00:00:50Belarus is always open for cooperation with Russian regions, and interaction
00:00:54along the Union line was discussed today at the Palace of Independence. Our
00:00:58president held a meeting with the Republic of Altai, a
00:01:01picturesque mountainous region in Southern Siberia. Alexander Lukashenka
00:01:05has heard about its beauty. Tourism and agriculture are mainly developed
00:01:08here. This is the defining direction of our
00:01:12mutual interests. We trade with Gorno-Altaisk in
00:01:16small volumes, but there are opportunities for expanding economic
00:01:19contacts. For this, Andrey Turchak came to Minsk
00:01:23to discuss prospective areas of cooperation. The
00:01:26visit program is extensive; guests visited pharmaceutical enterprises and production facilities
00:01:30of municipal and road equipment. I
00:01:33know your region geographically and historically
00:01:36quite well, although I've never been there, even though the Russian president
00:01:39invited me several times, saying, "Let's go,
00:01:43I'll show you the beauty." Well, Russia has an enormous number
00:01:47of such beauties, so
00:01:51the southern part of Siberia is a very interesting
00:01:54region, and the tourist direction is very
00:01:57interesting to our people mutually.
00:03:30at arm's length. Yesterday we held,
00:03:33thank you, quite a busy day, got acquainted with a number
00:03:36of your enterprises that have, I believe, some of
00:03:40the best competencies in the world, these are both
00:03:43Belmedpreparaty,
00:03:45and Amkodor, well-known for its equipment, and
00:03:48a company producing unmanned aerial vehicles,
00:03:52including civilian applications, and
00:03:55the production of armaments, military equipment. This was also very
00:03:59useful for me. Minsk is ready to strengthen ties in
00:04:02various spheres, from food supplies to the promotion
00:04:06of tourism services. More detailed directions for interaction will be discussed in
00:04:09the government, where a working group meeting on cooperation between Belarus and
00:04:12the Republic
00:04:13of Altai will be held.
00:04:19In the city of Oleshki, Kherson region, the ceasefire regime continues to be in effect,
00:04:23within which a large humanitarian mission is taking place.
00:04:27Its primary goal is mine clearance of roads, ensuring
00:04:30safe corridors for the evacuation of peaceful
00:04:33residents. Each resident will be given the right to choose the direction
00:04:37towards Russia or Ukraine. Russian
00:04:39Ministry of Defense representatives specified that most mines
00:04:42are predominantly Western-made. Sappers
00:04:45destroy them on site. The main
00:04:48task is to clear roads of explosive objects in order
00:04:52for a safe convoy with humanitarian
00:04:55aid to pass. The density of mines in this
00:04:58area is very high.
00:05:13According to Yana Lantratova, the mission also involves the delivery of food, water,
00:05:17hygiene products, and the provision of medical
00:05:20assistance
00:05:22to local residents. The start of large-scale mine clearance operations
00:05:25on access roads to Oleshki opened a new
00:05:28chapter in the humanitarian mission, where the Gomel
00:05:32region became the starting point for face-to-face contacts and coordination
00:05:35of the parties. Today, delegations of both sides, led by human rights commissioners, arrived in Belarus
00:05:39to establish safe routes for evacuation.
00:05:43This very fact once again
00:05:46underscores the essence of the Belarusian character. Our
00:05:49country welcomes people as a truly warm and
00:05:52native home, where they are genuinely ready to help everyone who
00:05:56is in trouble.
00:05:59In Spain, a 24-hour strike by train drivers
00:06:02has been announced. According to the union, it will affect
00:06:05high-speed, intercity, medium-haul, and
00:06:08suburban rail transport. In this regard, disruptions are possible in...
00:06:42are considered missing.
00:06:46Europeans are preparing for a cold winter. More than 50,000 residents
00:06:50will not be able to pay for heating. These alarming calculations were presented
00:06:53by the European Commissioner for Energy. He also emphasized that the current crisis
00:06:57threatens the competitiveness of the EU economy. At the same time,
00:07:00the European Commission does not expect interruptions in fuel supplies this winter,
00:07:04but expects very high prices for it. Utility bills
00:07:08will become heavier. However, Europeans have already felt
00:07:11the burden on their wallets. According to sociological surveys, at the beginning of the heating season, for more than
00:07:1570% of Poles, payments for gas,
00:07:18electricity, and heating increased, and bills in Poland and Lithuania will rise
00:07:22by at least another 20%. The situation
00:07:25is exacerbated by the fact that protection programs for low-income populations
00:07:28have ended, and citizens are entering the new heating season
00:07:31without state
00:07:34support.
00:07:37The European Union's green climate policy has led to a number of major
00:07:41structural problems.
00:08:13for example, we should have taken
00:08:16something like, for example, what the People's
00:08:20Republic of China did, where policies are planned
00:08:24and have long-term prospects.
00:08:27In Europe's case, it was not centralized
00:08:30at all, not planned
00:08:33at all, but rather it's some kind of
00:08:36ideology placed above
00:08:40laws without any connection to the real
00:08:43economy, to the true economy.
00:08:47Therefore, it should have been done differently.
00:08:50Now we see
00:08:52the consequences.
