has become even more powerful over the past 24 hours, the wind and snowfall have intensified, ostref is completely cut off from the outside world, the airport is completely closed , sea traffic has been stopped, trains and intercity buses are not running, this morning an avalanche almost covered the traffic police crew who were rescuing those stranded on the highway for motorists. in direct contact with sakhalin by telephone, our correspondent, elena zhenchenko, elena, greetings, what is the situation in the region at these moments? hello colleagues. the situation in the sakhalin region is still tense, let me remind you that a state of emergency has been in effect in the sakhalin region for 24 hours, visibility on the roads is zero, wind gusts reach 24 m/s. by this moment, in yuzhno-sakhalinsk, in several parts of the city, heating points for people have been organized. in the north of the city, this is the planning district of novoallexandrovsk, and everyone who is caught in bad weather on the way goes there. there they can contact

the local cultural center raduga, hot drinks, cots are prepared for them , everything to wait out the weather, wait out the bad weather, there is also something in the south of the island where to go, a heating point, they placed it in the village of khomutovo in the local administration. in yuzhno-sakhalinsk there is a volunteer landing force from among caring islanders, this is 60 people in all- terrain vehicles. and today, for example, they delivered a team of doctors to the railway hospital to their place of work. i would like to note that at the moment, of course, the hardest thing is for the ambulance staff. there are 18 brigades operating on the line. the day before they had already rescued and taken to the hospital a patient with a stroke, today a burglar in the village of dalnya, the medical team traveled on foot. now

... everything is fine, the woman in labor was taken to the maternity hospital, part of yuzhno-sakhalinsk is still without power supply, traffic on city roads is limited, public transport has not been running for the second day, the airport is closed, about 60 flights have been delayed, both for departure and arrival , colleagues, thank you, our correspondent was from snow-covered sakhalin. at these moments , investigators and criminologists are working at the site of the il-76 crash in the belgorod region. it is necessary to collect all the debris that can be found, they scattered over a huge area. experts are also looking for the bodies of the dead. the plane was shot down the day before; it was carrying 65 prisoners of the ukrainian armed forces for exchange. there were also nine crew members on board. they served in the orenburg military transport regiment, the commander was a native of tambov. regional governors spoke about this. the russian defense forces named what happened. terrorist attack and emphasized that

the kiev regime knew about the transport of captured militants. western politicians and the press reacted with restraint to the terrorist attack in the belgorod region. us authorities, for example, stated don't know enough to draw conclusions. but in ukraine itself, the media and politicians got confused in the comments. in just a few hours they managed to go from triumph to complete denial of their guilt. the topic will be continued by victoria koroleva. the western press is confused at first. the kiev media solemnly shout about another military success, and then in a hurry burn bridges. it turned out that the vsushniki shot down a russian plane with ukrainian prisoners of war on board. but the kiev regime is in no hurry to apologize; this is not the first time it shifts the blame for the bloody massacre on moscow. pressed against the wall, the ukrainian general staff decided to act contrary to common sense. crazy statement, quotes the financial times. the ukrainian armed forces will continue to take destruction measures. delivery vehicles, control

the airspace to destroy the terrorist threat, including in the belgorod-kharkov direction. the head of the kiev regime did not confirm the death of the military, but in a belated appeal... he said that the sbu had begun an investigation, in general, he again had to blush on camera, in first of all to the patrons, because military experts have already suggested that the plane was shot down by american or german missiles. the white house has already reacted to the terrorist attack, modestly and distantly, however, as always when the guilt of the kiev regime is obvious. we've seen reports of this, we're trying to get more information, but it would be imprudent for me to speculate and i just don't know. how true this news is, you see, the ukrainians say one thing, the russians say another, and we simply don’t know enough to comment on it. at the same time, the relevant committee of the us senate approved a bill on the transfer of income from frozen russian assets to ukraine. now the document must be adopted by both houses

of congress, the final point will be biden’s signature. the european hosts are also not wasting any time. great britain offered to buy taurus missiles from germany in order to transfer even more of its own to kiev. according to barel, the current defense spending of the european union is not enough; the diplomat apparently does not care how many new victims there will be because of this. victoria koroleva, news. powerful explosions occurred last night the night before in ukraine. in odessa, residents have heard the roar several

times in recent hours. fires broke out in the city. it is already known what was among the targets. local authorities say one of the explosions occurred at an industrial plant. it received significant damage. similar messages came from the kharkov region and kharkov itself. ukrainian media have not yet provided details. in the southern donetsk direction, the russian military destroyed the fortifications of the ukrainian armed forces to pave the way for our attack aircraft. powerful the volleys were fired at the positions of the militants by the crew of the gvozdika self-propelled howitzer. it is called an artillery sniper rifle. our war correspondent eduard punigov went to the positions along with the soldiers. in the south-donetsk direction today. the vostok grouping is preparing for the next mission, the target is a fortified point of the armed forces of ukraine,

