she understands what risks we will have in the twenty-third year, that is, in the twenty- second we did not know and did not understand them, and yet . we have gone through them. what risks await russia this year and what conclusions after the last year will we tell . this is not all the details of the meeting on large-scale changes in the armed forces and the last data on the progress of the special operation. heading the ministry of defense is a huge challenge even in peacetime and it is even more difficult at the moment when germany is indirectly involved in the war, the old german defense minister washes his hands, but apparently says that the states are waiting for more weapons to ukraine in the open prize participation, and invested billions invited

the best minds. and now russian scientists cannot publish in international journals the results of experiments at the large hadron calider, it is more important for a politician to open it. despite to the fact that the past year was very difficult for our country, russia managed to go through the risks that arose, the president said at a meeting on economic issues. now we need to draw conclusions and correctly assess the new risks, not exaggerating, but not downplaying them either. we roughly understand what risks we will have in the twenty-third year, that is, in the twenty- second we did not know and did not understand them, and nevertheless, we went through them. financial budgetary there uh, that means structural logistics. well, and so on and so on. well, we went through this lets here, uh, not

realizing that we would act, how would it be called from 23 years. we see better in terms of these risks. technological risks there the same infrastructural ones are not overcome, that is, we understand what is happening and what is about. what difficulties will we have? and of course, if we understand this, then we should be running this much more efficiently even than what it was in the twenty-second year. here, too, it is very important to objectively assess all events. very important don't overestimate or underestimate anything. namely. well, don't exaggerate, but don't underestimate either. moscow and leningrad military districts will be created in russia, sergei shoigu said, he held a meeting on large-scale changes in the armed forces in

accordance with the august presidential decree. what else will be new in our army? stanislav vasilchenko found out how the special military operation is progressing in order to guarantee the military security of russia to protect new subjects and critically important objects of the state it is necessary to increase the size of the armed forces, minister of defense sergei shoigu said at a meeting with the commanders of the types of troops until 2026, it is planned to form an army corps in the republic of karelia, three motorized rifle divisions as part of the ground forces and two airborne assault divisions of the airborne forces , seven more motorized rifle brigades. according to the minister, it is necessary to reorganize into divisions and create two new strategic territorial armed forces of the moscow leningrad military district. as well as a self-sufficient grouping of troops on on the territory of the new constituent entities of the russian federation, to strengthen the combat component of the navy of the airborne cosmetic forces and strategic missile forces

before the meeting of the command at the headquarters of the group of troops. east sergei shoigu heard a report on how the special military operation was progressing, and the state of affairs was told by lieutenant general rustam muradov. valeria gerasimov and other commanders by the grouping of their forces. after the meeting, sergei shoigu in a solemn ceremony presented state awards to distinguished servicemen and thanked them for their courage and heroism. these are worthy. protect our fatherland, help those who need help. do everything to bring closer to that day, which is called victory day. there are doctors on the front line ahead of the awarded. they also work day and night, saving not only the russian military, but also civilians who come under fire . neo-nazis, our main task is the fastest removal of early sick areas

rear units an office building and a residential building, a wave, in aha, there is another dead civilian killed after shelling the village of blagodatnoye in donetsk only in the petrovsky district, kiev militants. fired more than twenty multiple rocket launchers. significant successes of the russian military are at once in several directions of the kharkiv region, brazil is a warehouse of rocket and artillery weapons, and air defense systems intercepted 14 haimars and olhad shells in a day. denis will tell more about what is happening in the special military operation zone alekseev settlement. marinka - this is to the west of donetsk. very soon, it may completely pass under the control of the russian military. all high-rise buildings have already been cleared. that is, essentially. the whole territory. marinka now, as in the palm of your hand, you only need to survive the militants from the private sector in the maryinsky direction. there

are 150 brigades, the fifth in fact. uh, horror has now liberated absolutely all the skyscrapers and is not under our control, and the enemy is trying to stay there in the practically private sector, that is, in those positions that were prepared in advance, but it’s also a matter of time that the ukrobovites value marinka for them, this is a springboard for constant attacks on donetsk. extremely literally within walking distance, having occupied marinka, the russian military will be able to send forces to liberate the coal. and there is also the opportunity to cut off the supply of the enemy in krasnogorovka. this, too, is being further cleaned up nearby, and solidar, which has already come under the control of russian forces, thanks to this, the encirclement is shrinking. she is from the formation in artyomovsk. in in the donetsk direction, units of the southern military district, in cooperation with units of the airborne troops , continued offensive operations in a day , more than 60 ukrainian military personnel were destroyed one tank, three armored combat vehicles and

