00:00:23Hello, this is the main broadcast, summing up the week, watching how Western
00:00:27officials and NATO military strategists have finally moved from
00:00:31hidden plans to cynical discussion of the timing
00:00:34of a direct military confrontation. Minsk, as usual, reacts to these challenges with
00:00:38cold pragmatism, laying the foundation for a peaceful
00:00:41tomorrow. This week, the president conducted a large-scale personnel review, sending
00:00:45a clear signal to managers. State security does not begin
00:00:49in offices, but on the ground. Therefore, the task for everyone is to ensure
00:00:53food stability, to return people to creative
00:00:56work at their native roots, including through Izbing.
00:01:00Minsk promptly scaled this philosophy of economic sovereignty at a meeting of the Eurasian
00:01:03Intergovernmental Council, where the prime ministers of the EU countries
00:01:06were closely involved in forming common energy
00:01:10markets, launching independent payment
00:01:13the Western architects
00:01:17of sanctions. A practical proof of this
00:01:20strategy of the allied rear was the international forum Innoprom
00:01:23Belarus. On its huge platforms, the emphasis on advanced
00:01:26import substitution in machine tool building and microelectronics
00:01:30transformed into multi-million dollar contracts
00:01:33before our eyes. France demonstrated a fundamentally different, suicidal
00:01:36model of public administration this week, burning in the fire of large-scale
00:01:39strikes, where the eighteen-percent Macron
00:01:42decided to cripple children at the end.
00:01:46Studying in Europe means tear gas instead of oxygen cocktails
00:01:49during breaks, and students fear not the teacher's
00:01:53pointer, but the police baton. The number of
00:01:56detainees at this moment has exceeded 5,000 in hospitals.
00:02:00hundreds of people, it is obvious that against such a cynical
00:02:03background, the value of our Belarusian school, where children are surrounded
00:02:07with care, and teachers are constantly thanked for their work,
00:02:10is clearly visible, especially this weekend, when the whole country warmly
00:02:14congratulates mentors on Teacher's Day, even the President in his
00:02:17congratulation will emphasize: your work is one of the most
00:02:21difficult and responsible, and by teaching and raising children,
00:02:24you build the future
00:02:25of Belarus.
00:02:28This is what else made it into
00:03:33the EU riots - just the tip of the iceberg, a consequence
00:03:36of dependence on the USA. We have already crossed the 100 billion
00:03:40euro mark, which we overpaid for energy carriers. It's
00:03:43Putin's fault, bad Russians are blamed for any
00:03:46failures. Beware of the car, what is fraught
00:03:49with buying a new car abroad. The fact that the car
00:03:53costs below market price,
00:04:19exaggeration, became the main geopolitical crossroads
00:04:22of Eurasia. In the Belarusian capital, the future strategy for
00:04:25a huge region, from Brest to Vladivostok, was created. The main
00:04:28economic day of meetings was the Union Council of Ministers of Belarus
00:04:32and Russia and the Intergovernmental Council of the EAEU. And the statements
00:04:36made went far beyond simple numbers. Alexander Lukashenka, during
00:04:39his communication with guests, outlined the main political accents, what
00:04:43is called topical. On integration.
00:04:46Minsk was and remains committed to it. The common economic
00:04:49space today allows to neutralize the effect of any sanctions
00:04:53and remains a key market for the countries of the association. On
00:04:56relations with Russia, we have never been traitors and...
00:05:12who is right about what actually happened behind the scenes
00:05:16of the Eurasian negotiations, what is the internal logic of loud
00:05:19personnel decisions in the presidential administration and beyond, as well as
00:05:23everything about the schedule and plans of the head of state, right up to the new
00:05:26year, all the big politics and even more in
00:05:29the "Time of the First" section.
00:05:46Almost the full prime ministerial composition of the heads of government
00:05:50of the EAEU will come to the Palace of Independence without Pashinyan,
00:05:53but with the Uzbekistan colleague. Tashkent is an observer in the
00:05:57association. First things first, phones to assistants,
00:06:00so that nothing
00:06:02interferes.
00:06:05The Western strategy to hinder the economy in the post-Soviet
00:06:08space has failed, the figures of the Union confirm this.
00:06:42our own economy, the development indicators
00:06:45of our economies in recent years just show that
00:06:49we have stood firm, we are ahead, if, for example, in
00:06:52the West, GDP growth is 1-2%, then
00:06:55for us it reaches up to 11%,
00:06:59so we look ahead calmly,
00:07:02confidently. Well, something
00:07:06like that, by the movement and troubles
00:07:09of the state protocol, it will be clear that the President will have time to communicate
00:07:12with the Russian Prime Minister one-on-one, including on Russia's economic
00:07:16plans for the next 3 years. These are
00:07:19amazing plans, if
00:07:22they succeed in Russia, we always say this, it won't be worse
00:07:26for us, not only for Belarus, but for all of us in
00:07:29the post-Soviet space, God grant, Mikhail
00:07:32Vladimirovich, that it works out in the implementation of this plan. The main thing
00:07:35in life is economics. Alexander Lukashenka will put aside
00:07:39the prepared theses and tell the Eurasian prime ministers.
00:08:12side, no, despite the fluctuations, which are often
00:08:16from Trump, you know that, one thing in the morning, another in the evening, I
00:08:19say that I am grateful to him for openly exposing
00:08:23the policy of the West and primarily the United States
00:08:27of America, just as it is, Venezuela
00:08:30is oil, he does not hide it behind diplomatic
00:08:34tricks, Cuba is our
00:08:37security, here neither Russia nor China, no one should have it, this
00:08:41is ours, Greenland.
00:09:18where your cognac will be taken, where your vegetables and fruits will be taken, in what volume,
00:09:26will you be able to replace what you are selling today
00:09:30from us, if you are convinced that
00:09:33France will buy your cognac, you have nowhere
00:09:36to put your own, but they will buy it from you, well,
00:09:40go, what are you running for? You are putting the cart
00:09:43before the horse, well, don't rush to throw away
00:09:47what benefits you today, don't leave
00:09:51this common market. The world is at a breaking point, fierce
00:09:54competition is going on in all spheres today, wishing to sell, and sometimes
00:09:58to protect what is theirs, one has to elbow their way. Belarus did not
00:10:01give itself up to the market, without shock therapy of rampant
00:10:05privatization, it built its policy and economy, with
00:10:08a strong state hand and attention to social issues and...
00:10:12As Lukashenka often says, leaning on the shoulders
00:10:15of giants. What was developed by generations was not
00:10:19discarded - this is the basis, from which it was much easier to develop new and
00:10:23promising areas from machine
00:11:55building our common economic, political, and
00:11:58other space, I assess it as our common
00:12:01homeland, from Brest to
00:12:04Vladivostok.
00:12:13The day before, Alexander Lukashenka held talks with the head
00:12:16of the Kazakh government, a long-standing partnership with the country in
00:12:19various spheres, from agriculture to industry and services,
00:12:23trade is growing.
00:12:55work,
00:12:58the regional ties between Belarus and Russia demonstrate what real
00:13:02cooperation and real support bring in life.
