[00:03:48] The forum is quite representative, a huge number [00:03:50] of various representatives of certain [00:03:53] special services, what would you highlight at this [00:03:56] Minsk conference first of all, why is it important for the future? [00:04:30] as they like to say in the SCO in the Commonwealth [00:04:33] of Independent States, they largely [00:04:36] overlap, they overlap, so understanding [00:04:40] these circumstances, [00:04:43] we have strived for a number of years [00:04:46] to combine our efforts and achieve what [00:04:50] is now called the synergistic effect. What I mean [00:04:53] is, we have the same theme, [00:04:56] we in the CIS in the SCO conduct... [00:05:12] we do not quite rationally use resources, because both [00:05:16] states participate in some events, in [00:05:20] other events, difficulties arise [00:05:23] with compiling the schedule of these events, [00:05:27] with the need to send people on business trips to one [00:05:30] event, to another event, often these [00:05:33] things do not quite coincide in time, it is convenient to [00:05:36] do this, it turns out that those people [00:05:39] who come, well, let's say, to an anti-terrorism [00:05:43] conference under the auspices of the CIS, they [00:05:47] no longer come to the counter-terrorism conference [00:05:50] of RATS in 3 weeks, because they need to [00:05:53] deal with practical matters, each of them has a lot [00:05:56] of things to do in their own state, [00:05:59] it turns out that the level of representation [00:06:02] falls, on the one hand, and on the other hand, [00:06:06] instead of acting as allies and [00:06:09] partners, we act as competitors. The CIS [00:08:06] center works under the leadership of the Council [00:08:09] of Heads of Security Agencies or... [00:08:12] in other words, special services of our CIS [00:08:15] states. These council meetings are held [00:08:19] twice a year, and we definitely report on our work [00:08:22] for the year, we [00:08:25] report at the Council meeting, to the leaders, [00:08:28] we report, but based on the results for last [00:08:32] year, in total, we are not talking about the results [00:08:35] of the work of the anti-terrorism center, as a relatively [00:08:39] small coordination structure, which even... [00:08:42] not so much a coordinating one, but rather its task [00:08:46] is to facilitate the coordination of the activities of special [00:08:50] services of the competent authorities, but we are talking [00:08:53] about the fact that together in the Commonwealth over [00:08:56] the past year we prevented about [00:08:59] 2,500 terrorist and [00:09:02] extremist crimes, of which about 300 [00:09:05] terrorist acts, we have specific figures [00:09:08] for identified and detained terrorists, [00:09:43] which never entered [00:09:46] and do not enter the post-Soviet [00:09:48] space, initially it [00:09:52] was China, the Chinese People's Republic, [00:09:55] the Shanghai Cooperation Organization was [00:09:58] formed in 2000, in [00:10:01] 2001 the regional anti-terrorist [00:10:04] structure, there were then six states, five states [00:10:07] were post-Soviet, Russia, [00:10:10] Uzbekistan, [00:10:12] Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, and [00:10:16] the Chinese People's Republic, well, by the way, the decision [00:10:19] was made then in Shanghai, that's [00:10:22] why the city of Shanghai gave [00:10:25] its name to the organization itself, the Shanghai Cooperation [00:10:29] Organization. In 2017, [00:10:33] two new member states joined the SCO, [00:10:36] this was exactly the period [00:10:39] of my directorship in the regional anti-terrorist structure, [00:10:43] we welcomed partners from India and Pakistan [00:10:46] and they brought their unique [00:10:49] experience in countering terrorism, a very important [00:10:53] step was taken from the point... [00:11:01] Iran and Belarus now have 10, [00:11:04] 10 states, of which six are post-Soviet, [00:11:08] and four states [00:11:11] are from outside the post-Soviet space, [00:11:14] in the CIS all are post-Soviet, [00:11:18] there are two working [00:11:21] languages in RATS, Russian and Chinese, initially, but after that... [00:11:55] of the security of the Soviet Union, we don't talk about it much, [00:11:58] do we, because well, all states [00:12:01] have been sovereign for 35 years, but at the same [00:12:05] time, we also do not abandon our common history. [00:12:08] In terms of goals and objectives, forms [00:12:12] and methods, both the executive committee of the regional [00:12:16] anti-terrorist structure and the anti-terrorist [00:12:19] center are, figuratively speaking, twin brothers, that's [00:12:23] why we... [00:12:55] not demonstrative, exclusively [00:12:57] practice-oriented character, and [00:13:01] within the framework of exercises, we always [00:13:05] work out our interaction, we check [00:13:08] the system of building our relations, we necessarily [00:13:12] use information systems [00:13:15] for collective use, information about [00:13:19] terrorists, about the facts and [00:13:22] signs of their work, other... [00:13:25] information regarding those people [00:13:28] against whom criminal cases have been initiated [00:13:32] under anti-terrorist [00:13:35] articles, regarding people who have been declared on inter-state [00:13:38] wanted lists, is contained in collective [00:13:41] use databases, within [00:13:44] the framework of the ongoing exercises, we necessarily [00:13:48] use these databases and check how our partners work, how [00:13:51] accessible the information is, how quickly they receive this information. [00:13:55] Taking into account that information [00:13:58] technologies are developing very quickly, and not only [00:14:01] information technologies, here we