[00:00:00] "Yes,
[00:00:56] didn't earn a respite on the battlefield. Moscow doesn't intend to trust
[00:01:00] Kyiv's promise of a truce and will continue to advance on the special operation fronts,
[00:01:03] where two settlements were liberated in a day:
[00:01:07] Nikolskoye and Lidina. This is how school protests affect the upcoming
[00:01:10] presidential elections in France, where one of the candidates is the grandson
[00:01:14] of a Soviet intelligence officer, and a record grape harvest
[00:01:17] is being collected in Kuban. What are the winemakers' plans?
[00:01:21] We will tell you all about it on Vesti. In the studio is Olga Armyakova.
[00:01:24] Hello. And we start with news from the special operation zone,
[00:01:28] where assault detachments.
[00:01:35] This is in the DPR. Thus, our fighters managed to take control of the highway in the section between Dobropolye and
[00:01:38] Kramatorsk. Well, in the Zaporozhye region, marines of the Vostok
[00:01:42] group, as a result of a decisive assault, liberated the
[00:01:45] settlement of Nikolskoye and are now advancing deep into
[00:01:49] the enemy's defenses. Attacks on the rear facilities of the AFU in
[00:01:51] Kharkov region continue; another
[00:01:55] energy facility has been destroyed. Naftogaz stated that the equipment
[00:01:59] received critical damage, and these are new images
[00:02:02] of the affected commercial warehouse of the Epicenter company after
[00:02:05] the arrival of our drone. The AFU stored their military
[00:02:09] cargo there. Also in Dnepropetrovsk, Geraniums burned
[00:02:12] the new post office complex. Another facility was destroyed in
[00:02:16] Belgorod-Dnestrovsky. In Kyiv, eyewitnesses are posting numerous
[00:02:19] arrivals at AFU facilities in different areas online.
[00:02:23] Train traffic has been stopped on the southern bridge, and
[00:02:26] fire footage is being published after the debris fell. This is the last
[00:02:30] work of the Ukrainian air defense system, well, following the electricity supply schedule in the Ukrainian capital,
[00:02:34] similar modes
[00:02:37] for water supply can be introduced. The Ukrainian
[00:02:40] capital faces a catastrophe and an epidemic if the city's
[00:02:43] wastewater treatment system stops working. The Kyiv
[00:02:47] Vodokanal company warns that in three days, without
[00:02:50] electricity and water, the sewerage system will stop
[00:02:53] working. The Ukrainian leadership is preparing the population for the fact
[00:02:57] that soon in most cities, water and light
[00:03:00] will appear once a day, only for a few hours. The director of
[00:03:04] the Energy Research Center has been completely destroyed. Large-scale
[00:03:08] Kharchenko announced that electricity generation in Kyiv
[00:03:11] destruction after attacks by Russian ballistic missiles led to
[00:03:14] global failures in
[00:03:16] the system.
[00:03:19] In Kyiv, where electricity generation reached 1.3 GW per day,
[00:03:23] no electricity is currently being generated. All generation over the past
[00:03:26] month was brought to naught by ballistic missile strikes.