00:13:05They chose the path of close cooperation, for example, with the Ulyanovsk
00:13:09region. In addition to equipment supplies, their automotive
00:13:12and our engine industries work closely. Joint
00:13:16work is underway in radio electronics, and together with this region, they will
00:13:19create a Union machine. Given the
00:13:22competencies of the Belarusian side, their products are certainly
00:13:26in good demand, and the price-quality ratio is also
00:13:29advantageous. Belarus develops trade and contacts in different
00:13:33parts of the world, and Alexander Lukashenka cuts short any criticism
00:13:36in this regard for multi-vector policy
00:13:39at the root. Multi-vector policy does not alienate us from the Russian
00:13:43Federation. Yes, we pursue a multi-vector policy, because
00:13:47economics is at its core. We are not
00:13:50a giant economy to suffer
00:13:53from geopolitical ambitions,
00:13:56we, as I often say, need little for our
00:14:00people to live normally, for the economy to work,
00:14:04for us, the main thing is technology. Until the end
00:14:07of the year, the president will focus on industrial
00:14:10issues, assess the state of affairs at many
00:14:14enterprises in the industry, details of Alexander Lukashenka's busy
00:14:18work schedule until the All-Belarusian People's Assembly,
00:14:21we learned from the head of the presidential administration.
00:14:25an interesting, I think, visit
00:14:28to our leading manufacturer of electromechanical
00:14:31transport, this is Belkommunmash, many decisions
00:14:34have been made in recent years on the development
00:14:38of pilot cities, their transfer to electric bus
00:14:41service, Zhodino, Shklov, and now
00:14:45Novopolotsk, the president's decision to replace
00:14:48part of the bus routes between Minsk
00:14:51and satellite cities with electric buses.
00:14:55from the perspective of developing cooperation of our,
00:14:59let's say, electric bus cluster, because
00:15:02similar types of equipment are produced by MAZ and
00:15:05Belkommunmash, in a certain
00:15:08way, the Stadler plant is involved
00:15:11in this work, therefore, the president is interested,
00:15:14taking into account the commissioning of our nuclear power plant
00:15:18and the annual increase in electricity
00:15:22consumption in Belarus, the implementation
00:15:25of large-scale plans for the integration of the nuclear
00:15:28power plant into the country's energy system and the development of electricity-consuming
00:15:32industries on this basis. This direction
00:15:36for electric traction vehicles is very promising,
00:15:39there is a huge demand, including from the Russian
00:15:42market, which means serious export opportunities, so
00:15:46the president wants to comprehensively review this whole story.
00:15:49Further, an interesting direction, I think, will be
00:15:52events related to, well, perhaps,
00:15:55summing up is a loud word, but a control
00:15:59cut of events related
00:16:02to tourism. There was a lot of talk last year within
00:16:06the framework of the All-Belarusian People's Assembly, within the framework of adopting
00:16:09the program for the socio-economic development of the republic for
00:16:12twenty-six to thirty years, dedicated specifically to tourism.
00:16:16There is a basic high-level task to double
00:16:19the contribution of this sector to the gross domestic product,
00:16:22so we are still working on options
00:16:26for the president, where and how, but a big
00:16:30discussion on the topic of tourism will definitely be held.
00:16:33Agro-industrial complex, here the president himself outlined a large
00:16:37meeting related to the flax industry,
00:16:41our industrial flagships are implementing
00:16:45a number of projects, including those related to the use
00:16:48of integration funds for
00:16:51credit resources provided by the Russian
00:16:54Federation, that is, the production of products for our union market
00:16:58of joint products. They invite the president
00:17:01to visit a number of production facilities related to
00:17:04this line. You saw the topic.
00:17:07"Vologda Amkador plant for the production of forestry
00:17:11machines, and the president says that these new directions
00:17:14need to be considered. In essence, if we comment
00:17:17on the logic of our leader, a decision has already been made to hold the next
00:17:21meeting of the All-Belarusian People's Assembly in mid- December, the president simply absorbs
00:17:25material about what the economy of the republic
00:17:28is living on now, how such large instructions for
00:17:32the development of new industries and directions are being implemented, well, like forestry
00:17:36engineering in this case, and I think there will be
00:17:39a series of events, and many messages, many
00:17:43thoughts, will be used already in the president's address
00:17:47to the delegates of the All-Belarusian People's Assembly, in
00:17:50discussions related to the prime minister's report
00:17:54on the main, key directions of the program of socio-economic
00:17:57development of Belarus until 2030.
00:18:00year.
00:18:06In the political...
00:19:07that is, relying already on the civilian sphere,
00:19:10understanding the issues that will arise in the economy, in
00:19:13social matters, in other sectors of diplomacy, in order to
00:19:17be able to reliably ensure the country's security. I
00:19:21think this will be a great help, and as the president said, it will even accelerate
00:19:24certain processes. Second
00:19:28- Pavel Nikolayevich was a trusted person of our leader
00:19:32in the last elections, he
00:19:35interacts wonderfully with people.
00:20:37formats, TikTok, Tree, Telegram
00:20:41and others, from the entire array, it is necessary to identify
00:20:44some important topics that are truly worthy
00:20:47of attention at the presidential level. Certain work
00:20:51is being carried out within the administration to improve
00:20:54the activities of this unit, and I think that Pavel
00:20:57Nikolayevich will also lead the coordination of this work, so
00:21:01his range of tasks is quite large,
00:21:04and I think he will significantly strengthen our
00:21:07potential and allow the administration to move forward, taking
00:21:11into account the tasks set by our leader. Instead of Muraveyko,
00:21:14Vladimir Bely took over the General Staff, to whom Alexander Lukashenka
00:21:17gave the main instruction. You should have
00:21:21your own. We see a certain level
00:21:24of tension, at certain moments there are such peaks
00:21:27of escalation, but the situation is also what we
00:21:31form, with our actions, with our responses to these external
00:21:34irritants. Sometimes you need to be calm,
00:21:38sometimes you need to be confident in your abilities, not to succumb
00:21:42to any provocations, on the other hand, you always need to be
00:21:45ready for decisive actions, and all those
00:21:48who surround us... who try to provoke
00:21:51us, they must understand that we have something to answer with,
00:21:55in the pool of local managers, the tasks for whom from the president
00:21:59sounded harshly, immediately two women, the head of state with
00:22:02a special understanding of what burden and responsibility
00:22:06falls on their shoulders. For a woman to
00:22:09manage a district, that's incredibly hard work. This week, the most important
00:22:13forecast indicators for next year were approved,
00:22:16which outline economic growth and income, and an inflation ceiling
00:22:20of 6%. This is one of the main markers for the Ministry
00:22:23of Antimonopoly Regulation and Trade, where there is also a
00:22:27new head now, but the focus on fair
00:22:30pricing remains the same. And from the point of view of choice
00:22:33and from the point of view of prices, we
00:22:36have today all food products and
00:22:39non-food products, they are quite affordable in
00:22:43price, and most importantly in quality,
00:22:46therefore, there is no need to carry out global
00:22:50reforms or any significant changes. Today it is important
00:22:53to ensure dialogue with all participants in
00:22:57the price formation process, because the government has made
00:23:00a decision on price liberalization, it is important to understand how
00:23:04each participant in value formation behaves in these
00:23:08conditions, is there no, so to speak,
00:23:10abuses,
00:23:13one might even say that, because, after all, as I said
00:23:17at the beginning, as the president demands, the price on the store
00:23:20shelf for any of our citizens should be comfortable,
00:23:24affordable, so that he has the opportunity to purchase
00:23:27the desired product at the price at which he can
00:23:31afford to do it. Business
00:23:35and retail chains are meeting us halfway in this regard, of course,
00:23:38armchair experts have already rushed to call the government's economic
00:23:42plans restrained and cautious, although in the current difficult
00:23:46geopolitics this is rather an understanding of risks and
00:23:49a desire to realistically look
00:23:52at things and life.
