[00:00:30] how do you assess the situation we have today, especially
[00:00:33] since the flu
[00:00:35] season, as we say, is just around the corner. The peculiarity of this
[00:00:38] season is that the composition of
[00:00:42] flu vaccines today has been completely changed for all three
[00:00:46] components, including influenza A1N1,
[00:00:49] influenza AH3N2, and influenza
[00:00:52] B. Completely new components have been included in the
[00:00:55] vaccine. This means that we have not encountered these
[00:00:59] viruses before. The vaccines are prepared in accordance with
[00:01:02] recommendations. The Russian Federation has excellent
[00:01:05] quadrivalent and trivalent vaccines against all variants
[00:01:08] of the influenza virus that may come to us, and today they include a
[00:01:12] completely new antigenic composition, which
[00:01:15] is prescribed. Vaccines are already being delivered to the regions, their
[00:01:19] quantity is sufficient, and the readiness for
[00:01:22] carrying out the vaccination campaign is also quite high. We
[00:01:26] are confident that within 2-2 months
[00:01:29] we will be able to vaccinate the entire population that needs to be
[00:01:32] vaccinated. Therefore, as of today, the readiness for the situation
[00:01:36] is high. The Russian Federation, due to vaccinating such a high
[00:01:40] percentage of the total population, handles this situation
[00:01:43] much more calmly than a number of other
[00:01:46] countries. A Russian drone struck
[00:01:50] an international road checkpoint in the Volyn region of Ukraine, the
[00:01:54] Ministry of Defense reported. Earlier, new strikes were reported on
[00:01:58] Ukrainian infrastructure. In the Odesa
[00:02:00] region, a logistics center was hit, in the port of Chornomorsk, two
[00:02:03] ships, in Kyiv and the Sumy region, gas stations, in the
[00:02:07] Kharkiv region, a warehouse with drones and components. And in the western
[00:02:10] regions of Ukraine, strikes were carried out on railway infrastructure. All
[00:02:14] the details from Vladislav Kharchenko.
[00:02:17] Kyiv, Bazhana Avenue, a gas
[00:02:19] station attacked by our Geranium, and this is smoke already in another district of the Ukrainian
[00:02:23] capital. The combined attack on fuel infrastructure was
[00:02:27] more than successful. In the Sumy region, Geranium hit
[00:02:35] an Anp gas station, where the Armed Forces of Ukraine often refueled military
[00:02:38] equipment.
[00:02:40] In the Kharkiv region, in the village of Veliky Burluk,
[00:02:44] after a precise attack by our Aerospace Forces, a warehouse is burning down. In it, the Armed Forces of Ukraine stored
[00:02:47] military equipment, drones. Firefighters are not coping with the fire.
[00:02:51] Everything inside burned to the ground.
[00:02:55] Clouds of smoke are rising in the part of Zaporizhzhia controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. A large
[00:02:58] Horizon substation is burning, transformers that supplied
[00:03:02] electricity to almost the entire city have been hit. Now enterprises
[00:03:05] have stopped working, and it is unclear when
[00:03:08] electricity will appear.
[00:03:09] The maps of missile danger
[00:03:14] alerts were glowing red across the entire territory of Ukraine last
[00:03:18] night. Explosions thundered in the Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Sumy,
[00:03:21] Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk regions, in the part of Zaporizhzhia
[00:03:24] controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Jet Geraniums hit targets in the waters of
[00:03:28] the Black Sea. In the Odesa region, a logistics center in the settlement
[00:03:32] of Velyka Balka, providing storage and distribution of military cargo
[00:03:36] coming to Ukraine from abroad, was hit. In the port of Chornomorsk, a sea vessel of the
[00:03:40] dry cargo type and a ferry that delivered cargo intended for
[00:03:43] supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine were also hit. In addition, in Odesa, a strike was carried out on the warehouses
[00:03:46] of the military academy located near the Lazovsky horse
[00:03:50] factory. Thanks to a precise strike, black smoke plumes covered the entire
[00:03:53] area within a radius of hundreds of meters. The military property
[00:03:56] inside the building burned out completely.
[00:04:04] Russian Aerospace Forces, in conjunction with unmanned aviation, destroy enemy
[00:04:07] logistics even in the most remote corners of Ukraine. In the western
[00:04:11] regions of Ukraine, strikes continued on railway infrastructure facilities
[00:04:14] used for transporting military cargo from European
[00:04:17] countries. In the area of the village of Rymachi, Volyn region, a Geranium-4
[00:04:20] drone struck a railway train that
[00:04:23] regularly transported military cargo, including Western
[00:04:27] drones. The strikes are becoming regular, and
[00:04:30] logistics are deteriorating. The situation for the Ukrainian troops in the
[00:04:34] vicinity of Yahodyn is no better. Objective control footage confirms
[00:04:37] the destruction of the road checkpoint through which military
[00:04:41] cargo was also transported. Supplies have been stopped.
