, so now they said, first in slovakia hungary supported it. hungary accuses the european commission of developing an energy plan against russia under the drumbeat of pressure from ukraine. this was stated by foreign minister peter szijjarto, according to him... according to ursula fondern, president of the european commission is promoting an initiative to fulfill volodymyr zelensky's demands, but at the same time harming the interests of the european union, in particular the energy supply of hungary and slovakia. péter szijjártó stressed that the refusal of russian oil, gas and nuclear fuel by 2027 could destroy the economy of central europe. but in france, they have come up with an initiative "to move russian diplomats around the countries of the european union within the framework of a new package of sanctions against russia, the country's foreign minister jean-noël barrot said on the air of the radio station rtl. according to him, paris has encouraged the european commission to prepare one of the most powerful packages since the beginning o

slovakia's desire to negotiate with russia is understandable and pragmatic.ntry will suffer the most from the eu's refusal to import gas from russia. and as slovakia's prime minister robert fica said, it's a shot in the knee. but here it's worth quoting him: we have a problem with competitiveness, with high prices for electricity and gas, and we are going to make another harmful ideological decision because of our obsession with russia, which will further worsen competitiveness. until the twenty-second year, slovakia's dependence on russian gas was 81%. let me remind you that slovakia has a contract with gazprom, valid until 2034. it was concluded earlier. and there are very good fixed prices, which are lower than on the spot market, in amsterdam, for example, yes, and there is a significant margin, in fact, so the slovaks, of course, do not want to give up russian gas. berlin will help kiev speed up the production of weapons, this was stated by the head of the german foreign ministry, johann wadephul, during a visit to the ukrainian capital, he emphasized th

and the prime minister of slovakia.obert fico called on the eu not to consider new anti-russian sanctions until the issue of stopping russian gas supplies is resolved. in his opinion, stopping imports will cause the country losses of a billion euros and may result in a lawsuit against gazprom demanding compensation of 20 billion euros. sanctions are ineffective and have not stopped russia's progress. at the same time, he called for a focus on peace initiatives and stated that slovakia would seek their inclusion in the final document of the european council summit. and when someone speaks in slovakia, they immediately repeat practically the same thing in hungary, or vice versa, they start in hungary, then in slovakia. so now they said, first in slovakia, hungary supported. hungary with... in developing an energy plan against russia under the drumbeat of pressure from ukraine. this was stated by foreign minister peter szijjarto. according to him, ursula fonden, president of the european commission, is promoting the initia

this was stated prime minister of slovakia robert fica.lained that the country, of course, wants to remain a constructive participant in the european community, but not to its own detriment. if there is a sanction that threatens to harm us, then i will never vote for its adoption. if someone proposes to stop the supply of nuclear fuel to slovakia from russia, then i simply cannot support this, since it will be necessary to shut down five nuclear reactors. we block any sanctions that will harm national and state interests. slovakia. the french authorities have offered renault to produce drones in ukraine. the company confirmed that such an appeal had been made, but emphasized that no decision had been made at this stage. earlier, the head of the french ministry of defense announced plans by a large automaker, together with a small enterprise, to establish production of unmanned aerial vehicles in ukraine, but the minister did not name a specific company, but now we seem to know one of them. and the official one. the exchange rate for today

we must communicate with russia, this statement was made by the president of slovakia petr fillegrin. the politician criticized the approach of the european union to those who are trying to build a dialogue with moscow, he does not understand the furious reaction of brussels to the trip of prime minister fitz to moscow. but fitz is not the only european politician who has received the unofficial title of persona non grata in brussels. as if on command, the european media began to accuse the independent mep from cyprus, fidas panaitou, of working for the kremlin. the journalist was most outraged by his video from moscow calling for an end to arms supplies to ukraine. on this occasion, the european parliament even launched a special investigation against ponaiot and five other meps, who, despite ursula fondern's ban, still visited moscow in may. before becoming a member of the european parliament, this is what his daily life looked like. ridiculous challenges that millions of subscribers watched on social networks. services, a year later this caused discontent among their senior colleag

and europe, which will have a major impact on the competitiveness of slovakia and the eu. therefore, we believe that the vote on the sanctions package should be postponed. i say this loud and clear: the slovak republic will not vote on the eighteenth sanctions package. against the backdrop of the eu summit, the not only with internal divisions, but also with a noticeable lack of support from its most important ally. just a day before the eu leaders met at a summit to discuss new sanctions against russia, the united states made its position clear: it does not support europe's latest initiatives. right now, i am not very optimistic. i do not see any light at the end of the tunnel. so our response must be clear and strong. we must introduce the eighteenth package of sanctions. in my opinion, this is a very good package, very strong, and of course, it would be good if we could avoid any exceptions, softening in this package. in fact, the europeans are approaching this summit with difficulty, trying to somehow stay afloat in the midst of the crisis, first of all, this is connec