00:23:58Be patient and don't rush to break what is beneficial, perhaps this
00:24:01is the main advice that was heard this week at the Palace of Independence
00:24:05addressed to the participants of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council. Alexander
00:24:08Lukashenka confirmed that Minsk remains a reliable and
00:24:12predictable partner who keeps his word
00:24:15according to the principle "said, done". However, behind this
00:24:18support lies serious... cabinets
00:24:32of ministers after such a frank conversation in Minsk? We will talk
00:24:36about the peculiarities of the association and the role of our country in it with Denis
00:24:39Borisov, Head of the Laboratory of the Russia- Central Asia Center.
00:24:43He is live with the studio right now. Denis, good afternoon.
00:24:47Commitment to integration, as the head of state emphasized.
00:25:20some of the former Soviet republics
00:25:23decided that it was more profitable and more effective
00:25:26to move together than separately. In fact, since
00:25:302014-2015, this association
00:25:33has been working, and for
00:25:36more than 10 years, the organization
00:25:39has been functioning, and most importantly, it provides truly
00:25:43serious opportunities for maintaining
00:25:47stability in conditions of increasing
00:25:50sanctions pressure, and, by the way, not only sanctions, but also political
00:25:53and military-political pressure, which we
00:25:56can observe firsthand today on the western border.
00:26:00Well, here it is very important, probably,
00:26:02to distinguish such things as goal
00:26:06and process, right? Still, if we are talking about an integration
00:26:10association, then the main word here is integration, and this
00:26:14is not, as we understand, some kind of final goal, but
00:26:17it is a constant process
00:26:20of self-improvement,
00:26:22reducing some gaps, barriers, in terms
00:26:26of establishing more effective economic
00:26:29activity between member countries and companies.
00:27:21Speaking about the role of our country in the EAEU, what does Belarus gain from participating in the union and how does it differ from its partners in the
00:27:24association?
00:27:27Well, the simplest thing, let me remind you that the Eurasian Economic
00:27:31Union... its main goal is, if you will,
00:27:35a kind of reindustrialization, an increase
00:27:37in value chains,
00:27:41production chains between
00:27:44companies of member countries. In this
00:27:47regard, Belarus, of course,
00:27:50due to the specifics of development,
00:27:53economic development of Belarus, we say that the republic
00:27:57was able to maintain very high
00:28:00industrial levels.
00:28:33Second, it is clear that the Eurasian Economic Union is also a single
00:28:36transport and logistics space. In this regard,
00:28:39again, the export of the same Belarusian products to the same
00:28:43Southeast Asia, it again passes
00:28:47through the territory of railways and other
00:28:50routes of the Eurasian Economic Union, without
00:28:53any restrictions, which is also a big
00:28:56plus, well, and for the Eurasian
00:29:00Economic Union itself, if...
00:29:32of all countries of the Eurasian Economic Union. But if we just
00:29:35look, both Russia and Kazakhstan, as the most
00:29:39largest economies of the integration association, they still
00:29:43in their core they focus
00:29:46on the primary sector, on the extractive sector,
00:29:50and at the same time, each of Moscow and Astana
00:29:53sets the task of reindustrialization and increasing
00:29:57the share of industry in its
00:29:59economy. Here we have different models
00:30:03that we can use to ensure this
00:30:05reindustrialization, but we clearly understand
00:30:09that obviously the experience that the Republic of Belarus
00:30:12has gained is of interest to
00:30:32are ready to move forward together and create an effective product within the framework
00:30:36of cooperation was the large-scale platform in Minsk. The Innoprom
00:30:40Belarus forum became the very place where technologies were maximized.
00:30:43Industry leaders from forty countries of the world, from our
00:30:46closest partners in the EAEU, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, to distant
00:30:50Cambodia, brought their best IT solutions
00:30:53and novelties here. And 160 Belarusian enterprises
00:30:57showed what machines and machine tools we are ready to supply
00:31:00to the common market. These were days of many
00:31:03agreements and major deals. Svetlana Lukyanyuk
00:31:07collected the brightest moments of the industrial dialogue,
00:31:09here's her
00:31:18material. Robots can do a lot today, they drive entire industries,
00:31:22change the system of production, the sphere of services, but they all need
00:31:25a person, so the personnel issue does not lose its relevance.
00:31:29We are currently developing an intergovernmental program
00:31:31on robotics, and I very much hope that we will be able
00:31:35to move forward in this area within the framework of the support mechanism
00:31:39for cooperation projects. It's no secret that each member state has
00:31:42its own specialization. Belarus mainly provides
00:31:46technological equipment, components,
00:31:49software, Kazakhstan, construction
00:31:53services, software,
00:31:56it is clear that in certain areas everyone has their own
00:31:59strong capabilities. Everyone clearly states
00:32:03their strong points at international forums. Innoprom Belarus gathered
00:32:07500 companies and 28 delegations.
00:32:10The geography is wide, almost twice as many countries
00:32:13as a year ago. Why am I here today, to see
00:32:17the potential of Belarusian industrial production? I am very
00:32:20impressed, I took many catalogs to start working
00:32:24on my return to my country, we appreciate your tires, their service life is
00:32:28twice as long as that of Asian production. We make these
00:32:31architectural structures from metal
00:32:34and wood that adorn our cities,
00:32:38we want to show a lot of contacts from
00:32:41Belarus, and I think that we will also...
00:33:23Nicaragua is looking at buses, and having assessed all
00:33:26the advantages presented 2 years ago by an ambulance, they
00:33:29signed a contract for 247 MAZ
00:33:33vehicles. We have already concluded a large number
00:33:36of contracts thanks to the credit lines opened for
00:33:39the supply of Belarusian equipment to Nicaragua, and now
00:33:42a serious contract has been concluded for the supply.
00:33:55no obstacle. Cambodia is represented for the first time at Innoprom
00:33:59Belarus in Minsk. This is our first experience participating in an exhibition, and we are very
00:34:02happy to be here. Thank you for the invitation. And
00:34:06Kazakhstan is a permanent participant of Innoprom Belarus. And this gives
00:34:10good results. The formula "negotiations - goods"
00:34:13works.
00:35:45energy-efficient machine, we promptly designed,
00:35:48created, for example, if you take our small-sized communal
00:35:52machine, Amkador V8, this year we
00:35:55exhibited this machine at the Moscow exhibition of construction equipment
00:35:58and technologies, it took the highest
00:36:02place among small-sized communal equipment. In the pavilion inside
00:36:05there is a universal chassis platform
00:36:09for installing various attachments, this is a relevant topic,
00:36:13we have a global large...
00:36:28Business negotiations at the stands 3 days non-stop, someone has already chosen
00:36:32a model and is ready to sign a contract, and someone is studying
00:36:36fresh solutions where technologies are at their
00:36:38maximum. At Yenoprom Belarus can be controlled, and
00:36:42even a BelAZ, if it is located
00:36:45several kilometers from the exhibition center. This
00:36:49BelAZ is currently moving along a road in Brest region. Training
00:36:53in unmanned control is a trend for Belarusian engineers.
00:37:27import substitution of technological sovereignty, the operator only
00:37:30assists the autonomous dump truck, the system allows one
00:37:34specialist to simultaneously monitor the operation of five
00:37:37autonomous machines. I am deeply impressed by the Belarusian
00:37:41technologies presented at the exhibition. They will be especially
00:37:44useful to us in the mining industry. We intend to deepen
00:37:48cooperation. Yakutia offers us participation in
00:37:52diamond cutting projects and is ready to purchase
00:37:55compressed gas buses. in the near future,
00:37:59it will be in the northern version sent to Yakutsk for testing there,
00:38:03because it is clear that public transport always requires
00:38:07special attention to the convenience, to
00:38:10the comfort of people. The Kirov region is studying the Belarusian experience
00:38:14of peat deposit development. In Ufa, we are expanding
00:38:17the site for assembling joint trolleybuses, and Nizhny
00:38:21Novgorod is strong in shipbuilding. Taking into account
00:38:23the state program for tourism development in the Republic of Belarus, we offer.