[00:03:31] Round-the-clock drone attacks finally destroyed the illusion of
[00:03:35] security in settlements near Kyiv, where the AFU stores Western
[00:03:39] ammunition. This is the headline today from
[00:03:42] NBC News. As the American TV channel notes,
[00:03:45] militants have to transport shells from one warehouse to another almost every day,
[00:03:49] until the arsenals are not discovered by our
[00:03:51] aerial reconnaissance. Politico writes about the EU's plans
[00:03:55] to impose sanctions against all Russian missile manufacturers. Apparently, Brussels
[00:03:59] is so struck by the pace of work of the Russian military-industrial complex, the measures
[00:04:02] will be in effect for at least 3 years, well, the British Guardian
[00:04:05] notes that the pursuit of Ukrainian anti-aircraft gunners for jet
[00:04:09] geraniums over the Ukrainian capital, this is a quote: a race for
[00:04:12] life and death. The AFU is unable to repel massive
[00:04:16] raids, while most mobile fire groups
[00:04:20] are concentrated in the vicinity of TETS and GES. The
[00:04:23] most vulnerable are high-voltage substations, due to
[00:04:27] constant interruptions, the metro is stopped in the city. Trams
[00:04:30] are not working. In the Dobropolye direction, drone
[00:04:34] operators block the logistics of the AFU, destroying enemy
[00:04:38] UAV launch points. Our interceptors shoot down enemy drones
[00:04:41] before they even appear at our
[00:04:44] positions. A report from the front line by Alexander
[00:04:47] Katsuba. Our jet Geran is in the
[00:04:50] air. The drone is flying to the positions
[00:04:54] of the AFU militants, this is the Dobropolye direction. The Center
[00:04:57] group of forces is advancing. And now a pinpoint
[00:05:00] strike will be delivered against the enemy. The crew of the fifteenth battalion of unmanned systems of the ninetieth
[00:05:04] tank division is preparing another bird for battle.
[00:05:08] Start
[00:05:11] to the southeast. You can just write southeast,
[00:05:14] написать,
[00:05:17] this is the second exit, you see, here is the first, our aerial
[00:05:20] reconnaissance detects an AFU armored vehicle, the enemy hides it under the crowns
[00:05:24] of trees, the crew takes cover in a disguised dugout
[00:05:27] nearby, now we will shoot a more detailed video, a Lancet
[00:05:31] loitering munition with an enhanced charge is sent to the
[00:05:34] target, we detected enemy
[00:05:38] equipment, escorted it to the point, most likely there
[00:05:42] was also an enemy point there, we were given the command to
[00:05:44] use Lancets already, we took off and flew
[00:05:48] and used them successfully. Aerial reconnaissance of the center controls
[00:05:52] all approaches to the defensive lines of the AFU militants, here an enemy
[00:05:56] pickup truck with ammunition is moving at high speed along the road.
[00:05:59] Accordingly, FPV drones will fly there, the range of drones is large, we
[00:06:02] have Supercams, we have KVO,
[00:06:06] Zalas, plus Lancets, well, our range is large and for
[00:06:10] different tasks, each chooses their own aircraft. The enemy tries
[00:06:13] to interfere with our scouts, launches its
[00:06:16] interceptor drone to the west, we are 11 km away
[00:06:19] from us, our newest stealth drones strike the enemy at a distance
[00:06:23] of up to 100 km. x51 is already
[00:06:26] the latest development, and there is a video that
[00:06:30] silence is what already reaches, neither
[00:06:33] RLS nor electronic warfare see it,
[00:06:37] we reach the target, the shell we have is a
[00:06:40] battleaxe cumulative charge. The shell
[00:06:43] hits armored vehicles, it can
[00:06:46] hit buildings.
[00:06:48] Under target, fortified strongholds, armored vehicles, drones of all
[00:06:52] kinds, entrenched AFU infantry. Alexander
[00:06:56] Katsuba, Alexander Malyshev, Vesti: Dobropolye
[00:06:59] direction. Russia does not intend to give
[00:07:02] Zelensky a chance to rearm. Sergey Lavrov said this today,
[00:07:05] answering journalists' questions after
[00:07:09] talks in Moscow with the Lebanese Foreign Minister. The head of the Russian
[00:07:13] Foreign Ministry stressed that the head of the Kyiv regime is talking about a ceasefire
[00:07:16] for only one purpose: to buy time, to get
[00:07:20] a respite and to enable Europe to pump Ukraine with new
[00:07:23] weapons.
