of the president of the russian federation, secretary of the security council of the russian federation. nikolai platonovich patrushev, relieved of his post as secretary of the security council in connection with the transition to another job. he continues to work, over the next few days we will inform you where nikolai platonovich will continue his activities. andreyovich belausov, as you know, has been appointed minister of defense. this is where i wanted to be. to explain a little, the budget of the ministry of defense and the security bloc, it was quite recently around 3%, then it grew to 3.4%. and most recently it has grown to 6.7%. this, together with all law enforcement agencies, among which the ministry of defense, of course, occupies key positions, since it is the ministry of defense. is responsible

for placing all orders to industry, this is not a critical figure yet, but we are gradually getting closer, due to known reasons. due to the well-known geopolitical circumstances around us, the situation in the mid -eighties, when this share of spending on the power bloc in the economy was 7.4%. i repeat this again, it is not critical, but it is extremely important and it requires special attention. it is very important to fit the economy of the power bloc into the economy of the country, to write it off so that it... corresponds to the dynamics of the current moment, the second thing that is probably important to note is that today on the battlefield, the winner is the one who is open, more open to innovation, more open to the most rapid implementation, so

it is natural that at the current stage the president decided to have the ministry of defense head a civilian, and this is not just a civilian, but a person who...

is currently being considered, as for sergei kuzhgevich shaigu, he is in the position of secretary of the security council, and will simultaneously be deputy president commission on the military-industrial complex, and he is deeply immersed in this work, he knows very well the pace of production of military-industrial products at specific enterprises, and often visits these enterprises.

based on the results we will understand who we are sending to federal clinic, whom we leave to treat on the spot. rescuers at the scene of the tragedy are working, despite the risk of concrete structures collapsing; work is suspended only during an air raid and shelling; hundreds of area residents arrive at the site, offer assistance, bring food and water for rescuers, and provide hot meals. we brought it. masks, gloves, hot meals, we have hot tea, we have sandwiches for the guys, what else do we have, what the residents and those who are helping clear the rubble now need at the moment, people are responding in the belgorod region, in belgorod, whenever something happens, our whole people unites, so everyone participates, unfortunately, not everyone has the opportunity, and probably not everyone has the need. to come here, but we decided that the guys who are now clearing away the rubble of volunteer rescuers really need our help, so

a new series of attacks came from kharkov. where exactly this happened and what consequences the local media did not specify. explosions in the city also occurred closer to midnight, a little earlier, the same information was received about the situation in mirgorod, poltava region. about detonations were reported in kherson, controlled by the kiev regime. air raid sirens have been heard in five regions of ukraine in recent hours. in the zaporozhye direction , the russian military improved its position in the battles for the liberation of rabotin, and the ukrainian armed forces unit lost the ability to stage surprise attacks. this is largely the merit of one of the attack aircraft, who alone for 3 weeks destroyed the militants and learned about their plans. our war correspondent, stanislav vasilchenko, will tell you how this was done. thousands of mine craters and rockets, hundreds destroyed to the ground houses and piles of burnt equipment. this is what the village of rabotina looks like today, where the fiercest battles are taking place in the zaporozhye direction.

as part of the dnepr group of troops, fighters of the 71st motorized rifle regiment knock out the remaining ukronazis from their positions. the enemy has holed up in the surviving basements in the north of the village and from there, using kamikaza drones, is conducting a remote hunt for our military personnel. however, lately it has become impossible to act suddenly. this monitor clearly shows the territory of rabotin, including the one that is still held by ukrainian neo-nazis. information. almost impossible, the task was to advance as far as possible to the north of rabotin to gain a foothold. the fighter, remaining

unnoticed, came almost close to the enemy positions and held his own for 21 days. in 3 weeks, he managed to capture several radios, an electronic warfare station, mine the paths along which the ukrainian military was advancing and destroy at least twelve militants. the ukronazis had no idea that all this time they were being opposed by only one russian serviceman. they... had no idea at all where they were being shot from, who was holding them, who was blowing them up, they had no idea at 21 days, they didn’t know where they were being shot from, i ... understood this, because when i he picked up their radio, and on the radio i heard everything about their conversations, their points, where and how they were moving. the enemy still discovered bely’s position and sent swarms of drones towards it, but the fighter managed to survive and return to his own. now he is undergoing rehabilitation in the hospital, he has shrapnel wounds, concussion and dehydration, but the task

carried out, thanks to the action of bely , two enemy assault groups, a mortar, and information received through the enemy radio were destroyed. helped to build new tactics and move even further north. while bely was there, he was constantly in touch with us, not only was the enemy literally trampling on him there, that is, he hid and transmitted their communications to us through the station. it was always from him. commander, there is some kind of plan, there is something to do, that is, there was a constant initiative from him to smash the enemy. freeing up work russian soldiers perform heroic deeds every day, which cannot be said about the armed forces of ukraine, according to the words. riflemen, the morale in the ukrainian army is falling, neo-nazis have begun to surrender more often , abandoning their positions without a fight, and this, despite the fact that for kiev rabotin is a strategically important settlement through which the road to takmak and melitopol opens. in any case, this behavior of the enemy only simplifies the work of russian units. meanwhile, the command already knows about the fighter with the call sign belaya and on the local radio wave, where motorized riflemen are informed