00:39:29Rosatom knows about this better than others. Today we are already talking about
00:39:32the joint development of the infrastructure of the Northern
00:39:35Sea Route, which is becoming a global
00:39:38transport and logistics route. For the Republic of
00:39:41Belarus, why is it important, especially in the conditions of
00:39:45the geopolitical tension that currently exists, we have
00:39:48a guaranteed peaceful access to the markets of the global
00:39:52South, and we see that these are precisely those countries and
00:39:55partners who are interested in... interaction with us, who
00:39:59also actively respond to themes of equality,
00:40:02partnership, transparency in relations, who do not demand
00:40:06any unclear concessions in exchange for some, say,
00:40:09preferences for themselves, and thus, when we work
00:40:12together, we ensure precisely the synergy from the work of the Union State within
00:40:16the framework of the economy, recently the first transit Belarusian
00:40:19cargo passed through the Northern Sea Route. I would also like to note that we have
00:40:23Rosatom State Corporation, oddly enough, in addition to being
00:40:26an infrastructural operator of the Northern Sea Route and
00:40:30being responsible for the comprehensive development of
00:40:33terminals, ports, it is also a large logistics
00:40:37operator. Accordingly, in the Republic of Belarus, we also actively
00:40:41help republican
00:40:43enterprises to send products for export and
00:40:47import back into the country necessary products,
00:40:50goods, material assets, products, components. And
00:40:53at Innoprom Belarus, Rosatom presented the first Russian.
00:40:57Russian 3D printer. Three-dimensional printing allows
00:41:00manufacturing complex shaped products for industry and
00:41:04medicine, quickly and efficiently. And the
00:41:06state corporation is already thinking about what to surprise with at the next forum
00:41:10in Minsk. And the fact that it will take place does not cause any doubts
00:41:25the map where allied millions
00:41:27were forged this past week. Parliamentary diplomacy for the benefit of the real
00:41:30economy showed its effectiveness in another strategic
00:41:34direction, from the very center of the historical Silk Road,
00:41:37ancient Khiva, which hosted
00:41:41parliamentary and business forums. Our delegation
00:41:43returned with a substantial package of agreements. These are direct
00:41:46contracts worth 140 million dollars, which fill
00:41:50the strategic partnership of Belarus and Uzbekistan
00:41:53with real content. Countries are actively moving forward in
00:41:56increasing trade, striving for the high bar set by the leaders of
00:42:00the two states. In 2 days of work, communicating in sections and at exhibitions,
00:42:04participants discussed prospects for cooperation in industry,
00:42:07trade, agribusiness, medicine.
00:43:10which we provide to each other in the field of tourism, in
00:43:13healthcare, providing medical care, 550
00:43:16agreements signed in the interaction of our educational
00:43:19institutions, this indicates that, of course, we have
00:43:23huge prospects, a great future for our cooperation.
00:43:26More than 100 enterprises of Belarus and Uzbekistan presented their best
00:43:30export products at the national exhibition. The 500-km
00:43:33pavilion became a kind of export portfolio of two
00:43:36countries. Here are successful projects of women's entrepreneurship,
00:43:40IT developments and innovative solutions, achievements in the field of
00:43:43medicine, our food products for the Asian market,
00:43:47strategic partnership, it probably emphasized
00:43:50the need to develop interregional interaction, the fact
00:43:53that from memorandums of agreement,
00:43:57roadmaps with specific points of cooperation appear, the fact that
00:44:01commercial contracts appear, and
00:44:04not isolated ones, but let's say, extended over
00:44:07time, this indicates that...
00:45:18And if on the diplomatic track the count is in millions of dollars, then on
00:45:21Belarusian fields, it's in millions of tons of strategic product. For
00:45:25our farmers, autumn is no less hot than the summer harvest.
00:45:28In the country, the mass harvesting of potatoes is in full swing. Farms have already overcome
00:45:32the equator of work, with an average of 334
00:45:36centners per hectare this agricultural season. Mogilev
00:45:39and Brest regions are in the lead. In total,
00:45:42agricultural organizations of the country expect to receive over 1 million
00:45:46tons of potatoes. The focus is not only on volumes, but also on the quality
00:45:50of the second bread. A report by Kapitalina Zenkevich
00:45:53on the new harvest and its taste.
00:46:12The agro-town of Kushliki in northern Belarus is known not only
00:46:15for its picturesque nature, but also for its strong agriculture. Despite
00:46:18objective natural factors, low soil quality prevails, but farmers
00:46:22achieve high results, including in
00:46:25the potato field. Hard work, patience, care, and of course,
00:46:29soul. And so the land responds with a rich
00:46:31harvest. We are starting the harvest
00:46:34of 50%. This means that about 80
00:46:38hectares will be harvested. The yield today
00:46:42is not bad, 360 on average, but this field gives
00:46:46more than 400 centners per hectare. This
00:46:48year, the National Grodno Institute has a new variety.
00:46:53for our lands, it proved to be very more than 500 centers per hectare,
00:46:56this is a master. The completion of the potato harvest is the final chord
00:47:00of the harvest. At this stage, iron discipline is more important than ever.
00:47:03The technological window for work is short. This year,
00:47:07the rains added to the troubles, but a competent approach
00:47:09to the business, deep loosening and a high level of mineral
00:47:13nutrition allowed not only to grow, but also to harvest
00:47:16high-quality potatoes, not without the help of new
00:47:19technologies. With the presence.
00:47:36Harvesting for Belarus is a strategic task, the battle for the second
00:47:40bread is serious, which means there are no extra hands. Not
00:47:44for the first year in the fields of the republic, the armed forces of the country.
00:47:47We always try to help, both in harvesting grain and
00:47:51in harvesting potatoes. In a day, it always turns out differently to make
00:47:55trips, sometimes three, sometimes five, sometimes seven, everything
00:47:58depends on the weather conditions, the harvest and speed, I just
00:48:02want to contribute to this great
00:48:06cause. Now every fine day is worth its weight in gold, and therefore, without
00:48:09interruption from production, right in the field, a hot lunch,
00:48:13to ensure food security, during the season
00:48:16one cannot relax. Potato is our second gold,
00:48:20we try, we harvest from morning.
00:48:52to preserve the harvest, a modern potato storage is
00:48:55the beating heart of any farm. The storage is fully
00:48:59designed for 400 tons, that is, four
00:49:02chambers, about 800 tons of bulk storage for
00:49:06large, that is, food, and two chambers for storing seed
00:49:10potatoes, that is, for the future
00:49:11harvest,
00:49:14now we will try to dig, I hope we will have beautiful, good
00:49:17potatoes, you see no spots,
00:49:20no rot, nothing, it will be stored. everything is very good, in the farms
00:49:24of the Minsk region, the harvesting of the second bread is actively gaining momentum, in this
00:49:28the farmers have already crossed the equator, out of 720
00:49:31hectares, 400 have been harvested. 380
00:49:35tons is our state order, which we
00:49:37fulfill every year without question, the country always had
00:49:41potatoes, we will help, this year we went out for
00:49:45treatment for phytophthora five, some fields were even treated
00:49:48six times, although according to the plan there were three or four.