[00:07:26] He really wants to use any
[00:07:28] words, any
[00:07:32] initiatives, any ideas that
[00:07:36] enter the public space in order to promote
[00:07:40] his... his
[00:07:43] interest in
[00:07:45] a respite by any means necessary. I don't think he
[00:07:49] deserves a respite. I don't think that we will
[00:07:52] once again fall
[00:07:55] for assurances
[00:07:58] and promises. The US State Department and the Pentagon
[00:08:02] have officially notified Ukraine and Europe that Washington will stop
[00:08:06] exchanging intelligence data with Kyiv if the AFU continues to attack
[00:08:09] Russian energy facilities. This information is being voiced
[00:08:13] today by CNN, noting that the sale of weapons to
[00:08:16] EU countries for Ukraine may be banned. However, Zelensky,
[00:08:20] apparently, did not hear the warning. Today he entered into an заочная
[00:08:23] exchange with Trump, refused calls not to strike
[00:08:27] oil refineries, stating that the head of the White House ends wars
[00:08:30] only on the internet, not in reality. The Financial
[00:08:34] Times newspaper reports that fiery speeches from Kyiv will cost
[00:08:38] all of Ukraine dearly. And according to information close to the White House,
[00:08:41] the portal Ah.
[00:09:20] According to him, for Germany, the diesel deal between Moscow and Washington is
[00:09:23] unacceptable, and sanctions against Russia, as well as other economic
[00:09:27] pressure, must be repeatedly tightened.
[00:09:30] Who else is against the stabilization of world prices? Who is willing
[00:09:33] to pay triple for Kyiv? Watch our correspondent's report from the US,
[00:09:37] Dmitry Melnikov. Today on Vesti at 8:00 PM.
[00:09:41] вестях в 20:00.
[00:09:44] Battalions and companies of the Russian armed forces will be awarded
[00:09:47] honorary titles in honor of fallen defenders of the homeland, who
[00:09:51] distinguished themselves during the performance of combat missions. The corresponding decree
[00:09:55] was signed today by Vladimir Putin. The Ministry of Defense previously
[00:09:58] explained that this measure will serve to increase the prestige
[00:10:01] of military service, preserve and enhance military traditions,
[00:10:05] as well as educate military personnel in the spirit of loyalty to military
[00:10:08] duty. An investment tax certificate
[00:10:12] for business was proposed to be introduced at a meeting with Vladimir Putin by
[00:10:15] the chairman of Business Russia, Alexey Repik. The conversation took place
[00:10:19] on the eve of the anniversary congress dedicated to the 25th anniversary of
[00:10:22] the organization.
[00:10:55] business felt calm, confident, at
[00:10:58] home, felt safe
[00:11:01] and understood that the state stands
[00:11:04] on guard of its interests, just as business today
[00:11:07] responds to the state to all challenges that Russia
[00:11:11] faces, business has accumulated serious and important
[00:11:15] competencies for the country, neglecting this potential for the purposes
[00:11:18] of national development is never right, how to use them to the
[00:11:21] maximum, we have a whole set of ideas. So that
[00:11:25] money goes into new investments, there are two
[00:11:29] main conditions: the first is macroeconomic stability, so here
[00:11:32] it was very important, of course, to balance the budget, by the way, we fully support
[00:11:36] the logic of the budget that the government submitted, because
[00:11:39] Business Russia is ready to abandon a number
[00:11:43] of tax and fiscal concessions that we had
[00:11:46] for the period that the country needs, it is better to have a certain increase in taxes today
[00:11:50] than infinitely high rates forever and than a budget
[00:11:54] imbalance. The main parameters of the federal
[00:11:57] budget project were considered today by the special committee of the State Duma, as
[00:12:01] Minister of Finance Anton Siluanov emphasized, the document was prepared with
[00:12:04] stability to any scenarios on international
[00:12:07] markets, while all social obligations will be
[00:12:11] fulfilled.
[00:12:13] The first priority is the fulfillment of social
[00:12:16] obligations to our
[00:12:18] citizens, all necessary
[00:12:22] appropriations for indexation.
