merit and the merit of the people who believed him. the topic of a special military operation is in the spotlight, the heroes of russia declare their support for the current president, we know that the supreme one is always for us, and we want to say that the army and navy are for our supreme commander, together with him we are strong, together we will win, thank you, and the musicians who... regularly go to the combat zone to support the fighters. when i went to donbass for the first time a year and a half ago, for some moment i had the thought of not telling anyone about this, you know, like i later thought that it was hypocritical, of course, you know, well, so as not to promote myself, something... then in such a doof, and then i realized that no, this is just hypocrisy, it is necessary to talk about what is on that moment, especially and an alternative position, including among cultural figures and so on, when we meet with students, with guys, in general throughout the country, i will formulate for myself.

of this decision of the president, who are for, unanimously, cheers, traditionally , united russia and another parliamentary party, fair russia, a patriot for the truth, have decided to support the current president and not nominate their candidate. i am sure that with such a large united team, the team of our president, we can handle any task.

thousand voter signatures. this work will take place in all regions of the country. ilzeta khramtsova, ekaterina zakharova, diana makurina, nadezhda nefedova, mikhail verenkov, dmitry timofeev. news. russian long-range bombers tu-22 m3 completed a planned flight over the neutral waters of the baltic sea. the ministry of defense reported this. long-range aircraft flew in a group with su-30 fighters. the flight lasted about 5 hours. at certain stages of the route , the bombers were accompanied by foreign military aircraft. the ministry of defense noted that the flight took place in strict accordance with international rules for the use of airspace. russian border and finland. since the opening of checkpoints in the leningrad region and karelia , about 5,500 people have crossed. on friday , finnish authorities again closed two checkpoints, and earlier than promised. there were huge queues to enter russia, but now people are not being allowed through. many cannot get home.

dmitry akimov found out what was happening at the border. empty road closed barrier on december 16 on the russian-finnish border. almost no one, she was left from... thousands of russian citizens did not have time to get home, the day before people lined up in a huge queue from the finnish side. the authorities of the country of suomi promised to close the border at 8:00 pm, but did so in the morning. from 10:00 in the morning, the finnish side did not let a single car through, either into finland or into russia, they simply blocked everything, put up a fence and did not let anyone through. at about three o'clock in the afternoon they began to approach us. finnish border guards with the military and the police ask to leave the border crossing area. anna has a sick child in russia, but the finnish border guards stood up as a wall at the border and did not let anyone through. people waited for more than 13 hours

and were forced to return to finland. on a journey that previously took 40 minutes, russian citizens are now forced to spend more than a day from helsinki on a ferry, which is still needed. get tickets, and then go home via estonia. everyone was sure that we were about to leave, no one even thought that we would be detained, and that the borders would be closed illegally, for me this is completely crazy, what is happening here, i say, how am i supposed to get there now, i don’t understand, i say, i'm going home to visit my relatives. except in addition, many finns were also trying to get to russia, fill up the car with cheap fuel or get a manicure for the new year; appointments with the dentist and appointments at beauty salons ran out in a couple of days.

january. dmitry akimov and sergey fodeev. russian-finnish border. serbia elects skubschina ahead of schedule on sunday. 250 seats in parliament are claimed, on the one hand, by the ruling coalition led by president vučić’s progressive serbia party, and on the other, pro-western and patriotic.

a teenager killed 10 people at a school, and a young man shot eight passers-by from a car. after this, the opposition organized mass marches, and by the elections it took shape as the serbia movement against violence. we know very well who held these processions around the country. this is a very strong pro-western coalition.

fought more than ever , i feel it in the people, the people felt the danger that those who are the worst want to rule again and want to return serbia to the past, we will not allow them to return serbia to the past, we want to see serbia in the future and see a future for our children. for a new generation of voters, vučić added humor to the election campaign campaign, he collaborated with his tiktok impersonator delibor golubovich and even took part in a humorous tv show with him. here is your double, good evening, good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen,

excuse me, but who are you? i am the president of serbia , i have an important message for you, who are you sitting here and not signing anything, signing, serbia cannot stop, vucic repeated his slogan and posted videos where he drives around his beautiful country in a used car, but this time during the campaign to the assembly they broke away from the coalition allies, but this... it didn’t work out to unite, the westerners on the right were not on the right path of radical patriots,

so vucic’s coalition will apparently still have to solve the country’s problems. in general, serbia's domestic foreign policy will not change. the only thing is that they will have to resolve the issue of kosovo’s independence, and , accordingly, relations with the european union.

december 17 is a memorable date in the military history of russia, december 17, 17. ochakov, russian troops of prince potemkin took the turkish fortress of ochakov on the black sea coast. greboedov's catchphrase from the time of the ochakovskys' conquest of crimea immortalized the glorious victory of the commander catherine ii. the capture of the fortress allowed russia to finally establish itself in the northern black sea region. russia

well, engineering support tasks are the largest list of tasks in general in the armed forces, practically 10 tasks, we must complete them in any condition, front-line soldiers - we think this is the most beautiful task, engineers, but in terms of importance we have all the tasks , they are all important, not only the creation of a system of engineering barriers, but also the fortification equipment at the line of the position, as well as...

i suggest not to walk too long , let’s take a look at one firing point, then we’ll go further, see how the regiment commander called himself, and then we’ll go further, km underground, in the event of an attack, sometimes it is necessary to go out and, accordingly, defeat the enemy, an additional exit is made, the shooter comes out, inflicts fire damage and then... accordingly hides, that is , like this, yes, yes, here one of the types of shooting cells is presented in the form of a drone cap, at the moment here the service is organized and carried out, yeah, by the regiment’s security units, which means they’ve equipped it a little, they’ve installed glass, that is, if necessary, it’s knocked out and it’s hit by fire, well, that is , far below that, yes, yes, yes, the position. good
