00:03:01Let's revive history, let's remember what is impossible
00:03:04to forget. The demand for Belarusian goods in
00:03:07the world market. Foreign exchange earnings from agricultural product sales
00:03:11grew by approximately a quarter compared to last year's level. We will

00:03:49cooperation with one of the largest Russian companies.
00:03:53At the Palace of Independence today, the President received a well-known
00:03:56entrepreneur in business circles, Vladimir Potanin.
00:05:01and joint projects for servicing and creating
00:05:04new equipment in the Krasnoyarsk Krai, this
00:05:07is also an interesting and promising project for us, and
00:05:11since you...
00:05:28and the IT sector, we know how to do some things in Belarus, you also know perfectly well what we can do, so we are open to cooperation and would like your successful company, even in these difficult
00:05:32times, to cooperate with
00:06:12during this trip, we manage to turn common plans
00:06:15into concrete projects, you already mentioned
00:06:19BelAZ, we signed an agreement yesterday, this
00:06:23allows us to solve not only the issue of saturating our enterprise with mining
00:06:27equipment, but joint cooperation will allow us to create a new
00:06:30line of equipment, which, according to our calculations, in our
00:06:34hopes, will successfully compete with the best
00:06:37samples, because we add elements of
00:06:40work related to unmanned vehicles.
00:08:42with joint efforts to maintain positions in markets
00:08:46from which we, like Russia and Belarus,
00:08:49are trying to be pushed out, and accordingly, to enter new
00:08:52markets, and speaking in sporting terms, in good shape, so
00:08:56that when, so to speak, the whistle blows and a new, so
00:09:00to speak, round of competitions is announced, to perform in them
00:09:03with dignity. Also, Vladimir Potanin drew attention
00:09:07to a thorough, thoughtful approach to developing
00:09:10cooperation. According to him, there is quite a lot.
00:10:14And in St. Petersburg today, a unique project was presented: "Concert Requiem
00:10:17Every Third." More than 100 Belarusian artists took the
00:10:20stage to honor the memory of the victims and heroes of the Great Patriotic War,
00:10:25and to tell about the unacceptability of the revival of Nazism. The date
00:10:28was not chosen by chance. September 8th is the day of remembrance for the victims
00:10:31of the Leningrad Blockade. Ilona Volynets on common history
00:10:35and memory. The Siege of Leningrad and the tragedy
00:10:39of Belarus: two sides of the same coin. During the Great Patriotic War,
00:10:43representatives of both nations fought shoulder to shoulder.
00:10:46The memory of those terrible events is preserved at the Piskarevskoye cemetery in
00:10:49St. Petersburg, a place of mass burial, where
00:10:53thousands rest. Both Russians
00:10:55and Belarusians. Today, on the eighty-fifth anniversary of the beginning of the Leningrad
00:10:59blockade, flowers were laid at the monument. Victory is a shared
00:11:02achievement, preserving memory is a sacred
00:11:05duty.
00:11:14Shoulder to shoulder, our peoples walk in peaceful
00:11:17times. The foundation of people's well-being is the economy. This was
00:11:21already discussed at the meeting of the head of the administration of the President of Belarus with the governor
00:11:25of the Leningrad region. Trade turnover over 5 years has doubled.
00:11:28Our products are here in abundance, and Belarusian
00:11:32passenger transport regularly runs on city streets.
00:11:35Many new projects have appeared. The parties are building
00:11:38joint ventures and modernizing infrastructure. For
00:11:41example, Belarusians have successfully started to engage in the construction of
00:11:45distribution gas pipelines. Our
00:11:47companies were also offered to participate in the project for
00:11:51the construction of the Vysokoye grain terminal.
00:11:55The clean forest program, the Leningrad region is actively
00:11:58developing its timber industry complex, as Alexandrovich correctly
00:12:02noted today, the region has the same plans that the Republic of Belarus
00:12:06had at one time, in addition to actually harvesting
00:12:09timber for logging, this
00:12:12is the development of boiler houses using alternative, or as we call them in Belarus,
00:12:16local types of fuel, the main of which are
00:12:19wood chips and wood pellets, we have a very successful
00:12:22program, if this experience works.