[00:12:46] from April by
[00:12:48] 3.3%,
[00:12:50] the forecast for socio-economic development is also in focus. The possibility of easing
[00:13:06] monetary conditions will
[00:13:09] depend on the sustained slowdown in inflation. The economic
[00:13:12] dynamics embedded in the forecast imply
[00:13:15] an acceleration of GDP growth rates from 0.6% in
[00:13:19] 2026 to 1.4%
[00:13:22] in 2027 and 2.4.
[00:13:47] near Khabarovsk, where roads are covered in snow, on the roads near
[00:13:50] Tynda, a white veil to the horizon, cars get stuck
[00:13:53] on the Kultukovsky tract in
[00:13:56] Irkutsk region, utility services work in an enhanced
[00:14:00] mode, in Krasnoyarsk region autumn dampness has been replaced by
[00:14:03] frosts, on the roads cars, like figure skaters performing
[00:14:14] ice show on the lake polished by frost
[00:14:17] to a mirror shine was arranged by Yakut
[00:14:20] fishermen.
[00:14:23] For the Russian economy, it is important not just to ensure industrial independence, but
[00:14:27] to create new markets for its own breakthrough
[00:14:29] developments. Mikhail Mishustin said this today. The Prime Minister
[00:14:33] emphasized that to achieve these goals, the authorities are forming
[00:14:36] an ecosystem, from conducting scientific research to launching
[00:14:40] serial production. In addition, several national
[00:14:44] projects are being implemented in the country.
[00:14:46] The President outlined technological leadership among the key
[00:14:50] national goals, for this purpose nine large-scale national
[00:14:53] projects are being implemented at an active pace. Each of them
[00:14:56] has the necessary funding in the three-year
[00:14:59] federal budget, which is being prepared for the first reading in the State
[00:15:02] Duma, about 2 trillion rubles
[00:15:06] are provided for such purposes in total. Our main common task is
[00:15:09] to maintain a stable growth dynamic, and for this, of course, we need
[00:15:13] to use all tools of technological policy
[00:15:17] of the state as effectively as possible. Today I
[00:15:19] propose to assess the pace of work, current challenges and risks, and make
[00:15:23] additional decisions. strengthening domestic
[00:15:26] industry and providing citizens primarily with
[00:15:29] high-quality and affordable goods. The
[00:15:33] northern delivery is nearing completion in Chukotka - 6,000 tons of
[00:15:36] cargo, food, industrial goods, equipment, and
[00:15:39] building materials were delivered to the port of Anadyr by the Fesca
[00:15:42] Tatarstan motor ship. One of the last voyages of this season was met by our
[00:15:46] correspondent, Anna Martyashkina.
[00:15:49] A semi-trailer pulls a valuable cargo uphill. The container
[00:15:53] contains food products. 96 of them arrived on board the
[00:15:56] Fesca Tatarstan. Unloading
[00:15:59] will take about two days and one
[00:16:02] more day for return empty
[00:16:05] rented containers and that's it, basically. Three days and
[00:16:08] we'll let go. The ship docked at noon on Sunday.
[00:16:11] Unloading began immediately. There was no time to delay. Fesca Tatarstan was already
[00:16:15] delayed by 3 days. They had to weather the storm in the Bay of the Cross.
[00:16:18] Unloading of the ship continued tonight as well. Dockers work in several shifts.
[00:16:22] During the navigation period, the seaport switches to round-the-clock operation.
[00:16:26] Only unfavorable weather conditions can hinder it.
[00:16:30] However, not this time, the process of processing the motorship
[00:16:33] must be completed as soon as possible, because the goods it brought are very
[00:16:37] important to the residents of the district center. The cargo is immediately sent to retail
[00:16:40] outlets. Food navigation in Chukotka is almost
[00:16:44] 86% complete. 17,900 tons of food
[00:16:46] products have been delivered to the district by sea. Navigation is already
[00:16:50] coming to its logical conclusion. Along
[00:16:54] the line of the unified sea operator, we are still
[00:16:57] expecting two vessels. The transport and logistics
[00:17:01] company Fesca is completing its work in Chukotka. This is the last vessel, as
[00:17:04] sailors say, in this year's navigation in the sea. Anadyr plans
[00:17:08] to receive at least four more motor ships, after which the season
[00:17:12] will be closed. Anna Martyashkina, Alexander Kuzmenov, Vesti
[00:17:15] Chukotka.