not far from ugledar, our film crew is offered a ride on a formidable gun, the vozdika is a very fast, maneuverable howitzer that can drive up anywhere, deliver a series of strikes and... shortly before arriving at the planned point we are asked to leave the carnation, it is too dangerous to go further, the crew goes to the so-called red zone, where there are many drones and enemy artillery is actively working. a short pause to adjust the target coordinates and a new shot, after a series of volleys the driver immediately turns the car around and presses on full throttle, the task is successfully

completed, you can return to the shelter that has been prepared in the forest belt, experts call the carnation the sniper rifle in the world. firing range about 15 km, the installation is valued for its simplicity , reliability, well, firstly, it is passable, well, maneuverability, speed, well, 60 can be accelerated, why is speed important, especially for you to avoid enemy shelling, the crews of this unit were shelled many times, the soldiers came here mostly from transbaikalia, everyone constantly supports and covers each other.

over russia, this is clearly demonstrated by opinion polls, this opinion was expressed in an interview with the news by the director of the foreign intelligence service sergei naryshkin. he commented western statement about russia's plans to attack nato. vamnashkina is an information war to justify hybrid aggression against our country. the purpose of such fake news is to intimidate moscow and, with the prospect of an armed conflict with the alliance, force it to abandon the goals of the special operation. france is abusing its powers as president of the un security council. this statement was made by deputy representative of russia dmitry polyansky. according to the diplomat, paris’ refusal to hold an urgent meeting on the il crash is a clear an attempt to buy time for the kyiv. regime, russian foreign minister sergei lavrov said: ukrainian officials could not have been unaware

of the preparations for a prisoner exchange, which once again proves that kiev is using terrorist methods. more details from the head of our american bureau, valentin bogdanov. a busy trip by the russian delegation led by the minister of foreign affairs, and an equally busy press conference, which, of course, began with the main questions, with questions about the main news today.

it’s arranged just as it should be, just like that recently, hillary clinton, recalling that period, said that we should not have agreed to hold elections, as a result of which hamas won, and if we agreed, then we had to do everything to ensure that those we needed won, that’s the same to the question of a democratic system, for a democratic system, for the bold step of democracy, then the americans began to pass it off. the event of the so-called arab spring, later there was the ukrainian maidan, well, everything came to the point that today this very

conversation, apparently confidential even back then a moment that is hardly possible between representatives of the united states and russia, i asked sergei lavrov at what level the bilateral relations of the united states of our country are now, the minister replied that at a very low level, in fact, everything is limited to simply interaction in the sphere of functions.

europe is all against you , well, almost all of it, just like in his time napoleon gathered europe against us under his banner, just as hitler did the same, put most european countries in the ranks of the wehrmacht to fight against the russians, against the soviet union, just as america is now again under the banner of the nazis, now in the person of zelensky, has gathered all of europe very carefully. makes sure that no one takes any steps to the side; relations between washington and moscow began to rapidly deteriorate after the defiant actions of the obama administration, then hillary did not become president in 2016, and donald trump was literally accused of being an agent of the kremlin , in fact,

then they began to expel russian diplomats en masse, sergei lavrov to press conference today recalled these circumstances. but there is a feeling that some people here in the west are not averse to playing this card again, or at least testing the possibility of whether this card can be played, one of the journalists, either jokingly or seriously, asked the minister foreign affairs of russia and this question , let’s listen, i would like to know whether in these couple of days you managed to meet with former president donald trump or members of his campaign headquarters, have you already written about this, but not yet. well thank god because i'm with him i didn’t meet, of course, with trump or any of the us presidential candidates, sergei lavrov did not meet, russia does not interfere in the internal affairs of america, this three-day visit of our delegation has come to an end, many bilateral meetings, well as for where you started, the date of the

security council meeting on the il-76 disaster, that is, this. information that this meeting may take place in the coming days, perhaps it will happen on friday, but in any case the time will still be clarified, but the french did not act as sergei lavrov expected, he still expected that, unlike the anglo-saxons, they would more closely adhere to the role of chairman in the security council predetermined by them, but this did not happen. valentin bogdanov and ivan utkin, host and headquarters. the yemeni houthis announced the start of an operation against the us fleet in the gulf of adam. according to representatives of the movement, the first clash with the american navy has already occurred. a warship that was covering two commercial cargo ships came under attack. he was amazed ballistic missiles. at the same time , the us central command claims that none of the three missiles launched by the houthis

on the import of russian aluminum will not be included in the thirteenth package of eu sanctions, the financial times writes about this, citing anonymous sources. the demand came from poland and the baltic republics, but to satisfy it didn't. instead, brussels chose to expand the list of individuals and legal entities, in which it plans to ban entry and freeze assets. however, the other day another well-known western media and politician wrote that a ban on russian aluminum is being actively considered. well, the market after that. i got worried, metal quotes immediately soared by $100, but then they corrected noticeably, apparently, traders are still inclined to the financial times version that there is no ban. well, at
