the consolidation around the ideas of the head of state who call the direct line, show this also applies to his nomination as presidential candidate - noted dmitry peskov. russophobic attacks will continue. and during these russophobic attacks, of course, the main object will be the election campaign itself. there it is very difficult for them to understand the degree of consolidation of society. the degree of public support for their president, even before the start of the election campaign, it is difficult for them to imagine the degree of support that, for example, is noticeable with the naked eye, when you look at these million 300 questions that came, it sincerely amazed me when i i saw a huge number, not just questions, but simply people expressing their support for the president, saying that we support you, how we can help, so... and

there it is impossible to understand, besides, of course, this hybrid war continues, continues against us, in these conditions the election campaign simply cannot help but be an object of attack, but on the other hand, we have learned from all these attacks, have acquired a certain immunity against these attacks, and i am sure that this immunity will work. in turn will be with interest watch the decline in us support for ukraine. according to the president's press secretary, the $200 million aid, which is very modest by washington standards, puts the kiev regime in a difficult position. westerners are, first of all, americans, they really, they have woken up, the question has now arisen in full force, what exactly are they financing.

battery hits not only the fortified areas of the ukrainian armed forces. strange equipment on this section of the front quite a lot, mostly american-made nonsense going around here, they don’t last long, we get caught, we eliminate them. at the tor ledge, assault units are already on the line of combat contact. at the front line , trenches are always dug in full force, now after the onset of frost, their walls seem to be made of stone. with the last volleys of artillery barrage, the assault teams launch their reconnaissance drone. there is a picture, here are the frames transmitted by his camera of the precise impact of shells fired by russian artillerymen. let's go side by side. conducted massive artillery preparation is mandatory before each infantry attack. the howitzer's volleys, firing almost 20 km, hit strongholds not only on the first, but also on the second line

of defense of the utora salient. there has been virtually no assault on a ukrainian armed forces position, the intelligence officer with the call sign tells us. the rangefinder is not complete without taking the tongue, we try to do this as quickly and quietly as possible, but often this is a cleansing operation, collecting those prisoners who either surrender themselves, or the wounded cannot further resist, contract soldiers, conscripts, they it’s clear that they don’t want to fight, there’s nothing to fight for, when they see heavy fire from our side, the majority don’t resist much. the task of the assault groups is to advance several hundred meters beyond the line of combat contact, to hold occupied positions until... the arrival of reinforcements, the artillerymen with intense fire do not allow the ukrainian military to transfer additional forces to the battlefield, a gun, a shot! alexey baranov, alexander malyshev, khalid tankiev. news: krasnolimansk direction, serebryansky forestry. 24

rooms with a special climate regime, a new storage facility for the collection was opened in tula. dozens of local museums, thousands of valuable exhibits will be stored under conditions of a certain temperature and humidity. in addition, tula restorers received new opportunities and equipment for their painstaking work. the large museum move was observed by vitali motorin. in this section we store our most valuable works of art, paintings by aivazovsky, shishkin and sirov, and next to them are paintings by masters from germany, italy, france and holland.

here we have keveras from 812, a headdress that could protect the head even from a saber strike. valuable items of ethnography and weapons, rare books, paintings, graphics, sculpture, and for each category of exhibits in this metropolis there is its own home and its own unique storage conditions. all rooms here are equipped with an automatic fire extinguishing system, and this is a modern infirmary for masterpieces. there have never been such restoration opportunities in tula, in the workshops of the new storage facility and professional microscopes and special lamps, there is even such a unique table, the objects lying on it are in an absolute vacuum, there is even a special stove for heating glue, an ultra-sonic dirt and dust cleaner, we must attract the younger generation and

attract maybe more experienced even restorers here to was it or... on such a basis, it’s probably already possible. representatives of the museum community asked the head of the region, alexei dyumin, to create such a repository fund in the tula region, since many of the 230,000 exhibits of tula museums were previously stored not in special, but in adapted premises. the governor approached the president of the country with this initiative, who supported it. the long -awaited storage facility, which meets all modern requirements, includes safety, climate, humidity and many other technical solutions that are aimed at preserving and storing these unique masterpieces, i want to say that this is another step in the development of the museum business, since today... a large move of art objects to a new and modern building in the third museum capital will start next