00:12:33specialized equipment for the Leningrad region, we will definitely
00:12:37continue this work, we have a very high percentage
00:12:39of completion of the previous two roadmaps, this was
00:12:42noted by the presidents of our countries, that
00:12:45it is indeed a very highly effective cooperation. On
00:12:49a significant date for St. Petersburg, Belarusians brought a unique project,
00:12:52a concert every third. This is a synthesis
00:12:55of a musical performance and a theatrical production with
00:12:58elements of documentary cinema, based on rare
00:13:02photo and video documents related to different periods of
00:13:05the war. You know, honestly, when creating the project, we did
00:13:09not expect it to be so in demand. Perhaps
00:13:13the times dictate such conditions that such projects are needed,
00:13:16they are needed not only in our country, but also in the Russian Federation,
00:13:20and we are glad that our project finds a response in the hearts
00:13:23of Russian viewers. And that more and more Russian cities invite us to
00:13:27show this project on their venues. On stage are distinguished
00:13:31collectives, artists, soloists, a total of over 100 participants aged
00:13:346 to 70 years old, and no, they are not playing, they are literally
00:13:38reliving those terrible days again.
00:13:41This is still history, the history of our ancestors,
00:13:45the history of our countries, and we, as
00:13:48the younger generation, I believe that we are obliged
00:13:52to preserve it, to remember. And
00:13:56pass it on to the younger generation, to our children, for any
00:13:59composer, for any author, this is great
00:14:02happiness, to write works
00:14:05that, well, I will not be afraid to say it, and I
00:14:09want to believe and hope that they will remain for
00:14:12centuries, that is, this is the music that is not
00:14:15fleeting. In parallel, viewers get acquainted with two exhibitions:
00:14:18the fates of the dead can be traced through personal photos, letters,
00:14:22postcards, with the help of an interactive stand... the Partisans of
00:14:25Belarus project, you can find your relative among the partisans and
00:14:29underground fighters of Belarus. We came to this requiem concert so that
00:14:33children would remember, know what trouble our country had, what
00:14:36our people went through, what small children and old people went through,
00:14:40how many people died, so that we can now stand here under
00:14:44a peaceful sky, so that we can work, look at the
00:14:47sun, so that our children can grow up. Even more facts
00:14:51and truth in a series of Belarusian books about the Great Patriotic War.
00:14:55They were donated to the State Memorial Museum of Defense and
00:14:58Blockade of Leningrad. These books represent not only
00:15:01scientific and historical value,
00:15:05but are also the most important instrument in preserving
00:15:07historical memory, historical truth about the Great
00:15:11Patriotic War. A people who does not remember and honor
00:15:15its memory, its history, has no future. The
00:15:18Requiem concert every third is not just a performance, it is
00:15:22a reminder of the price of victory and an appeal not to... allow
00:15:25the revival of Nazism, and today, when the hall
00:15:29freezes to the sounds of war songs, we again
00:15:32realize that this is our common history, and it
00:15:35cannot be forgotten. Ilona.
00:15:44heard a report from the State Secretary of the Security
00:15:47Council, Alexander Valfovich. The head of state
00:15:50was informed about the progress of the combat readiness inspection of units and
00:15:54military units of the Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
00:15:57In addition, during the report, personnel issues in the
00:16:00armed forces were discussed. Also today, the president heard
00:16:03a report from the chairman of the Mogilev Regional Executive Committee, Anatoly.
00:16:07Alexander Lukashenka inquired in detail about the results of
00:16:11the harvesting of grain and leguminous crops in the Mogilev region. During
00:16:14the report, special attention was paid to three farms
00:16:18in the region that are harvesting the last hectares of late
00:16:21crops. The head of state paid special attention to the situation with
00:16:25personnel and work in this direction. A separate topic of
00:16:28the report by the head of the Mogilev region was the preparation for
00:16:31the upcoming seminar in the Shklov district. It
00:16:34is planned to be held at one of its facilities.
00:16:39Directive No. 1 on measures to strengthen
00:16:43public security and discipline has been updated. The decree was
00:16:46signed today by the president. The document takes into account modern risks
00:16:50and specifically provides for security measures in
00:16:53the virtual environment. Among the priorities are public order
00:16:56protection, information security, the fight against
00:16:59extremism and illegal drug trafficking, as well as
00:17:03migration control, road safety, and population protection in
00:17:06emergency situations. Also in the spotlight are environmental
00:17:10safety, sanitary and epidemiological
00:17:13well-being of the population, and labor safety.
00:17:16The government, regional executive committees,
00:17:19and Minsk City Executive Committee are still
00:17:22responsible for implementing the directive. The
00:17:24prosecutor's office will monitor its implementation.
00:17:34The genetic code of Belarusians is based on peacefulness, order,
00:17:37justice, and respect for history. These qualities
00:17:40have been formed over centuries under the influence of a difficult historical fate. And
00:17:44this was discussed today, among other things, at the Bobruisk Technological College. An
00:17:47open dialogue brought together young people within the framework
00:17:51of the "Belarus United" campaign. For us, this is
00:17:53, of course, communication, communication on an equal footing with young people. And the most important
00:17:57thing for us is to convey the history of this holiday, how
00:18:01long this moment was awaited, the liberation of Western
00:18:05Belarus, because as soon as we forget.