significantly harm the competitiveness of slovakia and the eu as a whole.this is confirmed by representatives of the slovak industry. in these circumstances , we ask that the vote on the sanctions package be postponed until the issue of what will actually happen with supplies. if other participants do not agree with this and want to vote, then we will veto. who will pay us if we lose the agreement with gazprom? this is billions of euros. much greater losses, an astronomical 2.5 trillion euros are expected if ukraine joins the eu, which is 12 times more than the current eu budget. viktor orban came to the summit with these calculations, and also? with the results of the hungarian referendum, according to which 95% of the country's residents voted against ukraine being part of the eu. it's all about the war, if we integrated ukraine into the european union, we would integrate the war, and we would not want to be together in one community with a country that is in a state of war and poses an immediate threat to us, because if a member of the european union is

slovakia wants guarantees that this will not harm its economy. ursula vonderlaen discussed this separately with prime minister robert fitz yesterday, our interlocutors, diplomats, report that there is a certain mutual understanding they have achieved. high -level contacts will continue in a week and until then, as we know from its sources, bratislava has promised to block the eighteenth package, but it is unknown how long another decision will be blocked, the issue of starting negotiations with ukraine. accession to the eu. this process is vetoed by hungary. on the air of the hungarian state radio viktor orban boasted today that he managed to stop ukraine's accession to the eu. i note that the talk about membership is not only about starting the negotiation processes, that is, there is still a very long way to go. orban repeated that if ukraine joins the eu, it could allegedly drag the bloc into a war with russia, while calling ukraine an undefined entity with unclear borders, and in his social networks he rejoiced that the number. but, i emphasi

of a national... football stadium, so i have to go there, i am a former football player there in slovakia at the highest level and so on, when i saw 33,000 citizens of belarus and how they rejoice, how happy they are that such a stadium exists, i was delighted and... i carried everyone in my arms, but we don’t have it, and you did, in the current difficult geopolitical situation, the role of diplomacy is difficult to overestimate, we see that some countries continue to actively pump ukraine with weapons, but such behavior, it delays the possibility of a peaceful resolution of the conflict, of course, of course, you know, what is the best war that never started, when... many are throwing fighters, tanks, this is not a way out of the war, no, therefore i generally agree with the position of your president when he says, and for my country the most important thing is peace and the well-being of the people, right, absolutely right, what could be even better than that, this? that we live in peace, and that people live better, so i decided that i will come back and try to improve relations betwe

the unity of the european union is cracking at the seams , hungary and slovakia blocked a new package of eu sanctions against russia. and the memory train was met in grodno. the impression of the participants. which we created in kusbas, yes, belazs are mainly sold, but all the equipment is presented there, mazs, mtz, and belkomunmash, well, all agricultural trailer equipment, we are ready to cooperate more widely through you with the region where kuzbass is located, this is half of siberia, in fact, densely populated siberia, let's think together how to use this center in such a way that... well, it increases its volumes, i emphasize once again, we are ready for this, we are ready to trade with your companies that buy mechanical engineering products and others from us with certain preferences that we have created, including leasing, the only thing is that in this regard we need guarantees. currently, a project is being implemented to build a belaz service center, where maintenance of equipment will be arranged not only for this enterprise, but also for other belarusian manufacturers,

i asked the minister of foreign and european affairs of slovakia to contact the eu foreign ministers so that the issue of new anti-russian sanctions is not discussed in brussels next wednesday until the problem of stopping russian gas supplies is solved. slovakia has no reason to suffer because of ukraine, and we want to know what guarantees we will have whether we will have enough gas. the eu does not know what to do. the eu has become an organization that has forgotten its peaceful nature. significantly support the war in ukraine, now the eu cannot move from its position in its approach to the conflict between israel and iran. why is the eu now talking about responsibility, about diplomacy, about peace in the case of israel and iran and does not say this in connection with the conflict between ukraine and russia, this really interests me very much. the european commission headed by ursula von derlein and ukraine headed by volodymyr zelensky want to cause great damage to hungary by cutting it off from russian oil and gas, but the government of the country does not... russia and the

tatyana, for example, slovakia will have to pay about 16 billion euros.i will continue the topic a little later, but i will start with another piece of news. today the st. petersburg international economic forum starts, its main. theme is common values, the basis for growth in a multipolar world. events will last until june 21, including day zero, a session called forming a new platform for global growth will open. at it, experts will discuss the main challenges facing the world, among the topics of today's discussions, also, cooperation between brics and partner countries, innovative economy, technological leadership and digital transformation. hungary does not agree with brussels' plan to ban oil and gas supplies from russia. is going to continue to fight against this initiative, as the head of the country's ministry of foreign affairs , peter szijjarta, commented on the publication of the draft by the european commission, the day before hungary and slovakia blocked a statement in support of this document. during the debate, we made it clear that this i

