End of voting, vote counting has begun here, of course, in the presence of observers , as you can see, journalists may also be here, counting is a complex procedure, it has several stages, first the lists are checked, the total number of voters is counted, then the unused ballots are recounted, the lower left corner of each is cut off. In further calculations, such forms are not taken into account; they are packaged and sealed separately. Then the ballots from the portable voting boxes are recounted, having first checked the seal on them. Such boxes were brought for example, for those who cannot come for health reasons, they came to such people s homes, only then the boxes that were located at the polling station are opened, the ballots from there are sorted, separating the invalid ones, where there are no marks opposite the candidates or more than one mark, then, in fact , the calculation itself takes place from.

At first glance it seems that at least a third of the ballots have already been counted, we will soon find out the results, every voting day a special sealed bag was poured into the ballot box, then these bags were put here in a metal safe, where they were stored, until this evening, as you can see, the safe was sealed, they hid it right in front of our eyes, observers were watching everything very carefully, they are now working here at the polling station, so on the table are already absolutely all the ballots for all these days here to vote for those who did your choice for the domun, by the way there were not so many of them, the turnout in. In st. Petersburg was about 70 . Our site is located in the palace of youth creativity, this is the very center of the city, next to nevsky prospekt, about one and a half kilometers, here is the palace square, maybe thats why since because of its location it has caused such popularity among foreign journalists, well, before us, reporters from tv channels in azerbaijan and the United Arab Emirates went on live broadcasts from here, and just a few words about our commission, these are, of course, experienced people, this is no longer for them the first president ial election, they promise that in just a couple of hours it will be completely over, but however. There is no rush here, we have the whole night ahead of us. Catherine. Petersburg. And now kazan is our turn. He works at the polling station there Svetlana Kostina. Svetlana, good evening.

We will, of course, return to the president ial elections and how the results are summed up more than once in our program; thats Something Else well talk about today. Ukrainian attacks on the Belgorod RegionUnited People against a common threat. Who did they decide to intimidate . Russian people, multinational people of russia. This was not sure, it would never happen. All attacks by saboteurs have been repulsed, which kiev is trying to hide behind terrorist attacks. They will not escape retribution; our military systematically destroys foreigners. After youve been on the front line to ukraine, iraq and afghanistan seem unusually simple. Macron should remember this, who does not rule out sending troops to ukraine out of passion under the taurus of the bundestag against the supply of missiles to kiev. New elite. You and the people with whom you served are the most important, most powerful weapon. And a new growth trajectory as a nation. Projects will help the economy, left to stay, satire implies anger, i am a good person, alexander shirvint, actor, director, teacher, brilliant storyteller, has passed away, falling into the abyss, what is happening with boeing, would you fly on this, no, would you not fly on this . No. The reasons for the steep dive of the american aircraft giant. Attempts by the kiev regime to prevent russians living on the border from exercising their right to vote were unsuccessful. Example belgorod. Over the past few days , ukrainian terrorists have been hitting the city and surrounding areas with particular frenzy, using rocket artillery on residential buildings and civilian vehicles. There are dead and wounded, including children. But belgorod residents are intimidated. It didnt work out, their courage, resilience unity is admirable. Dalmira beryukova, who has been working in the region all week, was convinced of this herself. The kiev regime is disseminating information that it is striking military infrastructure, but as we see, there are no military installations here, only peaceful houses, residential buildings where people are sleeping. On sunday morning belgorod shook again, a shell fell on a house, a fire started , a tenthgrader became a victim of shelling from the ukrainian side. Shellshocked father. Was here, we will support each other, yes , were not going anywhere from here, weve all been friends since childhood, i heard that the explosions were much louder than usual, a shell flew into sashas house, the impact was, of course, very strong, very loud, something fell on the roof , some fragments. At 14 00 another rocket attack killed a passerby. Here, near the volga, a man lies dead, his grandfather. But the enemy failed to break the spirit of the belgorod residents with all these barbaric attacks. Nineyearold zhenya loves to play the guitar and draw. I had to temporarily move from my home. The windows were blown out by the blast wave in time of shelling from the ukrainian side. The flash happened, i immediately covered angelina , it was with my back and. All the fragments flew at me , its just my dear sister, sister angelina is only 9 months old, the green on her hands reminds me of something terrible, the children received multiple injuries, but tragedy was avoided, the little hero will be awarded , im very worried about my children, i dont know what would have happened if it werent for zhenya, its no secret that the kiev regime is fighting against the defenseless for a long time, this week ukrainian militants unleashed. Real terror on the residents, v the siren has not stopped in the city for several days, there are signals in chats about the danger of missiles, terrorists are shooting packages of shells around the city, eight air targets were killed as the city approached, one of the shells landed in a private sector, what was left behind was a rather deep crater, in general everything around was damaged, the entire fence has been shattered, the windows have been broken, the houses opposite, utility workers are repairing the damage, also. There is information that highvoltage wires have been nailed down, targeted attacks on civilians, a car just exploded in front of me, just karau, okay, i ran, i helped people, my god, one of the shells hit a moving car, as you can see, it was all burned out, the driver, unfortunately, died. The shelling came from the direction of volchansk, this is the highway to shibekina, belgorod, they fired at a czechmade vampire from a multiple launch rocket system, here he is in the footage from one of the arrival points, he came under fire from. No, right now im just trying to get to the vote , to the polling station, our people are holding on, supporting each other, our the task is to hold on to each other, help everyone in an emergency, and not panic. And this is olga, she always carries a hemostatic tourniquet with her, like most belgorod residents, she has completed first aid courses. Olga is also sure that the shelling of belgorod specifically intensified the subelections. That this is what it is designed for, that people dont go, dont go out, intimidate, so that people leave, go somewhere, well, why leave, just to show that we are weak and up and left when they scared us, no , such, this will not happen, and of course, we trust our military, we help them, including, as soon as the sirens stopped, the missile threat was lifted, people began to come to the polling stations again, thats why we are citizens of our country. That is, despite the whole situation, we are obliged to vote, this is the future of our country, that is, the future of our children, of the entire generation, i am an artillery officer, so i dont care about these shell explosions, this is our country, so dont be afraid, come to children knew that they had to choose president , they didnt know the history of their country, but why be afraid, we