this is russia 24 right now the main facts of this day in russia are celebrating the eightieth anniversary of the victory in the battle of stalingrad on february 2, 1943 . soviet troops completely defeated the enemy grouping near stalingrad, the battle lasted 200 days at night. the victory in it was the beginning of a radical turning point in the great patriotic war, according to the ministry of defense in the battle of stalingrad, they destroyed about a quarter of all fascist forces operating on the soviet-german front, the total losses of the nazis. exceeded 1.5 million people killed wounded prisoners missing . the strategic initiative passed into the hands of the soviet command, conditions were created for the deployment of a general offensive of the red army and the mass expulsion of fascist

invaders from the territory of the ussr . it contains documents from the funds of the central archive. hmm opens section by order number 227. it is known as an order, not a step back also on the site you can see captured german operational maps. order of the headquarters of the supreme high command. combat, reports from the front. description of the exploits of the soldiers of stalingrad. all this is published in full for the first time . telegrams and letters from stalin deserve special attention. i wonder what's in the work? stalin often used pencils to make notes on documents with a blue pencil, and the documents themselves wrote in red. for example , a telegram to andrey eremenko on august 23, 1942 of the year. the most important thing is not to panic, not to be afraid of an impudent enemy and to remain confident in our success

, so stalin wrote to the commander presented in the multimedia section and telegram zhukov sent november 15, 1942 code surname of the commander of the southwestern front, lieutenant general nikolai vatutin on november 19, 1942. his troops went on the offensive on november 20, forty-second the so-called resettlement began eremenko's main event. today, of course, they are held in volgograd and, more precisely, in stalingrad, as it is called, on this day, residents are compared in the morning and guests of the city go to mamayev kurgan to honor the memory of those who died on the facades of buildings of residential buildings, portraits of heroic defenders are placed. stalingrad commanders, the city is decorated with festive flags illuminated by installations on the streets, there are concert venues and field kitchens on the square of the fallen.

the wrestlers are passing a military parade, and at the railway station today there is a performance in at the end of the concert the living and the dead with the participation of the chamber ensemble of moscow soloists under the direction of yuri bashmet. escalation of the conflict in ukraine from the west , sergei lavrov said this in a big interview to our tv channel to the ria novosti agency that the west cannot calm down, and like in notorious fairy tales with every step. eh, more and more tied up. uh, in a known substance in the swamp, in my opinion, and this , of course, plays an important role in the hunting operation, because if now we are trying to push back the ukrainian artillery armed forces at a distance that will not pose a threat to our

territories with what long-range weapons are supplied to the kiev regime. further , it will be needed from the idea from the territory that are part of our country that the result of the war should be the defeat of russia to the west, according to the words. the head of the foreign ministry seeks to inflict such economic damage on russia that it would not be able to recover for many years. lavrov also saw historical parallels in this. 1812 as well as in 1941 those who want to subjugate the e wanted to subjugate the uh world, since europe at that time gathered most of the countries of the continent to start a war against the russian federation. i do not see much

difference moreover during the great patriotic war of the second world war. uh, nazi ideology was used against us. and why do people refuse to see the nazi ideology, which is now at the heart of the kiev regime, and all those statements that are made by him, but by fans and puppeteers. er, well, i don't see. uh, opportunities to regard them. otherwise, as an attempt to finally resolve the russian question, the well-known also an activist. the road commission stated that the outcome of the war should be the defeat of russia and such a defeat that it would not be able to restore its economy for ten long decades. this is not, uh, racism, not nazism, nor an attempt to resolve the russian issue. russian aviation

and artillery destroyed two american launchers in the kramatorsk region in the dpr in a day, including hummers , my colleague collected the latest data on the course of the special operation. denis alekseev denis welcomes what is known offensive on the fronts yes welcomes so , in the north of the luhansk people's republic , ukrainian militants. the speech of the crime-ridden person was pushed aside. there, a difficult situation is unfolding, they are pulling together reserves, trying to recapture the territories lost in the summer, but the defense is reliably drawing up their reserves. ukrainian troops and in the area of ​​coal. feeling that they are inferior to russian forces. and here, from the side of the liberated ticks, where the attack on artyomovsk continues, under fire control are the main transport arteries in this area road to konstantinovka. in the donetsk direction , the southern group of

