worked earlier , eh, no matter what kind of work he liked, he got up and then heard that he would continue, only to add that now he will serve not his people, not his state. and the foreigners who came to kill are simply disgusting, but i am happy that they put this on the network without brains video and our special services will be able to identify all the traitors after the deoccupation. they will no longer be convinced that they traded in the bazaar or sat in the basements. these were collaborators from the miklushka list. we will see each other in exactly a week, but if in your the region has got advisers, don’t waste time, write to me on this e-mail or just on facebook, let’s make the scoundrels famous together so that this carcass does not have a chance to be rehabilitated after our great victory, death to the enemies

ukrainians lost electricity, water and other essentials, the council of europe will also join the action, the building of the institution will be darkened as a sign of solidarity with ukrainians the european institution also noted that the lights will be turned off for an hour in many of the largest cities of lithuania and poland, and the local authorities of krakow decided to show solidarity with ukraine for 12 days for one minute to turn off the lights in the most iconic tourist spots in the city center hinted at a new attack on ukraine, the head of the ministry of defense of the russian federation, serhiy shoigu, stated that the goals of his mobilization are new offensive actions in ukraine . the importance of the development of the nuclear triad as a guarantee of the sovereignty of the russian federation will support readiness

and improve combat readiness nuclear real is the main guarantee of preserving our sovereignty and territorial the integrity of the strategic parity in the whole balance of forces in the world this year, the level of modern weapons in the strategic nuclear nuclear forces is already 91%, the re-equipment of the first son regiment with a modern missile complex from the hypersonic combat unit avangard will soon be put on combat duty for the first time, intercontinental ballistic missiles sarmat, we know there is some movement to the right, this does not change our plans, an almost continuous assault and attempts to break through the defense of the ukrainian army. the russian occupiers are trying to take bakhmut and avdiyivka in both

directions. the occupiers have taken as a basis the tactics of assaulting small groups and haphazardly iron these cities with artillery under this city . the occupiers have thrown a significant amount of manpower, which after repeated attempts to storm there remains in the fields and landings on the approaches to bakhmut report by vitaliy bakumenko for your attention, the russians do not receive attempts to storm bakhmut, constant explosions are heard in the city, the sounds of battle are heard from somewhere in the vicinity, and we hear artillery, small arms, mortars and the russians are working and it’s quite dangerous to move around the city, that’s why the locals mostly hide in shelters, that is, on the approaches to bahmut, it’s not very fierce battles , the russians have brought thousands of fighters to storm the city, but most of the invaders cannot withstand the first attack and it’s not a secret, they confirmed it

even the russians themselves, that they have unprepared troops who go first to the first line in order to call fire on themselves there and to identify our e positions well, then already on the flanks there are more trained fighters and we are big with them we are actually sorting them out, and with this new one, this is a fighter of the rapid response brigade of the national guard , they are in the midst of other units of the armed forces of ukraine, hostile attacks are taking place, the tactics of the russians in this direction no longer surprise anyone, they send mainly untrained fighters to storm the fortifications. these are those who were collected according to the russian prisons, the so-called stormtroopers die on the approaches to the city. but even here there are those who know how to fight. they are preparing, they prescribe some strategies

, plans, and to promote these plans, to find them and neutralize them, this is already a little different level than just seeing a dozen fools in the field who climb on you and hope that they will come up with something, this is a fighter on call, a chaplain, he is a divorce, so here is one of the videos where he is on a combat sortie, it is a difficult and dangerous job, you often have to approach the russians at close range and go into the rear of the enemy, the captain tells about one of his combat sorties , the russians managed to break through to one table, and there our soldiers remained, he together with two more soldiers went into the occupied village to take away our comrades from there. the first question we asked them when we arrived was, what is going on in the village? well, in the center of the village. the russians then managed to slip by unnoticed, the chaplain and the soldiers found their own , and then they divided into small groups and again

imperceptibly left the occupied village , then we managed to withdraw 18 soldiers, we approached the basement there, where are our boys they asked. there is someone there, there is no one. there was no silence . they went to the other side. some of the guys were hiding, and then as soon as the guys were pulled out, the drones were raised and it turns out that they were in the buildings where we were. they asked further. there were russians there, they were just, well, apparently, they were also afraid of them. fear is here, the boar went to war as a volunteer in the spring, he says that after he saw a bus with children who were being rescued from mariupol, then he could not resist, picked up a weapon for the first time in his life and mobilized, although his plans were now a scout, he was working he raised his son as a designer, now here in bakhmut he is fighting and studying sports part-time training for whom poplavskyi is currently in show business, and then