00:49:52Traditionally, the rules of the game in Belarusian fields are set by
00:49:55the weather, yet victory in the agricultural season
00:49:58is always for the person. Harvesting the second
00:50:01bread is also a lot of work, well
00:50:05we need to harvest on time in good weather, we choose moments
00:50:09when the weather is good, to harvest before the frosts, before
00:50:12the rains, well and we work from morning till night, all for
00:50:16the purpose of providing the domestic and export markets
00:50:20with strategic products, not just cheese. Deep processing of this
00:50:24crop is a key direction for the development of the country's
00:50:27agricultural sector, as an example of potato
00:50:30flake production. We can process about 70,000 tons
00:50:33of potatoes and produce about 10,000 tons
00:50:36of potato flakes. To produce 1 kg
00:50:40of potato flakes, you need to spend about 7 kg
00:50:44of potatoes, then accordingly from 1 kg of potato puree, by
00:50:47adding water to it, you can
00:50:50get. from a dry kilogram
00:50:546 kg of ready-made mashed potatoes. 170
00:50:58kg per person per year in terms of consumption of the second bread per capita,
00:51:02Belarus is a world leader. We are in the top twenty for
00:51:05potato production. Despite all this, it is obvious.
00:51:08Potato farming in our country still has room to grow.
00:51:1222,000 hectares of sown area for potato growers is
00:51:15a modest figure, as the head of state points out. It is no
00:51:19coincidence that in the mid- eighties in the Soviet Union.
00:52:45Over the past 5 years, 10 new potato varieties have been created, and they
00:52:49are currently at different stages of state variety testing.
00:52:53In general, there are about 180 potato
00:52:56varieties in the state register, of which about 50 are of Belarusian
00:53:00selection. The results of the potato
00:53:03agricultural season are felt especially, and they are valued
00:53:06more when you see what is happening in the fields of neighbors, in Europe
00:53:10today, to put it mildly, with the harvesting of food potatoes, things
00:53:14are not very good, in Germany, France, Belgium and
00:53:17the Netherlands, its harvest will decrease by about a quarter
00:53:21compared to last year, that is, a little more than 20.5
00:53:24million tons. Heat and drought have hit the crops,
00:53:28exacerbating the situation with the sanctions rhetoric of European
00:53:31authorities. Belarus can only offer to help. well-structured
00:54:05state policy, at the center of which has always been and remains the human being,
00:54:10care for his future, including
00:54:13food security. From the bush to the counter, Belarusian potatoes
00:54:16travel a long and difficult path, all in order to appear on
00:54:20the tables of our people, exceptionally high-quality,
00:54:23fresh and tasty. And although this year was difficult,
00:54:27I am confident we will have
00:54:36From harvesting the second bread to developing the green gold
00:54:39of the country. Belarusian forests require no less careful, but much more powerful
00:54:42approach. And here, heavy artillery of mechanical engineering
00:54:46comes to the forefront. The times of axes and hand saws are in
00:54:49the past, replaced by serious logging
00:54:53complexes of their own production. Only
00:54:56a dozen countries in the world can produce such machines, and Belarus is among
00:54:59them. Iron loggers are assembled at the
00:55:02Amkador enterprise. This is the only one.
00:55:35global resource. Currently, the green belt of the Earth is more than 4
00:55:38billion hectares or 32% of the total
00:55:41land area of the planet. This is a true natural wealth and
00:55:45the green gold of the world economy. Wood today
00:55:48is the basic raw material for hundreds of things without which our
00:55:52daily life is unthinkable. Timber, fiber, paper, cellulose, fuel, furniture,
00:55:55food, medicine - everything is made from ordinary
00:55:59wood.
00:56:03The green gold of the planet is rapidly
00:56:05rising in price. According to UN estimates, by 2050,
00:56:09global appetite for wood will triple, which
00:56:12means the requirements for harvesting and processing wood will become
00:56:15higher. The industry needs steel machines, ready
00:56:18to fell and sort wood day and night in heat
00:56:21and cold. Such equipment is produced in only twelve
00:56:25countries in the world, including Belarus. This is the only
00:56:28specialized manufacturer of high-tech
00:56:32full-cycle logging equipment in Belarus. The enterprise is located
00:56:35in the Logoisk district, and such modern iron loggers
00:56:39are produced here.
00:56:53This is the initial stage of production of machines for the timber industry complex at
00:56:57Amkadorismash. This is the starting point where metal arrives.
00:57:01Depending on its assortment, whether it is bar
00:57:05or sheet, due to the fact that the metal arrives in an improper condition,
00:57:08somewhere with rust, with scale, in order to ensure
00:57:12its proper mechanical processing accuracy, there
00:57:16is a shot blasting camera for shot blasting sheet
00:57:20metal, it is subjected to
00:57:23shot blasting under pressure, ensuring
00:57:26the appropriate surface for mechanical processing,
00:57:30then after that it goes to the laser
00:57:32installation, the operator in automatic mode
00:57:36directly sees what is happening on the sheet,
00:57:40what mechanical processing is taking place, then along the chain
00:57:43straightening, deburring, bending drilling, welding is handled by
00:57:46a high-precision. robotic complex, with its help,
00:57:50the steel frame of the future forest giant acquires monolithic
00:57:54strength, all the work of smart technology is kept under strict
00:57:57control by Denis Urbanovich. For the sake of working at this modern
00:58:00production, the man moved from Minsk to Logoisk, built a house
00:58:04here and has been working at the enterprise for 2 years now. What do you have in
00:58:08your hands? This is a remote control, programs
00:58:11are written here, that is, the work
00:58:14consists of checking all the points. Launched in
00:58:18automatic mode, it welds early, well, this is the latest
00:58:21equipment, that is, I worked at other factories, including in
00:58:24Minsk, that is, in terms of equipment, the workshop
00:58:27is arranged, in principle everything is very
00:58:30decent. After welding, the parts go for mechanical
00:58:33processing. For this process, high-tech equipment is installed here.
00:58:37It allows processing each part from all sides.
00:58:41The process is controlled by operator Alexandrov, who has been in the profession for 20
00:58:44years. Without
00:58:48a specialized education, he mastered all the complex equipment from scratch right at the workplace.
00:58:52high-tech equipment, a portal machine
00:58:56with CNC, allows processing with its
00:58:59technical characteristics welded structures,
00:59:03frames, other welded assemblies,
00:59:06cutting tool, high-precision, then the parts
00:59:09undergo shot blasting and only then go for painting.
00:59:13The equipment is painted in four layers in the paint and drying chamber.
00:59:16Natalia. Korol has been working at the enterprise for 4 years. During this time, not a single hundred
00:59:20parts of future forest machines have passed through her
00:59:24hands. When small parts are brought to you, and
00:59:27then large machines are assembled from these small parts,
00:59:31it's very interesting. How long does the painting process take, tell us? It
00:59:34depends on the part. If you are painting a large frame, then
00:59:37together with preparation and priming,
00:59:40it takes about three hours to paint.
00:59:44Then, as a constructor, he assembles the iron forest piece by piece.
00:59:48The components that are not produced by themselves are helped by the enterprises
00:59:51entering the association. 95%
00:59:54of the components are of domestic production. Amkador Unikab
00:59:58is an enterprise for the production of cabins, located in
01:00:01Molodechno. Amkador Unimot, these
01:00:04are axles, which replaced imported NAF
01:00:08analogues, of our Belarusian production, this is
01:00:11Amkador are not located on Panomarenko, and
01:00:14manipulators, also of our enterprise.