[00:04:44] The situation for the Armed Forces of Ukraine on all sectors
[00:04:47] of the front is becoming increasingly difficult. Clear and coordinated actions of our units
[00:04:51] leave the enemy no chances. In response to attacks on civilian targets on
[00:04:55] Russian territory, our Aerospace Forces launch preemptive strikes.
[00:04:59] The former prosecutor is now in France, where
[00:05:45] he left the day before. All this is happening against the backdrop of an investigation by the
[00:05:48] National Anti-Corruption Bureau into the activities of fraudulent
[00:05:52] call centers in Ukraine. Kravchenko allegedly patronized them.
[00:05:55] He, in turn, did not remain in debt and this morning published a video in which,
[00:05:58] as claimed, the current director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, Semen Kryvonos, demands
[00:06:02] a bribe of more than 70 thousand dollars for allocating land in the Kyiv
[00:06:06] region. Earlier, the prosecutor had already brought charges against the leadership of
[00:06:09] NABU, who deny receiving such documents, but
[00:06:13] Kravchenko stated that his accusations were simply
[00:06:17] withdrawn under pressure. And in the Ukrainian media, a version appeared that Zelensky
[00:06:20] himself tried to put pressure on NABU through Kravchenko. I recall that a year
[00:06:24] ago he already tried to limit the powers of anti-corruption agencies,
[00:06:27] but he was stopped by Washington.
[00:06:30] Financial support for Ukraine is becoming an unbearable
[00:06:34] burden for the EU economy.
[00:06:35] Kyiv demands 27 billion
[00:06:38] dollars from European partners to replenish its defense
[00:06:42] budget. Nika Inkovaya will continue the topic. She is with us in the studio. Nika,
[00:06:45] hello, so where did exactly such
[00:06:49] money, such figures, 27 billion come from? Hello,
[00:06:52] a very good question, the members of the coalition of the willing,
[00:06:55] these are Western countries that support Kyiv, are asking the same question.
[00:06:59] No one in Kyiv can intelligibly answer where the specific sums come from,
[00:07:02] nor can they explain how... 27
[00:07:06] billion dollars, this is the amount that Kyiv estimated as the deficit
[00:07:10] of the defense budget. In the EU, the news caused a bombshell effect, because
[00:07:17] Ukraine plans to replenish the shortage of funds, as
[00:07:20] usual, at the expense of the European treasury.
[00:07:24] 30 billion. 30 billion dollars is the amount that
[00:07:28] we can should receive from our
[00:07:29] partners this year if we fulfill
[00:07:32] our obligations. The funds are already provided by
[00:07:36] approved support programs for Ukraine from partners, primarily European ones.
[00:07:39] We also have a 27 billion dollar deficit in the defense budget. We
[00:07:43] are asking to cover it with emergency financing. Work is still
[00:07:46] ongoing, we need to jointly convince partners to help cover this
[00:07:50] deficit part.
[00:07:53] Europeans simply did not expect that Ukraine's budget hole would be so significant
[00:07:57] and appear so soon, reported The Washington Post, citing
[00:08:00] diplomats. The deficit, according to
[00:08:04] Sni, arose because the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense prematurely spent funds on purchasing
[00:08:08] drones and interceptors intended for a whole year. But in addition, the Ukrainian
[00:08:11] authorities cite a reduction in revenues due to the blockade of ports, which
[00:08:15] accounted for 90% of agricultural
[00:08:19] exports. So far, only one and a half billion dollars have been redirected to defense needs,
[00:08:23] but this is just a drop in the ocean, considering the total amount.
[00:08:26] Meanwhile, the coalition of the willing had a question: where
[00:08:30] exactly did such a sum of 27 billion dollars come from? And
[00:08:33] how, in general, does Kyiv spend the money received from the EU?
[00:08:37] Costs are rising, revenues are falling.
