The result of the meat assault there is 30 destroyed militants and equipment. And in just a day in this direction in the APU, at least two attacks failed, they lost under 200 people. Equipment, as always, is a расходный материал, more howitzers, less howitzers, while the curators are bringing up, it is necessary to use it, having allowed damage. The intensified attempts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to attack, as the last time, are explained by the approaching rainy season. they want to gain a foothold in their positions and stay on them in the winter, otherwise the thaw will become a serious obstacle, but our military is confusing all their cards, on the southern Donetsk front, during the day, the group... improved the position along the front edge. * A unit of the Vostok Troops group in the southern Donetsk direction, in cooperation with assault and army aviation, improved the position along the front edge and repelled two attacks by APU assault groups in the Priyutnoye area. * The enemy's losses amounted to 105 servicemen, two armored combat vehicles, and five vehicles. * The activities of the sabotage and reconnaissance group of the 110th brigade of the territory were suppressed. * Today, fresh кадры of the destruction of foreign equipment appeared, the Polish self-propelled gun Krab was liquidated with an accurate strike, another arrival was recorded at a strong point in Severesk. * On the Kupyansk direction, the militants have noticeably reduced their counteroffensive activity, losses, which day are not so big, but after all, reserves are not unlimited, the defense of Kupyansk rests against the Oskol River, our military is confidently. does not stop, Russian missilemen walked well through the field warehouses, the day before the ammunition depot of the first special forces brigade was destroyed in the Kharkiv region, the ammunition depot in the Kirovograd region too, our pilots sent the Ukrainian Su-25 attack aircraft to the Junk, here, by the way, about the pilots, our fleet of military aircraft was replenished with another batch of Su-35 and Su-57 fighters, the vehicles прошли полный цикл заводских испытаний, протестированы в разных режимах и готовы к выполнению задач, вот тут важно добавить су-57 - это истребители пятого поколения задачи перед летчиками этих самолетов будут ставиться еще более комплексные и увеличение числа су5сят седьмых в небе над фронтами - это очень хорошая новость для нашей армии и очень плохая, если не сказать ужасная для киевского командования, при том, что даже сейчас уже воздушное... превосходство УВСУ нулевое. * The closer to the line of combat contact, which passes through the Serebryansky forestry, the more armored vehicles we meet. * Here, in order to replenish ammunition and fuel supplies, tankers of the Central Military District are returning from the front lines. * And this is a heavy flamethrower system. the sun is already moving in the opposite direction to its firing line. * Assault groups are being transferred closer to the front line, right on the armor, and already directly to the place of execution of the combat mission on such armored vehicles Akhmat. * To the place where these vehicles of the Central Military District replenish fuel supplies and are based in anticipation of the loading of assault groups, we are already driving in the armored vehicle itself. * Together with the base, a fighter of the assault group with the call sign Garik tells us about the experience of protecting housing, which they received here on the Krasnolimansky direction. * We dig dugouts underground, then we lay them in four layers, here we live three to five people, there were arrivals, three layers break through, four layers do not break through, so we decided to put four layers. * This car recently withstood a hit from a fragment of a large-caliber mine fired by the Ukrainian military. * At the place of basing, there are still several of these armored vehicles. * This is an armored car Akhmat, it is in such that the assault groups move. * Here there is space for comfortable размещения of ten people, as well as enough space for the protection of weapons and an additional set of ammunition. * A couple of armored vehicles Akhmat are sent to the point where an assault group awaits them. * And a few kilometers from the front line, the self-propelled mortar установка Нона completed its work. * The main task today is to inflict a massive blow to the enemy's fortifications, before the assault groups enter there. * The commander of the gun tells us about the details of the combat work here at Torsky. * arrivals happen sometimes, our car is very mobile, that is, we can safely leave the position, we cover our own infantry, a drone rises, coordinates are given, we shoot at these coordinates, we make certain adjustments according to these adjustments, we hit the targets, that is, during these adjustments we destroyed three NATO-made pickups. * The joint combat work of assault groups and artillerymen of the Central Military District does not stop... * Andrei Yurchuk Alina Zykova lead the line of contact in the Luhansk People's Republic Krasnolimanskaya 7. **Canadian authorities are лукавят when they say that they did not know about the fact of inviting the Nazi collaborator Yaroslav Gunko to parliament, the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Maria Zakharova said, she stressed that Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Freeland is a member of the so-called Canadian-Ukrainian Congress, sponsored by Gonka. The diplomat recalled that after the Second World War, Canada accepted many former SS men. Zakharova. stressed that members of the Ukrainian division of the CCC Glichina, as well as the radical OUN UPA, and their descendants still have an influential lobby in Canada. In addition, such a high-level