[00:17:17] Well, in our next issue. What was Spanish Prime Minister
[00:17:20] Sanchez whistled for, and can the voting age in France be lowered to
[00:17:24] 16 years old? A radical proposal against the backdrop of student
[00:17:27] protests? We'll tell you after the commercial. It won't be long. Stay with
[00:17:31] us.
[00:22:50] Vesti and we continue the broadcast. Brussels has launched
[00:22:53] a smear campaign against Rosatom. This is stated in
[00:22:56] a statement by the press office of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service. According to
[00:23:00] the agency, the customer of the information campaign against the state nuclear corporation
[00:23:03] was the leadership of the European Commission led by Ursula von der Leyen. One of
[00:23:07] the goals is to force the government of Peter Madjar in Hungary
[00:23:10] to abandon the construction of the Paks-2 nuclear power plant. The SVR
[00:23:14] notes that Eurobureaucrats openly admitted their
[00:23:17] inability for European manufacturers to honestly compete with
[00:23:21] Russia in the nuclear energy market, and
[00:23:24] this means that any other option for the construction of Paks-2 in Hungary will be less
[00:23:27] effective and less safe.
[00:23:31] Russia will certainly attack, but not next year. With these
[00:23:34] words, the commander-in-chief of the combined forces of the Alliance in Europe, Grinkevich, tried
[00:23:38] to calm Europeans today. On the sidelines of the security forum
[00:23:41] in Warsaw, the general stated that the risk of a full-scale conflict between
[00:23:45] Moscow and NATO is not high today.
[00:23:49] Attack.
[00:23:55] We have no ambitions, no plans, no intentions other than to protect
[00:23:59] our territory and our people, therefore any characterization
[00:24:02] of NATO's activities as offensive in nature, in my
[00:24:05] opinion, is very easily logically refuted, so that others
[00:24:09] also acknowledge that it is simply a kind
[00:24:11] of nonsense.
[00:24:13] NATO's key target remains 2029, by which
[00:24:17] time member countries must fully switch to a military footing
[00:24:20] to be ready for battle on the eastern flank in the Baltics.
[00:24:24] The buildup of forces near Russia's borders is expensive for local
[00:24:28] farmers. For example, in Latvia, sharp militarization caused
[00:24:31] crop failure. Lands suitable for growing
[00:24:34] agricultural crops are now occupied by defensive structures and tank
[00:24:38] training grounds. Germany is also preparing, as the local press writes,
[00:24:42] the largest defense concern Rheinmetall will now engage in
[00:24:45] the production of aerospace reconnaissance equipment. In the battle for
[00:24:49] the Baltic Sea, Berlin wants to rely not only on data from
[00:24:53] allies. French opposition leaders,
[00:24:56] Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Melenchon, are significantly
[00:25:00] ahead of their closest rivals in the presidential race in next
[00:25:03] year's elections. This is indicated by the results of a social survey
[00:25:06] published by Reuters. The agency notes that
[00:25:09] the unpopular President Macron leaves behind a weakened
[00:25:13] political center and an economy in a deplorable state, and this
[00:25:16] opens up additional opportunities for alternative political forces.
[00:25:20] Another factor that could influence the upcoming elections was the large-scale student
[00:25:24] protests, as a result of which over 6,600
[00:25:27] young people were detained. A precedent for
[00:25:30] the highest post from the radical left, Jean-Luc
[00:25:33] Melenchon, has already realized this fact. Speaking at an election
[00:25:37] rally, he supported the protest movement and proposed
[00:25:40] lowering the voting age to 16
[00:25:43] years.