well, actually, fica, the prime minister of slovakia said that it will not be adopted. slovakia continue to insist that the extreme ideological decision of the european commission to stop gas supplies from russia will cause significant damage to all of europe, its competitiveness, not to mention how this will affect slovakia." economy, i don't see any reason why slovak households should pay more because of ukraine, and i don't see any reason why slovak industry should be threatened because of ukraine. i made it clear that if there is no change in gas supplies from russia to europe, slovakia is ready to block the eighteenth package of sanctions against the russian federation. well, fica and orban are politicians from that category, from that pale of european politicians, politicians of the european union, who, being convinced... let's say so, supporters of their countries being members of the eu, still proceed from their own interests, now, let's say, in the heads of the same french and germans it never fits, how can it be that you are a member of the european union, and

slovakia wants guarantees that this will not harm its economy. ursula fondelain discussed this separately yesterday with prime minister robert fitz, our diplomatic interlocutors report that they have reached a certain mutual understanding. high-level contacts will continue in a week. and until that moment, as we know from our sources, bratislava has promised block the eighteenth package, but it is unknown how long another decision will be blocked, the question of starting negotiations with ukraine on its accession to the eec. orban repeated that if ukraine joins the eu, it could allegedly drag the bloc into a war with russia, while calling ukraine an undefined entity with unclear borders, and in his social networks he rejoiced that the number of opponents of its membership in the eu is growing in poland. a recent poll showed that 35% of respondents in poland support ukraine's accession, and against 40. thank you very much, our correspondent, zaryana stepanenko works in brussels. russian propagandist anastasia koshivarova stated that russian soldi

but in slovakia. "they don't care about him, blanar's opinion is shared by the country's president.air on one of the slovak tv channels , peter pellegrini said that it is time to start a dialogue with russia, it is necessary that europe finds". until 2022 , slovakia's dependence on russian gas was 81%. let me remind you that slovakia has a contract with gazprom, valid until 2034, it was previously concluded and there are very good fixed prices, which are lower than on the spot market, in the same amsterdam, for example, yes, and there is a significant margin, in fact, so the slovaks, of course, do not want to give up russian gas. well, as they say at the same time, berlin will help kiev speed up the production of weapons, this was stated by the head of the german foreign ministry , johann wadephul, during a visit to the ukrainian capital. he emphasized that cooperation in the production of weapons on ukrainian territory is a logical continuation. to german military aid to the ukrainian authorities. wadephul arrived in kiev together with representatives of german defense concerns. he

national guard was introduced. is actively affecting the whole of europe and the prime minister of slovakia is ready to block the next package if it harms national interests. 26 years ago, serbia signed the kumanovo agreement, withdrew troops from kosovo. how belgrade views the events of those years today. welcome to you ntv television company information service, denis kaplya in the studio. hello. we begin with news from the special operation zone. assault units of the vostok troop group captured a stronghold of the ukrainian armed forces. our soldiers carried out a daring raid using dirt bikes. they quickly drove up to the enemy firing points and threw mine grenades at them. thanks to this, they were able to quickly clear the dugouts and consolidate their positions. russian units have the initiative on all sections of the front. successful advancement contributes to constant training near the combat contact line. training there takes place under the supervision of experienced instructors in conditions as close as possible to combat. alexey chebotarev observed the training of the military.

that slovakia says: we don’t want to pay money, no need, we want to leave nato, well, now in generalimes are coming, now in general no one wants exactly such times, so i looked at the statistics, i was upset, the main income of the ukrainian budget is falling before our eyes, it turns out that only fans pays only 150. yes, if someone did not understand, we are talking about the camera, about the video camera, regarding air defense, the american secretary of defense admitted in front of a congressional committee that they took some systems, he didn't say which systems, but some american air defense systems, and took them out of ukraine and transferred them to israel, well, well, that's the question, how did they do it, if they gave these systems to the armed forces of ukraine, the armed forces of ukraine, of course, wouldn't give them up. it takes 94 people almost a year and 52 weeks to train a basic mechanic, officers spend a year training an operator for six months, how long does it take to train a driver-mechanic on the m-113, on the m-113, yes, in a week or two, it's a fairly simp

slovakia and hungary intend to block the next, already eighteenth, package of anti-russian sanctions. ver, hello, the fact is that the countries are not ready to support this package if it includes a ban on supplies of russian fuel, because the refusal will become a threat to the energy security of these countries, i will now briefly tell you about this and other news. car loans in russia continue to cool, in 5 months banks issued such loans for 478 billion rubles. a decrease compared to last year by almost half, the united credit bureau reports. pressure on the market continues to be exerted. key rate, also affected by the utelsbor , a restriction on issuing loans to citizens with a high debt burden. the largest volume of loans is traditionally in moscow and the region, as well as in st. petersburg. slovakia will not support the eighteenth sanctions package if it includes a ban on supplies of russian energy resources. this was stated by prime minister robert fitz. according to him, the refusal of our hydrocarbons and nuclear fuel will lead to an energy crisis in the country. hungary