01:00:17The holding is located in Dzerzhinsk, Amkador Simash. Next, the equipment is tested
01:00:21in action, tests are carried out in real
01:00:24logging conditions. Currently, two types of machines fell trees, the first is
01:00:28a harvester, it is designed for cutting trees, cleaning
01:00:31the trunk of branches and bark. Its assistant is this
01:00:35forwarder, it is designed for collecting, loading and transporting
01:00:39logs. The cabins are fully equipped with computers, and
01:00:42joysticks are used for control. There are also front and rear
01:00:45view cameras. Everything is displayed on
01:00:49the monitor. The creation of modern forest machines became
01:00:52possible thanks to the implementation of two large investment
01:00:55projects at the Logoisk enterprise of the Amkador holding. As
01:00:59a result of large-scale modernization of production, the key emphasis was
01:01:02placed on import substitution, because our own components are a guarantee
01:01:06of supply security and high economic benefit. The units
01:01:10we used, instead of the German NAF, we began
01:01:14to produce our own tandem axles, we also imported.
01:01:17manipulators for Harvester and Forwarder, today the line includes about
01:01:2012 manipulators for the entire line or logging equipment
01:01:24grabs, now we are working on putting into
01:01:27serial production harvester heads. In the Amkador holding, there are three
01:01:30factories producing forest machines, two factories are located on
01:01:33the territory of Belarus, one factory is located on the territory of Russia in
01:01:37Petrozavodsk, Karelia. There are no such factories,
01:01:40there are no analogues, which is especially valuable in the era of sanctions, we create the most complex equipment
01:01:44ourselves. The greatest demand for these machines,
01:01:49Our main partner is Russia, in the future we plan to enter the markets of countries
01:01:52in the far arc, and high interest in our machines there has already been
01:01:55confirmed. The main task is to quickly occupy the liberated
01:01:59niches and prove in practice to foreign consumers the quality
01:02:03of Belarusian assembly. In the conditions of external pressure, the forest becomes
01:02:06a powerful growth point, this is a time of opportunities, as the president
01:02:10has repeatedly stated. We need to hurry, we need to do
01:02:13it faster. Such a difficult,
01:02:16hard, but... at the same time beneficial period for us will not
01:02:19happen again in the history of Belarus in the foreseeable
01:02:23future, so we need to hurry, and by no means
01:02:26relax, why? because you are faster?
01:03:00unique engineering solutions, all this allows us to produce equipment
01:03:03ideally suited to the needs of logging, and
01:03:07this independence is critically important, because forest and land
01:03:10resources are a key strategic resource of Belarus. We do not have
01:03:14large reserves of oil or gas, but we have our main natural
01:03:17treasure, over 10 million hectares of the richest forest
01:03:21fund. We need to manage this natural capital
01:03:24carefully, relying on smart machines of the new generation. Only
01:03:28in this way will the green gold of Belarus remain a reliable source
01:03:32of well-being for us
01:03:46logging sites is today a reliable assistant, but buying
01:03:50a car abroad can turn into a dangerous lottery. The following
01:03:54story is about how to buy an almost new car without mileage and still owe
01:03:57the state an additional
01:04:00amount equal to its cost. Unfortunately, this is a reality: the owner of a car
01:04:04purchased from the EAEU may receive a large amount for customs clearance,
01:04:07needing to pay up to 20% of the cost of an already
01:04:10purchased car. Almost new cars purchased from Russian
01:04:13car dealerships are at risk. As the investigation showed,
01:04:16such a story can happen with any dealer.
01:04:20If the scheme is uncovered in Belarus immediately upon registration,
01:04:24since our customs checks the purity of car imports into
01:04:27the country, then in Russia, similar letters of happiness
01:04:30may await owners for 3 years. Surely you have seen cars in
01:04:33Minsk with Kyrgyzstan license plates, whose owners are not
01:04:36in a hurry to attach a Belarusian number to them, the reason being
01:04:40understated customs duties that need to be paid additionally. A big
01:04:44investigation by the main broadcast in Vladimir
01:04:47Korolyov's material. My story began with me deciding
01:04:50to buy a car, I finally saved up for
01:04:53it, to treat myself to buying a new car in
01:04:56the salon. We immediately gave information that I am a
01:05:00citizen of Belarus, that the car will be registered in the city
01:05:03of Minsk, and that I plan to cross the border of
01:05:06the European Union from Minsk in this car, so I have
01:05:10special requirements for its cleanliness and
01:05:13legality. Buying a new BMW in a Russian car dealership and not
01:05:17registering it in Belarus. Olga faced
01:05:20such a problem. This was not her first time buying new
01:05:23cars, she chose a famous car dealership in the Moscow region, but
01:05:27when she arrived in Minsk, a series of problems began. The customs
01:05:30sent me a refusal, so they asked me to
01:05:34provide the real cost of the car, as
01:05:37determined by a certified expert, for the purpose of
01:05:40additional payments to the
01:05:44treasury, because the car,
01:05:48because the car was imported into the EAEU territory
01:05:52at an understated value of 16,600
01:05:56euros, which does not correspond to the value of this car. Olga bought
01:06:00an almost new BMW with 1,300 km on the odometer
01:06:03for 6,200 Russian rubles, which is more than
01:06:0660,000 euros, meaning 3.5 times more expensive than
01:06:10what was declared in the car's documents when it entered
01:06:13the EU territory. After checking the database when registering in
01:06:17Belarus, customs officers refused to register the car
01:06:20based on these data, and the car's assessment revealed the fact that
01:06:24the car was cleared through customs at an understated value. Now
01:06:27the owner needs to pay the outstanding
01:06:31total of 12 thousand dollars. When buying the car, this was not stated in the documents. Olga
01:06:35was asked to pay an additional recycling fee, which, accordingly,
01:06:39was not paid during the sale of this car here.
