Hello, welcome to the Information Service of telecomponent tv, this is. Today the president ial elections began in russia, which, for the convenience of voters, will last 3 days and will be held both in person and electronically. Todays meeting of the Russian Security council in novogaryovo was devoted to this topic. Vladimir putin said that the kiev regime timed provocations to coincide with the start of voting, in particular an attempt militant incursions into russian territory. According to the president , the nationalists were defeated and fled, suffering heavy losses. Putin expressed confidence that the actions of the militants would not be able to influence the holding of the elections. As you know, today in our country, in accordance with the russian constitution, president ial elections have begun, with the goal of disrupting the voting process and intimidating people, at least in the regions bordering ukraine. The kiev neonazi regime is trying to carry out a number of criminal and demonstrative actions. Armed actions are, first of all , striking civilian settlements on russian territory. About 95 of enemy missiles are destroyed by our air defense systems. However, unfortunately, we have casualties among civilians. All their families will certainly be provided with all the necessary help and support. These enemy attacks do not go unpunished. And will not remain, in addition, starting from march 12 of this year to the present, the enemy is using mainly special forces of foreign mercenaries and support forces of the armed forces of ukraine, made several attempts to exit and consolidate on our territory, a number of sabotage and terrorist attacks were carried out, four in the belgorod and one in the kursk directions with the aim of exiting and consolidating on. 35 did not, in any of the directions the enemy the success of the tanks, about 40 armored fighting vehicles, were thrown back everywhere and retreated, or rather fled with heavy losses, about 60 among personnel, over 50 in armored vehicles. The purpose of these actions, senseless from a Military Point of view and criminal from a humanitarian point of view, is how it has already been said, an attempt to interfere with the president ial elections in russia. I am sure that our people, the people of russia, will respond to this with even greater unity. Who did they decide to intimidate . Russian people, multinational people of russia. This was never certain. Will. Another possible goal of an action of this kind is to divert the attention of its own people and the public of other countries, from which the kiev regime is trying to humiliatingly beg. Confidently hold the initiative and step by step, showing courage and heroism, achieve solutions to the tasks set combat missions before them, thus creating the necessary basic conditions to ensure the security of russia and the internal political stability of our state. Ultimately, and to achieve all the goals of national development, for the future of our homeland, which, despite any attempts of our enemies and illwishers, will be reliably secured without any doubt.

Experts from france, spain, italy, and the United States arrived in the rear village of volodarskoye, not far from mariupol. For some reason, most of them are wearing helmets and bulletproof vests, apparently for the sake of pictures, although normal work is in full swing at the site. One of the few who did not wear body armor was an observer from cameroon. In donbass clarisa this is not the first time, before that i attended the referendum in 2022, and now i am preparing to learn from the experience of Russian Election commissions. Election commissions expect an influx of visitors on weekends, since friday is still a working day for most, however, if you really want to, you can make your choice without being distracted from your business. Those who, like me, are on a business trip can vote in the dpr, for this you only need 5 minutes of free time, a passport and an absentee ballot, now they will find me in the voter lists, and i will go to booth where i can cast my vote, but here i can calmly stage it all alone without our operator. And here is the news of the last minutes , Vladimir Putin voted in the president ial election, we just received this footage, the current head of state cast his vote in novogorev, Vladimir Putin chose the format of remote electronic voting. The voting process is closely monitored at the candidates headquarters, and their teams respond to requests from public observers. Vladimir putins election headquarters in the gostiny dvor in moscow was visited today by the secretary general of the shanghai cooperation organization, dzhan ming, who headed the mission of observers from the sco.

Vladimir putins headquarters was also visited by the chairman of the Parliamentary Assembly of the collective Security Treaty Organization countries and observers from the csto, who noted the high level of organization of the elections. The headquarters of the ldpr candidate, leonid slutsky, is similar to call center, and operators wearing headphones communicate with supervisors who are working. In the regions, the single president ial candidate from the new people of the party of growth, vladislav dvankov, has headquarters in more than 70 constituent entities of russia, the central one is in moscow. But the headquarters of the candidate from the communist party of the russian federation, nikolai kharitonov, is not working today; it will open only on the last day of voting on sunday. Then, as the first day of the president ial elections unfolds , they carefully monitor the Electoral Commission center, which is where all the data comes nonstop. O voting, information about the results during the processing of ballots will also be received there, and the Information Center of the commissions also operates there. Almost 1,500 journalists received accreditation, and about half of them were representatives of foreign media. Our correspondent roman sobol visited the central Electoral Commission today; he will talk about todays work of the Central Election Commission. 333,599 people are registered as observers at these elections, among them we are simply talking about peace, we do not support the conflict, on the contrary, they, they should thank us, because we are here and can directly watch how the voting procedure is, so they should not give us such consequences, you can say, but only gratitude, because we are watching and we will tell you how it is, how everything is in order. The United States and the European Union are trying to almost openly interfere in the voting process; the information resources of the Electoral Commission center are constantly subject to massive hacker attacks. Thats today. Moscow time , the Central Election Commission reported that turnout in the russian president ial elections has already reached 25 , and this is only the first voting day, of course, different regions have their own specifics, this time they are voting very actively in the west, these are kherson, zaporozhye, donetsk, belgorod, the situation there is far from the calmest, but this does not interfere with the elections, although in principle, kusbass is catching up already almost 62 . But this is only the first day, there are two weekends ahead, an opportunity. The perpetrators should be punished, but if you just do the math, there are more than 100 million voters in the country, all sorts of confused young people could theoretically spoil several hundred ballots.