farmers in slovakia, farmers in the european union, are generally against. look, i did not come to belarus to judge, i belong to sovereigntist politicians, sovereigntist in the sense that we respect the sovereignty of each individual state, we are against such a policy, when someone comes to a country and tells you: you must develop this, you must live like this, we are against such an approach, every country has the right to decide how it will live, and we must respect this. the only thing i can do, as a politician from europe... in silence, the world plunged into all the sounds of vanity disappeared, only the song of the wind specially caresses the ear, so that you look around and understand how quiet it is around. whenever possible, go to nature, go to the forests. fields, to the rivers and lakes, breathe fresh air, admire the clear sky, listen to the birds singing, the rustling of leaves, smile at the sun, enjoy, notice this beauty around. in harmony with nature. belarus 24. well, my beloved bunny. are you going to be late? thank you, robert. for what? w

u. slovakia has been pushing back against anti russian sentiments within the block. the central european nation believes that the economic restrictions have backfires harming the initiators while having little to any real effect on moscow people since we heard from a member of the european parliament phone from slovakia. and he said that prime minister, robert faith so has already informed brussels about his country's decision. that the great news i am a reading aloud to the matter of the following lines from felicia bodies cement, as large central democrats, the national body read a few that gives from the last social democratic party, approved the resolution, the irony, he's the need to know the b, i don't need to have a little slow, but these are all reasons why we go felicia, which made the technical mistake. not everybody here is making fun of them. the truth is that the government a little bit detail is always good. his eyes, the sanctions against the russian federation, and other governments. he seemed barbara by the parliament to be even tougher. any issue, b

under their command, the red army liberated slovakia from the nazis. these people led the liberation operations that led to the defeat of fascism in slovakia. marshal konev is a symbol of the liberation of prague, but unfortunately, his memory was treated incorrectly in the czech republic, incorrect. marshal malinovsky, commander of the second ukrainian front, broke the defense with extraordinary courage. level, despite the fact that there are those who are hostile to this, but there are many people with the same position as me in slovakia, we want our relations to develop, not break down. the requim concert on the eve of the day of memory and sorrow was held at the rzhev memorial, it was installed 5 years ago in honor of our heroes, soldiers, red army soldiers who fought against nazism, we... how did it happen that in germany they don't know who who was surrounded in leningrad, in great britain, who took berlin, this is the result of the consistent belittling of the role of the soviet union in the defeat of nazism, manipulation of knowledge, it all st

as i say in slovakia, i'm always right for when your mom talk, but if you proud. yes just i'm actually talking to you and i called a a single word of regret. send you a voice about what you did and what you said back in 2022. well nevertheless, at the moment you still face several years in prison for those statements. why don't you regret what you said? and why did you consider it important to voice it at that particular moment? we're taking the little low, low closet, is it printing you went to the cool hearing when the prosecute you presented evidence that my post was found on technical devices. i said, why even prove that when i've never denied what i said about foods in the russian special military operation, i'm proud of that statement. i'm ready to repeat it any time equal to factor in the hearing. i repeat that 6 or 7 times. i mean, try courtroom, reacted positively to all you know, trying to convict someone for telling the truth. a former minister of justice and the president of the judicial council and deputy prime minister for legislation of people. i fe

we block any sanctions that will harm the national and state interests of slovakia.french authorities have offered renault to produce drones in ukraine. the company confirmed that such an appeal had been made, but emphasized that no decision had been made at this stage. earlier, the head of the french ministry of defense announced plans for a major automaker, together with a small enterprise, to establish production. of unmanned aerial vehicles in ukraine, but the minister did not name specific companies, here is one of them we now seem to know. official exchange rates for today dollar 79 rubles 17 kopecks euro 90 rubles 39 kopecks yuan 11.01. roman, that's all about the economy. thank you. i'll tell you briefly about some of the central topics of the hour. foreign journalists were shown trucks with the bodies of ukrainian servicemen. kiev has been refusing to accept them for the second day. the verkhovna rada of ukraine called on zelensky to resign, and suggested that relatives of missing soldiers stage a riot. eu sanctions against russia have cost hungary over 3 ye