01:06:43Long disputes and arguments are now online, Olga's rights are protected by
01:06:46lawyer, blogger Yerdrey, their opponents are the manager who sold
01:06:50the BMW, the director of the dealership and blogger Davidych,
01:06:53the video of negotiations and arguments of millionaire bloggers has already
01:06:57been watched by over 2 million people. once on YouTube. There
01:07:01are suppliers who clear customs through Belarus, there are suppliers who clear customs through
01:07:04other countries, on the territory of the Russian
01:07:08Federation, this car is located,
01:07:11cleared through customs, can be registered and registered on absolutely
01:07:15crystal clear legal grounds, in your case you bought a car from
01:07:18us in Russia and took it there
01:07:22to register it, they refused, because
01:07:25the car has a different
01:07:28customs grid,
01:08:12you should ask this question under Article 10 of the Law on Protection of Consumer
01:08:15Rights, you are obliged to bring to the attention of the consumer all
01:08:19necessary information that determines the possibility of
01:08:22making the right choice of goods. We believe that you did not provide this information to Olga, which was very
01:08:25important. During the negotiations, lawyer
01:08:29Andrey Podshevalov built the defense position based on
01:08:32Russian legislation, since the purchase and sale transaction
01:08:35was carried out on the territory of Russia, pointing out the violation of consumer
01:08:39rights to information and the impossibility of using
01:08:43the goods for their intended purpose, the verdict is full compensation for losses, including
01:08:46incidental ones that Olga incurred, as required by
01:08:50the Civil Code of Russia, the opponents do not agree with such an interpretation,
01:08:53calling the situation a precedent, and
01:08:57we can send a request to the customs in Russia and make a direct official
01:09:00request, will you re-calculate or not and get an answer, I
01:09:04am 99% sure that they will say, of course, it is already obvious, the scheme
01:09:08with understating the invoice is not new, a premium car is brought from
01:09:11Europe. OS, USA or China to the territory of the EAEU. Instead
01:09:15of bringing the car directly to Belarus or Russia,
01:09:19it is sent to another country, for example, Kyrgyzstan. You have probably
01:09:22noticed cars with these license plates in Minsk. At customs, declarants
01:09:26present a fake purchase and sale agreement where the
01:09:29value of the vehicle is significantly understated. Let's remember our
01:09:32heroine Olga. Because the car was imported
01:09:36into the EAEU at an understated
01:09:40value of 16,600 euros. This does not correspond
01:09:43to the value of this car, as there is a single
01:09:47customs space between Russia, Kyrgyzstan and Belarus,
01:09:50a car cleared through customs in Kyrgyzstan is freely imported into
01:09:53Russia, here an electronic PTS is issued for it, and the car
01:09:57is put up for sale in a large car dealership, as
01:10:00absolutely clean, but when registered in our country,
01:10:04Belarusian customs immediately checks it and detects
01:10:07unpaid multi-thousand payments, in Olga's
01:10:10case, this difference amounted to a colossal 12,000
01:10:14dollars. Since 2024,
01:10:17measures aimed at preventing mechanisms of
01:10:21gray import of vehicles into Belarus have been applied. The resolution
01:10:24of the Council of Ministers defines criteria, in accordance with which
01:10:28an increased recycling fee is paid
01:10:31when importing vehicles. The key such criterion is the
01:10:35period that has passed since the customs clearance of the vehicle
01:10:39in the respective country of the union. I draw
01:10:42attention precisely to the period of registration, and
01:10:46not the manufacture of the vehicle,
01:10:50so, if less than two years have passed, it will be necessary to
01:10:53submit to customs an independent
01:10:57appraisal, in case the value of the car according to
01:11:00the appraisal is greater than the value at which the car
01:11:03was cleared through customs, then it will be
01:11:06necessary to pay an increased rate
01:11:09of the recycling fee, since the customs policy implements
01:11:42the presence of the very fact of inaccuracy of
01:11:46information is a basis for terminating the contract, when buying
01:11:49a car on the territory of a new state, you always need to study
01:11:52the market, if you see the fact that the car is sold at a price below
01:11:56the market, you should always take this into account and always look for a catch. As soon as
01:12:00customs officers see that a reduced customs clearance fee has been paid for an expensive
01:12:04BMW according to the documents, they refuse automatic
01:12:07registration, demand the conclusion of an independent
01:12:10certified expert on the market value of
01:12:13the car and oblige the buyer to pay
01:12:16the difference in customs duties and recycling fee,
01:12:20based on the real price of the car. And previously no one contacted
01:12:24us saying that they could not register a car purchased from
01:12:27us with the state in their state, so we could
01:12:31theoretically foresee this, but in practice we have not
01:12:34encountered such a situation, so we are ready to take the car
01:12:38from you, regardless of the fact that it has some mileage on it.
01:12:42bring it back from the territory of your state to ours, pay you the full
01:12:46amount you paid for the purchase and sale agreement
01:12:50to us, and we would be happy to if it was possible
01:12:53for losses, okay, I... we will consider such an option, what's
01:12:57the point? Look, you will still have a problem with this car, sooner or
01:13:01later, you will take it, obviously sell it to someone, and that someone,
01:13:04even if they register it here in Russia, will still get this recycling fee, they will
01:13:08still get it, 100% they will get it, 100%. The lawyer hints at
01:13:12the inevitability of a desk audit in Russia, its Federal
01:13:15Customs Service conducts it within 3 years after the import of
01:13:19the car, even if the car remained in Russia, the department would
01:13:22still sooner or later recalculate this
01:13:25recycling fee and duties, judicial practice is absolutely different, sometimes
01:13:29the owner and the car dealership, sometimes the entire chain, that is, I personally
01:13:32saw a court decision where the court collected from four people at the same time,
01:13:36this recycling fee, it works on the principle, whoever
01:13:39can pay, we will collect from them, you know how many
01:13:43cars have been imported and cleared through customs
01:13:46through Kyrgyzstan on the scale of the Russian market,
01:13:50hundreds of thousands, and this law was recently issued, it is new, that's why
01:13:53it was issued. Olga
01:14:15rejected the dealer's offer to return the car and get her money back,
01:14:19because she had already invested in the car, applied protective film, paid for expert services to lawyers, and much more. This week, Olga paid a fee of 12 thousand
01:14:22dollars and is now registering the BMW, and her
01:14:26lawyers are preparing a lawsuit against the car
01:14:28the investigation established that the second to this case, but it is already
01:14:32obvious that there could be hundreds
01:14:49buyers have to pay for questionable car schemes, but entire
01:14:53states are already paying for geopolitical
01:14:55adventures, more than 100 billion euros, this is the amount
01:14:58the European Union paid for another round of transatlantic
01:15:01friendship, this is how much the Old World additionally paid for
01:15:05energy resources since the beginning of the year, to say thank you for this,
01:15:08Europeans should exclusively thank their main strategic
01:15:12partner Washington. First,
01:15:14the states forced them to abandon Russian energy carriers, and then
01:15:18paralyzed the Middle Eastern supply channels. As a result,
01:15:21the Old World unexpectedly got hooked on American. well, the needle in
01:15:25recent months the bloc imported almost 50%
01:15:28of the total volume of diesel from the USA. But it unexpectedly
01:15:32turned out that the states' reserve is not bottomless. The strategic
01:15:36reserve of black gold there collapsed to a minimum since
01:15:391982 and now Trump
01:15:42threatens to completely ban diesel exports to
01:15:45save his own gas stations and
01:15:47ratings. For the European Union this means not just a deficit, but
01:15:51a total increase in the price of absolutely everything. About how the Old
01:15:55World was unprepared for the fuel crisis in the Full Europe
01:15:59section.
01:16:11The European continent once again found itself defenseless in the face of
01:16:14approaching cold weather. Not only has the Old World still
01:16:18not managed to fill its underground gas storage facilities even to a
01:16:22safe minimum. Now it has been hit by
01:16:26another prospect of a much more tangible catastrophe: the continent
01:16:29is on the verge of a severe diesel fuel shortage, all
01:16:33because of that very best friend, without whom enemies are not needed, but
01:16:36openly talking about the USA in Europe is not customary, but it is quite
01:16:40permissible to calculate losses. In
01:16:44the current year, we have already exceeded the mark of 100 billion euros,
01:16:47which we overpaid for energy carriers, without receiving
01:16:50a single additional molecule of gas or oil, 100
01:16:54billion euros.
01:17:25the market, so what did the US do that now the average
01:17:29European suffers from? This is such an economic multi-move
01:17:32that even grandmasters couldn't dream of, first Washington, with
01:17:36the help of Kyiv puppets and the war they unleashed,
01:17:39forced the European Union to almost completely abandon
01:17:42Russian energy resources, then, by provoking chaos in
01:17:46the Middle East, deprived its allies of access to alternative
01:17:49natural resources. As a result, almost the only supplier of fuel to
01:17:53the European market remained the USA itself, only now do
01:17:56Brussels officials begin to realize what colonial
01:17:59dependence and helplessness they
01:18:02have fallen into.
01:18:04When it comes to gasoline and diesel prices, the European Union... in general
01:18:08leaves all member states to fend for themselves in the face of
01:18:11catastrophic consequences of the crisis, the fact that we are
01:18:15expected to compensate for fuel prices at the expense of pensions,
01:18:18healthcare or education, this is a manifestation not
01:18:21only of the incompetence of the European Union, but above all of its
01:18:24cynicism. Americans are clashing with Iran, the entire Middle
01:18:28East is on fire, and member states must
01:18:30pay for a war to which they have no relation,
01:18:34if the union spends hundreds of billions of euros on...
