the russian military continue their successful attack on ukrainian positions in the vicinity of artyomovsk on the eve of the artillery, which covered a group of mercenaries from poland there, the ukrainian military themselves tell all the details about the situation about the state of affairs in the ranks of the armed forces. yegor grigoriev has a bakhmut potion and , well, lads. say hello, so we live here, there is nothing to fight with. yes, and there is no one , first we kindle a bonfire on a shovel to warm our hands, and then the fire burns out, we throw off the

coals from the shovel and sit on the shovel. oh to warm on and a video from under artyomovsk is recorded by a soldier showing the conditions of life and the remnants of provisions . the truth is already thinned. two or three times a day, the poles come on their crabs, shoot back, and for three shellings of 8 dead, six right in the pancake, even two fell down. there is nowhere to go here. yes , while it's cold, let the polish mercenaries lie here with their cunning crab howitzers. as you can see, they are pulling up the positions of the all, where then the answer falls. and. what it is like for eminent people managed to feel here, the pole's camera captures the arrival of a russian projectile. on the eve of artyomovsk , several people from the polish international legion of ukraine were wounded at once, along with the commander of the loss of the georgian mercenaries and the

americans who came to the aid of the demoralized apu, the commander of the american pmc mozart groups did not work out on the evil russian musicians. even complained via newsweek. prigozhin his wagner fighters seem to be targeting another ngo target mozart a group that helps educate ukrainian troops on rumors of the end of the humanitarian mission. such are the foreign volunteers. more. it seems to be true, especially against the background of the growing losses of the armed forces in the artyomovsk direction, already 50% of the personnel, up to 70% of armored vehicles, are attacking and attacking from two companies, no one is left. the development of the offensive would have been impossible without artillerymen. they work almost continuously and with different calibers they take the enemy into the firebag, well, nightmares. artistic reconnaissance reveals the positions of the enemy, and immediately they are burned out as if by a process

difficult and not fast, but systematic and effective, too, very good progress is being made there. we have what kognar, uh, 7, the first army corps of the donetsk people's republic is advancing there daily. we get by destroying the enemy. we are moving slowly, forward, the pakhmud massacre is how the coronazis call their foreign assistants the battle for the most important transport hub of donbass daily losses. here, before the ukrainian battalion, the command makes up for sending any mobilized depletion of provisions for weapons now and from here troops from the semicircle without heavy losses egor grigoriev together is hardly possible for all. the russian military destroyed seven rocket launchers in multiple rocket launchers, which were delivered to ukraine from abroad, including two american highmars, anna yuzhnaya in the direction of donetsk, repelled the attack of the armed forces. the latest data during the special operation near denis alekseev russian

troops do not stop the attack on the positions of the armed forces from the armed forces have to be released, the settlements left by the residents of the house. at the coronazis use as firing points these are the marines, the footage of the battle for one of the villages in the dpr as part of the group is already successfully working, mobilized in the fall, the military after a full training course. they strengthened the operating unit in the entire south-donetsk direction. now they are actively pushing the nationalists away from the capital of the people's republic about the successes in other areas of the special operation, the ministry of defense reported in the red lemon direction, russian units continued to conduct offensive operations with assault and army aviation strikes artillery fire, over 60 ukrainian servicemen were destroyed in a day, three infantry fighting vehicles and two vehicles in the kupyansk direction as a result of strikes by assault and army aircraft, as

well as artillery fire. the armed forces of ukraine destroyed more than 70 ukrainian servicemen, two infantry fighting vehicles and three vehicles, attack aircraft support the attack of the allied forces from the air. rooks su-25. after all, this is essentially a flying tank, and therefore the task of the pilots is to strike at fortified positions with a concrete shelter warehouse for dugouts of the command, flight conditions are far from ideal, but the crew knows their business, this is unstable weather conditions during flight. we often have to make corrections directly. although already from the lower border. this, accordingly, we have to recalculate the range of the bungage, so as not to enter the area of ​​​​the link with artillery. such work gives the desired results, where it is necessary to enter high-precision weapons as a result of a strike by high-precision weapons

of the russian aerospace forces in the regions. shevchenkovskaya and grigorovskaya, zaporizhzhia region, five launchers of multiple rocket launchers mlrs, made in the usa and mars, two made in germany in the area of ​​the settlement of ilyichevka, donetsk people's republic, were destroyed two haimar launchers, made in the usa, in the area of ​​the settlement of borovskoye, kharkov region, as a result of strikes by precision-guided weapons of the russian aerospace forces more than 90 polish mercenaries were destroyed. and this is a heavy flamethrower system in action, the sun baked, leaving behind kilometers of scorched earth. this calculation worked out in the svatov direction, they are pulling up all their equipment there, personally. the squad is being transferred in an attempt to break the russian group into the criminal direction of the matchmaker, but so far they are carrying everything past. loss of weapons. in particular, they are trying to fire drones and rockets at peaceful settlements of the lc and hit the defense lines. but here the russian anti-aircraft gunners are already in place. they intercept

