the museum of the reserve and supplemented by the russian president. for example, he tells guests about the pavlovsky music station, not so much a railway station, but. revolutionary, cultural landmark, we can say that at that time european train stations were also used, so it was not particularly original, but it was more beautiful and better, the first would be the first bucksam in general, well, yes, well, the first railway, during the excursion these shots attract attention, this is generally this. already in the evening, when the heads of state gather at the konstantinovsky palace, vladimir putin will explain that the cultural program is not only a pleasant educational leisure activity, it is also an excellent opportunity to discuss pressing issues in an informal setting, so i noticed that during even these

historical excursions, moving from hall to hall, each of you with each other, well, i’m in we also talked in detail about current affairs. the region completely came under the control of baku, since then ilham aliyev and nikol pashinyan, as expected, could communicate in spanish granada, in belgian brussels, but they met in st. petersburg, sat next to each other in the amber room, however, in the general photo in the catherine palace everything -they kept

the distance. but on the imperial porcelain, his leader was demonstrated already in peterhof, as it turned out, they were nearby... all peoples and states connected through century. resident guril, for your attention, a chuvash girl, and this is a kyrgyz sultana. this past year has been exceptionally active for the cis. trade turnover between the countries showed steady growth, plus 2% over 10 months. in june, they signed a free trade agreement and

battles for georgievka and maksimilyanovka. our special correspondent, stanislav nazarov, is on this section of the front along with the soldiers. we enter the liberated marinka in the dark at dawn. the movement of armored vehicles or vehicles will attract the enemy's attention. walking small.

the fighting is already going on outside the city, our attack aircraft are taking the enemy trenches, the distance to the enemy is less than 2 m, the fire is almost point-blank, there is, there, shot, more, tell the soldier, if there is, let them throw more, let them shoot, ours shoot, get up, rewind, wounded, they have a 200th lying around when we were filming this report in the marina with colleagues of battalion commander troshin, from the fifth motorized rifle brigade. who could not 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 maringa itself, that is, the exit to the dam, and from the penultimate house to the outermost 150 m of clear space, that is, people are like in tire. had. choose the moment and make a breakthrough in order to gain a foothold in this house, thanks to the infliction, infliction of fire damage, aviation, artillery, and we, under this all, began to move for the assault, set up smoke , ran under the smoke, the enemy, that is, he caught the enemy in i was taken aback, they were sitting in the basement, but we see that it was hit, now there’s just smoke there, now it will clear, we’ll see later.

leads to the following results: there are a lot of foreign trophies that have been damaged;

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 also accompanies two wheeled vehicles, apparently of some kind of foreign manufacture, now you saw a hit on the vehicle, here it is, smoke, they found french equipment, or when they found it, it doesn’t matter whose? and it doesn’t matter if something comes from the enemy’s side, it is immediately ready for absolute destruction, during the capture the last house in marinka , there is a tense situation in the forward command post.

vostok 100 when ready, one fire. now , after taking the city, our units are pushing the enemy out of the forest belts. marinka 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. stanislav nazarovich, andrey rudenko, oleg bondarenko, news, city of marenko, donetsk people's republic. over the past 24 hours, according to defense data, the military repelled three attacks by the ukrainian armed forces in the kupinsky direction and another in the krasnolimansky direction. in these unsuccessful offensive attempts, the enemy is losing hundreds of militants killed every day. in turn, the russian armed forces as a whole are successfully advancing in

all directions. sergei shaigu stated this during the final conference call of the defense department and i will emphasize. that our army has fulfilled the main goal for 2023. the main efforts in the past year were focused on achieving the goals of the special military operation. the main one is to disrupt the loudly declared counter-offensive of the ukrainian armed forces by ukraine and its nato allies. this task has been successfully completed. several determining factors contributed to this. creation of an effective system of defensive lines. high combat effectiveness of all units, reliability and effectiveness of russian military equipment, and above all, skillful and decisive actions of the defenders of the fatherland, who selflessly ensure the security of the country and its citizens, we remember every comrade in arms who gave their lives in fulfilling the tasks assigned by their homeland. your

professional holiday, military air defense day. our anti-aircraft gunners spent the day before on combat duty, protecting the sky from enemy drones, missiles and bombs. their work in the south of the dpr was observed by eduard punigov. these shots were taken in the southern donetsk direction. denitschiki of the vostok group repelled the next attacks of the ukrainian armed forces. shot down two guided aerial bombs, which presumably flew towards the city of mariupol, in which at that moment about... the tor anti-aircraft missile system covers the sky over donbass around the clock. dents and holes all over the body indicate that this vehicle is a combat vehicle; the crew repeatedly came under fire. the armor protects the equipment, so we continue to work accordingly. this crew has hit 86 targets: missiles,

rocket launchers, kamikaze drones and drones. all the equipment is very nato, one might say. burns well in the fields, gets stuck, and we we move calmly. together with the crew, we go to the starting position. monitoring of air targets is carried out constantly, day and night, the crew understands perfectly well that this installation is one of the most desirable targets for the ukrainian armed forces, so the crew constantly changes its location and never stays long in one place. the enemy radar recognition system automatically locks on air targets within a radius. there are no objects, if birds are flying, we observe the mark, take its accompaniment, and these mobile crews are working on the line of combat contact, man-portable anti-aircraft missiles we see that the sky is clear, there are no flying igla complexes, they cover assault units, shoot down low-flying helicopters and planes. since we are working