00:18:11to sincerely convey what love for the homeland is, how important it is to
00:18:14work for the homeland, what you are doing all this for,
00:18:18so that no mistakes are made and so that the guys leave with
00:18:21a firm understanding that our country is always for
00:18:25us, it will support us, but we also
00:18:28need to develop, love, and know our history to be that
00:18:32united. An open dialogue about the lessons
00:18:35of history, about how important it is to feel the independence of one's country,
00:18:39took place today at the Gantsevichi Agrarian College. Speakers
00:18:42spoke about the significance of the National Unity Day and how important it is for
00:18:46Belarusians to restore historical
00:18:49justice. The event was very bright,
00:18:52open, everyone was very active, we
00:18:56discussed the question of being united in our
00:19:00large Belarusian family, there was an exchange of opinions
00:19:04between young people. It was very easy and pleasant to communicate.
00:19:37unity brought participants to the agro-town of Lenin, Zhitkovichi
00:19:41district. It was here, on the bank of the Sluch river, that the column of patriots made
00:19:44a stop at a place that has sacred significance for the history of Belarus:
00:19:48the former lines of the state border of
00:19:511921-1939. The participants
00:19:54of the motor rally - representatives of regional organizations, patriots of Belarus
00:19:57from Brest, Mogilev, as well as activists from Zhitkovichi,
00:20:01Slutsk and Gantsevichi districts, on the eve of National Unity Day,
00:21:36Belarus will provide humanitarian aid to Venezuela. The Council of Ministers of our
00:21:40country, with the consent of the head of state, decided to
00:21:43allocate aid in the amount of 1 million rubles. Belarus
00:21:47took this step to help Venezuela with
00:21:50the consequences of the devastating earthquakes that occurred on
00:21:53June 24. The resolution, signed
00:21:56by the Prime Minister, states that the humanitarian cargo will
00:22:00include equipment for life support,
00:22:03motor pumps, a compressor station, as well as 12 tons of
00:22:06medical products. Venezuela is still
00:22:10busy searching for earthquake victims. According to official data,
00:22:136,125 people died, but these figures are not
00:22:17final. The clearing of rubble is still
00:22:20ongoing. The presidents of Russia and the USA are in contact again.
00:22:23Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump held a telephone conversation.
00:22:27The leaders discussed the prospects for concluding peace in Ukraine and exchanged
00:22:30views on the results of Litvinov's and Kushner's trips to
00:22:34Moscow and Kiev. The presidents are satisfied with these results.
00:22:38Putin also reported objective data on the progress of the military
00:22:41operation. Trump, in turn, emphasized that he
00:22:44is interested in achieving peace before the end of his presidential
00:22:47term. According to him, this will allow
00:22:51full-scale restoration of relations between America and
00:22:54Russia. The presidents agreed to remain in contact
00:23:01aimed at isolating transit transport
00:23:05links with eastern neighbors. The Latvian government
00:23:08intends to introduce three hundred percent duties on
00:23:11the processing and transportation of grain products from Belarus and
00:23:15Russia. The head of the Ministry of Agriculture of neighboring Lithuania
00:23:18openly indicated the inconsistency of such steps with
00:23:22international law and the norms of the European Union itself.
00:23:26In parallel, the Ministry of Transport developed a draft for the complete cessation of
00:23:29regular bus passenger service to Belarus and
00:23:32Russia, including even transit
00:23:34routes.
00:23:37And the European Commission, in violation of its own rules, allowed Ukraine
00:23:41to purchase missiles for Patriot air defense systems. Money for
00:23:44American weapons will be allocated from the European Union fund, the funds
00:23:48of which were intended to be spent on European products.
00:23:52Kyiv initially requested around 2 billion euros,
00:23:55based on the statement of the head of the European Commission, it will receive
00:23:583.4 billion. Ursula von der Leyen also reminded that these
00:24:02funds are allocated in addition to previous payments
00:24:05within the framework of European support programs, including the recently
00:24:09agreed tranche of 8.4 billion, which
00:24:12will go to air defense systems, radars, and
00:24:15ammunition.