visit would not have been possible without a thorough check carried out by the special services of several states at once, so Gunko's biography was not a secret to anyone. Before getting abroad as an honorary guest at an event with Zelensky's participation, it is necessary to be checked by the special services. from A to Z, причем not only Ukraine and Canada, but also the USA, Britain and a number of other countries. Zakharova drew attention to the footage of how the Nazi Yaroslav Gunko is waiting for a meeting with Trudeau and Zelensky in the reception room, that is, in a room where you can only get after a thorough check of the biography, Gunko's granddaughter posted on social networks, then deleted, but these photos have already managed to облететь the Internet. The Canadian Prime Minister after that managed to apologize, but did... so that they began to criticize him even more, the Russian ambassador to Canada, Oleg Stepanov, told our channel about this. This is, in fact, not, not an apology, for this already, Justin Trudeauo is strongly criticized here, because he apologized, not himself and not on behalf of the Canadian government, as if on behalf of parliament, here he apologized it is not clear to whom. therefore, he was forced to do this, well, it looks a little funny from our point of view, well, and another similar scandal is now flaring up in Germany, a video has appeared on the Internet in which German admirers of Hitler celebrate Oktoberfest. These кадры were filmed at the end of last week in Saxony, on them, drunk visitors to the pub not only listen to the march at maximum volume. Erica of the Second World War, but throw up their hands in a Nazi salute. The latter in Germany is a criminal offense, punishable by a fine of imprisonment for up to 3 years. The Saxon police have started searching for the participants and organizers of the scandalous party. 8. **Ukraine will not receive anything from the EU budget until the funds due to it from the European funds are paid in Hungary. This was announced by the government of the country. Will Western allies continue. to provide assistance to Kiev, разобралась Наталья Гончарова. The real losses in the APU are very large and few people know the exact figures. Kyiv has classified statistics, the Polish Mysl edition notes that hundreds of thousands have been killed since the beginning of the conflict. Now everyone is being taken to the front, and under 60 with tuberculosis and even swine infection. The New York Times notes that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are at an impasse and this will weaken Kyiv's support from Washington. Ukraine has achieved minimal success in its counteroffensive, making every attack extremely costly. It was France and Germany, the guarantors of the Minsk agreements, who are responsible for the destruction of the territorial integrity of Ukraine, stressed the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry Sergei Lavrov. Berlin and Paris admitted that they were biding their time to give the Kyiv regime time to prepare for war. And now there are a lot of people who want to make money on the conflict. Actually, in the States, this is not hidden. The Senate directly stated that 90% of aid to Ukraine. believe that this is why no one in the US ruling circles wants reconciliation. This is how it works, the Democrats sent Ukraine a bunch of taxpayers' money, in order for it to blow up everything that is possible, and then sent another bunch of your money to fix what they blew up. And of course, they got a taste for it. What a great scheme, right? US Army intelligence officer Tony Shaffer is confident that the White House has long since lost touch with reality and simply does not want to admit defeat. They have John McCain syndrome, I will pretend until it works, or until I die. Approximately to such a thesis everything is reduced, in my opinion, this is exactly how they look at the situation, they simply do not believe that this can be so, from my point of view, this is such a form of narcissism, I think that they thought that we could defeat the Russians, the key to success was in two things: firstly, in the Ukrainians, whom we trained and armed, we hoped that they would fight at the level, but most importantly, we expected that the sanctions would quickly put the Russians in their place, it was a mistake. The French указывает, due to the failure in Ukraine and ill-considered policies, the West is rapidly losing its. all over the world runs from military and political fronts. 9. **The missile and nuclear shield reliably protects Russia, makes the dreams of some politicians in the West about the strategic defeat of our country absurd.

The exposition is presented in the Museum of Modern History of Russia, the speakers spoke about the Soviet heritage and the current state of affairs in the nuclear industry. I want to say that this is an extremely important thing, today, retrospectively realizing that if it were not for Kurchatov, there is a very high probability that Alexandrov, then Kurchatov's business could have been smeared, disappeared, its significance and its sound would not have been the same, of course, not... the indisputable leadership of our country in nuclear energy is the result of a certain historical path, brilliant fundamental discoveries and technological developments, at the origins of which stood outstanding Soviet scientists, physicists, Igor Vasilyevich Kurchatov and Anatoly Petrovich Alexandrov. the messages that are coming to the news agency feeds these minutes with the lightning mark, Vladimir Putin поручил до 15 декабря определить источники финансирования национального центра исторической памяти, это сообщение со ссылкой на Кремль, ждем, какие детали будут появляться. 10. **Gazprombank became the new owner of Mega shopping centers in Russia.