in the eu, let us recall that these negotiations are currently being held up by the position of slovakia and hungary, and nevertheless we hope that these negotiations will be unblocked in the near future. interestingly, by the way, from this sotsis poll on the mood of ukrainians for june , there are in... two important points that concern our membership in the european union in the near future, it is interesting that in the question of what concessions ukraine should make for the sake of what concessions for the sake of the end of hostilities, the refusal of eu membership is in second place, 21% of those surveyed believe that it is possible to give up membership in the european union in order to end the war, this is so, well, actually. a lot is a lot, about one in five, if the war continues to some extent precisely for this reason, on the other hand, we see that if, for example, a referendum were held now for joining the european union or the european union, then 20% of ukrainians who currently live in ukraine would vote against such accession, and 70% would confidently answer yes, so wh

slovakia will block eec sanctions against russia. the art focus of the week is the belarusian song poetry festival in molodechno. news is live at this hour. common memory that unites the governor of the kaliningrad region laid flowers in khatyn. aleksey besprozvannykh arrived in minsk the day before and literally from the plane went to the memorial complex. the head of the russian region emphasized: belarus carefully preserves the memory. heroes and victims of the great patriotic war. and the most important mission of such large-scale structures is not to forget history and the sacrifices that were made to achieve victory, and, of course, to pass on the memory to younger generations. the missing count after 80 years since the victory goes into the millions, and thanks to the work of searchers during the expedition in the mogilev region, the list has been shortened. the remains of a native of the armenian ussr, agabekyan, have been found. in the ussr system was awarded for personal courage and bravery in the performance of military du

the package is blocked by vedgri from slovakia, there is no news yet that they have changed their minds, as has happened more than once, but the discussion of sanctions is still ahead. in general, the summit was supposed to start with a discussion of ukraine, but at the last moment they changed it. the leaders are now talking about the middle east. ukraine is next: we should not expect breakthrough decisions from this summit, there were plans to open the so-called negotiating sections, this, as you know, is a significant step forward on the path. orban, will change his mind i asked if he would cease fire in the event of a ceasefire, he answered, he not only said that no one is stopping it now, about the situation on the battlefield and the needs of ukraine, the leaders will traditionally be briefed by volodymyr zelensky. later to join them online in the european council i was told that the president of ukraine, who was invited to the summit, is not here in person for logistical reasons. i will note that yesterday evening he was in strasbourg, from where he went home, perhaps not least b

the crisis will begin if supplies of gas, oil and nuclear fuel from russia to slovakia are completelytopped. the duty on the export of russian wheat has decreased by more than half since that day, the duty on barley has remained zero, and the duty on corn has decreased. such tariffs were set by the ministry of agriculture, and they will be in effect until the middle of next year. donald trump's tariffs could lead to the slowest growth of the global economy since 2008. this is the conclusion reached by world bank experts. they emphasized that due to trade wars in the june report , the economic prospects of 70% of the state were revised downwards. and there is a high probability that the average growth rates of the world economy in the period from 20 to 27 will be at the minimum of the sixties of the last century, it is emphasized. we may be talking about the second in essence, the cold war, only there will clearly be more than two participants in it. and the official exchange rates for today, the main currencies are again in the minus against the ruble, the dollar 78.60, the euro 89.79

slovakia has put forward conditions for the eu to stop purchasing russian gas. first of all, bratislava is seeking protection for its companies from litigation and the termination of contracts with moscow. this is written about by the publication politika. the republic also demands that brussels compensate for transit costs. while europe will not make concessions, slovakia will continue to block the adoption of a new package of sanctions. as prime minister robert fitze said earlier, slovakia will suffer more than others. from russian fuel. and canada canceled a new tax on tech companies in order to conclude a deal with the united states. earlier, otava's tax initiative outraged donald trump, after which trade negotiations were suspended. the law was aimed at giants such as amazon, google, uber and others. now the parties have returned to dialogue intend to agree on the deal on july 21. at the same time, donald trump still believes that canada should become the fifty-first state of the united states. this was economic news, briefly. when there are more tasks than

slovakia wants guarantees that this will not harm its economy. ursula fondelain discussed this separately with prime minister robert fitz yesterday, our diplomatic interlocutors report that they have reached a certain mutual understanding. high-level contacts will continue in a week and until that moment, as we know from our sources, bratislava has promised to block the eighteenth package, but it is not known how long another decision will be blocked, the question of opening negotiations with ukraine on its accession to the eu. this one. under relentless fire, ukraine is carrying out reform after reform, this is impressive, which is why the commission is in favor of opening the first cluster of negotiations. ukraine has fulfilled its obligations, now we must too, because the accession process is based on merit, and ukraine deserves to move forward. on the air of the hungarian state radio, viktor orbán boasted today that he managed stop ukraine's accession. to the eu, i will note that there is no talk of membership, only of the beginning of the ne