00:24:21Corruption in the water supply system. The Department of Financial
00:24:25Investigations of the State Control Committee, together with the Prosecutor General's Office, revealed
00:24:29numerous cases of bribery by managers of several
00:24:32enterprises of the water utility system in three regions: Brest, Gomel
00:24:36and Minsk. The Prosecutor General's Office initiated four
00:24:39criminal cases. The total amount of illegal gratitude
00:24:43and remuneration according to the case materials is more than 140,000
00:24:46rubles. Criminal facts were uncovered during anti-corruption measures
00:24:50to control the expenditure of budget funds,
00:24:53in particular, the financing of the state program "Comfortable Housing
00:24:57and Favorable Environment" was checked, which is aimed at creating comfortable
00:25:01living conditions and improving the quality of housing and communal
00:25:04services. Victoria Radevich will tell you more.
00:25:07She states that in the period from
00:25:112021 to 2022, I
00:25:14received a bribe in the amount of
00:25:17300 dollars
00:25:20for helping them with equipment in their work.
00:25:24This is a confession from one of the defendants in the bribery case recorded
00:25:27by operatives of the Department of Financial Investigations for the Gomel region. When
00:25:30they came to him with evidence, the man had to recall all the cases when
00:25:34he took illegal remuneration from his regular partners. At
00:25:38various times, I gave
00:25:41as remuneration, gratitude, bribes
00:25:45to various heads of Belarusian water utilities.
00:25:48белорусских водоканалов.
00:25:57Kickbacks were put on stream, he will also tell about this in a conversation with
00:26:01law enforcement officials. The amounts were
00:26:04paid for concluding construction and installation work
00:26:08contracts, product supply contracts, and
00:26:11timely payment for completed work. According to the case materials,
00:26:15officials of Brest, Maladzechna, and Gomel communal
00:26:18enterprises providing water supply and
00:26:22wastewater disposal services to the population were involved in corruption cases. They
00:26:25had established cooperation with certain businessmen whose interests they
00:26:28lobbied for years, and for this they received their share.
00:26:33Officials of several enterprises of the state
00:26:36production association Belvodokanal systematically
00:26:40received illegal monetary rewards and
00:26:43bribes from two representatives of commercial
00:26:46structures in the city of Gomel and the city of Minsk for
00:26:50the supply of pumping equipment, the provision of construction
00:26:53facilities, equipment rental, and also for
00:26:56the timely conclusion of contracts and payment for them. Agreements,
00:27:00as a rule, were based on a certain percentage on average. only 2% of
00:27:03the cost of the work performed and the equipment supplied, but this was
00:27:06quite enough, ranging from 700 to 120,000
00:27:10rubles. Moreover, the initiative to transfer bribes came from both the official
00:27:14and the businessman. Separate cases of such
00:27:18informal cooperation lasted for 7 years,
00:27:21the amounts of illegally received remuneration reached
00:27:2460,000 rubles per bribe-taker, director
00:27:28and his deputy. Based on the results of the inspection conducted
00:27:31jointly by the Department of Financial Investigations
00:27:35of the State Control Committee for the Gomel region, the Department for Combating
00:27:38Corruption and Organized Crime of the Prosecutor General's Office
00:27:42initiated four criminal cases on receiving bribes by officials
00:27:46of water utilities, under parts one, two and three of
00:27:49Article 430 of the Criminal Code. The guilt of officials in
00:27:53corruption crimes is confirmed, among other things, by the materials
00:27:56of the preliminary investigation. To organize the preliminary investigation,
00:28:00the Prosecutor General's Office sent the criminal cases to the territorial
00:28:04division of the Investigative Committee. The progress of their
00:28:07investigation is under control. They did not refuse
00:28:10additional, albeit illegal, earnings, they succumbed
00:28:13to temptation. All suspects admitted to bribery,
00:28:17cooperated with the investigation, and the illegally obtained income has already been
00:28:21fully reimbursed. However, it cannot be ruled out that additional episodes may emerge in the case.
00:28:24The investigation is still ongoing. Victoria Radevich,
00:28:28Anatoly Dolotovsky, First

00:32:24And I will note, here at the cheese factory, about
00:32:2725 tons of butter are produced
00:32:30daily, these are the three most
00:32:32recognizable brands in the country. The system
00:32:36here is fully automated, and the technology is waste-free, cream
00:32:39goes to butter, skimmed milk to drying. By the way, the plant
00:32:43produces not only regular, but also lactose-free butter.
00:32:46Lactose-free butter - you know, in
00:32:50the production process the lactase enzyme is added, which
00:32:53breaks down lactose, and we
00:32:56get this very lactose-free sweet cream
00:33:00butter. And the fat content depends only on
00:33:03the consumer's preference, what he
00:33:06chooses, the taste profile will remain the same.