opposition in the US Congress to providing further funding to Ukraine, with some lawmakers calling for a reduction in aid. **Ukrainian Tactics Ineffective Against Russian Defenses** * Ukrainian forces

=========================================== ./RUN1/RUSSIA24_20230928_193000_RIK_Rossiya_24.transcript.srt.txt ------------------------------------------- **Story 1: Karabakh Armenians Face Uncertain Future** The future of Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh is uncertain, with some analysts predicting that they will soon cease to exist in the region. These alarmist statements contradict the claims made by the Armenian Prime Minister on September 21, who stated that there was no threat to Armenians from Azerbaijan. The situation in the region remains difficult, with a catastrophic shortage of fuel and transportation making it difficult for people to leave. More than 500 civilians, including nearly 300 children, are currently being housed in Russian peacekeeping facilities, where they are being provided with food and medicine. Russian helicopter crews have also been evacuating the wounded to Stepanakert. Humanitarian aid is being sent from all over the republic to the border, where most of the refugees are currently located. Volunteers are playing a crucial role in collecting and distributing aid, as the government is largely unable to provide for the needs of the displaced population. **Story 2: Ukrainian Official Claims They Will Provide Soldiers With "Life, Health, and Dignity"** Recently appointed Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov has made bold claims about providing soldiers with life, health, and dignity. While these statements may sound promising, the reality on the ground tells a different story. The consequences of reckless military tactics, such as the infamous "meat grinder" assaults, are a testament to the lack of regard for soldiers' lives. Furthermore, there are serious doubts about the dignity of the Ukrainian military, as evidenced by footage of soldiers working in a makeshift weapons factory, where they are seen welding and assembling outdated Soviet cannons onto truck beds. These efforts to create a semblance of mobile artillery fall far short of NATO standards and expose the shortcomings of both Reznikov and his predecessor, Oleksiy Reznikov. **Story 3: Ukrainian Forces Resort to Desperate Measures as Weaponry Runs Low** Faced with dwindling Soviet-era weaponry, Ukrainian forces are resorting to desperate measures to maintain their military capabilities. They have been observed using outdated anti-aircraft guns and jury-rigging old artillery pieces onto trucks in an attempt to create makeshift mobile artillery systems. While these efforts demonstrate the ingenuity of the Ukrainian people, they also highlight the dire state of their military. Experts point out that the improvised weapons lack accuracy and reliability, and that the old ammunition often explodes in the barrels, as evidenced by videos shared by the Ukrainian Armed Forces themselves. **Story 4: Western Military Support for Ukraine Faces Scrutiny** Western countries, including the UK and France, have been providing military support to Ukraine, but there are growing doubts about the effectiveness and sustainability of this aid. Some experts argue that the heavy NATO weaponry provided to Ukraine is not being used effectively, with Ukrainian forces opting for hit-and-run tactics and avoiding direct confrontations. The New York Times suggests that this slowdown in progress could lead to new risks for the Ukrainian military, as the window of opportunity for significant territorial gains narrows. With winter approaching, heavy rains and muddy terrain could further hinder the use of heavy equipment. Critics argue that the West should focus on providing more targeted and effective support, rather than simply throwing money at the problem. **Story 5: US Congress Holds Impeachment Hearings Against Biden** Impeachment hearings against US President Joe Biden have begun in the House of Representatives, prompting a nervous reaction from the White House.

------------------------------------------- **Russian Regions Take Steps Towards Integration with Russia** *Russian regions have taken another important step towards integration into the country's legal framework, according to Vladimir Putin. *Putin spoke with those who won the recent elections for regional heads. *Putin noted that the regions voted in a number of subjects, including for the first time under Russian laws, in the so-called new, or more precisely, historical lands of Donbass and Novorossiya. *This is an important step towards their integration into a single legal space of the country. *The elections were held for the first time under Russian law in the new regions of Donbass and Novorossiya, where, following the results of the vote in the regional parliaments, the incumbent heads of the subjects of the federation were confirmed. *This is a significant event and an important step towards the full integration of the new regions into the единое правовое, государственное пространство нашей большой страны. *The situation and tasks in these subjects of the federation are special, but Putin is convinced that both the regional authorities and, most importantly, the people, our citizens, feel the support that all of Russia gives them. *The high level of voters' trust is not only a great honor, but also a great responsibility, and it is important to justify citizens' hopes for positive changes in the social sphere and, of course, in the economy. *New times mean new challenges and new opportunities. *The key factor for the well-being of Russian families, increasing their incomes, solving demographic and social problems, is the development of regional economies, strengthening their personnel, educational, technological base, creating new jobs. *In this regard, now is certainly a time of new opportunities and new approaches, despite the plans of those who dreamed of strangling us with sanctions. *On the contrary, external pressure has ultimately become a powerful stimulus for the growth of our own production, the disclosure of our own potential in a wide variety of areas. *Of course, it is necessary to continue to work closely with the government, federal and municipal authorities to provide the necessary support to companies and enterprises that are ready to occupy the vacated niches, to offer projects and solutions, including those of a high-tech nature, that are in demand by the economy and meet our national goals and priorities. *In the current conditions, it is important not only to implement the regional powers