dark when the guests arrive in petergov, but it seems that no one is at all tired of such a cultural march; the leaders react very vividly when they are presented with the service of the imperial porcelain factory, made by order of alexander i, here the nationalities inhabiting russia are depicted, in my opinion, kazakh, yes, but at that time in tashka, you see, it was signed, a resident was smoking, for your attention, what?

format and exchanged on international affairs. direction of the special operation, destroying over 200 militants and continued to build on the successes achieved thanks to the liberation of marinka. now our military is inspecting the outskirts of this strategically important settlement, where they managed to break into and clean out particularly powerful fortified areas of the ukrainian armed forces. and in addition, they provide the opportunity to visit there as a journalist, including

vgtrk special correspondent stanislav nazarov. we enter liberated marinka in the dark; at dawn, the movement of armored vehicles or vehicles will attract attention. we walk in small groups on the streets with damaged equipment, a sub-settlement of the fifth brigade of the first army-donetsk corps , we work from closed firing positions for better camouflage, any rotation here is carried out at early dawn and in the dark. this basement was the last shelter of the ukrainian armed forces.

lying around when we were filming this report in marinka and his colleagues from the troshino battalion commander, from the fifth motorized rifle brigade, no one could yet accurately name the date of the complete liberation of the city ; we met with the tank battalion commander alexander troshin, who personally reported to the russian president about the capture of the city, immediately after leaving the line

of combat contact. the last house is right at the end of the marinka itself, that is, the exit to the dam, and from the penultimate house to the last one. 150 m of clear space, that is, people are like in a shooting gallery, and it was necessary to choose the moment and make a dash to gain a foothold in this house, thanks to the infliction, well, the infliction of fire, by aviation, artillery, and under this all we began to move for an assault, set up smoke, ran under the smoke, the enemy, that is, he caught the enemy. in a surprise they were sitting in the basement and we see that now it’s just that the smoke there will clear, we’ll see later the drone operators watch as one of the militants escapes from the trench leaving his wounded colleagues, the payer retreats from the enemy to the enemy, it’s very difficult for us

to move slowly but surely along 53 to 53 spotters are working in tandem with unmanned aerial vehicle operators right now. attacking these formations often here in the southern donetsk direction leads to the following results. among the damaged equipment there are many foreign trophies; in these footage, taken a few days ago, a french

armored personnel carrier is on fire. the first one can be seen that it looks like an infantry fighting vehicle, which accompanies two wheeled vehicles, apparently of some kind of foreign production. just now you saw a hit on... a car, here it is, smoking, they discovered french equipment, or when it was discovered, it doesn’t matter whose it’s just a mess, if something is coming from the enemy, it’s coming right away. already to absolute destruction, during the capture of the last house in marinka , the situation in the forward command post was tense. our birds have a disorganized position, no? no, this is a german bird, there is a five-minute readiness, let him watch the tank and work in its direction, let’s say there is no massive artillery impact on us, what happened happened back in the summer, the beginning of autumn, they are working more targeted, saving ammunition, the enemy tried to fight for these houses until the last moment. near the dam, one fire. now, after taking the city, our units are pushing

the enemy out of the forest belts. marenka was under ukrainian occupation for 9 years, the city is closely adjacent to the western outskirts of donetsk, it was from here that militants often attacked the center of the dpr capital. the end of the assault on the city was marked by the soldiers of the fifth brigade of the first donetsk army corps, the eighth combined arms army, and the southern group of troops. why should we cover our faces? well as for operational situation in other sectors of the northern military district, the daily losses of the armed forces of ukraine on the krasnolimansky front amounted to up to 150 personnel, more than sixty were eliminated on zaporozhye and dozens more on kupinsky. well, in general, the russian armed forces are successfully advancing in all directions of the special operation, the main thing is that they doomed the notorious ukrainian counter-offensive to failure, sergei shaigu stated this today during the final conference call of the ministry of defense. the main efforts in the past year were with the system of defensive lines. high the combat effectiveness of all units , the reliability and effectiveness of russian