fragmentation, but not fragmentation into multiple parts, here are some rebels. with hungary and slovakiand brussels will do everything possible to initiate or consider, create some strategies to bypass hungary and potentially slovakia, now discussions are actively conducted at the level of the council and legal services, which can give a legal assessment of the possibility of bypassing slovakia, so well, as if people here are preparing for the worst, let's say. i just wanted to talk about this ask you, because we do see the statement, in essence we see this will, but does europe have the resources to maintain the line of support for kiev, even with the reduction of us involvement , including - to think about having resources for our own security. a very good question, the problem is that many here understand that we have no other way out. that is, even if we do not have sufficient resources now to increase spending on defense policy, we really do not have enough of them, so, as you know, there is talk about taking some of the funds that go to support regional funds or recovery and develo

slovakia and hungary opposed the part of the document that concerns energy. in addition, hungary intends to block ukraine's accelerated entry into... citing the results of the referendum, 95% population against this happening at all. zelensky in his latest video address to the european council insisted on lowering the price ceiling for russian oil by half to $30, but they did not listen to him. again, due to objections from budapest and bratislava. the current sanctions against russia were automatically extended for 6 months. by the way, the eu summit, the program of which was announced for 2 days, lasted only one day, this seems to be a new fashion. which appeared after donald trump prematurely left the g7 summit. russia's international reserves as of june 20 amounted to $687 billion 200 million. according to the central bank, they increased by almost $4.5 billion over the week, mainly due to positive revaluation, which is associated with changes in the market value of assets. compared to the beginning of the month , the increase was almost $7 billion. as of

greetings zhenya: the package is blocked by the sin of slovakia, there is no news yet that they have changed their minds, as has happened more than once, but the discussion of sanctions is still ahead. in general, the summit was supposed to begin with a discussion ukraine, but at the last moment they changed their minds. the leaders are now talking about the middle east. ukraine is next: we should not expect any breakthrough decisions from this summit, there were plans to open the so-called negotiating sections, this, as you know, is a significant step forward on ukraine's path. in the european union, but this will not happen because of viktor orban's position. the diplomats who prepared the summit do not believe that it will change in the near future, especially in the context of the so-called referendum held by the hungarian government, and today budapest announced its results, 95% of hungarians are against ukraine's membership in the eu. the problem is the war. if we take ukraine into the eu, we will integrate the war with it. and we do not want to be in the same community with a

among the main buyers were hungary, slovakia and france. in addition to energy resources, the european union also imported metals and chemicals, in the opposite direction mainly medicines, food and feed went. in general, russian exports are estimated at 36 billion euros, european at 31 and a half. car loans in russia continue to cool. over 5 months, banks issued such loans for 478 billion rubles. a decrease compared to last year by almost half, the united credit bureau reports. the high key rate continues to put pressure on the market. the collection of restrictions on issuing loans to citizens with a high debt burden also has an effect. the largest volume of loans is traditionally in moscow and the region, as well as in st. petersburg. the euro has given way to gold as the second most important reserve asset for central banks. the reason was record purchases of this metal, as well as a sharp increase in its value. this is reported by the financial times with reference to the ecb. as a result. gold bars accounted for 20% of world reserves i

next summit, which is currently taking place in brussels, but the prime ministers of hungary and slovakia are against this package. the summit is working on... hello ira, this summit is unlikely to be remembered by ukraine as another success story in its relations with the european union, to some extent even the opposite, the country, engulfed in war, is stuck on its path to eu membership, it began, as you remember, with a rapid and promising, exactly 3 years ago, here at the same summit in june, ukraine received candidate status. poland, whose presidency of the eu council is ending, tried to advance the process, but progress is being held back by viktor orban's veto. he organized a consultative referendum in his country on ukraine's membership and says that 95% of hungarians are against it, but long before the referendum, their prime minister, in principle, publicly, as you remember, promised to hold back ukraine's progress in this direction. orban is blocking the opening of negotiations sections, that is, the actual start of negotiations on ukraine's accession to the eec, it seems that

spend 5 years in prison if you don't apply for registration as an agent, but if hungary, serbia or slovakia tries to pass a law on foreign agent registration, we call it an attack. are actually, it's the long arm of american intelligence, than they are the long arm of the us government, the long arm of this whole class of corporate financial donors. i remember reading about the fascists and one of the criticisms that really resonated with me was that they erased the borders of the state. this was a live broadcast from istanbul of the opening remarks by the head of the turkish foreign ministry, hakan fedan. so the meeting in istanbul, the second round of direct talks between russia and ukraine, has already begun, and now the news agency is reporting that the turkish the delegation in istanbul includes the head of the ministry of foreign affairs, the head of intelligence, and the chief of the general staff. profession together with the foundation defenders of the fatherland must be proactively engaged in this. the plan includes seven blocks of activities, among them: involving in employment p