are at home, we should be at home. According to the Belgorod Regional berkom, on the first day of voting alone , more than 60 of voters made their choice, including residents of temporary Accommodation Centers who were evacuated. From the shootings, elena molyukova from voluyki. Im very glad i voted. Is it important for you to vote . It is very important, i would like my grandchildren to live to my age, even older, so that they can see this life, breathe, live, work, love. On during the elections, the safety of voters is ensured, all polling stations were inspected by the Russian Guard, the police are on duty there, everything around is in cctv cameras, like here. There is a shelter nearby, here is footage from one of the areas, an air raid siren sounds, but there is no panic, everyone quickly and in an orderly manner descends into the shelter. Ilya came to the polling station with his younger brother and sister, showed them in practice how to vote, when i was little, i always went to the same polling station with my parents, watched how my parents voted vote, i waited, so to speak, for my coming of age to vote too. We choose our own future. Right like a block , to evaluate everything like that, to somehow solve everything, this is of course a difficult situation, not just even in the country, probably, the situation on the planet is now difficult, so for our country there should be such a human being, having lost several hundred militants on the border, kiev the regime has been taking revenge on civilians all week, here is the border grayvron, indiscriminate fire in the city, civilian cars were tracked down. Dropped an explosive the device is vile and vile, but this is exactly how terrorists feel their own powerlessness, and belgorod does not give up. Dalmira beryukova, sergey pelyaev, alexander klimov, maria mortanova, sergey parakofiev, channel one, belgorod. In its desire to destabilize the situation during the president ial elections , kiev did not limit itself to shelling. The ssu made a number of attempts to break through our border in the area of ​​the belgorod villages, nikhoteevka, spodoryushina and kozinka. There was an attack on the kursk village of tyotkino. Performers elite Ukrainian Special forces together with foreign ones mercenaries with the support of Armored Vehicles and artillery, but our armed forces , the fsb Border Guards saw them, waited and met them. As a result, hundreds of militants were killed, dozens of pieces of equipment were destroyed, and the russian border is still locked. About how zelensky sent his best warriors to certain death for several days in a row dmitry kulko. These shots eloquently show all the stupidity and cynicism. Zelenskys plan to invade our border areas. The field is littered with dozens of bodies of Ukrainian Special forces mercenaries. Someone is killed, someone is injured, thats it for the sake of some selfie from russian territory, which none of them took. Another group of saboteurs who have taken refuge in the kanava is covered by our lants. Only a few emerged from the suicidal meat grinder. The information and psychological operation with which the kiev regime wanted to intimidate our citizens during the president ial elections completely failed. It started at night 3 days before the voice. Terrorists tried to break through the border in several areas, one of the main goals was to reach the Regional Center of graiveron , Belgorod Region, near the village of odnarobovka the attack fizzled out before it even began. Our aerial reconnaissance discovered enemy attack aircraft on the way, they were hiding under carriages at the railway station, more than fifty were destroyed by airstrikes. The enemy sent more forces to the area of ​​the village of spodaryushino and suffered more senseless losses. The militants were divided into three groups, reinforced with Armored Vehicles, including western ones. Our factories are razing the first group of saboteurs to the ground, not allowing them to cross the borders. The second column of ten units of equipment tried to break through minefield, but mine clearing vehicles themselves are blown up by warheads, including czechmade equipment. The ukrainian command did not even try to help with demining the third group. Here are several tanks that did not have special trawls, but remained standing after hitting mines. A lot of lightly Armored Vehicles that were unloading infantry were destroyed. Runs away, the abandoned tank is destroyed by dropping just one grenade. Through the selfless actions of the russian military, all attacks by ukrainian terrorist groups reflected in the area of ​​​​the settlement of nikhoteevka, Belgorod Region. Air strikes from the Russian Aerospace forces and artillery from lancet Unmanned Aerial Vehicles destroyed 45 militants, two tanks and two armored personnel carriers. Our military and fsb Border Guards successfully repulsed four more attacks in the kursk region, but never. The enemy tried to concentrate on the other side of the border in ryzhovka, but when they saw footage of terrorists scattering around a Ukrainian Village under the blows of our artillery, they quickly changed their minds about making a breakthrough. The enemy today attempted to enter a populated area, but inflicted maximum fire damage on manpower, and the enemy was stopped at the very border. Ukrainian saboteurs, who barely escaped the border, still really wanted to make some noise on the internet, why . To die for a selfie, when you can make a production, for the performance they placed machine gunners on the street of a Ukrainian Village, the village is like a village, you cant tell the difference, we are fighting in tyotkino, the name of the village is further away, well move on a little later, the street is heavily shot at, residents of the real tyotkino, where life continues to flow as usual , they only laughed at ukrainian fakes, we are here, no one has captured us yet, everyone is alive and well, we are confident in the protection of our boys, who. A fake decree allegedly from the president of russia on the withdrawal of Russian Troops and recognition of the region temporarily lost, just a picture drawn in a photo editor. It has already reached the point that ukrainian sources began to publish videos with Ukrainian Armed forces equipment and the caption kursk now. But there is a sign on the road in ukrainian uvaga, that is, attention, road work, also filmed somewhere in square. In reality, there are burnt tanks of saboteurs and mountains of bodies with yellow armbands. Perhaps the most adventurous operation was the headquarters operation. Ukraine in the area of ​​the village of kazinka, Belgorod Region. A group of thirty saboteurs was dropped by mi8 helicopters a kilometer from the border, from where they set off on foot, with the same task as the previous suicide bombers, to survive for at least a couple of hours in a village in the old region of russia to film a video. Death is inevitable, because kiev spared no expense for this information attack trained special forces gurus of ukraine. Our fighters cut off their retreat, surrounded them, they settled in the house and were eventually destroyed by accurate shell hits. The operation is absolutely crazy, but the Ukrainian Special forces decided to repeat it today. This time the mi8 helicopter, flying towards kazinka, did not even have time to land. It was shot down in the sumy region, near the village of lukashovka, a kilometer from the border, our crew of the manportable antiaircraft Missile System worked perfectly. Vladimir putin discussed a series of repelled attacks in the border areas at meeting with members of the security council. Russian territory was destroyed during the suppression of an infiltration attempt by fifty militants. After such a defeat , the enemy switched to his usual terrorist tactics and began hitting peaceful neighborhoods, including with drones loaded with explosives. 