for all these wants, we can for the improve the and make sure that we can do dont explore a new opportunity between melisha and the rest of it. Apart from the existing one, we have treat west and may just have already dismissed the election brand to get on democratic however, they were suspicious. Be quiet when president s and on state Council President ial elections in ukraine, which would to to also take face this. Yeah. Well, that was the message of rushes and boy conveyed to a session of the un Security Council. Just curious, it was, i want to ask old western colleagues, you have assembled a whole Security Council meeting just to critique across several holds in democratic elections on the territory that is administratively politically and economically apologize of all country. Whether anyone likes it or not. And in terms of your boast of democratic standards, how can you characterize the single handed constellation of elections by the head of states . Zaleski still hasnt figured out how to stay in power, but he has already shown that hes ready to draw the whole country in blood and sacrifice every last ukrainian to achieve this goal. Meanwhile, the region in the south, which became a part of russia a decade ago, is making its choice to back in 2014 the people of crime. And so to, to join the russian rep for the ration. And this selection is the 2nd time that they have had the say on who gets to be the president among those voting was the head of the peninsula. So the external who judged his compact is not to be indifferent to the countries future once everybodys really nice you by the most, thats a Beautiful Day with voting for the future of rush hour. So you dont be in different in all stand aside from the cost you will, but for the future of our country is the security for development for the lives and health about children and grandchildren. Hes that really and thats what you do. Meanwhile, in french president money, while not cro has set the peninsula, should be seized from russia in order to bring stability and last in peace to the region. What to the quite may have some souls think . All things dont know what has been looking at how much and life for them has changed over the last 10 years. Its been 10 years since crime. It took its fate into its own hands, voting to become part of russia and the peninsula has undergone a dramatic transformation all despite the western. Nay sayers who did everything in their power to see where unification fail once he grabbed crimea, pretended deployed new move. Russian forces in the peninsula turning the territory into an armed camp from which to threaten the rest of the ukraine. We will continue to hold russia accountable until it returns full control or premier to ukraine and completely withdraws its forces. It is also important to acknowledge that the situation and economists republic of crayton year and the city of citrus, the pope, has further the terrier agents. A new crime is most grandiose project was likely the crime in bridge. Russias vital artery of transports through the curt, straight, a similar accomplishment was the construction of the to read the federal highway which sides grand opening in 2020. These are just 2 of many new pieces of infrastructure across the peninsula. And thats done wonders for people. Standard of living, the pennsylvania will do a lot has changed over the years. First of all, we feel supported by to ukraine has tons of us to poll into the backwoods. Well be able to see and now that the city is blooming, that you will do take a look at what the odds we have now. I said you have, we have an excellent tool to supply. Right. Did you understand here is i have received the russian citizenship. I have my own business. I bought an apartment and my daughter grew up here as a rush and thought to us, we can see for ourselves what has happened in these 10 years . Pardon me, are officially left ukraine and joined to the Russian Federation in march of 2014, after over a whopping 96 percent of the population voted to do so in a historic referendum. Its a come as little surprise since both ukrainian and russian statistics show that russians have long made up the main Demographic Group on the peninsula as lot of airport and mentioned in his 2014 cry me a speech. Many of the seeds of chaos were phone decades before. Like when former soviet general secretary, Nikita Khrushchev arbitrarily transferred crimea from russia to ukraine. It became clear the russian president s, but in action would be a betrayal of his own people. Simple, somebody, there are lots of those who resisted the push were immediately threatened with reprisals and punitive measures. And the 1st in line was of course, crimea, russian speaking crimea. Thats when the residents of crime you and say were still flu, appealed to russia to protect their rights and their lives. Of course we could not fail to respond to this request. We could not leave premier and its people in trouble. Otherwise it was simply be a betrayal. It was necessary to help create conditions for a peaceful, Free Expression of will, so that the crime eons could determine their own fate for the 1st time in history. But even after crime me a return to its motherland, struggles continued to persist, light keeps blockade of nearly 90. Percent of the provincial is clean water supply. President s lensky, who thinks crime. He actually wants to come back to ukraine, was making jokes about the water situation back in 2015. But i was just gonna pick out what was the teachers the notes of clearly oh my god, what what what then there were the blackouts that would run for months on end, caused by kia backed extreme is to sabotage the power lines running to crimea. It was only have to rush it was able to commission to new power plants, but the Energy Problem was solved in 2019. The whole country helped us in the shortest possible time and energy bridge and new power plants were built, as well as an upgrade to the existing Power Generation facilities today. For the 1st time in history, cry me not only has ceased to be a region experiencing power shortages, but can also supply surfaces of electricity outside its territory if necessary. There were new sanctions as well that the west targeted specifically a crimea, but that didnt stop countries like italy, greece and france from continuing to cooperate with the peninsula. On top of that, the republic is heading towards its 2nd president ial election in russia with a new generation and have young people heading to the polls. So this, it just says 20 fold. Same Political Activities in crimea has appeared because before 2014, there was no use political agenda on the peninsula, only up to become an impulse of the Russian Federation. Did young people in crimea actively begin to be interested in politics . For mentors began to appear, assisted in gods in young people. I think it is the duty of every citizen to vote and every vote as in paul 10 the crime in us hold the same as pain in i see only a positive direction for the development of the prime me and i use as i am representative of use, i think the tour is mode develop very actively and try me as well as the republic is there was a miniature and if you can find everything here, the order for supplies, despite pressure from the west war violence, sanctions, democracy today is alive and well in crimea, just as it was in 2014 were constantly updated as the coverage on the, on the president ial election head over to our website or to, to come on at an online button called at the. Well, thats time to of the news now. And the latest from central casa where it is 36 civilians have been killed overnight and, and by law the local Health Ministry confirmed that is where hes targeted a residential house with many children, victims of that attack. Well, t