flying targets per day five drones are on all fronts 1.5 dozen missiles from american highmors intercepted and one more anti-radar missile. harm, another ukrainian helicopter has been destroyed, and since february, the ukrainian army has already lost 181 and 341 aircraft, and in the mtr 920 vehicles are already minus. well, tanks and other armored vehicles. more than seven thousand were destroyed, and many of the foreign arms supplies are billions of dollars, which essentially fly into the pipe, leaving kiev in debt to western friends. denis alekseev obukhov's love to lead. with a shortage of gas in europe, the french are urging the french to take a look for many more years of colonist hills. to tell the truth, difficult times have come for a long time, despite the crisis in the standard of living, the european union plans to increase over 2 billion euros a pound of peace from these funds will be provided, including military

assistance to kiev natalya goncharova knows the details. the americans are successfully making money on the ukrainian conflict, according to deputy foreign minister sergei ryabkov, the insatiability of the us military-industrial complex has no limits and the confrontation in ukraine is just an excuse to whet appetites, including financial ones. nato members. more and more are drawn into the conflict, directly the multifaceted assistance to the cue is, and now it is much higher than what took place a few months ago. this is a reflection of the conscious line of washington and the europeans following it obediently following it to escalate the conflict. playing with fire, risks increase, this was said in a new publication many times visual confirmation of these words. cnn reported that the united states is considering the possibility of supplying kiev with cluster munitions. although they are prohibited from being used in

in accordance with international the americans themselves did not sign this convention, but it was ratified by their european nato allies. a cluster bomb or projectile contains many smaller ammunition inside. they are capable of covering an area the size of several football fields the us began phasing out this method in 2016 as such munitions contained hundreds of smaller cluster bombs that often remained unexploded after battle, posing a huge danger to civilians in washington more and more doubts. in the successful outcome of the confrontation for the ukrainians, on the pages of the new conflict in ukraine, they compared it with the civil war in the united states. and the harsh people are the brains of a general, sherman, whose decisive actions in georgia helped the north win. in addition, the authors of the materials urge smeni to idealize the kiev regime and

remind that before start. the conflict has been denounced by far-right ukrainian nationalists such as azov in congress, some have presented this conflict as a place to make a moral choice between good and evil, but the reality is more complex ukraine is not a thriving democracy. it is a poor , corrupt, one-party state with extensive censorship, where opposition newspapers and political parties are closed. kiev's decisive campaign against the russian language just as if the canadian government tried to ban the french language in quebec, ukrainian shells have killed hundreds of civilians in the donbass and there are reports of ukrainian war crimes, and in the us department of defense newspaper starsen straybes write that poland is preparing with might and main for a direct confrontation with moscow. as reporters who want to have more than enough training camps are filled with people, the number of american troops in poland increased significantly at the beginning of the year, but the polish media began

to report deaths. there are now about 10,000 american soldiers stationed in poland in ukraine , 6,000 more than at the beginning of the year, american troops in europe have grown from 80,000 to 100,000 after the start of the conflict in ukraine, europe has been preparing for a long time angela merkel said this to ukraine between the lines in an interview with sayk, with the help of the minsk agreements, the west won time for the ukrainians so that the kiev regime could build up its military potential, as we could see during the battles in the debaltseve area in early 2015, moscow could then easily capture them , and i highly doubt that the nato countries were able to do as much as they are doing now to help ukraine , it was clear to all of us that this is a frozen conflict, that the problem has not been solved, but that is exactly what gave ukraine has precious time, but europe has to pay a high price for supporting

the kiev regime. inflation b. kurdish food and energy prices are rising. almost every day, however, not all european countries support the line of the collective west budapest condemned the european union for a new package of sanctions against moscow, according to hungarian politicians , the european authorities themselves create problems wherever they can lead natalia goncharova. and the hungarians, italians, they went to the voronezh land as occupiers. in this place and the hungarians place somewhere around 5,000 of our prisoners of war berlin road on blood. 100,000 people, unfortunately, did not have time to evacuate; from time to

time, the currents shot them on the spot or hanged them. the area was huge about three pits. more than 200 people were found and raised here, a few years ago the remains were transferred directly. here in this place along the railway, the bones of our soldiers, how many sleepers? aleksey korotek, yakol gennady, goes to work for the freedom of his owners every day, thousands of russian criminals go out because of a prickly wires and, like ordinary people, they go to work first to remove the manure to clean the feeders. how many tons of sausages does it throw a total of 7-8 tons a day per day per shift, who are now serving their sentences in the comfort zone of the convicts?
