, hitting critical energy facilities, airfield infrastructure of ukraine. warehouses of fuel arsenal of western aviation assets, destruction and artillery ammunition. all the details at our correspondent denis, who joins the facts live. denis, what have you managed to achieve on the fronts? well, let's start with the successes of the southern group . there are data for the past week, yes, in the area of ​​responsibility.

advancing towards the center of pokrovsk, there are battles in golitsynovka. as a result of the active actions of the units of the group of troops-center , the settlements of orlovka, kamyshovka, nikolaevka and novozhelannaya donetsk people's republic have been liberated. a defeat was inflicted by the formation of seven mechanized, two jaegers, airborne.

we go down even further south, the ukrainian army is in a difficult situation now near ugledar, the militants are getting worse and worse with supplies there, our troops have liberated the logistics hub of konstantinovka, they are increasingly actively shooting at the highway to ugledar, they have come close to an important line from the north, a water line from the south of pavlovka, so for the ukrainian armed forces an extremely unpleasant situation is emerging, pincers, in a word, in the past week on this front kiev has lost almost 900 people, this week one of the most powerful massive strikes on critical infrastructure of vysu, in addition to unmanned cruise missiles, hypersonic missiles "kinzhal" were used. critically important energy and airfield infrastructure facilities of ukraine, fuel depots,

an arsenal of western aviation weapons and artillery ammunition were hit. in addition, workshops for the production of unmanned aerial vehicles, storage sites for unmanned boats, temporary deployment points of units of nationalist formations of foreign mercenaries. well, by the way, about mercenaries, it is getting harder and harder for them to earn money in ukrainian. they obviously thought it would be different, easy money, but as a result, only in the outgoing week at least 15 soldiers of fortune were liquidated after our iskander struck the deployment point in krivoy rog. and here in this footage are two mercenaries from colombia. they had already shot, received their fees and went home, but were arrested in venezuela during a layover and extradited to russia. during interrogation it turned out that both fought in the terrorist group.

series of explosions, as reported by local media, the shutdown affected several areas of the city, four explosions were heard

earlier , an air raid alert has been declared in the kharkiv region, it is also reported that the local tractor plant and infrastructure were the targets of the strikes. ukraine will not be able to join the european union until poland agrees to it, polish prime minister donald tusk said today. in this way , he commented on the statement of ukrainian foreign minister kuleba, who recently said that kiev... and warsaw should forget about mutual historical grievances to start building a future together. tusk responded that his country is not ready for such joint work until ukraine admits the guilt of local nationalists in the mass murder.

economic standards, it is a question of standards, i would say, cultural and political, there would be no european union without truth and reconciliation between germany and the french, germany and the poles, until there is such respect for these standards on the part of ukraine, then ukraine will certainly not become part of. at the level of defense ministers, discuss ukraine and military aid to kiev. at the same time, the head of european diplomacy, josep borrell, on the one hand , proposed allowing strikes with european weapons on russian territory. but there is another side, in his logic, all this does not

mean at all that europe is in a state of war with our country. ukraine will decide on its part about the moods at this council, how they can be used, but i think it is ridiculous to say that allowing strikes on russian territory means waging a war against moscow. we are not waging a war against moscow, i think it is ridiculous this is to say, we support ukraine, and ukraine is being attacked from russian territory. the defense ministers of the eu countries are meeting here, among other things, they

will discuss, now for the first time formally , the possibility of sending. instructors to the territory of ukraine, ukrainians are being trained in the eu and great britain, in the eu this is germany and poland. ukraine. germany has been and remains the largest sponsor of ukraine, and i will emphasize once again that people in ukraine can henceforth rely on germany. the same the most applies to the subject area of ​​training. it was passed by 60,000 people, ukrainian servicemen undergoing training in the european union. germany is participating in this project until the end of the year with 10 thousand servicemen. from ukraine, who will undergo training in the country. the first informal negotiations on this issue took place in brussels at the beginning of the summer, then the opinions were divided. if france, the baltic countries, denmark, sweden and poland spoke in favor, then, for example, germany was categorically against. today the netherlands, for example, they suggested all the risks. our

priority is that ukrainian troops should receive training quickly. this is currently happening on the territory of the eu, in great britain. if we are thinking about training on the territory of ukraine, we must first assess what this will give us, and also the risks that this will bring. after all, for example, we know that ukraine is still at risk of air attacks. it is necessary to quickly make all these assessments and then conduct a dialogue. the day before , the heads of the ministries of foreign affairs of the eu countries failed to agree on the possibility of allocating another 5 billion euros from the european peace fund for the armament of ukraine. the issue of arms financing is in the center of attention. as for ukraine, we should once again realize that it is time to invest now, while there are no major expenses planned, but if we do not spend money to support ukraine now, we will have to pay a high price in the future. latvia is doing its homework, fulfilling its obligations to support ukraine. latvia is committed

to spending a quarter of a percent of its gdp on military support for ukraine. joze barel promised, despite the difficulties in negotiations with the united states, to continue funding the promises that the european union has already made to ukraine and accused hungary of being the only country that is against it, but it is known that at least one other country - slovakia - also opposed the transfer of additional money for the armament of ukraine. the hungarian foreign minister announced that he was paying another visit to russia in st. petersburg to hold talks the official tourist portal visit petersburg invites you to go on a trip to the city on the neva. st. petersburg