six vehicles in the south donetsk direction by artillery units of the eastern military district and the marines of the pacific fleet. fire damage was inflicted by the accumulation of manpower and equipment of the sixty-first mechanized brigade of the armed forces of ukraine in the area of ​​the populated point zolotaya niva and 108 territorial defense brigades in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe settlement with a clean one, when there is no republic. also, to the north of the settlements of levadnoye and vladimirovka of the donetsk kind of the republic , two sabotage and reconnaissance groups of the armed forces of ukraine were destroyed, the total losses of the enemy per day amounted to 40 ukrainian military personnel in this direction, two armored combat vehicles, and three pickup trucks. here are shots of the work of russian artillery, calculations of hyacinths. sometimes they merge so much with the terrain that they are not you will immediately notice, and shells are in full swing in the forest belt. from the shelter they bring a reload shot to the gun and that’s it, it’s joyful to receive it in a new way. e data when the target is hit.

it's just breathtaking. we are all here for the truth, for our country, for our russia, for our relatives, for our children , without air support during the offensive, especially attack helicopters. i fly out regularly to perform reconnaissance tasks. so without goals, russian pilots do not sit for a long time, but what is important, someone should be in the air and cover and their unit also has a fire support group, submachine gunners conduct reconnaissance from the board, mi-8, it always flies a little bit, but in which case the reaction will be immediate, especially against militants in portable units against more serious missiles from the rsso of various calibers or against enemy aircraft they work out air defense calculations , it can be tours and letter complexes and strela, or c1 shell, a target at an altitude of up to 15 km is not noticed, there will be no reaction time

to flying objects of 5 seconds on average ukraine and the military is trying to be more cunning launch reconnaissance drones, yes, smaller, but even the spaniards are hitting them without a miss by a multifunctional all-round complex, they can detect and fire missiles, as well as lowered weapons, and they can detect and fire autonomously, it can be an autonomous voice, it can automatically detect shooting in manual mode by the operator. maybe just manually in a day, russian anti-aircraft gunners intercepted 14 shells from the haimar systems from the ilkha, and six drones were shot down in anti-radiation, location missiles and ballistic missile.ru. all losses. at first , special operations continued to grow tanks and different armored vehicles more. than 7.000 units. nearly 3,000 drones. about a thousand artillery pieces from fifty helicopters and

planes under 500 reconnaissance demon pilotnikov. well, a considerable part of these deliveries have already been eliminated in battles, so kiev is again waiting for the next batch of weapons from the western friends of the denis. vladimir putin, by his decree, awarded the title of hero of russia posthumously to foreman almaz safin, who showed courage and heroism in the performance of military duty during a special operation to protect the donbass, safin was born. in bashkiria, he graduated from the higher military command school in novosibirsk, then served as deputy platoon commander of the training center for junior specialists. he left behind a wife and three children. well, then on our channel there will be a live broadcast and i will gather protestant denominations by representatives of the world's traditional religions, taking all possible part in protecting the rights of believers around the world, especially christian, at

present we are extremely concerned, flagrant violations of the universal and constitutional rights of the orthodox believers of ukraine, it is difficult to overestimate the peacemaking potential of the religion and the church of interstate and civil conflicts, orthodox christianity for many centuries constituted the common spiritual and cultural basis of the life of the peoples of russia and ukraine and could serve to restore mutual understanding in the future. but the very basis of such a dialogue is being undermined in ukraine right now, when, at the initiative of the leadership of ukraine , attempts are being made to destroy ukrainian orthodox church, the ukrainian orthodox church is not a political, but a religious organization that unites more than 12,000 communities and millions of ukrainian citizens. on december 1, 2022, the national security and defense council of ukraine

issued a decision, the actual purpose of which was to restrict the rights of the ukrainian orthodox church communities. affiliated with centers of influence in russia, in fact, we are talking about a ban on the ukrainian orthodox church, although its control center is located in kiev and not in moscow a. it is administratively independent of the russian orthodox church; these measures also provide for the activation of counter -intelligence activities of the ukrainian special services against the ukrainian orthodox church. deprivation of the ukrainian orthodox church of the right to use the temples of the most important historical monastery of the kiev-pechersk lavra and the introduction of so-called sanctions against her clergy. this decision

was approved on the same day by a decree to the president of ukraine zelensky, and his subsequent decrees determined the list of bishops of the ukrainian orthodox church subjected to so-called sanctions. these so-called sanctions mean, among other things, the actual deprivation of the rights to manage property on the territory of ukraine , moreover, as reported by the ukrainian media , president zelensky subsequently indicated that a number of bishops of the ukrainian orthodox church were deprived of ukrainian citizenship, which is likely to be used as a basis for their subsequent forced expulsion from the country. meanwhile, article 25 of the constitution of ukraine states, i quote , a citizen of ukraine cannot be deprived of citizenship and the right to change citizenship , a citizen of ukraine cannot be expelled from ukraine. end of quote. article nine