35 Ukrainian Drones were shot down by our air Defense Systems just this night and this morning, about 95 of enemy missiles are destroyed by our air Defense Systems. Nevertheless, unfortunately, we have casualties among civilians citizens. All their families will certainly be provided with all the necessary help and support. These enemy attacks do not go unpunished. And here is the punishment for criminal actions from all points of view. The crew of the czech rszzvampire, which was preparing to shell belgorod that night, was discovered by special forces of the Russian Guard and transmitted the coordinates of the enemy. Immediately, a missile from the s400 complex hits an artillery installation and personnel. This is our enemy, cowards in uniform, attacking civilians, terrorists. And residents are confident that they will not escape retribution border villages, which, despite all the barbaric attacks, are coming these days. Only exposed them even more, and the operation of the guru of ukraine now has every chance of going down in textbooks as a great military stupidity. Dmitry kulkoy, vitaly zaitsev, channel one. Lets return to the preliminary Voting Results from the central Election Commission. After processing 28 of the protocols of precinct Election Commissions, Vladimir Putin is in the lead with a result of 87. 72 . In second place is the candidate from the communist party of the Russian FederationNikolai Kharitonov, with 3. 93 . On. Now you see a table on your screens, on to whom we just showed new data from the Election Commission center, now we are including alexey kruchinin, he works at the new people headquarters, one of the candidates is already there. For president vyacheslav davankov. Please, alexey, you have the floor, we are waiting for the latest information. Yes, yes, ekaterina , good evening, here at the headquarters of new people, of course, all attention, just like everywhere else, is focused on the latest data from the center of the Electoral Commission and right now, here we see, Vladislav Davankov has gone to the press, making his First Official statement, well come back to it a little later , ill note that davankov has been here since about 7 00 pm, to the headquarters, he came from. One city, smolensk, where he voted at the school where he studied, but we managed to talk with davankov even before closing of polling stations, i suggest you listen, all these 3 days our observers and volunteers have been working here at the central headquarters 24x7, we have the same headquarters in the regions, they collect information, if there are any violations, we have not yet identified any serious violations, well keep an eye on it the results will depend on how the counting will proceed, but we can now. Say that the turnout is indeed unprecedentedly high. Well , summing up the preliminary results of the race, davankov noted that it turned out to be, of course, interesting for him, after all, this is the first president ial campaign, but not easy. He held more than 200 meetings in 29 regions of the country and lost 12 kg during this time. Let me remind you that new people are the youngest russian political party, it was formed on march 1 , 2020, and before the current. Elections united with the rost party, this alliance positions itself as a platform for active, progressiveminded russians, mainly entrepreneurs, but largely on small mediumsized businesses, which davankov relied on during his election campaign, well, they are monitoring data from the central Election Commission, of course , party members, volunteers, observers and the president ial candidate himself, there will probably be more approaches, thank you very much, we. So, film crews from channel one are working at the headquarters of all four candidates, and now the numbers, cycle, which gives us, therefore, Vladimir Putin 87. 6 , Nikolai Kharitonov 3. 99 , Vladislav Davankov 3. 84 and Leonid Slutsky 3. 00 . Film crews from channel one work at the headquarters of all four candidates; ours is located at the central election headquarters of Vladimir Putin, which is located in the capitals gostiny dvor. Year, when he submitted documents to the central Election Commission for registration as a president ial candidate, he said that his goal was not to win these elections, his task, as he formulated, was to properly participate, well, today, assessing the work done, he said that he and his election headquarters coped with the task, the ldpr carried out a bright , confident, effective campaign, the unprecedented turnout indicates a special consolidation of society, russia is always in its history, it consolidates in moments of truth, the ldpr will continue work with people, will continue to develop and work on their program positions , and some statistics, the best result for the ldpr for the president. Elections was held by the founder of the party, vladimir zhirinovsky, in in 2008, he was then in third place, he received a little more than 9 of the vote, almost 7 Million People voted for him, well , lets see if the new party leader can ultimately surpass this result. Ekaterina, thank you, Anatoly Lazarev works at the ldpr election headquarters and tells us all the latest information that is flowing in at this hour. Our correspondent, konstantin panyushkin, is at the central election headquarters of Vladimir Putin, which is located in the capitals gostiny dvor, and he also joins us. Live broadcast. Konstantin, hello, what is the atmosphere in your place now . Ekaterina, good evening, we welcome you from the headquarters of Vladimir Putin , as evidenced by this huge banner behind me, here now, you know, the atmosphere is like never before, we have been working here one way or another for the last three months since then from the very moment when, on december 8, 2023, in the st. George hall of the grand kremlin palace, Vladimir Putin announced his decision to take part in the 2024 president ial elections, from that moment here in gostiny dvor , where the central headquarters of Vladimir Putin was actually located, everything happened, here Vladimir Putin met with volunteers, when it was time to count the collected signatures addressed to the nomination of Vladimir Putin, then he met with his proxies, here it was the message was announced at one time, but such an atmosphere as today has probably never been here before, we are now turning in that direction, right there behind this blue partition, where we weve been working for the past three months, actually, theres a lot of work going on there right now, no one is going anywhere, the headquarters is there now. There, like everywhere else, they monitor the numbers, but the exit poll numbers, the turnout numbers, there is something to monitor here, well, this space around us is such an improvised press center and the atmosphere here, you know, resembles something similar, we observed here when there was a Big Press Conference of Vladimir Putin, absolutely all tv channels in russia, absolutely all the main newspapers, magazines, radio, television, everything here, they say, its easier to say who is not, its easier to say who is here, in fact, there are absolutely all foreigners, i want to especially focus on this, because there are also friendly coppers here. And unfriendly, as they say, from the countries, the appters agency, and the turkish nadalu , and the chinese cctv, the Largest Agency of the peoples republic of china xinhua, and we even saw our colleagues from the tv channel, from the nbc tv channel, the usa siemmons is also located somewhere here. Why are we actually gathered here today, well , naturally, everyone is at Vladimir Putins headquarters they are counting on the fact that the candidate of this headquarters , Vladimir Putin, will assess the threeday elections that took place, will assess the preliminary Voting Results, will assess the turnout, but. For now, while we spent several hours today, well, in fact, the whole day from the very morning with proxies here at the headquarters of the polling stations, whose authorized representatives dispersed throughout the country , including moscow, this is what our report is about so far. To School Number 1517 in the west of moscow, on the last day of elections, trusted Vladimir Putins face, Oleg Gazmanov goes to vote. Captain, captain. It was already clear, but now that there are polling stations. The guys go to ovdeevka with humanitarian convoys, yes, that is , people there have a variety of needs from gasoline generators to fruits, they are always accompanied by a request on absolutely every trip, and it is imperative