directly with infantry, they made a slight rustle somewhere, the response flies by, we fired somewhere. the manpads platoon commander igla came here from blagoveshchensk, signed a contract for a year and a half on the front line, was seriously wounded, but still returned to the front. all the guys here are mine, so i won’t abandon them, and since i became a platoon commander, now, as they say, they are behind me, even on their professional holiday, all air defense crews are on combat duty, ready to repel any attack. eduard pungov, alexander botkin, lead the south donetsk direction. meanwhile, in ukraine they are preparing. sending disabled people of the third group to meat assaults, that is, people, for example, without one eye, kidney or lung, this is just another point in the odious mobilization bill. the document turned out to be so scandalous that the leaders the kiev regime has already publicly quarreled among themselves, trying to shift responsibility onto each other. anna voronina will tell you who else will be taken into the armed forces of ukraine. without

one eye, arm or shin, the ukrainian army will still accept you into its ranks, although they would rather drag you into them by force. the method of forced mobilization has already been worked out. now, according to the new law introduced to the verkhovna rada, disabled people can be conscripted in ukraine. fitness for military service is decisive. not a person’s disability, but a military medical commission that determines whether a person is fit for military service or unfit. we want the army to be filled with people who, based on their physical characteristics, can fight. i need people, ammunition and weapons to continue fighting. in other words, it will be possible to recruit into the ranks of the armed forces of ukraine people without a single kidney or lung, with paralysis of the hands, missing fingers, without one eye or without a lower leg. here even fellow party members of the head of the kiev regime are perplexed. exemption from service only for disabled people of the first group, i continue to insist on the right to a deferment for people with disability from the first to third groups. in addition, the new document lowered

the draft age limit from 27 to 25 years, fixed the distribution of electronic summonses, and established a new type of military id; without it , ukrainians of military age cannot count on the help of a doctor, as well as on getting a job. they will block access to banking operations without a ticket and... opens them with posts for mobilization, if you want to pass, get a summons, if you don’t take the summons, you’ll get hit with the butt of a machine gun, you refuse to go through the municipal commission, wait until three to 5 years, according to the new law, and a fine

of about $5.00. here is an attempt to violate all possible articles of the constitution and give a clear signal to everyone who traveled abroad so that they simply do not return. people will quit and withdraw money from their accounts. the networks are already comparing it to slavery. bill. we still need to study it, but i think that such definitions can be applied to it, there is no court, there is no rule of law, nothing related to the challenges that our country faces. it is not surprising that after the news about the introduction bill in the rada, the price tag for a deferment has jumped up and now starts at $15.00; soon, it seems, it could grow significantly, because the kiev regime intends to mobilize about 500,000 people in order to demonstrate at least something to western sponsors. one way or another, there will be demand from them , from zelensky’s team, i mean, yes, from the administration of the kiev regime, one way or another there will be demand in the sense that they promised a lot, took a lot of resources, money, weapons, people ,

intelligence information, but nothing did, before all his gangs tell zelensky that you were ineffective when we gave you everything, so they want to drive as many people as possible to show, no, we are effective, we, from our point of view, also did everything that could, look how many people we have driven, voting on the new... bill , which has already been dubbed a bloody mobilization , could take place on january 10, if it is approved in all readings and receives the president’s signature, then the new rules will come into force by the spring. anna voronina, irina zaborskaya, lead. 12,000 eu citizens and 3,000 cars in just 5 days. statistics from kaliningrad customs, which record an unprecedented rush at the checkpoint on the border with poland. with records broken over the last four years, motorists are ready. stand in long lines just to get into russia on the eve of the new year. marina naumova got acquainted with the motivation of determined european tourists. hundreds of cars with

german, czech, polish, dutch license plates are trying to enter the kaliningrad region. citizens from different european countries ready to stand in line for hours to get to russia for the new year holidays. well, here’s the situation at the border, the guys are trying to somehow get through, the neutral zone there is also clogged, well, that’s it. side of russia, we stand, wait, 6.5 hours to enter the border, we were sixty- third in front of the first barrier, and we waited there for 3.5 hours so that these cars would only enter the polish border, such a rush at the momonova-2 checkpoint there has never been a zhikhodka before, russian customs processes up to 600 cars every day, one car every 2-3 minutes, we want to celebrate the new year in moscow, syager. to speed up

the border crossing process , an additional number of customs officers from other posts have been sent to the mamonovo-2 checkpoint. at the moment, the peak load can be said to have already passed. during these 5 days , the customs post processed about 300 passenger vehicles registered in europe that entered the territory of the kaliningrad region. people from europe to russia now use two-wheeled vehicles in this way. these travelers we didn’t want to lose in the trial. 16-18 hours. after direct flights between russia and european countries were blocked by the european union, kaliningrad became the most convenient transit city to get to relatives and friends for the new year and christmas. these directions are now followed by residents of the northern part of germany, who used to cross by ferry through sweden or finland to the leningrad region. now frobrova airport plays the role of a hub for russian-speaking citizens of european countries. they

come here in their cars. they leave them in paid parking lots; the majority of those who register are german citizens who fly from kaliningrad to moscow, st. petersburg and other russian cities. on december 20 , the holidays began in germany; ethnic germans who moved there from the former republics of the ussr, who are commonly called russians, went on a trip. so, of course, it’s convenient, in fact there’s a flight all over russia, it’s inexpensive, yes, well, for the whole family to fly away it costs 300-400,500 euros. european license plates, passenger vehicles are left on long-term parking to take advantage of domestic russian airlines, we maintain contact with russia, we are even thinking of buying something, just in case, i don’t know, an apartment or a house, we are looking, we have many friends who are also looking for real estate in russia, after the holidays are over at checkpoints in the kaliningrad region