forces continues to push back the ukrainian formations. there decently went to two brigades of the armed forces, the loss of fifty military personnel in armored vehicles. well, artillery installations, such as msta and d 30, but on the eve of how the grouping center worked out in the krasnolivani direction, as a result of artillery fire and successful offensive actions of the units of the grouping of centers , a unit of the ninety-fifth air assault brigade of the armed forces of ukraine was defeated in the area the settlement of karmazikovka of the lugansk people's republic, as well as the serebrian forestry. enemy losses in this area per day amounted to over 100 ukrainian servicemen, six armored combat vehicles and a d-30 howitzer. and of course, artillery is actively involved, a lot of the beautiful enemy sees this, so the personnel try to hide deeper or behind impressive barriers. for such cases, there is such a device. these tulips bloom even in winter, this is the name of the mortar, and it is the most powerful in the world

shells of 230 kg penetrate concrete up to 3 m thick, like a house of cards. with the first shot , either we immediately hit the target, or they correct us with the second third projectile, hit the target, change the point and work again . well, by the way, reconnaissance from the air allows you to do this quite accurately , and small drones and larger birds are orlan 10 fast 150 km / h. speed ​​effective range 600 km. maybe 16 hours of autonomous flight is ideal for objective control? but the work of self-propelled howitzers msta they are kilometers from thirty work, hitting with high-explosive and high-precision shells in such a way that the militants also don’t have much chance in a day. russian gunners hit two

american launchers and at least two ammunition depots. the task arrives to defeat the suppression of e, and leskov me the enemy, we leave for the regional angry positions, the battery is oriented, we are aimed at the target. uh, we are charging, according to the nature of the target, we set certain fuses, if necessary, and we get to work. so every day and night, combat duty the results stop, they speak for themselves , they continue to lose military equipment and soldiers. actually, kiev presses on losses when they demand $5 billion from the west every month, because blood is shed for the interests of the united states and europe, but at least give 3 billion to the ukrainian army , most of them, of course, do not reach, settle in kiev and

such a large-scale theft caused dissatisfaction. even in washington , three inspectors general were sent to ukraine at once to figure out where the money for landing and arrests go. returning to the 80th anniversary of the victory in the battle of stalingrad from volgograd stalingrad direct connection with the facts comes out anastasia efimova anastasia welcome how the city celebrates this significant date. yes, hello natalia, the city celebrates it widely in accordance with the significance of this day, of course, with this date, 80 years is a serious anniversary of the key battle for the great patriotic second world war. we are now, probably, in the most sacred place both for today and for stalingrad as

a whole. this is mamaev kurgan, the so-called height 102 is exactly how it was designated on military topographic maps during the great patriotic war, the place of the bloodiest, most terrible battles, the place where the most dead were and the place where that very famous motherland stands, which symbolizes, of course, not only the battle of stalingrad, which symbolizes the whole great terrible war of radical changes that have been achieved. first of all, thanks to the defeat of the nazi troops. here in stalingrad today we talk a lot about the significance of this battles and of course. we talk a lot about how much has been done in the region so that this day really lives up to its high rank. well, firstly, i’ll remind you that today it started from the time on the square of the fallen fighters of the parade, which they collected and equipment and , of course, the ceremonial calculations of military formations and even the aviation part of the parade still

took place, although many were very worried, because well the weather, frankly speaking, is not my best and low cloudiness and therefore there were fears that three an-2s would not be able to fly, but they nevertheless did it, which, of course, greatly pleased the townspeople. also today , a variety of memorial events are held throughout the city. this is the laying of flowers at the monument, this is audioviso. otherwise here are organized. most of these individual audio formats include archival documents, which, of course , are very important today to read, re-read and study, by the way, those that have been declassified. most recently. just before today. we have documents made available to the public. in particular. this is a memorandum from the head of the nkvd department for the stalingrad region , which tells about the actions of the germans when they were here. stalingrad must be in that part of the city that

was occupied, 250,000 people lived at the time of the occupation. after the germans were defeated, a little more than seven and a half thousand remained. and this is the scale of losses, and losses among the civilian population. we are not talking at the moment about military casualties. it's only a loss among the civilian population, which also very much characterizes how stalingrad stood. in the most direct sense, of course, very many people, according to this. a declassified document was stolen, they were driven to germany, they were driven to ukraine, and many were simply killed, they killed, they robbed women. all this was raped, it is described in sufficient detail in the documents , which absolutely everyone can see today and in general, probably it would be worth doing first of all, because, unfortunately, forgetting the lessons of history, then a very dangerous precedent, subsequently, which we are probably observing, if we talk about geopolitical events, of course.