the prime minister of slovakia rejected nato's demand to increase defense spending from 2 to 5% of gdp year, according to fitts, this is basically impossible. i believe that for us, for slovakia, the most important point in increasing defense spending is the ability to spend this money on dual-use facilities. today we are building a hospital in prešev with money from the ministry of defense, we will build a hospital in bratislava, we are reconstructing the medical facility in ružemberk. if there are reasonable proposals, so what? but if someone thinks that tomorrow we will increase the military budget from 2 to 5%, forget about it, it is impossible. trump demands that nato member countries increase military spending to 5% of gdp, so far only the baltics and poland are ready to fulfill this order. many of them intend to spend even more money on weapons next year. in western europe, they found a loophole, 2-3% will be spent on weapons, the rest on projects dual-use, such as hospitals and roads. a striking example of this approach is fitz's statement. in form. everything seems correct, bu

in addition, tokayev also held talks with the prime minister of slovakia.ert fitz made it clear that bratislava is interested in the supply of kazakh gas, oil and uranium for nuclear energy. among other promising areas of cooperation, mechanical engineering in general industrial production, the technologies of which the slovaks could also share with kazakhstan. visits of the slovak prime minister fitz to uzbekistan and kazakhstan. and before that intensive contacts between hungarian-orban, in the same row slovenia, bulgaria, all this gives grounds to talk about a certain special approach of the average states of the european union with the central asian middle powers, as they position themselves. and in contrast to relations at the behest of brussels, like the eu, central asia format and the like, this format seems less politicized, there are no abstractions here, like gender equality, but there is an understandable practical interest. but not as one-sided as in the case relations with the largest european economies, germany, great britain, france, which ar

slovakia has not yet approved it. at the same time, the european council called for pressure on the russian shadow fleet and increased control over compliance with sanctions. key agreement: president volodymyr zelensky and secretary general council of europe alain berset signed an agreement on the establishment of a special tribunal to try crimes of aggression against ukraine. the document is designed to ensure an international investigation of the crime. russia and to hold the kremlin's top leadership accountable. it is expected that the tribunal will be established in partnership with international organizations and states that uphold the principles of international law. every war criminal must know there will be justice. and this also applies to russia. we are now strengthening legal work in a very serious way. there is a lot to be done. politically, we have already made significant progress. and to the news from the front: the enemy is trying to advance in several areas, most heavily in the donetsk region, near po

victory for his political force there next year, because now he is losing in the ratings, well, slovakianot so impudent, the situation there is more complicated, but... we have to admit that this trend, which was led by president trump, it is so anti-liberal, anti-european, so conservative. it goes after its own interests above all else, it spreads, and and voters, many voters support precisely such politicians, so who will we appeal to with the arguments that you are talking about, we will see, firstly, we have stated that we want to have an accelerated path to europe, and i have heard many times from brussels that this path can be accelerated only when we realize how much we... need to do, we, we are just finishing verification, that is , we are checking, but let's take, let's not even take the eco-criteria that you mentioned, let's say the compliance of legislation for example, and our legislation, we are talking about thousands, thousands of laws and legislative acts that do not meet european standards, which need to be changed, and this is a colossal challenge, i don't really unders

states are already expressing disagreement with this approach, in particular spain, belgium, and slovakia. they insist on some flexibility and the main task. for mark rutte to preserve the unity of the transatlantic alliance and at the same time demonstrate that nato hears the demands that have long been heard from donald trump. and what amounts did nato member countries previously spend on common defense and are they ready for the 5% figure. my colleague jefer umerov has collected important facts. the most powerful military alliance in the world. it was created in the last century immediately after world war ii war to protect europe. from a possible threat from the soviet union, although the ussr no longer exists, the military threat in europe remained, and this time from russia. so in 2014 , after the occupation of crimea, nato countries agreed that in 10 years they would all spend two percent of their gross domestic product on defense. at that time , only the usa, great britain and greece spent more on defense needs, some countries, such as luxembourg, hungary or spain, spent much less

position of many agricultural producers, including romania, including, including france, including slovakiae countries, as western diplomats say, that we simply talk about hungary. well, as about a deceased person, either good or nothing, well, let's say something not entirely good about it, hungary is generally an example of when, without any explanation, hungary. stubbornly blocks even the possibility of starting these negotiations, and the information from european officials who tried to convince orban is completely disappointing for us, you know what orban says: if you want to impose sanctions against us, please punish hungary, punish me, it will only be better for me, for me, as a politician who speaks there, for the advantages of making... hungary the first in front of the european union, it will only add to me, that is, orban is boldly provoking and and and and calling on europeans to use sanctions against him, which he will use to further consolidate his position and achieve another political victory for his political force there next year, or now he will lose in the ratings, well,