that the heads of the subjects exercise constantly, housing and communal services, transport, current issues, as Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin noted, today it is necessary to do everything possible to help the country during the special military operation. *This is not only all-round support for the fighters. *We must do everything to help the country during the special military operation, and not only social support for our soldiers, their families, but also for the economy, for the defense industry complex, for those guys who are fighting at the front today, creating new industrial capacities, supporting the supply of necessary things, food, humanitarian aid. *This is very important, this is precisely what creates a platform for the consolidation of our society, a sense of its cohesion. *In the new regions, which are now at the forefront, the elections were of particular importance, since, in fact, they confirmed the correctness of the course chosen by the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics, as well as Zaporozhye and Kherson, already as part of Russia. *This is exactly how the head of the DPR expressed it. *When it became known about the high turnout of voters in the Donetsk People's Republic in the elections, I heard the phrase "Donbass never ceases to amaze," but you know, for us within the region, this is absolutely logical, and this has become another confirmation of such activity, the correctness of the choice and reunification with the Russian Federation. *I give you my word that I will not let you down, I will justify your trust, but on my own behalf and on behalf of my fellow countrymen, I can say with confidence. *Donbass will not let you down, you can rely on us entirely, there are a lot of issues that the elected heads of the subjects will have to deal with, Putin dwelt on this separately, but I emphasize that all the necessary resources to solve them are there, it is important to распорядиться ими правильно. *The level of turnout, the level of support, it is indicative, it говорит о том, что люди нам, всем.... в данном случае вам конкретно верят, доверяют свою жизнь, свою судьбу в значительной степени, потому что проблем очень много, у нас есть все возможности для их решения, все, как это не покажется странным, кому-то со стороны, тем, кто ожидал, что у нас здесь всё рухнет, наоборот, экономика набирает темпы, промышленность работает так, как давно уже не работала, сельское хозяйство, темпами, которых не было в советское время, у нас есть всё для того, чтобы эффективно идти по избранному пути, укреплять страну, но в значительной степени её общие результаты будут зависеть от того, как вы работаете в регионах, решение демографических и социальных задач, создание новых рабочих мест, подготовка кадров, развитие инфраструктуры, далеко не полный перечень того, на что президент призвал обращать внимание в первую очередь, пожелал избранным главам субъектов успехов, ведь из успехов каждого из 89 регионов складывается успех большой страны. **Putin Meets with Libyan National Army Commander** *Vladimir Putin met with the commander of the Libyan National Army, Khalifa Haftar. *This was reported by the press secretary of the

ну с пожий помощи, так вот что вывели людей, короче, а 10 человек вывели, момент был один только, чтобы в первую очередь сохранить жизнь, угу, и себя всех ребят, кто были рядом. **Leader of Unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh Signs Decree on Dissolution of Republic** *The leader of the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh signed a decree, from January 1 of next year the republic will no longer exist, the authorities are dissolved, the armed formations are surrendering their weapons. *More than 78,000 people have already left Karabakh, they have left for neighboring Armenia. *And this is despite Azerbaijan's calls for integration. *Natalia Solovyova on historical events. *Thousands of refugees in cars, buses, in the bodies of dump trucks are traveling on everything that can move. *This path is only a few hundred kilometers, but it was this one that turned out to be the most difficult test in life. *I never in my life thought that I would have to leave Karabakh, I still don't believe it, as if it were all in a dream. *Now almost the entire unrecognized republic is leaving along the narrow Lachin corridor. *This is 12,000 people, more than half have already crossed the border, but such a forced return to their historical homeland is not welcome. *Those who put us in such a situation, they should be responsible for everything, everyone thinks about their own pockets, I don't believe any of them. *Yerevan, for 30 years, did not recognize the small republic, and today it is no longer there. *The decree on the abolition of Nagorno-Karabakh has already been signed. *To dissolve all state institutions and organizations that are in their departmental. *Nagorno-Karabakh Artsakh ceases to exist. *Representatives of Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan have already held two meetings on the issue of reintegration, but Yerevan is confident that the Armenians on their native land, which instantly became another state, will only face repression in Baku, on the contrary, they promise to finally put an end to the enmity. *In the course of the movement of the inhabitants of the People's Karabakh to Armenia at the checkpoint and its passage. *We must take steps to protect them, their rights must be protected in international arenas, the analysis shows that in the coming days there will be no Armenians left in Nagorno-Karabakh. *Such alarmist statements, in addition to contradicting the statement of the Prime Minister of Armenia on September 21, about the absence of a threat to Armenian residents from Azerbaijan, also undermine Azerbaijan's efforts towards humanitarian support and reintegration, and undermine the possible prospects for peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia. *Belief in a common happy future was undermined by the arrest of the former head of the Karabakh government, Ruben Vardanyan. *He was detained in the Lachin corridor. *He was taken to Baku, where the court today remanded him in custody. *Vardanyan is accused of financing terrorism. *Under this article, he can spend 14 years behind bars. *Another official, adviser to the President of the Republic David Babayan, made a difficult decision to surrender to the Azerbaijani authorities voluntarily, adding that his relatives would understand him. *In the republic itself, the situation remains difficult, a catastrophic shortage of fuel and transport makes people hostages of the