01:20:17I sent a very clear signal to my American colleague, and
01:20:21also to the public, in these difficult circumstances
01:20:24no one, neither the United States, nor we are interested in
01:20:28hindering the freest movement of
01:20:31energy resources, but while some send signals,
01:20:35others try to really save the remnants of
01:20:38logic, even with forceful methods. France, realizing that the American direction
01:20:42could close at any moment, suddenly intended to urgently send
01:20:46its military contingent to Saudi Arabia, radars
01:20:49of air defense systems. The task is to cover these oil
01:20:53refineries and pipelines in the area critical
01:20:56for European imports of the Saudi port
01:21:00Yanbu. Let's see how events unfold. Depending
01:21:03on operational necessity, we can use
01:21:06fighters. We have certain forces in this region,
01:21:10but in any case we are deploying forces to protect this facility,
01:21:14since just a few weeks ago, more than 5 million barrels
01:21:17of oil were shipped daily from here. Meanwhile,
01:21:21Donald Trump also promises a quick normalization of the situation,
01:21:24but his rhetoric completely contradicts the messages
01:21:28of Europeans, the owner of the White House refuses to agree
01:21:31that it was the instability provoked by him in
01:21:34the Middle East that became the root cause of the current global...
01:21:55In fact, this is not a Middle Eastern problem, it is the result of Ukraine and Russia engaging in hostilities. Ukraine is striking diesel refineries in Russia,
01:21:59and they performed a huge amount of refining. I
01:22:03spoke with Zelensky and told him: "You need to cool down your fervor
01:22:07regarding oil refineries, and he replied: well,
01:22:10we will probably do that, because we are creating
01:22:14a global problem. However, we
01:22:17will deal with this situation, I think we will end this
01:22:21conflict very soon, everything will be fine. And, although
01:22:24today leading analysts agree that a possible ban
01:22:27or restriction of diesel fuel exports will not be
01:22:31a panacea for the US itself. This is practically the only measure
01:22:35that the White House can take to temporarily... lower fuel prices
01:22:38domestically, until Trump has stabilized the situation neither in
01:22:42the Middle East nor in Ukraine, this is one of
01:22:45the few ways to boost the Republicans' ratings before the midterm
01:22:49elections, and the voter today is harsh and dissatisfied, because the cost of
01:22:53diesel at gas stations is breaking records, approaching seven dollars per
01:22:56gallon, while the strategic reserve of black gold in
01:23:00American storage facilities has already collapsed to a critical
01:23:03minimum since 1982, so if...
01:23:07he has to choose between a freezing Europe and his own electoral
01:23:11well-being. Experience suggests that he will choose
01:23:15himself without the slightest
01:23:16hesitation.
01:23:27The total increase in the cost of living and the decline in social standards in the EU,
01:23:30instantly explode European streets from within, and the loudest this
01:23:34explosion sounds today in France. The country
01:23:36has been swept by an unprecedented wave of protests. The teenage rebellion in
01:23:40high schools overlapped with a massive paralysis of the public sector. Against strict
01:23:43budget cuts and salary freezes, those who are responsible for
01:23:47the country's vital services rebelled. These include medical professionals,
01:23:50police, firefighters, transport workers, and airline employees. And
01:23:54now the culmination: young people standing up for their right
01:23:58to education. The students' demands are extremely
01:24:01simple: they demand an end to cuts in education, restoration of
01:24:05funding, and provision of normal conditions in classrooms. But instead
01:24:09of dialogue, regarding the shortage of teachers and overloaded schedules, the Elysée
01:24:12Palace responded with brutal violence. Macron's regime
01:24:16offers a wall of batons, tear gas, rubber
01:24:19bullets, all in one week, police detained
01:24:22over 500 people across the country, just imagine, about
01:24:2585% of them are minors, most of them schoolchildren.
01:24:55As a result of the mass beating, at least 170
01:24:59students suffered severe democratic injuries. The wave of protests
01:25:02swept across the country, trying to stifle the uprising and hide the scale
01:25:05of the disaster, the Minister of Education hastily announced the transfer of the rebellious
01:25:09lyceums to a distance learning format. Against the backdrop
01:25:12of systemic problems, Macron's rating collapsed to its lowest level
01:25:16ever. He is supported by only 18% of citizens.
01:26:09people are protesting because they've had enough,
01:26:13I think everyone is
01:26:14tired of it.
01:26:31The quality of public services is declining, there is virtually
01:26:35nothing left of all these services.
01:26:57The systemic crisis of the Fifth Republic risks paralyzing the core of
01:27:00the European Union. Against this background, tectonic shifts are beginning in
01:27:04the Balkans, although the scenario here is written not by rebellious streets, but by
01:27:07the politicians themselves. Aleksandar Vučić resigned early,
01:27:11not serving his full term in the presidential chair, to head
01:27:14the government and retain real power. Early
01:27:18parliamentary elections in Serbia will be held on October 25. They
01:27:22will determine whether his ruling Serbian
01:27:24Progressive Party can form a new cabinet, and whether he can take
01:27:28the post of prime minister. The duties of the head of state for this
01:27:32period were assumed by the Speaker of Parliament Ana Brnabić, an openly
01:27:35lesbian with a perfect biography for the West, diplomas from the USA and
01:27:39Britain, experience working in USAID structures, and a clear pro-Ukrainian
01:27:42position. Vučić emphasized that he is resigning early
01:27:45to lead the election race as an ordinary
01:27:48citizen. He still has a large
01:27:51electorate to communicate with. And if in
01:27:54the Balkans the political helm is seized through calculated
01:27:58combinations, then in the Middle East the real aircraft helm almost became
01:28:02an instrument of mass murder. A loud
01:28:04incident almost led to a repeat of the September 11
01:28:07tragedy. There was an attack on the captain of a FlyDubai
01:28:10aircraft flying from Dubai to Tel Aviv. The attacker,
01:28:14the second pilot, an Omani citizen, at the moment of the fight in the cockpit
01:28:17of the Boeing 730. the liner was on
01:28:20the verge of crashing, the vertical descent rate exceeded 150
01:28:24m/second, from critical overloads it almost
01:28:28fell apart. According to eyewitnesses, the tragedy was prevented by
01:28:30crew members. The control of the
01:28:32FlyDubai aircraft was taken over by other pilots of the same
01:28:36airline who were flying on this flight as
01:28:39passengers. And it is noteworthy how quickly Western propaganda tried
01:28:42to intervene in this story. No sooner had the liner touched down than large
01:28:46European media rushed to declare: in the cockpit
01:28:49a Russian and a Ukrainian
01:28:52fought, and it was the Russian, according to Bild, who attacked
01:28:56his colleague. The convenient narrative for the West was immediately thrown into
01:28:59TV broadcasts. The fake spread in a matter of hours, until the official
01:29:02investigation poured a bucket of cold water on the hotheads.
01:29:06The attacker turned out to be a radical from Oman, and the captain was a citizen
01:29:09of India, but no one on in the West, of course, apologized for
01:29:13the hasty Russophobic conclusions. Yes,
01:29:16pilot, who attacked the captain of the aircraft, planned to
01:29:20deliberately crash the plane with passengers on board.
01:29:23The suspect hit the captain with a special aviation emergency
01:29:26axe, which was in the cockpit of the aircraft in case of unforeseen
01:29:30circumstances. After that, he tried to take control
01:29:33of the aircraft, the investigation of the incident
01:29:35continues.
01:29:41From dangerous dives in international skies to peaceful sports
01:29:44flights over the net. These days, all attention of Belarusian
01:30:06having gone on a business trip, discovered on the spot that
01:30:09our country's motives go far beyond the volleyball
01:30:13arena. Andrey
01:30:14Kozlov will continue.
01:30:19We are approaching the high right
01:30:22bank of the Volga, on which in
01:30:26forty-first year Yanka
01:30:28Kupala came out, a view of the Volga, of Kazan.