that the sorna polling station come here, it is mandatory, that is, people want to vote, want to vote for the president , express their civic position, and i am sure, i know that our the Regional Office in belgarad is now despite the shelling. Despite everything that is happening in our new regions , there is an unprecedented turnout, people go to those polling stations where there have already been arrivals, that is , it is impossible to break the russian people, people rallied, they go to the polling stations and say we cannot be scared, we cannot be broken, we we will definitely vote, because this is our country, our president. Two more from the list of proxies, violinist pyotr lunster, together with grandmaster sergei koryakin, decided to vote in the dpr. They saw with their own eyes how residents avdiivka voted at a polling station in the basement of one. From dilapidated houses, these are our most faithful people, and these are the people who were waiting for us the most, because it is one thing to wait for elections and vote for the president here in moscow, in this stunning beautiful city, but it is a completely different thing to live 2 years in waiting the russian army, and which for objective reasons could not simply get through to them all this time, finally it came, what emotions do people have, this happiness and this joy, and this calmness, you know, in Nikolai Tsiskaridze worked in sirius today, and she voted there. We will do this in such a way that the maximum quality of the resulting material is absorbed, so that we get people who are ready to take the most serious positions in a variety of government bodies. But still, the easiest way to find Vladimir Putins trusted representatives today was at polling stations. On the third day of the elections , igor butman and yaroslav dronov, better known as shoman, voted, ready to doubt their support. Here are the numbers again that we get in the mode real time from the central Election Commission, where in these minutes all the data about how the voting went, how people voted, what choice they made flows in. So, Vladimir Putin is gaining 87. 48 of the votes at this moment, the numbers will change. Nikolay kharitonov 4. 04 of the votes, Vladislav Davankov 3. 88 of the votes and Leonid Slutsky 3. 03 0. 3 of the votes. And now we are turning on the election headquarters of president ial candidate Nikolai Kharitonov, this is the communist party of the Russian Federation, our correspondent Anna Kurbatova works there. Now she will talk about what is happening at the headquarters of the communist party of the Russian Federation, what kind of mood prevails there. Anna, please give me the floor. Yes, ekaterina, good evening, here today, too, of course , they are still discussing the preliminary results of the elections, right now there is a press conference, Gennady Andreevich zyuganov, the head of the communist party, president ial candidate Nikolai Kharitonov is sitting next to us, so we already have the first his statement after the polls closed. Very actively, our program was greeted everywhere with goodwill, they believed, hoped and continue to believe, so no matter who wins the elections, literally tomorrow and the day after tomorrow the attention of the newly elected president , and the government, and the governors of the regions of all our russia will be drawn to our program with battles and not just all these years, but it must be said that the cpr. All election days, right from here, the headquarters monitored the progress of the voting, there were Video Surveillance points in each region , the party sent , as stated, more than 70 thousand members of the commission with a decisive vote, about 50 thousand observers to polling stations throughout the country, and today they are conducting parallel vote counting, all night the communists will compare their data with the data that came from the central Election Commission, well, its ongoing right now. Thank you, our correspondent, Anna Kurbatova, she is at the headquarters of the communist party of the Russian Federation and transmits all the latest information that is flowing to Nikolai Kharitonovs headquarters at this moment.

It was clear that. There is a coup in the state, there is no power in the country, such a good situation has been created in which it is possible was to make a decision in accordance with the will of the people. Aksyonov stood here and said, guys, we need to block off all strategically important objects. We sent a letter to the leadership of the Russian Federation; we understood that we ourselves would not be able to control the situation. We need our troops to arrive faster. The transfer of crimea to ukraine is a historical oversight that was corrected by a referendum, more than 96 were in favor of reunification with russia, we are in russia, guys, on the tenth anniversary of the reunification of crimea with russia, crimea, as it was, premiere, watch after the program time. Central bank of ukraine. If we are not satisfied with something, we will do what we think is necessary. A symphony of five russian empires opened up to me, when the russian state. Emerging from oblivion, achieved power and flowering , and then fell into the abyss of oblivion, after the death of total darkness, we are resurrected again and move along the paths of improvement, i , along with the whole country, rejoiced, finally ours have gone, we are breaking, it was a dazzling flash, spiritual explosion that me, turned a prose writer into a poet, in blood, in smoke, in fires, among. Russia attacks, regaining its place in history. Premiere, alexander prokhanov. Confession, tomorrow first. Now for me it is coming to my ultimate goal, never stopping, always going towards my dream and never seeing. There is no limit, when everyone is alive and well and there is this inner peace, when i get very high marks and are given medals, this is an obligatory love for your child, otherwise it will just be watching the child, and not to be a father, since the grandmother is a teacher, she can reincarnate to be a snow queen today, a hedgehog grandmother tomorrow, whoever you want, even the settled pechkin, live happy . Live in the moment, everything will be fine, there will be peace in your soul, so that every person achieves what they want and so that dreams are forgotten. 10 years ago, the dream of millions of crimeans came true, the peninsula was reunited with russia, i have been living in crimea since 1960, when we transferred to russia, our poverty ended. Our people really came, for 10 years now i i live in this state of euphoria. The heart of crimea is open to everyone. People from all regions of russia began to come to the peninsula. The crimean bridge was completed and opened, an airport was built. Roads, hospitals, and kindergartens appeared in crimea. Delight. I stopped seeing fields that were empty, that is, everything was in use. Hello my vines. They are alive, absolutely. An incomprehensible phrase, what is our crimea, and what else . On the tenth anniversary of the reunification of crimea with russia, the premiere of the documentary series will be on the first tomorrow. This is a special edition of the program time and we continue. Preliminary Voting Results, which. We receive in these seconds from the center of the Electoral Commission and they are as follows Vladimir Putin gains 87. 44 . Nikolai kharitonov had 4. 06 , Vladislav Dvankov had 3. 89 and Leonid Slutsky received 3. 