[00:08:41] The Ukrainian economy and budget revenues are currently in
[00:08:44] a severe crisis. The reason:
[00:08:48] the closure of Black Sea ports, problems with
[00:08:51] shipping goods in Danube
[00:08:54] ports, problems with delivering goods by rail
[00:08:58] and by road, as a result, a situation arose
[00:09:01] where there is not enough money for the budget, especially since many
[00:09:04] warehouses have been destroyed. The expected damage to the Ukrainian
[00:09:07] economy this year will amount to up to 10 billion
[00:09:11] dollars, calculated the Ministry of Economy and Environment
[00:09:14] of the country. Local businesses are going through
[00:09:17] difficult times. Kyiv authorities are considering raising
[00:09:20] VAT. The Ministry of Finance of Ukraine reported that the country
[00:09:24] may start delaying social payments. I
[00:09:27] remind you, for the past few years, Kyiv has been forming a budget with
[00:09:30] a record deficit. The European taxpayer
[00:09:34] pays for everything. We must reduce these proposals by several
[00:09:37] hundred billion euros for the entire financial period. It is also necessary
[00:09:41] to be realistic about increasing
[00:10:55] the overall debt. Excessive debt is a threat to our
[00:10:58] sovereignty and ability to act. In
[00:11:01] Europe, the question is increasingly being asked: are Kyiv's financial demands
[00:11:05] not overstated? Opposition forces have been expressing
[00:11:08] their dissatisfaction openly and for a long time. For example, the leader of the French National
[00:11:12] Rally, Marine Le Pen, emphasized: Paris cannot
[00:11:15] afford to continue supporting Kyiv. I remind you, her
[00:11:19] party voted against the 90 billion
[00:11:22] euro loan provided to Ukraine in the spring. For Alternative for Germany, the course on
[00:11:25] revising aid to Ukraine and restoring energy ties with Moscow helped to win
[00:11:29] the elections in Saxony Anhalt.
[00:11:32] In Vladivostok, people are used to getting up early and waiting for the whole
[00:11:36] country to wake up, but
[00:11:40] when big opportunities appear in business, you can't
[00:11:44] wait. A business loan at
[00:11:45] T-Bank is more convenient than you're used to.

[00:12:56] suddenly it's mine.

[00:15:32] Follow your dream with
[00:15:42] Russia, the main motto of the international youth festival in
[00:15:45] Yekaterinburg. Participants, and there are more than 10 thousand of them, learn
[00:15:48] about the culture and history of our country, and also talk about their homeland.
[00:15:52] All these days, our correspondent Svetlana Chmykhala has been working in Yekaterinburg, and she
[00:15:56] is now directly connected to the studio. Svetlana,
[00:15:59] hello, what is happening at the festival today?
[00:16:02] Hello colleagues, we continue
[00:16:10] to work at the youth festival in Yekaterinburg, there are still
[00:16:14] dances, songs, communication sometimes fails, but in general there is
[00:16:17] a feeling that during these days of the festival young people have already managed
[00:16:20] to get acquainted, make friends and truly feel
[00:16:24] comfortable, like at home. A guest of the festival
[00:16:27] from India shared his emotions with us.
[00:16:31] very beautiful,
[00:16:32] своими.
[00:18:07] we really liked it, everything
[00:18:11] is wonderful, we came here just
[00:18:14] to perform at the festival and we
[00:18:17] are happy with you, what kind of costumes do you have? We have a Lebanese
[00:18:21] traditional costume, we dance, we present our
[00:18:24] traditional dance, Dabke.
[00:18:27] One might think that at the festival people only
[00:18:33] sing and dance, but no... A few words about the Backstadt Center, where
[00:19:10] the festival is held, it's a huge space, 150
[00:19:14] thousand square meters, roughly like 21 football
[00:19:17] fields. By the way, from here any participant of the festival can send
[00:19:21] a postcard to their homeland.
[00:19:24] Where are you from? Sierra Leone. Who are you
[00:19:27] singing to on the postcard? My wife. Your
[00:19:31] wife, yes. What are your emotions from this festival?
[00:19:34] The opportunity to meet others. This is a headpiece
[00:20:07] called a "tukhrya", and it is worn by unmarried women, meaning
[00:20:10] it's immediately a sign for single participants
[00:20:13] that you are unmarried. Well, yes,
[00:20:16] but now it is simply considered our heritage,
[00:20:20] we really love our jingling coins,
[00:20:24] and this, of course, usually attracts
[00:20:28] participants from other regions and even other
[00:20:30] countries. We are very happy to talk about our
[00:20:34] culture, because it is culture that unites our
[00:20:37] youth.
[00:20:43] And youth festivals really treat national costumes and national
[00:20:46] traditions with great care. Here,
[00:20:50] stereotypes are actively
[00:20:51] fought.
[00:20:55] There are many people from different countries at the festival. We already
[00:20:59] had breakfast today, for example, I had breakfast with a girl from
[00:21:01] Brazil. She has very vivid impressions
[00:21:05] about Russia and about the forum. She shared that
[00:21:08] she was afraid to come to Russia, and her friends dissuaded her from it,
[00:21:12] saying that Russia is dangerous, scary.
[00:21:15] But she said that when she came here, she felt
[00:21:18] such a friendly atmosphere.
[00:21:22] We had a great time talking, exchanged contacts, and
[00:21:25] also exchanged prizes and souvenirs. I gave her
[00:21:28] a matryoshka doll keychain, and she gave me the flag of
[00:21:31] Brazil.
[00:21:36] I remind you that the international youth festival in Yekaterinburg is held
[00:21:39] by presidential decree. Over 4 months, 113 applications
[00:21:43] were submitted. People
[00:21:45] came here,
[00:21:48] people,