situation. *Many cannot leave Karabakh, more than 500 civilians, including almost 300 children, are in the location of the Russian peacekeeping contingent, they were provided with food and medicine, and Russian helicopter crews completed the evacuation of the wounded to Stepanok. *By the forces of the aviation group of the Russian peacekeeping contingent, the transportation of civilians from the city of Stepanok to medical institutions of the Republic of Armenia was carried out, the task set before the army aviation and the Russian peacekeeping contingent was completed in full. *From all over the Republic, humanitarian aid is going to the border, where refugees are now mainly located, it is collected in Yerevan and sent in tons to forced переселенцам, забота о них практически всецело легла на плечи волонтёров. *People who are leaving their homes today need any help, to the question of volunteers, what exactly can be brought, they simply answer everything, these are cereals, these are средства... hygiene and of course warm clothes. *The Russian House in Yerevan sent to the cities of Goris and Vai, where the situation is now close to catastrophic. *Clothes and diapers for children, a warm blanket, and this cargo will definitely not be the last. *We conducted monitoring in hotels, Garisakh, where refugees are now located, children's shoes are very necessary, thirty-seventh-thirty-eighth size, warm sweaters, small electric kettles, coffee makers, clothes five, for girls and boys 5-6 years old. *And slippers for children 35, thirty-sixth size, as well as warm blankets, warm blankets are simply swept away. *In the near future, an airplane with humanitarian cargo will arrive in Gyumri, another 10 tons from the Dr. Lisa Foundation, essential items will also be delivered to Syunik. *Natalia Solovyova Ilya Novikov, Vesti Armenia. **What preceded these events will now be told by Elizaveta Khramtsova.** *Karabakh is one of... all translations black garden is a black cat of Armenian-Azerbaijani relations. *Both sides consider the region their own, referring to different periods of history. *Armenians prefer to call this part of the Transcaucasus Artsakh by the name of the region that existed during the period of the ancient Armenian state. *When the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic was formed in 1918, Karabakh ended up in its составе together with all the Armenians who lived there. *Well, yes, there was the Azerbaijani-Armenian war, 1618-1920. *Karabakh is a place where both Armenian and Azerbaijani populations lived, that is, Azerbaijanis there were more engaged in pasture cattle breeding, Armenians were engaged more in земледелием and no one really bothered anyone, but in the eighteenth year, nationalists came to power in Armenia, in Azerbaijan, and nationalists always have the task of dividing everything, but soon a completely different period of history began, the Soviet national country managed to maintain a relative balance: two peoples lived peacefully side by side, but when the Soviet Union began to shake, the republics in the Transcaucasus flared up again. *As a result, Armenia and Azerbaijan started a war for the disputed land. *That is, the very idea that it can belong to both of them, even in the head did not come. *And this is precisely what caused the armed conflict, which then, immediately after the collapse of the union, the Armenians won. *The situation in which the disputed region has lived since the ninety-fourth year can only be called peace with a big stretch. *Armenia itself. *Karabakh was in no hurry, the region remained the territory of Azerbaijan. *The first three presidents of Armenia built their careers largely on the fact that they were participants in the Karabakh war, victorious for Yerevan. *They inscribed this in the context of international actions, international peacekeeping negotiations, in which not only Russia, but also Western countries took part. *And against this background, they wanted to maintain such solidity, good manners. *And they did not dare to go all the way. *Having come to power, Nikol Pashinyan, in fact, did nothing to peacefully resolve this issue, while the West all the time pushed the leadership of Armenia to ensure that Yerevan broke off relations with Russia as soon as possible, too many people wanted to use Karabakh for this. *The concept that Karabakh should be handed over and live peacefully and peacefully, he promoted this concept even before coming to power, so we have an expert opinion in which they say that this is all нарошно done, everything is убушленно done. *In the fall of 2020, the so-called forty-four-day war happened, during which... repulsed significant territories, including the city of Shusha. *Moscow then seated the leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia at the negotiating table, but the signing of a peace treaty was constantly postponed, the parties accused each other of violating the agreements reached at a meeting with Vladimir Putin, and only Russian peacekeepers prevented the conflict from flaring up again. *As a result, Pashinyan did not fight for the region and recognized in Prague the so-called Almaty declaration, which clearly states that Karabakh is part of Azerbaijan. *And since Armenia from the unrecognized republic. *in fact, refused, Azerbaijan began, as stated in Baku, to

will tell you more. *Opening session. *In his speech, he said that the country managed to smoothly adapt to new challenges and quickly return to growth, already according to the results of this year, economic growth of more than 2.5% is expected, and the figure of 2% will be maintained in the next 3 years. *Such dynamics became possible thanks to the implementation of the president's instructions, flexible and prompt actions of the government in coordination with the Bank of Russia. *They made it possible to neutralize many challenges: to support basic industries, small and medium-sized businesses, system-forming enterprises, and of course, most importantly, our citizens. *The responsible approach to financial policy also played an important role. *One of the tasks for the government remains attracting foreign investment, and here they plan to use, among other things, digital assets. *The government, in coordination with the Bank of Russia, has prepared such a step-by-step plan. *to create such a system within which the legal and technical aspects will be analyzed. *This, I hope, will give new opportunities for attracting foreign investment, which in the current conditions can significantly facilitate the movement of capital, which is extremely important. *At the plenary session itself, they