04 of the votes. Now lets return to the special operation; data from exposed foreign mercenaries appears regularly in the ministry of defense reports. And just the day before , the tas agency cited its sources. Reported the liquidation in odessa of at least hundreds of socalled soldiers of fortune, although it should rather be said soldier of failure, telegram channels complements the highprecision strike on the former sanatorium mriya was carried out by missiles of the iskander complex, be that as it may, everyone who came for money to kill our soldiers has only one destiny, unless they come to their senses, they will not run home before its too late, because the dead dont care about money not needed. Ivan the good about crime punishment. Five business trips to iraq, afghanistan, mali, ukraine. In the fall of twentytwo, drunken american benjamin reed, he benjamin velcro, spoke about the murder of a russian serviceman. We cut off his tendon and made him swim, to see how he would swim without tendons. The mercenary sobered up, was afraid of the consequences, fled from ukraine, and began to deny participation in the murder and turn in the counterfeiters. One of them is the commander of the englishspeaking militant unit the chosen company. If they couldnt determine who was in front of us , ukrainian or russian, just shoot him, whether he was wounded or not . On july 29 last year, as we were about to enter a trench, aliris unit was covered by our fire in eastern ukraine, the official pentagon publication then reported the death of two Us Army Veterans as a result of a drone attack, why did darida velcro get caught . Mercenaries from georgia tortured and killed russian soldiers on camera. A year later , a missile from the iskander operationaltactical complex flew into the location of the militants of the socalled georgian legion. According to our ministry of defense , up to 60 mercenaries were killed, including those involved in those brutal murders. Message about the liquidation of militants in kiev. Declared russian propaganda, a common tactic, just remember the strike on a gathering of foreign mercenaries in kramatorsk in june last year, how many accusations were made then, they say they hit a pizzeria where there were only civilians, jan frank tartarici, a retired us army copal, he voluntarily joined the foreign legion 15 months ago, spending most of his time on the front line , the same pizzaria is another former american marine, christiana zelindon. Well, if you managed to return before. Its not a fact that you escaped. On march 10, it became known about the suicide of the british mercenary harry greg, the telegraph publication reports young the briton went to the country after former Prime Minister list said that anyone who did so would join the fight for democracy. The greek visited ukraine three times, left after having to pack a friend into a plastic body bag, returned to the uk and ended his battle for democracy in a loop. Well, here are the bodies of my comrades. Liquidated in the zaporozhye direction, recruiters of the kiev regime are actively taking advantage of financial problems in latin american countries. Ukrainian propaganda shows one of the Training Camps in colombia. A professional colombian soldier who serves for 6 years earns no more than 600, given the fact that he spends 24 hours in the jungle, while the same soldier in ukraine receives 3400 a month, if they are lucky, for this money they owe commit. Certain actions associated with being on the front line of defense, performing certain actions there at a ratio of 4 2, that is, four days are there, two are on the second line defense in fact, the expert says, being on the first line is then simply not confirmed, and this is how kiev is saved. Russian pranksters conducted their interviews for mercenaries who appeared on the side of the Ukrainian Armed forces as part of the socalled international legion, they confirm noncompliance with the ukrainian one. They always delayed our salaries, our salaries were never correct, a lot of guys leave, uhhuh, there is no morale, not everyone manages to leave. According to the Russian Ministry of defense, from february 24, 2022 to ukraine 13,387 foreign mercenaries arrived, by this time almost 6,000 had been eliminated. Attacks on militant bases are carried out from the very beginning. Well, of course, with the permission of the ministry of defense of the polish Security Services, because so many polish volunteers, so to speak, in quotes, cannot travel across the polish border to ukraine, of course, they are trained at polish training grounds. Hello, this is just the leadership of one of the Training Centers in poland, the European Security academy, also known as the mercenary academy. Again our pranksters distinguished themselves. Relations with the polish government, i can say without a shadow of a doubt, are really good , as far as we know, for poland it is a great pleasure and honor to help ukraine fight for freedom, oh, you have to pay for this pleasure, half of the almost 3. 00 polish mercenaries have been eliminated, these the words would go straight into the ears of emmanue macron. This war is much more difficult than in iraq and afghanistan. After youve been on the line. Before the conference in paris, after which macron announced that sending troops would no longer excluded, the fact that military experts from nato countries are working in ukraine is no secret, this was once again confirmed by a published conversation between bundeswehr generals, but still. Escalations, interventionists, we treat this the same way as regular troops, we will treat it at a completely different level, even if they will appear on the territory of ukraine, they understand this, so i dont think that everything here is rushing so headon, but, but we are ready for this, i have said many times, for us it is a matter of life and death, but for them, for them it is a matter of improving your tactical position. In general in the situation in in the world, well in europe in particular, maintaining your status, your status among your allies, this is also important, but not as much as for us. And again news about the destruction of foreign mercenaries, alain deraspe, a professional military man from canada, a militant of the socalled norman brigade of the international legion. On february 27, he was liquidated on the right side of the dnieper. And this guy is a motorcycle lover. Joshua marueli, a neonazi, originally from the german saari brukin, on social networks you can find a user with the same name hitler on his profile picture. Marueli reported on ukraine took the call sign frit, was liquidated on march 13, like echo in 1943. Another militant, one of the leaders of the french neonazis, cesar azhar. Despite recent reports of his destruction, he is still alive. Is he, too, in macrons opinion, a fighter for democracy for the french president , however, a completely different question is now tormenting him. If russia wins this. For their independence and true sovereignty, they associate with their aspirations for their own independent development, but this is aggravated by the fact that in the western elites, in western elites have a very strong desire to freeze the existing situation, which is unfair, uh. Given the state of affairs in international affairs, they have been accustomed for centuries to fill their bellies with human flesh and their pockets with money, but they must understand that the vampires point ends. Jacques augard, the former commander of the French Special forces group in kosovo, gave this assessment of the course of hostilities in ukraine on the radio. I believe that from a rational point of view, in military terms, this war is practically over, that is, russia has almost achieved all its goals in places, with the possible exception of odessa. As tas reports, citing sources in the security forces, on friday, just in odessa, a large group of foreign mercenaries was destroyed as a result of a missile attack on the riya sanatorium. The figures are given about 100 militants were killed, more than a hundred were wounded. Ukrainian sources also confirm the liquidation of two highranking ukrainian officers, the commander of the tsunami regiment, and the assault brigade. People of the visiting deputy chief of the Regional Police abramenko, who served in the same regiment. Tsunami, a Paramilitary Police unit that previously took part in hostilities in the artyomovsk area. It is reported that among the killed mercenaries there were also french. After macrons interview, in which he said that russia supposedly cannot be allowed to win, colonel agar reposted a picture of the french president in childrens pajamas. Soviet militaryindustrial power, weakened in 2000, has today been restored by the Russian Federation. But what about france . Paradoxically, macron, who does not rule out sending troops to ukraine, this week, he himself admitted. We do not have a Defense Industry that is equipped for High Performance warfare, despite requests from manufacturers to