have artificial intelligence, here [00:14:04] we have neural networks, here we have robotics, [00:14:08] unmanned systems, all the achievements of progress [00:14:12] have traditionally been used by terrorist organizations. [00:14:15] Practice shows that everything new that [00:14:18] appears in the life of society, [00:14:21] our common political [00:14:24] adversary in the face of international terrorism tries [00:14:27] to take advantage of it. As for digital technologies, cryptocurrencies, all [00:14:31] this, of course, he tries to use [00:14:34] as a weapon. Our task is to resist at [00:14:37] the level of the competent authorities of each [00:14:41] state, at the level of those measures within [00:14:44] the framework of cooperation that we build, accordingly [00:14:48] in the Commonwealth of Independent States, in the Shanghai [00:14:51] Cooperation Organization, certain elements... [00:14:55] of collective counteraction, we [00:14:57] lay down the scenario of the conducted exercises at [00:15:01] the stages of detection, prevention and [00:15:04] suppression of the actions of conditional terrorists, [00:15:07] who operate in all states involved. Well, [00:15:11] at the final [00:15:14] stage, which [00:15:16] takes place in Minsk, it is usually associated [00:15:20] with conducting actions, with [00:15:24] the involvement of... [00:15:37] in Minsk, is that for the first time in [00:15:40] the practice of the Commonwealth of Independent States, special [00:15:44] forces units from six states participated [00:15:47] in this stage. As [00:15:51] a rule, at the final stage, only special forces [00:15:54] from the host country, where everything takes [00:15:58] place, acted. Our Belarusian partners [00:16:02] invited special forces units [00:16:05] with their own weapons. They invited them, [00:16:08] these are also not simple things, when not just [00:16:12] weapons, but special weapons are imported [00:16:15] across the border, those that are in service [00:16:18] with these units. Our colleagues from [00:16:21] special forces units from [00:16:24] Uzbekistan, from Kazakhstan, [00:16:27] from the Russian Federation, as well as [00:16:31] two countries of the Shanghai family, the Chinese People's [00:16:35] Republic and Islamic... [00:16:38] Iran, never before in practice, [00:16:40] all this is happening in Belarus for the first time. [00:17:08] Belarus in the horseshoe of confrontation. On the one hand, we [00:17:11] are already used to the fact that the closest ally is fighting with [00:17:15] the closest neighbor. This is one of the most painful points of geopolitics [00:17:18] and our common East Slavic civilization. But our society [00:17:22] is minimized from the consequences of hostilities, a successful symbiosis [00:17:26] of diplomacy and military solutions by Ryzhenkov and Khrenin. And at the heart [00:17:29] of it all are Lukashenko's deprivations. On the other hand, the NATO bloc is the largest [00:17:33] international military organization in the world. Most actively [00:17:36] militarized is exactly at our borders, and we do not [00:17:40] have borders, an electrified arc [00:17:43] of tension. Belarusian diplomacy is doing everything to relieve [00:17:46] this tension, but we must remember the lessons of history: our [00:17:50] lands, throughout their historical path, have been trodden by invaders and occupiers. [00:17:54] Again, hostile rhetoric is heard from the same capitals: they [00:17:57] try to satisfy their post-Polish dreams and territorial [00:18:00] ambitions without shame, even without binoculars, this [00:18:04] movement at the borders is noticeable, entire armies are being created. [00:18:07] "Throughout our history, we have never attacked [00:18:11] anyone, but we have had to defend ourselves. [00:18:14] Our people believe, and potential partners [00:18:18] should be sure, it is cheaper not to mess with us, [00:18:22] that's why we keep the army in good shape. Topical [00:18:25] issues, sharp questions, direct answers, all [00:18:28] the truth without cuts and politics without ties with Yevgeny [00:18:32] Pustovoy, watch on Belarus 24 [00:18:35] TV channel. [00:18:38] Army today, tomorrow. Meetings on the sidelines of international [00:18:42] forums are a special type of military diplomacy. Quick [00:18:45] contacts, exchange of opinions, sometimes a single handshake [00:18:49] turns into an official visit or a new channel [00:18:53] of interaction in a few months. [00:18:56] We too often see how the same actions [00:18:59] receive opposite [00:19:01] evaluations depending on who performs [00:19:04] them. In one case, they talk about aggression [00:19:08] against a sovereign state, in another - about [00:19:11] the need for armed intervention. Weapons, [00:19:15] equipment, real male professions and uninvented military [00:19:19] stories. The goal is to jointly [00:19:22] perform tasks regardless of whether it is in mountainous [00:19:26] conditions or in a forested-marshy area. In accordance with the exercise [00:19:29] plan, we have pre-defined the enemy as an illegal armed [00:19:32] formation. Our main [00:19:36] task is to... [00:19:43] watch in the Arsenal project on Sundays on Belarus [00:19:46] 24 TV channel. [00:20:31] Continuing the information broadcast, first a brief overview of the main topics of this [00:20:35] issue. [00:20:37] Attention: checking the results of an experiment on increasing the fertility of sandy [00:20:41] soils in difficult lands. The President visited the experimental field [00:20:44] of Agrokombinat Dzerzhinsky. Storages are [00:20:48] half-empty. gas and a sharp increase in utility [00:20:51] payments this winter. In the Mogilev [00:20:54] region, the selection of future border guards. What qualities must one possess to [00:20:58] serve with dignity?