in total, he will come here to stalingrad, the head of state will come here on mamaev kurgan , and he will lay wine at the museum-reserves of the battle of stalingrad in the president’s hall of military glory , he also welcomes the participants of the concert of the solemn concert dedicated to the current date and will communicate with representatives of public youth and patriotic organizations. well, there are also a lot of events to meet with the head of the region. today we still have to, despite the fact that the day is very saturated it seems that it has begun. it is already the bottom and in the center of the city of a real large-scale gulya niya, today people have turned around trying to catch it everywhere, it may not be possible, but if you follow our broadcast, of course, we will try to show and tell everything in detail, however, as always. yes , i thank anastasia efimov from stalingrad , where they celebrate the eightieth anniversary of the victory in the battle of stalingrad today, on the air , we will return, of course, to this topic.

the united states is pushing the authorities of european countries to supply fighter jets f-16 to ukraine, the new york times writes about this, it notes that this corresponds to the tactics that washington kiev and the fan had previously worked out. that is, at first the states are open. they say that they will not give any weapons to ukraine but then they put pressure on their eu partners to hand over the necessary weapons. this has already happened with air defense systems and tanks, and most likely it will happen again with combat aircraft, the publication writes , according to its data , denmark and the netherlands are considered as possible suppliers of american fighters intends to introduce the tenth package of sanctions against russia by february 24, the anniversary of the start of a special military operation in ukraine , the head of the european commission, ursula vonderlein , said in kiev, she also promised

to additionally introduce a ceiling on valuable russian oil products. according to the head of the european commission, the eu continues to think about how to appropriate the frozen russian assets and send them to the restoration of ukraine at a press conference. the derain foundation touted the cultural ties between the eu and ukraine but failed to read the complex ukrainian name even on paper. large european cities have established borodino relations with thirty-six ukrainian cities, munich with kiev, for example, turku with kharkiv, almost 1,000 small cities of the european union have entered into partnership with the municipalities of ukraine from damage, you understood correctly what i mean, yes, you already tell me how right this is pronounce.

moscow will respond to austria which has declared four russian diplomats personamenongrat. so in the media of our country commented on the action of the vein, the authorities of the country demanded the deportation of two employees embassy of russia and two employees of the permanent mission to the un, by february 8, i will note the statement of vienna made at a time when the president of austria is on a visit to ukraine we and the permanent mission this morning received two official notes separately. where it was announced that two diplomats from the russian embassy and two employees of the permanent mission to the un were to leave austria before february 8, but yesterday we also had two separate conversations at the austrian foreign ministry closer to

in the evening and on wednesday mikhailulyanov was invited to talk. it is interesting that we were asked to arrive unaccompanied. this is quite rare, but it occurs in diplomatic practice, when it is necessary to discuss something, confidentially, we did not hear anything confidential from our side and made a strong protest. eh, they took all the unfounded ones. fabrications and warned of the inevitability of retaliatory measures in poland, farmers blocked checkpoints on the border with ukraine in this way, farmers protest against the import of ukrainian grain. earlier, warsaw promised that grain transit through poland would go to the starving countries of africa and the middle east . however, according to official data, ukraine

last year delivered more than 2 million tons of grain to poland, 54 times more. a year earlier , the organizers of the action announced that kiev is paying for fuel and weapons with grain. and low quality grain. prices on the polish market have fallen and farmers cannot sell their products blockade of border crossings will last for days. in russia, they temporarily suspended the acceptance of applications for the issuance of a new type of international passport, according to the message of the gosznak enterprise, due to the increased demand for this type of document , the need for microcircuits has increased, so now they are reconfiguring equipment , optimizing technological processes for those who have already submitted an application, they promise to send a letter with instructions. what to do next if you need a passport urgently, you can request an old-style document. russia called unacceptable the requirements of the international

the head of the russian olympic committee , stanislav pozdnyakov, wrote about this in his telegram channel to athletes about expressing a political position for admission to competitions . let me remind you a year ago he could have recommended not to allow belarusians to russians. in connection with the events in ukraine in january of this year, the committee changed its mind and allowed their admission to participate in the neutral status, but only if they do not support a special military operation. but now in the zaporozhye region, where assault groups of russian infantry are destroying fortified enemy areas, support is provided by the artillery of the eastern military district , our special correspondent alexei baranov is working on the line of contact

