Anton stepanenko, valery vinokurov, news zaporozhye front of a military special operation.

Requiring our attention for the twentyfourth year no, we will discuss the progress of the contracts of the twentythird year, next year in terms of increasing the combat capabilities of operationaltactical aviation, we had comments, there were complaints, but fortunately the machine was completed in a timely manner, we will also consider how the optical design work is being carried out to create a complex with unmanned aerial vehicles, a large one further. The summit of the European Political Community is ending in spanish granada, as the western press notes, the first meeting essentially ended in failure, no key decisions were made, including on the main issues, the situation in nagornokarabakh and the balkans. Even the final press conference had to be cancelled. Ours has all the details correspondent regina sevastyanova. The first day of the meeting of the highest level of the European Political Community in granada, despite high expectations, actually ended without any concrete results. The summit, which was attended by 44 european leaders out of 47 invitees, was unable to achieve significant progress in resolving conflicts that are occurring on the doorstep of europe or any other regional problems, indicates today, for example, the publication of politics, even the press conference at which they gathered near 700 journalists had to be canceled, the leaders simply had nothing to say to the press, in particular on the situation in nagornokarabakh, in particular on the kosovo issue due to the absence of key players at this summit, in particular, the president of azerbaijan did not come to granada. Ukraine was once again assured of support, but today the media are noting some inconsistencies. For example, in his video message, Vladimir Zelensky thanks specific countries, spain, italy, france, germany, great britain, for new aid packages, in particular longrange weapons, but following the first day of the summit, these countries did not announce any deliveries of new longrange weapons, and german chancellor olaf scholz even announced the results of longterm complex negotiations in the coalition, according to which taurus longrange cruise missiles would not be transferred to kiev, he justified this decision with fears of escalation conflict. The German Government must always consider what the constitution requires of us and what our options are. In particular, we must of course guarantee that there will be no escalation of the war and that germany will not part of the conflict. This is also my task as chancellor to ensure. Sweden also put forward conditions for supplies, according to which sweden will make military supplies to ukraine only if the process of this countrys accession to nato is completed, Emmanuel Macron expressed concern whether europe will remain united in the issue of supporting ukraine even after the polish elections, and he stated that some statements made during the Election Campaign were at odds with what was said a few months ago, but in general the lack of unity was clearly demonstrated by the discussion, which overshadowed all others on this migration issue, in particular, it was assumed that the European Union would announce that it had reached a consensus on the migration package that the alliance tried to agree on in 2015 and which. Was preliminarily approved by the permanent representatives of the alliance countries in brussels, but hungary and poland voted against, at the same time, hungary was categorically against the very idea of quota placement of Illegal Immigrants and the possibility of paying off admission in favor of fines of 20 or 25,000 euros. Poland and hungary were not satisfied with this proposal, but it was pushed past us. Hungary and poland were completely excluded from this process. After this there is no chance. It is politically impossible to reach any compromise on the migration agreement, not today, but generally speaking, in the coming years, you know, because legally we are, how can i say, raped, in turn, the polish Prime Minister said yesterday and today that he is not afraid of the dictates of brussels and possible restrictions due to refusal to sign this pact. Poland definitely rejects this plan, primarily for reasons of security of our country, when i discussed the situation in france, the netherlands and others. 70 is their data, not ours, 70 of robberies and crimes occur among illegal migrants, the European Commission was also unable to announce the approval of a new aid package to ukraine in the amount of 50 billion euros for the next 3 years, because hungary continues to block the adoption of a new paneuropean budget, well , the countries could not receive new promises to join the European Union, just today the chairman of the European CouncilCharles Michel said, a discussion began about reforming the rules of the alliance to allow new countries to join it. We must answer three questions what do we together want from the future, taking into account the prospect of expansion, what are our priorities, what is the general policy. The second question is how we will make decisions together. The third question is how we will pay for our priorities and our common initiatives after expansion. This discussion will continue at the end of october in brussels, when eu leaders meet here at the end of year, when the European Commission plans to officially recommend that the alliance begin negotiations on ukraines accession to the European Union, the alliance cannot be expanded to 3035 countries, as brussels expects, first it will have to carry out significant reforms. Regina sevastova, evgenia zemtsova, diana devitkov, European Bureau of vgtrk. Vladimir putins speech at the Valdai International club lasted almost 4 hours. During this time, the president spoke on all relevant issues. Expenses did not affect the implementation of social obligations. We have a Budget Surplus in the Third Quarter of over 660 billion rubles, this year there will be a deficit year on year, but only 1 . This is a completely healthy budget and a healthy economy , so to say that we are spending excessively, a lot of money for guns , we forgot about butter, this is not so, i want to emphasize that everything, namely all the previously announced development plans, all the social obligations to the population, all are fully fulfilled; separately, Vladimir Putin dwelled on the incident in the canadian parliament, where the former essayist was honored, while the president doubted that the canadian speaker did not know history, some money. I in no way want to hurt the feelings of the canadian people, we treat canada with respect no matter what , especially the people, but if he does not know that hitler and his minions fought against russia during the war, then he is an idiot, well, that means its simple, it means he just didnt go to school. Does not have basic knowledge, and if he knows that this man fought on the side of