year and will last from three months to six months, but the most important thing is that all these special sections, where entry is allowed only for curators and restorers, are only the first part of the new funds, the second is about 1000 km of exhibition space. having lost his way in search of 60 billion dollars through washington corridors and offices, zelensky went to the main one, the oval. at the entrance to the white house, he eloquently

pulled up his pants. biden did not condemn, he suggested holding on. i don't want you to lose hope. a year and a half ago, a guest in an evergreen sweater with a small trident might even have joked something in response, but now zelensky is mourning black, buried in pieces of paper, like a diligent person. before the reporters leave us, sing, wait a second, okay, i have more to say, i just signed an executive order

allocating another $200 million in department of defense funds to ukraine, the money will come quickly. tranche, of course, will not make the weather so modest by the standards of kiev’s appetites, but the american president, what called without illusions. president biden: would you like to see ukraine win this war? at the same time, the 200 million dollar package announced by biden, which included ammunition for highmars, anti-radar missiles and shells for howitzers, probably one of the last, the pentagon’s moneybox is almost empty, the state department says. in 3 days , american legislators have their christmas break, but there has been no compromise on migration issues. in general, the green ship is in vain.

we need clarity on what exactly what we are doing in ukraine, where exactly the taxpayers' money is going, we need to strengthen our borders, at the moment none of this has been done. however , after the negotiations in the white house, everything began to look even more confusing, gone are the days when the owner of the guest took fatherly care, they came out to the press conference as strangers, biden looking to the side, and zelensky - our republicans, olga skabeeva, caused biden’s particular dissatisfaction. in the last 24 hours , liberal american media quoted her

comment on 60 minutes: president the usa read it a lot, and gave it away. russian supporters in moscow celebrated when republicans blocked an aid package to ukraine last week. the host of the kremlin show literally said the following. i quote: well done, republicans, this is good for us, this was said in russian. here it is, that same fragment. they are doing well so far, the republicans, they are holding on, they suit us. and even mcconnell, well done, old man. biden and i are the same age, old age does not spare both of them. both often find themselves in awkward situations. for example, right during zelensky’s speech, the us president suddenly decided to blow his nose. and who could stop him? the embarrassment did not end there; when it came to questions, biden did not immediately figure out who

to ask and who to answer. “we will ask you two questions, i will ask the first, i will ask, i wanted to say that i will answer the questions of the one who asks me first. however , there was no smell of improvisation. biden read from the sheet, while the criteria that in washington called a victory, even in biden’s interpretation are becoming more and more blurry. ukraine still exists, it’s already a success, help from america is still continuing, at least in some form, it’s already done.” home preparation, a question about nato from ukrainian reporters, sounded somehow completely helpless and ridiculous. ukraine will be part of nato, this is not subject to discussion, but we already said in vilnius, ukraine will join nato only when all allies agree with this. the nato summit in washington next year, who will represent ukraine at it is also a question.

that you are creating an authoritarian state, what do you have to say to all these critics? i would say to these people from the government and these mayors: think about the war, think about protecting our people, and don’t travel around the world every day, it’s better to go to the front. zelensky apparently did not think about all the ambiguity of such statements made from a washington studio. what exactly

are we funding? have you ever thought about this? his much-touted summer offensive was embarrassingly ineffective. zelensky refuses to allow elections in next year. how do you like this kind of democracy? he imposed martial law in ukraine, he forbade speaking russian, the native language of millions of his own citizens. that is, the event horizon for zelensky is clearly delineated . if trump returns to the white house, everything will be different with him. trump jr. confirms this. and here the republicans also rely on their leader; trump’s wall can only be built by trump, not biden. it's a big day in congress for biden's presidency. the full house of representatives will vote on a resolution that orders the opening of an impeachment investigation. early

resignation of the case, of course. it won’t reach, but in terms of the rating of the us president, weakened by zelensky too, this is another powerful blow. valentin bogdanov, ivan udkin and evgeny samsonov, news from new york.