adopt a war economy and produce more, faster. On friday , a meeting was held in berlin in the format of the so called weimore triangle with the participation of the president. We will use the proceeds from russian assets frozen in europe to financially support arms purchases for ukraine. For all the scandalousness of such a statement, this is absolutely not what what was expected from scholze in kyiv. The vote under tauros in the bundestag failed, the Ruling Coalition was undermined, and the opposition in the form of the christian democrats failed. There was secret information announced at a closed briefing for members of the parliamentary defense committee. Allegedly, to process data on taurus targets, specific equipment is needed, for which there is no replacement, and if it is transferred to kiev, the bundesfer will find itself with nothing, but thats not all. The leader of the social democratic faction, scholz , touched on a taboo topic from the rostrum of the bundestag. Is it time not only to talk about how to handle the conflict, but to think about how to freeze and later end it . The social democrats, who have significantly lost Popular Support over the past 2 years, may well feign interest in peace negotiations in order to attract voters who are afraid of the possibility of the conflict escalating. According to surveys, 61 of residents. And germany are against the supply of taurus missiles to kiev. A lot has changed since 22, even the ukrainian propaganda of that period, which frightened the germans with computer animation, with allegedly launching a missile strike on the center of berlin begins to work against the kiev regime. Initially, the video was supposed to evoke sympathy for the ukrainians and thus provide support for zelenskys actions, but now they are also used to illustrate posts on social networks about the consequences of taurus deliveries. What if kiev strikes russian targets and arrives . To the germans. The head of the ministry of health in germany, a fellow party member of scholz, criticizes militant journalists. Some journalists and hardliners, when the first missiles fall on berlin, as soon as possible would leave the country. Previously, the minister called for preparing the countrys Healthcare System for military conflicts. Ivan the good, dmitry volkov, lyubov dmitrieva, natalya litovka, sergey chevelo, channel one. So, we return to the russian president ial elections and report preliminary Voting Results from the izber center. So, after processing almost 60, 41 of ballots, percent of protocols, uchesk Election Commissions , Vladimir Putin is in the lead, he has 87. 49 of the votes, Nikolai Kharitonov has 4. 3, Vladislav Davankov has 3. 99, and Leonid Slutsky gets 3. 08 votes. Russia has never refused dialogue. In ukraine from searching for a peaceful solution to the conflict, but it wont be possible to lead us for us; the wests credit of trust has long been exhausted. Vladimir putin clearly placed the emphasis in a long interview with our colleague, the general director of the russian agency, today dmitry kiselyov. The russian leader knows better than anyone else that we are confronted by a sophisticated enemy who is playing for the long haul; in kiev there are only temporary workers and executors. We remember how in russia they said how lucky some people are but in this level, what it was. Full, drunk and nose covered in tobacco, but with such people its easier, it s full, drunk, that is, full, drunk, nose covered in tobacco, because we use snuff, now nose is covered in cocaine, yes, well, it doesnt matter, its easier with such people , with intelligent builds, they are more dangerous because they influence the consciousness of society, including ours, they will throw out all sorts of, uh, their wishlist under the guise of carrots for us, are we ready for negotiations . Yes, we are ready, but only not ready for negotiations that are not based on some kind of wishes, after the application psychotopic drugs, which are based on. And clearly understand for yourself that this is not a pause that the enemy wants to take for rearmament, but this is a serious conversation with security guarantees for the Russian Federation. The security of the country is guaranteed by soldiers of the Russian Armed forces, here are the latest data on the army a group of troops of the east liberated the village of peaceful in the zaporozhye region, it is located. Between the cities walk the field and orekhov, which is still under the control of kiev. In addition, our aviation, artillery and Missile Forces hit the Test Assembly sites without crew boats, a temporary deployment point for batteries of the german irist air defense complex in the odessa region, in chernigov ts, where drones are assembled. Further away from those who help aviation hit enemy targets. Highrisk combat work, forward air controller, abbreviated as pan. These are specialized specialists with the highest level of training who are engaged in reconnaissance on the ground and provide pilots with accurate rear sights. All this is under the noses of the militants, report by evgeny lyamin. By the way, when i go to work, i often remember technical works. From one famous movie, i i learned that i have a huge family , a path, and a forest, poly, every spikelet, his specialty is an advanced aviation gunner, collects information about the enemy, interacting with infantry, reconnaissance, coordinates targets for airstrikes, as you hear, you understand, im on you five, i heard you, right, great, yes, i understand , were working, the groups aircraft controllers. The center is checking communications, looking around, there is the sector in which aviation will operate, the coordinates are known, at this time the propellers have already started turning at the airfield, attack pilots helicopters the k52s are ready to take off. Our main work here is already on the safety of the crews, we carry them out visually, from the moment of entry into combat until the moment of return, and after the attack, because at the moment of the attack the crews are not as protected as possible from enemy manpads. At any moment we must tell them on the air to perform a maneuver, evade, or shoot heat traps. A minute of waiting, the drone detector periodically beeps, the main work has not yet begun, but under no circumstances should you relax. No, this is a way out, yes, it may come, and maybe it will mortar fiftyfifth, one and a half minutes before work. And here it is in the sky. Helicopters appear, go into combat, the most intense minute, the countdown has begun, 7,100, 7, 6,900, 6800. 85 the roll is great, the roll is great, they worked, they hit the target, yes they did, thanks for the work, with oils, guys, its unclear , our reconnaissance drones in the sky, footage of this airstrike, did they work . In the army we worked on the accumulation of infantry and light Armored Vehicles for the crews, we are the eyes and ears, we are the ones who are not yet suitable for work, we analyze the front line, we allow them to work, we prohibit, if suddenly our infantry advances further and the front line moves, so that an incident does not happen on the ground, we prohibit work, or redirect them to another target, the pilots , having worked, set a course for the airfield, we must leave and. The workers are constantly changing positions, then the same work is already done with attack aircraft, and so every day, at the risk of life in the avdiivka direction, our attack troops are constantly supported from the air. Our aviation is the best, the best in the world, our aviation works perfectly, as a team, harmoniously, in some Populated Areas points in houses, a large crowd of people , military personnel of the armed forces, to simply go in and take it, that would have happened. With heavy weapons, so the aviation worked first, thereby allowing us to go forward, and, accordingly, then they began to work, well, already. The sky sometimes seems crowded. Fpv drones, reconnaissance of our opponents, real battles happen. For example, our Intelligence Officers from the Central Military district, while studying enemy positions from the air, noticed the socalled bobaiga, a large agricultural drone that the apu is used to drop mines, including antitank