[00:25:51] No, in general we are not going to prepare our children and grandchildren to
[00:25:55] die for some adventurous operation
[00:25:58] invented by NATO. We advocate a policy of non-alignment.
[00:26:02] We want to decide for ourselves what to do, where to do it, and how to do
[00:26:06] it. Socialists have also chosen
[00:26:10] their candidate; it is the son of a philosopher well-known in France
[00:26:13] and the grandson of a Soviet intelligence officer who died in 1940,
[00:26:17] Raphaël Glucksmann. After he
[00:26:20] celebrated his victory in the primaries, he was attacked right outside the
[00:26:23] bar; an unknown person showered the politician with flour
[00:26:26] and fled.
[00:26:29] Well, now briefly about what else the world lives on.
[00:26:36] In Spain, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez was whistled at during
[00:26:39] a parade in honor of National Day. The exchange of greetings with the king and
[00:26:43] his wife was also maximally cold. Anti-government
[00:26:47] protests in the country are not subsiding against the backdrop of the invasion of illegal immigrants into
[00:26:50] Ceuta, as well as due to the housing crisis and rising rental
[00:26:54] prices.
[00:26:59] Nine Russian tourists were cut off from the outside world in the mountains of Nepal due to
[00:27:03] flooding, which destroyed roads and trails. The group had to
[00:27:07] climb higher in search of a safe place. The lives and
[00:27:10] health of the Russians are not threatened, they are waiting for helicopter
[00:27:14] evacuation. And in Kaliningrad, the new
[00:27:17] attraction temporarily became the Bahamian
[00:27:21] dry cargo ship that was washed ashore. during the storm. While the crew
[00:27:24] waits for a decision on what to do with the ship next, local bloggers
[00:27:28] are posting colorful videos on social media.
[00:27:32] This year's grape harvest in Kuban could be one of the best
[00:27:35] in the last decade. Farmers plan to harvest no less
[00:27:39] than 300,000 tons. A snowy winter and cool summer
[00:27:42] ensured the high quality of the berries. Our
[00:27:46] correspondent Sergey Sidorenko confirmed this.
[00:27:50] A good harvest is laid even before the seedlings are planted
[00:27:54] in the vineyards. About 85% of success
[00:27:57] is due to the right choice of land. We are located
[00:28:00] at an altitude of 200
[00:28:02] meters above sea level, that is, all
[00:28:06] possible, so to speak, weather conditions
[00:28:09] with precipitation,
[00:28:13] a mild winter, allow us here, so to speak,
[00:28:16] to grow an excellent harvest. Specialists
[00:28:20] monitor vine pruning, calculate when and how much
[00:28:23] fertilizer or pest control is needed. The technology
[00:28:26] for creating an elite drink requires painstaking work

[00:28:33] combines that pluck all the grapes indiscriminately; only selected
[00:28:37] bunches fall into the picker's hands. The picker's task
[00:28:40] is to find the ideal grape. The bunch should be large
[00:28:44] and weighty, and this must be done quite quickly. In
[00:28:48] a working day, which lasts from 6 AM to 3 PM,
[00:28:52] дня, один сборщик может собрать до 70
[00:28:56] such boxes of grapes, which
[00:28:59] totals about a thousand kg. The vineyards on this
[00:29:03] farm span more than 15 hectares. From such an area
[00:29:06] this year, they plan to harvest about 140 tons
[00:29:09] of berries, which is 20 tons more than last year's
[00:29:12] result. We just took a loan for
[00:29:16] current expenses of 5 million, but every year we receive this with

[00:29:23] we received
[00:29:26] 10 million for the purchase of equipment. These tanks,

[00:29:40] which the filtered wine material is sent for
[00:29:42] aging. This year, the region plans
[00:29:46] to produce more than 330 million bottles of wine. Sergey
