the line of combat contact and are fully ready for combat work. at the front line , trenches are definitely being dug in full growth now after the onset of frost, their walls look like stone. with the last volleys of artillery barrage, before actually taking action, the assault groups launch their reconnaissance drone. there is a picture. here are the footage transmitted by his camera of the precise impact of shells fired by russian artillerymen. nearby, a massive artillery preparation is required before each infantry attack; volleys of howitzers firing almost 20 km away hit strong points not only on the first, but also on the second line of defense of the utora ledge, practically none one assault on the positions of the armed forces of ukraine , a scout with the call sign rangefinder tells us, is not complete without taking the tongue, we try to do it as quickly and quietly as possible, often this is...

clearing, collecting those prisoners who either surrender on their own, or the wounded cannot further resist , there are cases that he first surrenders, then they try to commit sabotage during his evacuation, contract soldiers to conscripts, they clearly don’t want to fight, there’s nothing to fight for, when they see heavy fire, on our part, the majority are very reluctant resists. the task of the assault groups, which have advanced several hundred meters beyond the line of combat contact, is to hold their positions until reinforcements arrive. fire support in this, of course, is provided by artillerymen. with intense fire, they do not allow the ukrainian military to transfer additional forces to the battlefield. gun, shot! alexey boranov, alexander malyshev, khalit tankiev. news: line of combat contact in the lugansk people's republic, krasnolimansk direction, serebryansky forestry. on yuzhnodonetskoe direction of the special operation, tanks of the thirty-

sixth army of the eastern group of forces are making way for the infantry in the area of ​​​​the settlements of urozhaynaya and novodonetskaya. the equipment is reliably reinforced with dynamic protection. who has saved crews more than once. our tankers are destroying the ukrainian armed forces' strongholds one after another, not allowing the enemy to relax. eduard punigov was convinced of this. this tankmirovsky east has already hit the yuzhdonets direction more than once. but the dynamic protection installed along the perimeter of the body did an excellent job and saved the equipment from serious damage. and most importantly, the crew is safe and... we are coming and continue to carry out tasks on the line of combat contact. kurgan, i ’m white, watch, ready, one fire, shot,

the crew of this tank is at the front first of a special operation, now its main task is to open the ukrainian armed forces’ strongholds on the border of the dpr and zaporozhye, the combat vehicle takes a position and delivers another blow. the crew understand each other perfectly. the projectile hits the target and the tank quickly leaves the battlefield. you can't stay in sight for long, drones are flying everywhere, who immediately report the danger of artillery to the ssu. well, show me your hand. wait, just turn it a little in the other direction. oh, you see, there was a blow, here is the hole. here are the shots taken in august of this year, the consequences of a kamikaze drone strike on this tank, the rear part was destroyed by an explosion, one of the crew members was wounded in the arm, fortunately, not seriously, the equipment was quickly patched up and is back in service. after that, as they say, we learned from our mistakes, we began

to strengthen the rear part of the tower, made a visor elongated, welded a metal plate, additionally hung dynamic protection on it and... here all the effort is also a plus. a t-72 mechanic with the call sign baun worked on an excavator in civilian life, and then operated a crane at a construction site. he himself made a deliberate decision to sign the contract. his wife and four children are waiting for him at home; his fifth son was born in october. what goals are you working towards, that last one, tell me. then we worked for the last time on the infantry, we worked on closed fires, we stood in a firing position, i, as usual, i i completed the task, brought people, took them away, the guys worked. the tank commander got out. his call sign is khatu, translated from buryat, tough, strong, in civilian life he had an even more peaceful profession in weddings, now he works on one of the hottest sectors of the front. at the front, the situation , so to speak, has already become calm, has calmed down, it is felt that the enemy is beginning

to choke, is experiencing a lack of ammunition, it is felt that we are already going on the offensive, as we roll out more and more often. and more often than not, we don’t give the enemy relax. tanks of the thirty-sixth army are making their way to the infantry in the area of ​​the settlements of urozhainoye and novodonetskaya. it is now obvious that the enemy will clearly not be able to hold these positions for long. eduard punigov, alexander botkin, lead: south donetsk direction. after the failure of the counter-offensive of the ukrainian troops, the united states came up with a new plan to prevent vladimir putin from winning in ukraine, the minister of foreign affairs stated. force accomplices of the kiev regime to die for the sake of the interests of their overseas masters. collective west

actively uses ukrainian neo-nazis. after the collapse of hopes placed on the so-called counter-offensives, washington stopped talking about strategic defeat. conquers, then america will not be able to sit out, but the essence of their approaches does not change, to force their kiev clients to die for the interests of their masters overseas. zelensky’s trip to washington turned out to be empty, as stated by russian ambassador to the united states anatoly antonov. according to him, the head of the kiev regime failed to convince the american authorities that ukraine is more important us security. chapter. "everyone is tired of the beggar from kiev."

our us sub-correspondent, valentin bogdanov, will tell you more about the results of the negotiations in washington. having lost his way in search of 60 billion dollars along the washington corridor and office, zelensky went to the main one, oval. at the entrance to the white house, he eloquently pulled up his pants. biden was understanding and offered to hold on. to be here at the white house today to share some very important messages, thank

you for the invitation, and i would like to thank our american partners for their support, our forces are moving forward, we will successfully defeat russia in the black sea, about the victories of ukraine in the black sea was clearly unnecessary, but it was also impossible not to encourage someone who had prepared so diligently. biden, of course, didn’t have 60 billion for kamina, but he helped as much as he could. "thank you and before the press leaves, hey-hey , shut up for a second, okay, i have one more thing to say, i just signed another agreement to cut defense department spending by $200 million for ukraine, weather a modest tranche, of course won't do it, yeah the american president himself understands this, biden’s nervous smile is understandable, because 200 mil. a package that included ammunition for highmars, anti-radar missiles and shells for howitzers, probably one of

the last ones, the pentagon’s storage bin is almost empty, the state department says. unless the us congress acts to provide additional funding, this will be one of the last security assistance packages we will be able to provide to ukraine. in 3 days, american legislators are on christmas break, and there was and still is no compromise on migration issues. even though we reached an agreement to develop a project, to pass it through the senate, to pass it through the house of representatives before christmas is almost impossible, this does not mean that it is not important, we emphasized the importance of the us border, but i want to remind everyone of the importance of ukraine. they came out to the press conference as strangers, biden looking to the side, and zelensky looking at the pool. when it came to questions, biden did not immediately figure out who needed to answer. "we 'll ask you two questions, i'll ask the first one, i'll i would ask, i wanted to say that i would answer the questions

of the one who first asked them to me, but there was no improvisation, the us president read all the answers from a sheet, ukrainian journalists tried to look into tomorrow, which completely baffled the head of the white house. ukraine will be part of nato, this is not subject to discussion, but we already said in vilnius that ukraine will join nato only when all allies are with it." next year, who will represent ukraine there is also a question. recent anniversary nato summit in washington in footage from the press conference came out with a hint: biden and zelensky are leaving, ermak suddenly appears in close-up on the broadcast. whether biden and zelensky will talk to each other is also a question. while the ukrainian delegation was being received at the white house, in the house rules committee, republicans voted for a resolution that would authorize it.