they want to move on to international relations, but now international relations with bakhmuts look like this. this leads from the east to bakhmut , a horde of convicts, bandits and murderers, here they are opposed by ordinary ukrainian men who had to take up arms as a first-timer who earned a living before the full-scale invasion as the host of the holidays and a humorist, i, uh, i never thought that i would have to be so close to death. and all this, well, let's go , it's happening now. these men have already been cut by the war, they also saw the death of their brothers and walked on the edge alone, i remember

the first step was interesting. the first flight was close. i don't know. maybe there's something wrong with me. it was interesting. that is, i fell . there was some childish pleasure that not this time not this time you know. and after that , this feeling periodically appears when we were covered with tapes, uh, everything around explodes and shakes. and you are like that, and not a single one has been hit. you rudely say that there is no humor in the war, the situation is difficult, the enemy is insidious and has considerable resources, but then everything is broken down, here is the price under the name of the armed forces of ukraine with bakhmuda vitaly bokmenko oscar jansons tv channel espresso shoot bakhmut the fortress of indomitability and we

people. medvedev as a courier brought a message from putin to the leader of china. meanwhile, the russian troops continue to lose manpower and what in ukraine, as of the morning of december 21, russia has already lost 99,740 people in ukraine in the last day alone, the armed forces of ukraine destroyed 510 orks with the beginning of the great war, the russians have already lost 32 tanks and 5,979 armored fighting vehicles in ukraine 1972 artillery systems 412 rocket launchers 212 air defense systems 282 airplanes 267 helicopters 4608 units of automotive equipment 16 ships of boats 653 cruise missiles 1688 drones 178 units of special equipment so zelensky in

washington, russia is increasing the size of its army to 1.5 million, and putin is preparing for a long war from ukraine, we will talk about this during the next hour with us at the major general of the security service in the reserve of the former deputy head of the sbu viktor yagun p general good day good health to you glory to ukraine glory to the heroes good health so, mr. general, today today volodymyr zelenskyi left for the united states of america, we will wait for the results of zelenskyi's meeting with biden - this is the first visit of the ukrainian leader since the beginning of the great war , in the meantime, the manner of russia, a collegium of the ministry of defense of the russian federation was held, where the announcements were made plans for 2023, in particular, putin talks a lot about what

human losses and human tragedies mean for them, as he said, we know what the number of those who died in ukraine is almost 100,000, and tomorrow there will be 100,000 dead, and if you multiply by 3, it is about 300,000 who suffered sanitary losses. what putin said about these losses is already obvious. in that, members of ukraine, inevitably, the only question was when it will pass and finally ...

tomorrow, i think that everyone present in this hall perfectly understands what i am talking about , and putin and the sheik said what, rather, the sheik said, and putin agreed that their army will be increased by 350,000. this is the second increase in the size of the army this year e- when they entered the war, they had an army of 1 million, in august 1 million 150,000 , and now they want to increase the number of their armed forces to one and a half million people, mr. generals, according to your feelings, how much more russian soldiers are ready to put in ukraine in order to get though would like some kind of victory or at least demonstrate to the russian society look at him there is no restraint, this is such a phrase that explains everything, i.e. there are no boundaries, there are no numbers, this person can

go to the end. she understands that she lost, she understood, she understands that she has achieved her goal and the only thing that she can now throw more and more of these servicemen mobilized into the crucible of this war. in this way, trying to hold on, i don't know a day or two , a month, six months, a year in office, and he clearly understands that if only he stops throwing and to support this war, he will have huge problems, and these problems can end with him losing power, and not only he understands this, but all his entourage , so they will go to the end, this applies not only to manpower, it also applies to military and technical provision of the same missiles, and that is why we can count how many

missiles there are there or how many of them there may be, but they will go to the very end, including using even the stocks that we had about leave ideas there for unforeseen circumstances the increase in the number of the russian army and the attempt, as shoigu said today, to close the northern flank of the russian federation from the expansion of nato to the east, what is meant there is the creation of the leningrad military district, another military district in order to oppose the north atlantic alliance, what does this mean, an increase in the army by 350,000 people considering what we see or at least we hear assessments of military experts regarding the readiness or training

of those people who come to the russian-ukrainian front soviet e-e the army after the second world war reached more than 5 million. i understand the effort to close all the holes in them now they will be exposed from the border with finland. it is about 1,600 km and it remains in them completely uncovered, but even some units were relocated closer to ukraine in order to use them in this war with us, and it is clear that, taking into account the forecasts in january or early february, finland and sweden will finally become members of nato and thus their entire leningrad so-called region or as they they want to name it a district and the baltic fleet will be completely closed in the internal water area