. the bmp crew has almost no time to replenish ammunition in the immediate vicinity of the line of contact. the frames with the reconnaissance drone camera clearly show how another a column of armored vehicles goes to the line of contact in the zaporozhye direction. communication with the command post for each crew , such assistance in battle cannot be overestimated in a minefield minefield. infantry under the cover of motorized riflemen, meanwhile, is already clearing the forest belts in the vicinity of the villages, the time and the great novosyolka discovered dugouts and other fortifications of the ukrainian military assault groups and immediately destroy

the line, also here in zaporozhye. from the eastern military district, a series of volleys supports the offensive in the zaporizhzhya direction. the suddenly spoiled weather , of course, does not affect the accuracy of the strikes. fog, not only does not interfere with the self-propelled artillery mount hyacinth, but even helps it under its cover of the machine to advance to the firing line, perform combat work and change the point of deployment. however, the firing line of hyacinths, far away, is not always located at a distance from the line of contact. this is a self-propelled howitzer weighing almost 30 tons, the commander tells us machines are, without exaggeration, very mobile. and

when you have to go to the front line as well, as the enemy artillery begins to hit our front lines. and we have to fight them off so that ours can go forward fear goes into the background. and we continue to work for three hours or three. any major combat work, of course, takes place in cooperation with scouts operating both on the line of contact and behind it, and always begins with one shot during skirmishes. we adjust very quickly, then from 30 seconds. so to for a minute and a half, everything happens with the help of reconnaissance units of quadrocopters of the dough , after clarifying the coordinates of the targets, the battery of self-propelled artillery mounts hyacinth, as a rule, already strikes in one gulp.

the hyacinth battery of the eastern military district completed the task of suppressing the positions of the armed forces immediately after the last salvo , the assault groups continue their work. the line of contact here in the zaporozhye direction is dynamically changing every day. alexey baranov andrey yurchuk ivan kiev alina zykova innovations zaporozhye direction the launchers of the yars missile systems entered the routes of combat patrols in the altai , the russian ministry of defense reports about this in its telegram channel near barnaul , the rocket man will have to make several

marches. including night fighters, they will learn how to deploy yars complexes on the ground, change positions , camouflage engineering equipment and combat protection , the command promises to test missilemen for their ability to resist saboteurs. all this will make it possible to check the readiness of personnel, as well as weapons of military equipment for long duty on combat patrol routes. the crews of pgk yars will perform the task of making a march and dispersing units with a length of up to 100 km with a change in field positions of their engineering equipment , organizing camouflage and combat guards . well, let me remind you yars - this is a new russian. a strategic missile system designed to change even soviet poplars. it is known that, compared with them, yarsa has a higher level of protection against the defeat of small arms in one and a half times was increased and the warranty period of operation. complex. the complex carries

powerful intercontinental ballistic missiles with practically unlimited flight range and the part separating it precisely and the characteristics of the yars are a military secret. iran blamed israel for the attacks on its military facilities , the iranians sent this position to the head of the un security council , as the country's representative at the organization said. said iravani investigation reveals israeli involvement stating that violates international laws, let me remind you a few days ago in the iranian city of isfahan, an explosion thundered. the ministry of defense of the republic reported an unsuccessful attempt to attack with the help of quadrocopters. one of his military installations.

one of the drones was shot down, the other two fell into defensive traps and exploded. anxiety in the twenty-second we went out on an even higher drink, because then the grandmother dies constantly stressed, if the anxiety is too much, if it covers , switch from their empty thoughts to some- that real action, it turns out in this house, then he experiences colossal physical discomfort. the study was devoted to the study of cognitive characteristics in humans. this is the level of uncertainty. what is important is not our fears and our experiences, but how we relate to them. and the wave today

blows the wind a little and they shoot here not without it. there is music here. here his orchestra works what bob did - this is an act of war, which he needs to oppose something. and in general, here on the line. only a yacht. maybe this is something to oppose, the weapons that will be bought with his money, for these 12 will shoot at me will shoot at me . yes, sure. what do you already and alive?
