Well, the kremlin explained the choice of candidates made by Vladimir Putin; according to president ial press secretary dmitry peskov, each decision has a clear justification. Indicates. According to the Security Forces, they entered the Federation Council, speaking according to the Security Forces, these are the heads of departments of the security bloc, which are under the department of the head of state, they entered the council federations and all this you have already seen in the media. I want to tell you the following sergei kuzhege shaigu, he was relieved of his post by decree of the president , minister of defense of the Russian Federation and was also appointed secretary by decree of the president of the Russian Federation. Security council of the Russian Federation. Nikolai platonovich patrushev, relieved of his post as secretary of the Security Council due to his transfer to another job. He continues to work. And over the next few days we will let you know you, where Nikolai Platonovich will continue his activities. As you know, andrei iranovich belousov has been appointed minister of defense. Here i would like to clarify a little the budget of the ministry of defense and the security bloc. Quite recently it was still around 3 , then it grew to 3. 4 , and most recently it grew to 6. 7 . This, together with all Law Enforcement agencies, among which the ministry of defense, of course, occupies key positions, since it is the ministry of defense that is responsible for placing all orders in industry, this is not a critical figure yet, but we are gradually approaching, for known reasons, due to known geopolitical circumstances around us, to the situation in the mid eighties, when this share of spending on the rural block in the economy was 7. 4 . I repeat, this is not critical, but it is extremely important, and it requires a special attitude, very important. Write off the economy of the power bloc as the economy of the country, write it off so that it corresponds to the dynamics of the current moment, second probably what is important to note is that this is today on the battlefield the one who is open, more open to innovation, more open to the most rapid implementation wins, therefore, naturally, at the current stage, the president decided that the ministry of defense should be headed by a civilian, and this is not just a civilian, but a person who led a very successful ministry of Economic Development of russia, who for a long time was the assistant to the president on economic issues, and also in the previous cabinet of ministers, was first deputy chairman of the government. The ministry of defense must be absolutely open to innovation, to introduce all advanced ideas, to create conditions for economic competitiveness, and so. That is why, that is why the president chose the candidacy of andrei rymich belous. As for the military component, this appointment will in no way change the current coordinate system. The military component has always been the prerogative of the chief of the general staff. He will continue his activities. There are no changes in this regard yet not currently provided. As for sergei kruzhgevich shalgu. In the position of secretary of the Security Council, will simultaneously be Deputy President in the commission on the militaryindustrial complex, and he is deeply immersed in this work, he knows very well the rate of production of militaryindustrial products at specific enterprises, often visits these enterprises, and you already know that this was also the case before it is reported that date for the post of minister of defense.

He strongly condemned the attacks on civilians. This was reported by a representative of the world union of old believers. Ekaterina radaeva will tell you how western politicians reacted to the terrorist attack. The Ukrainian Army is conducting terrorist attacks on belgorod, but the western press does not notice this. Most newspapers, magazines and television channels, if they mention it, do so in short messages, carefully avoiding judgment. American agency. For example, i managed not to write at all who exactly struck the tenstory residential building. Only the British Agency reuters, the german magazine focus and the dubai tv channel alarabiya pointed out the obvious guilt of ukraine, while officials at the un again limited themselves to the usual phrase. We oppose any attacks on civilian buildings anywhere. The Permanent Mission of russia to the osce expressed outrage at the double standards of this organization. Its leaders demonstratively do not react militarily. Crimes kyiv regime. We demand from the osce leadership, especially the maltese chairmanshipinoffice, to condemn criminal acts as harshly as possible. It is unacceptable to ostentatiously ignore russian civilian casualties, whether in belgorod, donbass or anywhere else. There should be no double standards of political filters in the osce when it comes to the obvious brutal violations of International Humanitarian law by the kiev regime. Only some independent western. Journalists are not yet afraid to call a spade a spade. I spent a lot of time in belgorod, where indiscriminate ukrainian shelling has been killing innocent civilians for too long. Today ukraine struck a residential building, destroying it. This is terrorism sponsored by the north atlantic alliance. The Biden Administration said it did not see any violations in the way kiev was using the nato weapons supplied to it. As a result, the United States sent weapons worth another 400 million to the Ukrainian Armed forces. Bloomberg Agency Directly indicates that in ukraine washington is waging a war by agreement against moscow, the goal is to cause the greatest damage to russia. The decrepit hegemon is trying to reduce the costs of his vassals, but so far its not working out well. The german budget is incurring multimilliondollar losses due to the need to pay benefits to ukrainian refugees. The bild newspaper calculated that of the 1,100,000 ukrainian citizens who fled to germany, only about 20 work. Scholz noted that only those who benefit dochland will be able to stay. Germany is primarily for those who work and do not burden us with debt. Such people will definitely be able to stay. Citizens of ukraine have already have monopolized at least one sector of the German Economy prostitution. But now the German Government is also being deceived with pleasure. The number of officially registered ukrainian prostitutes in germany has increased sixfold, but there are many more illegal ukrainians with low social responsibility; they do not want to pay taxes. Many women from ukraine fall into the hands of the mafia. Soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed forces do not know that their wives and sisters are being sent to the panel, said employees of public organizations. The women we deal with have not previously were engaged. Constitution, as a rule, they are hired even at the stage of moving to germany with the help of online advertisements in ukrainian, most often they talk about work in the service sector, sometimes about massage, the truth, of course, is hidden. In poland , contradictions between the local population and ukrainians are growing.

During reconnaissance, a platoon commander was discovered stronghold with ukrainian nationalists. The coordinates were immediately transferred to the command of the crew of the mstas selfpropelled guns. We quickly moved to firing positions and destroyed the militants. After this, the calculations quickly changed their position. The computer works for us. That is, there is no need to run to the soba, set the aiming point and busol, orient the car.