, developed under the auspices of the united nations and the convention on the reduction of statelessness, which ukraine acceded to in 2013, states, and i quote, no contracting state may deprive any person or group of persons of their citizenship on racial, ethnic, religious or political grounds. end of quote. the proscription lists of the ukrainian episcopate and clergy are accepted by the national security and defense council of ukraine through a lawless judicial and investigative procedure and without the possibility of protest. this decision, the so-called sanctions and deprivation of citizenship , are applied to clerics of only one specific denomination , while article 24 of the constitution of ukraine expressly prohibits privileges or restrictions on rights citizens of ukraine on the grounds of their religious

beliefs. thus, the deprivation of citizenship of ukrainian religious figures is undoubtedly a form of mass political repression, contrary to the constitution of ukraine and accepted by this state to international agreements. at the same time, precisely those rights and freedoms are violated, the restrictions of which are expressly prohibited by article 64 of the constitution of ukraine, even during martial law or a state of emergency . from october 2022 to the present under the pretext of so-called counterintelligence activities, the service security of ukraine conducts mass searches in the monasteries and communities of the ukrainian orthodox church, throughout the country. during these events, the honor and dignity of the clergy are humiliated in the media , false and slanderous rumors are spread for far-fetched reasons,

criminal cases are initiated against the episcopate and clergy of the ukrainian orthodox church. just as during the years of atheistic persecution in the soviet union, they are groundlessly accused of bankrolling state activities, and so often referred to as evidence, are old newspapers and magazines, theological and historical books from personal libraries affected state is the total control of the religious life of society by state bodies. in 2018 , with active anti-constitutional intervention of the state apparatus and special services of ukraine

, the so-called orthodox church of ukraine was created from gross violations of orthodox canon law, further efforts of the authorities are aimed at forcing the communities of the ukrainian orthodox church to join the new religious organization created by the ukrainian state and enjoying its absolute patronage. in 2019, new norms of religious legislation were introduced in ukraine, which simplify raider the seizure of temples by holding fictitious referendums of residents of territorial entities, ignoring the opinion of a member of the religious communities of these temples, but with the intervention of outsiders and sometimes even armed persons. such seizures are accompanied by falsification of documents, gross violations of the law, mass clashes , beatings of believers and clergy; in 2022 alone, 129 churches of the

ukrainian orthodox church were seized, while legal registration of legs was completely blocked. in 2019 there was also a law was passed aimed at changing the name of the ukrainian orthodox church with the easily identifiable purpose of alienating its property this law of the constitution of ukraine and if a deputy in the verkhovna rada, the law was suspended pending consideration by the constitutional court of ukraine however, last month the law was nevertheless introduced. the verkhovna rada of ukraine has now registered seven more bills aimed at restricting the rights or liquidating the ukrainian orthodox church. in general, legislators do not hide the fact that their goal projects to infringe on the rights of communities and believers of the ukrainian orthodox church. forcibly seize her property, deprive her of her

historical and legal name , prohibit her from calling herself orthodox, and finally, prohibit her activities and completely liquidate her on the territory of ukraine violating the principle of separation of church and state, confirmed by the thirty-fifth article of the constitution of ukraine, the leadership of ukraine and local self-government bodies actually prohibit the use of assessment of religious phenomena within church theological canonical criteria and officially require communities of the ukrainian orthodox church to join other religious organizations. an unbridled and frankly slanderous campaign against the ukrainian orthodox church is being carried out in the ukrainian media, with calls for a complete ban on its activities, the use of pressure and violence

against its representatives. and vandalism of churches by the fact of beatings or even attempted murder of the clergy. sometimes even right in churches and during worship. mr. chairman dear members of the council , in conclusion of my speech, i would like to draw attention to the illegal actions of the state of their authorities in ukraine in relation to the largest confession of this country, to numerous facts about the violation of the rights of believers guaranteed by the charter of the united nations universal declaration of human rights declaration on the elimination of all forms intolerance of discrimination based on religion and belief, the international fact on civil and political rights, the international convention on the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination and many other

international acts guaranteeing the inalienable right of any person to freedom of religion. thank you for your attention. mr. chairman, we have carefully listened to the report of the deputy high commissioner for human rights or for the brance case. at the same time, we would like to emphasize that the russian federation continues to proceed from the fact that issues of human rights protection are not within the competence of the security council should be discussed by relevant bodies. human rights are not on the council's agenda today, as separate topics are the next provocative steps of the kiev regime, which put off the prospect of a peaceful settlement in the country. department of external church relations of

the moscow patriarchates for a detailed account of the repressive actions of kiev against the ukrainian orthodox church dear colleagues, many of you must have wondered why we convened this is a meeting that focuses on the internal situation in ukraine. we emphasize that this is not about interference in the affairs of the church. and not especially church affairs. the fact is that we are convinced that the processes taking place in ukraine are directly related to international peace and security and directly affect the prospects for restoring peace in this country. as we already noted during the speech on january 13 in ukraine , the formation of a truly authoritarian despotic regime persecution of dissent is carried out on all fronts from a complete ban on the opposition and the arrest of