00:33:10Slutsk Cheese Combine cooperates with
00:33:13partners in more than 30 countries, at the moment it is
00:33:1634 countries around the world, including exporting
00:33:20butter, butter is our priority product today,
00:33:24for 2026, in the first half of the year, 9.9 tons
00:33:28of butter were sold, traditionally our main
00:33:31partner is the Russian Federation, to which we sent more than
00:33:346.00 tons of butter, also Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan,
00:33:38Azerbaijan, all CIS and
00:33:42EEU countries this year.
00:33:45Interestingly, there were deliveries to countries such as India, we were probably the first
00:33:48in Belarus to make a large delivery of butter to India, about
00:33:522.0 tons, and also we tried to export to
00:33:55Egypt, Liberia, and today we are developing
00:33:59a plan for deliveries to Indonesia. Slutsk
00:34:01Cheese Combine also produces a number of dairy products: hard
00:34:05cheeses, soft and processed cheeses, as well as ice cream, mayonnaise, whole milk
00:34:09products and dry milk products. Production
00:34:12volumes allow not only to close needs within the market, but also
00:34:15for export. Today, the situation with the export
00:34:19of butter to foreign countries has shown
00:34:22positive dynamics. Inventory in warehouses is significantly decreasing,
00:34:26and this is despite milk production growing by almost
00:34:293% compared to last
00:34:32year. Such positive dynamics are also due to
00:34:36Belarus expanding its geography of partner countries. Now we
00:34:39sell our products not only to CIS countries, but also
00:34:43beyond. The quality of our products
00:34:46no longer needs to be proven abroad, how
00:34:50highly it is valued. This
00:34:53year we were subjected to serious criticism last
00:34:57year from the head of state regarding the
00:35:00reduction of butter stocks, I
00:35:03want to report that we have been experiencing a decrease
00:35:07since the beginning of the year, at the beginning
00:35:10of the year we had significant butter stocks, about
00:35:1310,000 tons.
00:35:16We have reduced butter production, we are now selling more butter than we produce,
00:35:19as a rule, this is outside the CIS countries, this includes
00:35:23African countries, and
00:35:26Indonesia, we recently visited this country, and in
00:35:30general, Central Asia, that is, products are selling very, very well,
00:35:34in demand. The primary task of the food sector is to meet the needs
00:35:37of the domestic market, however, expanding export supplies
00:35:41is an indicator of quality, competitiveness, and image.

00:36:55"Helping Hand" project.
00:37:27A true bridge of mercy and a reliable partner of the state in
00:37:30solving social problems. The twenty-seventh congress of the Belarusian Red
00:37:34Cross united delegates from all over the country to summarize
00:37:37large-scale work and approve the development vector for
00:37:41the future. Special emphasis is placed on attracting youth, supporting
00:37:44social initiatives and volunteer ideas. The focus
00:37:47is on elderly people, children with developmental disabilities, all those
00:37:51who especially need support. About
00:37:54the main priorities of the largest humanitarian movement.
00:38:01hundreds of delegates from all corners of the republic,
00:38:04representatives of government bodies, international
00:38:07partners are defining today the strategic priorities
00:38:11for the development of the Belarusian Red Cross for the next
00:38:14five-year period. The task is to multiply the accumulated experience
00:38:17and ensure that humanitarian aid is even more
00:38:21accessible and operational. The Belarusian Red Cross
00:38:24is the largest charitable organization in the country.
00:39:05Yes, these are crisis situations on the Belarusian-Polish border, on the Belarusian-Ukrainian border, then working with forced migrants from Ukraine
00:39:09who were and are currently in the Republic of
00:39:12Belarus. At the same time, we did not forget
00:39:15to expand and develop our infrastructure. We
00:39:19realized that without crisis centers, which we began to open in all
00:39:22regions in 2022, and which are now
00:39:26functioning, it would have been difficult for us to cope
00:39:29with the influx of various migrants
00:39:33needing assistance from among
00:39:59we have a very well-developed direction for social
00:40:03orders. We understand that there is an aging population
00:40:06in the region, in our Vitebsk. We have the most
00:40:10elderly citizens, so we need to develop
00:40:13medical services. Volunteer activity has become one
00:40:17of the key directions of the organization's activity. People
00:40:21come to us with their initiatives, with their desire
00:40:24to help, and actively implement them. In
00:40:27the humanitarian field, we started to interact a lot
00:40:31with the healthcare system, the social protection system,
00:40:35and we are developing volunteer groups in educational
00:40:38institutions. I would like to note that today the Belarusian Red Cross
00:40:42is a reliable bridge between those who need care and those
00:40:45who are ready to provide help. The organization acts as a loyal
00:40:49partner of the state in solving important social problems. The
00:40:53Belarusian Red Cross has more than a million members,
00:40:56which is about 12% of our country's population.
