the snow will melt, everything will dry up, and... you will see an absolutely phenomenal victory, which you have not seen before, but the snow has melted, everything has dried, now it is wet again, the snow has fallen and there is nothing and... and, of course, the americans, they wondering if this should be done further? dmitry peskov answered other questions, including in the field of foreign policy, according to the presidential press secretary, russia is interested in developing relations with egypt, now they are of a friendly, partnership nature, and moscow is looking to establish the same ties counts with the new leadership of argentina. we are interested in continuing to develop

of strict secrecy, but with all amenities. soviet, in every carefully camouflaged dugout where the soldiers are now settling in, i’m watching, you, yes, you have a cleaning schedule, maybe, yes, when you have free time, there aren’t many trips and there isn’t a lot of systematic work, well , how -maintain order at home. the brigade changed its position quite recently, since the front line moved towards the enemy, from here to the combat line contact is about 15 km, now it is relatively calm here, the soldiers are actively preparing for winter, the crews live here... in such dugouts, but in fact it is very cozy here, there are many amenities, for example, here is a tv, a heater, there is even a game console, to live perhaps there is one crew in each dugout; here, for example, a tank commander with the call sign adam lives together

with his comrades. i am here, sleeping, here is my sleeping place, here my gunner sleeps, there is a driver. adam signed the contract immediately after served his military service. he has been in the combat zone since the first days. why did you decide to go, why did you sing like that? i don’t know, i have some kind of patriotism in my blood since childhood and i couldn’t just stay on the sidelines, it’s become much calmer now, what is this connected with, the fact that the enemy is already completely exhausted, and here in our direction is already ordinary mobilized people are sitting there, they themselves are already afraid and don’t want to fight, before the onset of cold weather, every dugout was thoroughly insulated, the soldiers are now continuing to lay... vital communications, water and electricity supply systems. a canteen was also built here, where those on duty prepare food for the entire company three times a day. sometimes azerbaijani cuisine is prepared, that is, sometimes russian, that is, preferences are taken into account,