public opinion leaders to the destruction of freedom of speech and even freedom of religion as such . since coming to power as a result of the 2014 constitutional coup, the kiev regime has been systematically destroying everything that could somehow be linked to russia. and in a country where the russian the language is native for most of the population, which for many centuries was in cultural unity with russia, such a policy meant, in fact, undermining the artificial paradigms of ukraine as anti-russia that bind society and plantations. and this despite the fact that russians are the second largest ethnic group in ukraine and, in accordance with the constitution of ukraine, it guarantees the free development of the use and protection of the russian language, as well as the languages ​​of national minorities of ukraine, article ten the state

promotes consolidation and development the ukrainian nation of its historical consciousness of the tradition of culture, as well as the development of ethnic, cultural, linguistic and religious identity of all indigenous peoples of national minorities. ukraine can not become a privilege or doctrine on grounds of race, color, political, religious and other beliefs, gender, ethnic and social origin, property status, place of residence on linguistic or other grounds, article 24 to citizens belonging to functional minorities. in accordance with the law, legal education in the mother tongue is guaranteed. language or to study the native language in state and communal educational institutions or through national cultural societies, article 53, the measures taken by the kiev regime are contrary to ukraine's obligations to protect the rights of all ethnic groups, consistent with a number of international documents. in particular, the ban

on discrimination against national minorities and guarantees of their rights to education, the preservation of culture and the study of their native language are enshrined in such documents as international conventions on the elimination of all forms of brass discrimination 65, international facts of civil political law. ah 1966 unesco convention against discrimination in education 1960 convention on the rights of the child 1989 protocol number one to the european convention for the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms framework convention of the councils of europe for the protection of national minorities declaration of it on the rights of persons belonging to national or an ethnic religious linguistic minority in 1992, document of the copenhagen meeting of the conference on human dimension, sbse 1990. the mentioned obligations of ukraine under the constitution are

contradicted by international documents at least 13 laws on decisions adopted in the ukrainian regime from 2016 to 2022. all this led to an unprecedented surge of russophobia at the very top, even for ukraine. so back in september 2021, president zelensky called on those residents of ukraine who consider themselves russians to leave the country of national defense defense daniilov generally called russians rats. mr. chairman after the start of the special military russia's operations in ukraine the formation of zelensky's dictatorship in ukraine has gone on truly at an accelerated pace with references to the need to fight separatism and kremlin propaganda , independent journalists and media companies were pursued by political opponents and members of a public organization objectionable to the authorities. in a matter of months

, all opposition parties that advocated the development of normal relations between ukraine and russia have been completely liquidated. massive political repressions are taking place under the control of the zelensky regime. arrests of civil activists and human rights activists, any manifestation of disagreement with the official position is burned into a red-hot iron. for example, ukrainian human rights activist elena berezhnaya, who for eight years studied and documented the process of the formation of neo-nazism in ukraine and spoke to members. the security council was arrested by the ukrainian special services back in march last year and is still being held in custody on the absurd charge of a gosmey. we have repeatedly drawn attention to the general component of the security council for this drunken case, we call on the leadership of the un to actively contribute to her release, we also know about hundreds of other examples when people

are persecuted and arrested on the basis of not only publications and statements, but also denunciations. and in general, only for the fact that they listen to russian music and read russian-language dreams. then an exchange fund is formed from them and we are offered to exchange them for captured ukrainian soldiers. and due to the fact that the client gets published a huge amount a huge number in the ukrainian military, which is the exchange fund. kiev is trying to scrape together due to mass arrests among its civilian population. under the pretext of a war with the occupiers, the ukrainian authorities have adopted a number of truly draconian laws, including legislation on collaborationism. it allows you to hold accountable even for receiving humanitarian assistance from the russian authorities or refusing to evacuate from their homes. completely cleared from a decorative point of view, the media space of country b in december 2022, volodymyr zelensky signed

the law on copper, which effectively transferred the ukrainian media under the control of the authorities, the national council for television and radio broadcasting. gained the ability to ban online media without litigation and cancel the registration of print publications, as well as require internet providers to block access to any publications, an authoritarian authoritarian and discriminatory law was noted even by western mussels and the international federation of journalists. mr chairman regular direction kiev's repressive policy was its war with canonical orthodoxy ukraine found itself on the threshold of a large-scale inter-confessional contract, which the history of modern europe has not yet seen. it is worth noting that the ukrainian authorities, with the support of western curators, have long set a course to undermine the economic orthodox church in ukraine, as they heard from metropolitan anthony, now the people are being forced