excuse me, these problems have periodically arisen and only now, when the prime minister of slovakia is orban's long-time friend fitzo, they are not talked about so loudly, but these problems exist, and in relations with serbia , something has periodically arisen, but the main thing now is not minorities, that is, this sacred cow of hungarian foreign policy will now be protected, but other topics are being exploited. yes, zelensky is a fierce enemy, against whom we must be as... careful, but he is not alone, and there are also fierce enemies in the west, by the west i mean in berlin and in brussels. if we look at the current hungarian campaign, we see several faces, zelensky's face on the posters, the face of fonderlein and the face of manfred weber. orban has long-standing scores with everyone, manfred weber was actually the person who at one time asked orban to leave the european people's party. one party, this family of european parties, which includes the cdu, the csu, which is now the leading political force in the government coalition, weber tolerated orban's antics for a long

by the way, there is a rather interesting situation with the position of slovakia. hungary, by the way, slovakia and hungary vetoed the schedule for waiving russian energy resources. moreover, they categorically do not agree to give up the oil that they receive through the druzhba oil pipeline. so in this situation , it looks like europe will find it extremely difficult to hold productive negotiations on the 18th package. yes, actually, and as for nuclear technologies, france also has its position there, because it is she who is the main one at the moment holder of the main contracts with rosatom, both for the supply of uranium and for the actual spent nuclear fuel, its disposal, so... let's be realistic, i think that the 18th package will be quite difficult to approve. thank you for your clarifications. oleg penzin, executive director of the economic discussion club, was in touch, we are waiting to see if we can wait for the results of the meeting of the group of seven, the leaders of the group of seven in canada. perhaps there will really be a joint decision, alth

last time you returned to slovakia not alone, the belarusian border guards gave you a german shepherdpy, please tell me how the further fate of the dog named zorya, zora, zorka, which. i received from the border guards of the belarusian command smargoni, she lives, she is very smart, i sometimes tell her: you are smarter than me, you will outsmart me, but there was such a little bit of bad luck that our employee ran into her a little bit, yes, but there, then she had an operation and so on and so on, but having survived. i came simply to sit out, no, i will do everything so that our relations are at the highest level, so that they make sense, so that they help us be friends. a talk show in which famous people answer tricky questions from the younger generation. and tell me, how did you become a singer? my friend, people's artist, nikolai skorikov called me. and he said that mulyavin was recruiting in 198. cast, remember your first visit to minsk, what impression did you have of the bolshoi theater? i first came to minsk in 2008, when i was traveling to another country, yes from russia

a massive number of people in slovakia and that's backed up by the public opinion polls ship pro russian for boots and views under strongly anti bands are right. so when i speak up the truth openly, unlike many of the politicians in the senior positions of power, i have an incredible number of people supporting me. take the presidential elections. i was already given as i'm on public television a week before the 1st round and even then i managed to get 12 percent of the vote to the situation and slid back. it is different from the czech republic goal compared to other western european nations for that matter. and of course, there were lots of supporters who came out to the court earrings. some people even bring me flowers and so all the up, the, the just thinking of her such a pretty jessica company is in the 2020 full presidential campaign. if i remember correctly, you actually came in the top 3 in the 1st round of voting. considering the obstacles that were put in front of you ahead of the folks to it shows the strength of the support you had. but you are not the only politician in eur

as i say in slovakia i'm always right score was because your mom talk but if you proud. yes, just as i'm actually talking to you and i called, hey, a single word of regret, send you a voice about what you did and what you said back in 2022. well, nevertheless, at the moment you still face several years in prison for those statements. why don't you regret what you said? and why did you consider it important to voice it at that particular moment to a good ticket? the whole of the plastic is a piece of the ones that the cool harry, when the prosecution presented evidence that my post was found on technical devices . i said, why even prove that when i've never denied what i said about booted and the russian special military operation? i'm proud of that statement. i'm ready to repeat it any time you can factor in the hearing. i repeat it, it's $6.00 to $7.00 times. i mean, try, courtroom, reacted positively. you know, trying to convict someone for telling the truth, the format minister of justice present to the judicial counsel and deputy prime minister for legislation of peo

together with slovakia, we vetoed the council's decision. and this is 40% of ukrainian imports.day's visit of zelensky himself from electricity to austria began with an embarrassment. he was in such a hurry to greet president vanderbelin that he forgot his wife in the car, which is why she was late for the greeting, and then, when it started to rain, he did not even offer her an umbrella. the ladies had to to share one between two, and even hold it themselves. the austrian press immediately noted zelensky's bad manners, and the austrian opposition, which actually won the majority in the elections. in relation to ukraine as a whole is absolutely irresponsible for a country that has enshrined neutrality in its constitution. in recent years, billions of taxpayers' money have directly or indirectly flowed from austria to this ukraine in order to prolong a senseless war. zelensky again spoke about weapons, for the first time confirmed, that israel transferred one patriot anti-aircraft missile system to kiev, although it is old and in need of repair, and therefore the system, accordin