talked about the future of the ruble and the exchange rate policy, and the Central Bank once again confirmed its position, as Elvira Nabiullina said, the regulator is against additional prohibitions and restrictions, if we now had a rate of 7.5 or 8.5, the rate would be much weaker, there are proposals, how to make the rate more stable, including through the introduction of additional currency restrictions, we are having discussions, it seems to me, our experience, our personal experience, the experience of other countries shows that administrative measures are very quickly circumvented and do not give a significant effect. *Economic incentives are needed, the attractiveness of ruble savings is needed, here is another opinion of the Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov, he said that difficult times require radical measures, even if temporary, the multiplicity of exchange rates, destroying the free economy and the normal economy in general, means, but nevertheless, some restrictions that most countries of the world accept, in principle, it seems to me, we can count and we can, well, at least discuss, we need to build a more complex system, because even the central bank, Elvira's colleagues, admit that it is possible to restrict the movement of capital for a temporary period, so we are not talking about forever, let's just try some new instruments, otherwise, I agree with the assessment of Andrei Leonidovich, for openness we will have to constantly pay an increased rate, for the expansion of the arsenal of momentary actions, the head of VTB, Andrei Kostin, spoke out in favor of the authorities, according to him, if the rate reaches 20%, this will be a very serious blow to the Russian economy, purely traditional methods, which we traditionally used, they will be insufficient to achieve the goals that the central bank and the government set for themselves, hence there are several options, either to change the goals, and why, for example, inflation targeting at 4%, I proposed 6.5, especially since it is also changing in the West, or it is really necessary... *A transformation process is unfolding around the Russian economy, presidential aide Maxim Oreshkin called this process painful, but successful, now it is much more important that there is simply... =========================================== ./RUN1/RUSSIA24_20230928_213000_RIK_Rossiya_24.transcript.srt.txt ------------------------------------------- 1.

Gazprombank has closed a deal to buy 14 Mega shopping centers from the Swedish Inca centers. The company continued to own them after the closure of furniture hypermarkets in Russia. In an exclusive interview with our TV channel, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade, Viktor Yevtoukhov, did not rule out that the vacant space could be occupied by the first tenants in the near future. Well, Ikea had only three furniture factories. We have much more furniture production, they competed well. including with Ikea. and these three Ikea factories were sold, they were acquired by two Russian specialized companies, moreover, these productions were stopped, they quickly launched these productions, now they produce their own products on them, as for the big one, a deal has also been made to sell it now, of course, there is a rental business, almost all the premises were rented out and those premises that were directly occupied by IKEA itself were vacated, I think that in the near future the new owner will fill them with new tenants, will offer some... special conditions, I think, and these complexes will also be filled. Creating new opportunities for Russian brands to get on the shelf, as well as improving the quality of services and meeting growing demand. Such priorities were outlined in an official comment by the Deputy Head of the Gazprombank Department, Tigran Khachituryan. We do not plan to rebrand the Mega shopping center chain. For us, this is a long-term strategic investment, our priority task will be to develop the brand, develop a professional team. and multiplying the traditions of the mega. In the near future, we will visit all 14 sites to get acquainted, communicate and discuss further development plans. As for the areas that are being freed up after the departure of a number of foreign brands, Mega will continue to work on filling the areas in accordance with the needs and expectations of consumers. The deal included 14 shopping centers in Moscow, Moscow Region, as well as Leningrad, Omsk, Rostov, Nado, Samara, Adegeya, Kazan, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk and Nizhny Novgorod. The total area is 2.3 million km. The amount of the transaction is not disclosed, however, experts. have already given their approximate estimate, they call the acquisition profitable, those assumptions that analysts are now making, they are based either retrospectively on how much these objects could cost under normal conditions, or, accordingly, again based on operating, financial indicators, various calculations are made, now the figures sound from two to 3 billion US dollars, the value of these assets, this estimate is quite fair, according to the results of 2020, the first year, the Swedish Inco Cententers ranked fifth in the ranking of the largest Russian rentiers of the Forbes magazine. Rental income was estimated at $350 million. The first IKEA hypermarket appeared in Russia back in 2000, 2 years later the first mega opened. In 2022, the Inca company closed the IKEA store, in early 2023 it became known about the search for a buyer for the retail space. Now analysts share expectations that will change after the "change of owner, for tenants, often nothing may change, because the contracts are long-term and this is one of the key features and benefits of working with the Mega shopping center, since the conditions are clear, understandable, predictable for a long period, and accordingly, the change of owner is unlikely to entail a change in financial conditions, and since Gazprombank is buying this asset, including for obtaining understandable and predictable profits in future results, then from its point of view it is also profitable to leave everything as it is, because this asset generates a stable cash flow. Experts recall that Gazprombank has experience in investing in real estate. As for the deal with Inca Cententers, it has already been called the largest on the market this year. Sergei Alexander, the social fund compensates part of the costs of enterprises for the prevention of accidents and occupational diseases, I wonder what businesses spend this money on, and what measures are most popular? Indeed. The Russian Fund