mines, with the understanding that the device. The enemy took a course towards our fighters , the uav operator is going to ram, here is footage of how our Drone Operators at night discovered and tracked down the enemy during rotation, several people gathered in one place, the drone hits right under their feet, earlier at night it was possible to move more less safe, there werent many drones with night vision cameras, today everything has changed, different modes, different speeds, fpv operators drones say that the first 50 flights are important, the most difficult ones, you get used to it, learn to fly into a window or door. Or how our crews here in the shelter do not allow the enemy to stick their heads out, they hit accurately, thats the skill, the drone seems to be heading over the trench, at the last moment it literally dives inside, they are building fortifications, maybe you heard when they fill the slopes with concrete, they increase, and so on , but in any case you need to watch it all, look for some nuances, well, fly there straight through the door, naturally, we note the very competent speech, our the interlocutor smiles, thats how he used to be. He worked in a Managerial Position in a bank, no, not mobilized, a volunteer, he says , he felt that today here he brings more benefit to his homeland, maybe not everyone will understand, in this calculation it lasts 2 months, everyones fate here on the front line is different, mikhail has 10 years of service behind him, he himself comes from lesichansk, he joined the militia in 2014, was a scout, he walked home for 10 long war years, unfortunately, he did not have time to see his father, and his father died in lesochan yes, well, sort of now relatives are there, and you couldnt get here, well, during the war, yes, now ive transferred to the jet fighters, the crew number of the rszzo grad health says its not the same as it was 10 years ago in intelligence. You cant let your comrades down, now he supports the infantry with a barrage of fire. The grad multiple Rocket Launcher system entered the firing position, the crew received the coordinates, it was already aimed and will now hit the living enemy in the ordeev direction. Dozens of rockets hit targets, soldiers say, during the days offensive sometimes they are reloaded several times and can fire about 300 rockets. Large areas are covered with hail, hitting infantry with enemy equipment, an individual approach, especially to the foreign antitank crew of the twentyfourth special forces brigade of the group of troops center, which destroyed the American Tank abrams spoke about the features of such a hunt. Our commander worked ahead of the curve, he fired, he left the forest strip at that time, that is, he calculated how long the rocket was flying and approximately how he would leave, that is, well, he hit it, his truck, as i understand it. It was that he flew off and the goose swollen, he stood up for it, the crew abandoned him, then he ran away, was disoriented, then with subsequent attacks we finished him off, the fourth abrams, shot down a week ago, burned to the ground, often in the avdeevka direction, the enemy simply abandons the equipment, for example, two american armored personnel carriers, one had its track knocked out, could not move , was abandoned, they did not blow it up, the second was completely on the move, but for some reason was also left on the battlefield, and again for the russian president ial elections, data, which we receive from the center of the Election Commission, 44 of the protocols of precinct Election Commissions have been processed, and the data is as follows at this hour 87. 41 for Vladimir Putin, 4. 07 for Nikolai Kharitonov, Vladislav Davankov is gaining 4. 01 and three. From Leonid Slutsky. Such data up to this hour. And we continue. Losing to us on the battlefield, kiev responds with outright terrorism, and this is not only largecaliber shelling of civilians and attacks on border villages. These are attacks on the Zaporozhye Nuclear power plant, with the risk of provoking a horrific Nuclear Disaster in europe scale. The use of Chemical Warfare agents, political assassinations, the signature style of the terrorist state of ukraine. Ivan kanavalov. Near nermakh ukraine , several cars burned down, there are wounded and dead, the terrorist war is asymmetrical in the classical form, relatively small radical groups are trying to instill terror in the population of a particular country with the help of terrorist attacks in order to achieve their political goals, but history knows precedents when terror became the ideology of an entire state, for example, nazi germany, which, precisely with the help of total terror, subjugated all of europe. But she broke her teeth in the soviet union. The kiev nazi regime, the direct successor of hitlers, losing outright on the battlefield, also relies on largescale terror. The mastermind is the administration of the president of ukraine, the executors of the sbu, the Security Service of ukraine and gur, the Main Intelligence Department of the ministry of defense. They dont shy away from anything. Terrorist attacks, shelling of peaceful cities, organization of mass poisonings. Come on, come on, come on, come on. V in st. Petersburg, a gang of poisoners was detained , who, when opening the packaging, added poison that looked like granulated sugar to food, flour, cereals, instant cereals, instant coffee, which they were going to send to the northern military district zone, while the terrorists reported to the guru, greetings, after when the members of this gang were detained, they quickly cooperated with our special services and got involved in an operational game with the Main Intelligence Department of ukraine, so the ukrainian officer is given the Company Received a bag of chemicals chemical toxic substances, which i had to send to the dpr to poison the soldiers of the Russian Federation population. These are household toxic substances, but the use of chemical weapons is an important element of zelenskys terrorist strategy. According to available information, the kiev regime, with the assistance of western curators , is developing new combat tactics using a special chemical belt. It involves detonation with capacitive acid and ammonia during the advance of Russian Troops. From september to october 2023 years, these chemicals were delivered to the area of ​​the cities of kramatorsk and kupyansk. The ssu has already been used against Russian Troops on. They affect the mucous membrane of the eyes and the upper respiratory tract, in high concentrations they can cause skin burns, respiratory paralysis and cardiac arrest. On august 9 , 2022, the head of the kherson region administration, vladimir sadda, was hospitalized with signs of poisoning. Laboratory tests have shown its presence in biomedical samples. Russia has completely destroyed its stockpiles of chemical weapons back in 2017, which was controlled , including by american experts, the united states, allegedly last year, but not russian experts, not experts from the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons , were allowed into this process. The first list, that is, biset is a psychotropic substance, but it causes acute toxic substances that include psychosis, hallucination, memory loss, loss of orientation. In space. Sis, it is used, it has an irritating effect, it is used by police to disperse demonstrators, but again in a large dose it can be lethal, and ciara is already a Chemical Warfare agent. At the end of february , the us armys standard Chemical Warfare agent, bizet, was detected in the zaporozhye region. Fsb officers detained three ukrainian citizens who were planning a terrorist attack. The bezet was in service only with the us army, no other army had it. Before the neonazis came to power. It is obvious that specialists from the usa and Great Britain took an active part in these developments. The british trail can be easily traced by the characteristic feature of the special services of tumany. Albion, the desire to carry out particularly severe provocations. One of the first was an attack by ukrainian saboteurs on the then russian Zaporozhye Nuclear power plant in march 2022. The World Community was probably pretty scared. Disaster at europes largest Nuclear Power plant. Magathe sent her observers, but attacks on the station by kiev terrorists did not stop. This week, a Ukrainian Drone dropped an explosive device on a fuel storage facility. Another example from the uversa tactics of the kiev regime, for which human life is worth nothing. This is a deliberate government policy. Firstly, the destruction of our population, and i will remind you that when they kill the ukrainian population, they rejoice because there are no ukrainians for them. And for them we are still all russians. And secondly, in addition to some kind of primordial genetic desire to kill. Anywhere in the world until the complete victory of ukraine. And we killed russians and will continue to kill russians ; against this background, shelling of peaceful cities in donbass does not stop far behind the front line. Straight to the market. In january, the ssu attacked a textile market in the donetsk microdistrict. 