in the finnish gulf, so an increase of 100,000 to 200,000 to 300,000 has not been resolved , they are extracting these resources of society. a normal state should have done this, which means, for example, 300,000 mobilized, that is 300,000 healthy normal people, well, plus or minus, who were torn from e-e society from the economy and who do not produce any product. and this product it is necessary to replace it with something. and what can be used to replace less and less money in the budget , and it’s like that at every step. they will increase the number of the army not at the expense of drafts, they will increase it at the expense of er, at the expense of contract workers,

they will try to the extreme although there is still a way to increase the length of service of servicemen from such service in the army and thus follow the path of soviet reconstruction of the soviet army, it can be increased by two years to three years. well, why not in this way they will attract a certain number of young it is a melting pot of people and they will be able to do anything with them , well, once again, well, i emphasize that the problem is not that, not the people, the problem is that what to provide for those people, where to teach them, where to recruit officers and sergeants, what equipment and weapons to give them, they do not have this that's why their problem is not ours, today putin said that he personally made efforts to get closer to the civilized world but it did n't work, let's look at putin's peace and now after

the collapse of the soviet union, which we allowed with our own hands, why it turned out that from day to day the last part of this so-called civilized world is what we call it. and as it turned out, they did not wait for us there, despite everything, i found efforts and requests. the demand will increase, stand up in this part, no, no, er, so the representative of the russian horde says that he wanted to be civilized, but this world did not accept him . does not want to see, and

today he also said that he has nothing to do reproach, we have always considered the ukrainian people to be a brotherly people. i still think that what is happening is of course our tragedy, our common tragedy, but it is not the result of our policy, they are the result of the policy of other countries, third countries that have always strived for the disintegration of the russian world to a certain extent, they have achieved success, said putin , is mr. putin’s desire to constantly expand the circle of those with whom he is at war, or at least to show that the great field of nato is against us, the whole civilized world is against us ukraine is only a tool. this desire , after all, for the domestic audience, to explain why the russian army cannot work effectively on the russian-ukrainian front , or why the russian army entered the territory of the ukrainian state for three days and has been here for the 11th month already. i think for

the internal, no one simply takes everything he says seriously. well, because what does that mean? we tried, but they didn't accept us. there were clearly defined priorities and parameters. do you want to go there? everything to be among normal countries, please , we must fulfill this, accept this, reduce this, get rid of, i don’t know, corruption, fix some branch of the judiciary and that’s it, go ahead. well, why were the baltic countries able to do it? they were also in the same soviet union, but they succeeded because of that. that they had a desire and they understood where they were going and russia remained in the imperial in this fallow, she

did not get out of there and blames everyone well, everything is clear now after ukraine she will start to blame well, there is already a trend azerbaijan because they don't like that they are directly contacting who is there kazakhstan kyrgyzstan well let's try to find a couple more of these china they are afraid because they understand that china can simply respond but the country around it let's make them all enemies again let them er shut up let them find what they want in themselves, but the best thing is the collapse of this empire, they started it themselves. in relation to the russian federation on the day when putin met with lukasz,

actually, no decisions or plans regarding the participation of belarus in the russian aggression were announced, meanwhile, general naev says that there is still a danger from the north flank of ukraine and , accordingly, from the side of belarus, and this danger continues to exist, and we know that on february 24, russian troops entered from there. airfields, the whole country was under air alert. i mean our country, you don't evaluate these possibilities as you do now, and the main thing is the situation in which lukashenko or not

lukashenko, and someone instead of him, can decide that the belarusian army will join the russian army and physically cross the belarusian ukrainian border well, i have repeatedly spoken about it, they can cross the border but this will be the last day of independence of belarus in the form of a state , because uh, whatever it is, but this is the army of belarus, it is a good one that must obey uh, the head of the state, what would he be called there if we didn't treat him and this is the last such bastion what lukashank still has behind his back, he can hip-hip-hit a little bit, but he's there and if we get rid of him and what that's 40,000 people, that's a significant number of people who can enter. well, they don't have the experience, they do n't have the motivation, they don't have anything else, but

they will bring to our land the same as those russian troops who entered at one time midnight to us, i don't even doubt that we will be able to stop them and uh break it up, but what will happen next? no one can say that. most likely , belarus as an independent state may disappear , the fake ones will remain because it is very profitable for russia to have, for example , one more vote in some international organizations, by the way, it also existed during the soviet union. belarus, ukraine, soviet i think that this vote will be preserved, but the state itself is its currency in the police, special services, the army. it will all just dissolve in the russian empire and that's it .