is an insurer for insurance against occupational diseases and accidents, and pays special attention to the prevention of diseases, because it is indeed much easier to detect a disease in the early stages than to treat it for a long time. And there is such a measure in the legislation, preventive measures, aimed precisely at prevention. And the fund allocates money that is financed from the funds of insurance contributions, to businesses, employers, and they use them for the benefit of their employees, for the benefit of our citizens. and the first, probably the most important, such a measure, you know, an event, where money is directed, is the acquisition of personal protective equipment, well, we say masks, it can be special clothing, shoes, everything that makes a person's life at the enterprise more convenient and, most importantly, safer, and this area accounts for more than 30% of the total amount of funds, last year, for example, 6.7 billion rubles were spent and 2.7 million people received such protective equipment, the second important area is medical examinations, periodic examinations, what is precisely called prevention, during which some primary signs of an occupational disease are detected, this is also a very important area, it ranks second among the financing of these measures, we had 4.5 million rubles for these purposes last year, and 2.7 million people received such, respectively, and such an examination, here is the third - sanatorium treatment, sanatorium treatment... pre-retirees, working, working pensioners and working, who work in harmful, dangerous working conditions. Last year, 45,000 citizens and 2.3 million rubles were spent on these purposes, respectively, that is, in principle, all measures are in demand and we see their effectiveness, please tell us, what are the main professions that are, so to speak, the audience of the social fund, that is, who most often receive occupational injuries and occupational diseases? in general, I can say that, of course, we insure the entire circle of citizens who work at enterprises, and I cannot say that someone stands out especially, for the simple reason that, according to our data, according to our statistics, for recent times... professions, yes, that is, this is a fairly large number of professions, this can happen to anyone, but of course I would not want this, it is important to know what aspect, that if we analyze what is happening, then of course, there are professions where such cases occur more often, for example, over the past year - this is the transport industry and construction, yes, I can say that in general, the number of accidents is decreasing, and we are observing this dynamics, that is, the cases are not massive, last year in the country we had such cases... there were 34,000, respectively, if we are talking about occupational diseases, then there is also a tendency for them to decrease, and there were 4,000 such cases last year. such industries as metallurgy, and the coal industry stand out there, where people more often get sick with diseases associated with their work activity, here, again, prevention comes to the rescue, I repeat, such cases are becoming less frequent, we are very happy about this. And what else, besides financing preventive measures, is there in your fund's arsenal to protect the health of workers? Yes, you are right, preventive measures are the main means now, what we are doing, but as it seems to me, this year there is a very important pilot project, on the basis of a government decree, which is just aimed at prevention, at the early detection of cases of occupational diseases, well, what does it consist of, an employee, a worker, simply undergoes a medical examination, if, accordingly, early signs of any disease are detected in him, he is sent to our, respectively, rehabilitation centers, centers of the social fund, where he undergoes a full course of treatment and rehabilitation and, based on the results of this event, we already evaluate how much his health has improved, how much it was possible to cope with these primary signs, this is such a pilot project this year, and we suggested that all the largest insurers, employers, join it, I can say that we have found understanding of the whole... 33 large insurers participate in this project with us, I will name Russian Railways, and the Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant, I will also name Magnitka, for this a huge thank you, they work with us together, you know, we can already sum up the first results, quite a lot of time has passed, yes, this year, and there are 9 months, they please us, and according to our data, about six 69%, of those who underwent such rehabilitation, let's say, yes, in the early stages, feel an improvement in their health and, accordingly, the signs of the disease are leveled out. with the reasons, to eliminate them, to identify them in the early stages, what is happening to a person, so that it would be easier to help him later, this is very important, so we pay great attention to the project, at the end of the year we will sum up its results and will offer the ministry, that is, this network, as I understand it, is supposed to be developed further, it is interesting how these rehabilitation centers differ, say, from ordinary sanatoriums? yes, the network of our rehabilitation centers is quite wide, we have 12 rehabilitation centers in Vedenie, these rehabilitation centers deal specifically with victims of occupational diseases and accidents, they are located in different regions of our country, we have such rehabilitation centers in Siberia, in Kemerovo, a very large rehabilitation center, since this is a coal industry. Yes, there are such rehabilitation centers, where the climate is good, this is the south of our country, for example, Astrakhan, Volgograd, Anapa, the middle lane is also represented, and how it differs from sanatoriums, well, here it is quite simple, a simple answer, this is a center that is precisely rehabilitation, moreover, both medical and social, of a person who was injured at work, and we have eastern technological equipment there, which allows us to pay attention to those issues that волнуют человека, опорно двигательной системы, например, да или слух. this of course helps a person to feel better after that, we will develop these centers, now, together with the Ministry of Labor, we are preparing a concept for the development of centers until the thirtieth year, and I am sure that we will be able to make them very modern, such rehabilitation centers, which will allow people to feel much better after being there, this is also a priority task