27 civilians were killed and 25 were injured. In february, in lesichansk and the Luhansk Region , ukrainian hymers missiles hit a bakery. 28 people were killed and 10 were injured. Recently , after a meeting with the command of the armed forces of ukraine, zelensky admitted in a telegram channel that vile strikes deep in russian territory are the basis of his strategy. We have identified the enemys vulnerabilities, those where we can and will do the most harm to him. The more the russian state will lose, and the greater the price of its aggression, the closer the just end of this war will be. A terrorist war is always an act of desperation on the losing side, the one who wages it is doomed to defeat, but for the western curators of kiev it is still beneficial, as soon as the benefit turns into a burden, the west will quickly surrender its current charges, as has happened more than once, but we are waiting for this we wont, our goal is very specifically outlined by the supreme commanderinchief, we didnt start this war in donbass, but as ive said more than once, we will do everything to finish it. Eradicate nazism, solve all the tasks of a special military operation, protect the sovereignty and security of our citizens. Ivan kanavalov, irina bliznyuk, alexander gusev, channel one. And again we return to the president ial elections in russia, the preliminary Voting Results of the central Election Commission. After processing 47 of the protocols of precinct Election Commissions, given by us. These are Vladimir Putin has 87. 37 of the votes, Nikolai Kharitonov gains 4. 09 of the votes. Vladislav davankov received 4. 01 of the votes, leonid slutskogo 3. 1 of votes. These are the latest data from the central Election Commission for this minute, we will return to them throughout our entire program, everything changes, the numbers change too. For the first time you. More than 88 , in lugansk over 87, in kherson region almost 84 , in zaporozhye over 85 . How the voting went in donbass and novorosiya in the report by alexey ivanov. Half an hour before the opening of this polling station in donetsk, it is already crowded. Despite the rain and snow, the townspeople came to vote in the first russian president ial elections in the history of donbass. Today, in general, our country is faced with a historical choice, in fact, and we are like new citizens. Our great russia , but in fact historically, we are very old citizens, one might say, we must take part, take responsibility and share the fate of our homeland, we simply cannot be indifferent to this, we live here and we want everything was fine for us, so we know where we are going, why we are going, we vote, we hope that our new united country, here it is, will, of course, give us the opportunity to prosper, and work and raise children. Therefore, for us this choice is extremely important, it is imperative to be, to show your civic duty, responsibility, these are not loud words, we, as residents of donetsk, understand this more than anyone else. Together with everyone , the chairman of the Peoples Council of the donetsk peoples republic, artyom zhoga, is also waiting for the opening of the site. During the election campaign, as Vladimir Putins confidant, he traveled to dozens of cities, but he wanted to vote in his native donetsk, along with the people who deserved it. Elections. On the first day of voting , the petrovsky district was shelled. Killed, including children. The day before, militants attacked residential buildings in the budyunovsky and kuibyshevsky districts. Its alarming, but you know, this is already the donbass character, it doesnt stop us and doesnt scare us. We still go in a good mood, with faith in the best. Where to intimidate . Who, us . We will not be intimidated as long as we are here. Its unrealistic to vote, but youll still come. In any case, they will not intimidate us. For n days on the first day of the main voting at the queuing stations, this suggests that, for example, here in donetsk people are very responsible and understand how important their vote is. These hardfought elections are recognized by the residents of donbass. Many received russian citizenship even before the referendum on joining russia. In the fall of 2021 , some specially traveled to the Rostov Region to vote for state duma deputies; now, finally, they are choosing the president of russia without leaving their borders. It was broken, everything was destroyed, we cannot be destroyed, exactly a month ago, february 17 avdiivka, the city of sputnik donetsk, was liberated, the arrival of our military , hundreds of residents were waiting there, as it turned out, some of them were evacuated to temporary Accommodation Centers, but some people remained in the city, despite the difficult situation, the day before employees of one of the nearest Election Commissions arrived in avdiivka , the opportunity to vote in elections. 86. 75 . Voting is active in all our new regions, this is the zaporozhye region. Its wrong that the constitution of the Russian Federation says that everyone. Has the right to to be elected and to elect, so i urge everyone to come to the polling station, vote, not be afraid of anything, everything will be russia, as they vote, residents of the liberated territories came to see foreign experts, and although in most of the cities and towns they visited, the situation is peaceful, the guests do not take off their helmets and body armor , but they are unanimous in their assessments, i came to convey the truth to the west about what is happening in the donbass, the people who fought here for their. A special military operation is being carried out, will be able to organize elections, this is generally, we can say, a precedent, we have not seen any violations, and this is simply amazing, on this we can congratulate those people who organize the elections. Before the opening of polling stations, Election Commission employees underwent thorough training, they can even provide first aid, but they hope that this will not be required, because the main thing is to help people vote. Here is the opportunity to vote for those who are away from home, this is how we, for example, are here on a business trip, you just need to write application, thats right, yes, you must provide a passport, thats it, all the data is recorded, now you receive a ballot, go to a booth, we have a pen there, after the booth you make your choice and after the booth you go to vote with this ballot, now were heading to vote. Thats it, voted, easy and simple. In the donetsk peoples republic, polling stations closed today earlier than throughout the country, at 3 00 pm, and these are also security measures. And then the counting of votes began. The ballots barely fit big table. Employees of this Precinct Commission say that the president ial elections here were held with a record turnout. Alexey ivanov, valentin stukanov, oleg shishkin, alexander napalkov, pavel evdokimenko, channel one. Donbass. And the choice of crimea 10 years ago , the absolute majority of residents of the peninsula voted to return to russia. And so that people could make this choice without fear of the neonazis who seized power in kiev, polite people, soldiers of the Russian Special operations forces, came to the aid of the crimeans.