for us, thank you, thank you, I will soon be 18 years old, I want to participate in the life of my country, no, I have to go, I have to figure out what's going on, with these words he left, call an ambulance here, someone, mom, I'm not there, and he himself, together with the people, went to the station, unfasten yourself, you need to bury him, what kind of civil war is there, it was a mass execution, I was watching TV, and I saw Natalia near the White House in a jumpsuit, and what kind of conversation would it be, you would have kept her, I would have done everything so that she was not there, the most sincere and honest guys, well, where did they get this... to protect the weak, they protected, I was 13 then, ran away from home, got into the barricades, to see and remember everything myself. You rarely drive your own car, soon you will be able to save money on Asaga. From the second quarter of next year, short-term policies will appear on sale, with a validity period from one day to a quarter. In this issue of the instructions, we will tell you who will benefit from using such insurance. Now, according to the law, the OSAGO agreement is concluded for a year, within this period, the period of use is indicated from 3 months to a year. This general rule. there are two exceptions: when buying a car, you can buy insurance to get to the place of registration. It is issued for a maximum of 20 days. Or, if the car is registered in another country, then a temporary policy can be obtained for it, the period of stay in Russia. But for drivers who simply rarely used their cars, they had to pay immediately, for at least 3 months, although in fact they were on the roads much less. The main goal of short-term OSAGO policies is to increase. availability of policies for car enthusiasts who use their car from time to time, and short-term policies, Asaga will be useful for pensioners who go to the dacha, for example, only in the summer or young drivers who are afraid to go on the road in bad weather, ice or heavy rain, thus the law, in no way will not restrict car enthusiasts, depending on the purpose of using their... car, anyone can take out a policy from one day to 3 months. The new policy format is intended primarily for taxi drivers, they do not have to buy expensive annual insurance, you can pay only for the time that they are going to spend on transportation. Last year, only 170,000 cars were insured as taxis, while in fact in the country, according to the analytical center under the government, there are 400,000 of them. Many so. insure such cars as cars for personal use, and then, if they get into an accident, and this happens seven times more often than for ordinary drivers, then they receive a regressive claim from the insurance company, since they incorrectly issued the insurance, that is, the insurance company demands to return the money that it paid to the victims, taking into account all the risks, it will be more profitable for taxi drivers to buy a short-term policy, this is better than paying hundreds of thousands of rubles to the insurance company for repairs... cars, also a short-term policy will come in handy if you are going to sell your car soon, buying insurance for 3 months or more is a waste of money, however, it should be understood that short-term insurance in terms of a day or a month will be more expensive than long-term insurance, how much will the Central Bank establish, which by the end of this year will issue instructions on coefficients for insurance companies? Each insurance company will determine the coefficient for monthly policies independently, it is very difficult to predict the exact figure yet, of course, it will be more expensive than buying an annual policy, for example, our current coefficients for a three-month policy are about 50% of the annual premium, well, accordingly, a monthly policy, it will not be equal to 1.2 from the year, it will probably be somewhere around 20, probably 30% of the annual premium. Therefore, it will be beneficial only for those clients who and rarely use their car, and not for those who buy 12 policies for one month, this, of course, will not be profitable. Another point, short-term insurance will work three days after the conclusion of the contract, that is, it will not be possible to get into an accident immediately and buy a valid policy for that ill-fated day from the phone. In this case, it must be said that some features.... the new law, the new edition, or rather the law on Asaga does not provide for this, this issue is generally ignored, that is, apparently, this will be the usual mechanism, the same one that is in effect now, just at the heart will not be an annual insurance policy, this is this short-term policy under a short-term contract, otherwise everything should remain as it was, that is, contacting your insurance company, well, and so on. Let's repeat the main thing, next year it will be possible to conclude a short-term OSAGO agreement with a period from one day to 3 months, they will be useful for taxi drivers, those who rarely use a car, or in the case when you are going to sell a car. Day by day, it will not be possible to issue a valid short-term insurance. There are still questions, do you want to know more about how to грамотно use the services of insurance companies, write to us in Telegram, send your suggestions, and we will tell you about everything in the next issues of our instructions. Contract servicemen. regional support measures, veteran status combat operations, exemption from land tax, compensation for payment of housing and communal services, vouchers to a sanatorium. Leave twice a year and other benefits from the state. Everything is fair here. Serve under contract. I go into the shower, a shell hits the office, you and Rudskoy made some mistakes in the type, of course, they did, what would you have done differently, we could have won, those who went against a peaceful city and unleashed a bloody massacre, criminals, then there was such an option, it was not a parliamentary one, not a popular one, but a tough one, it was not necessary to shoot from tanks, the sight was, of course. to put it mildly, bad. It was from here that the very broadcast was conducted, which the whole world watched. The fact is that each side believed that the other side was the instigator. I myself took the oath in those days. Even after 30 years, I believe that I do not know the whole truth about the events of the ninety-third year. Russia is переживает the most difficult political crisis in post-Soviet history. which will end in bloodshed, we will take on this case, it... will be an honest detective.
