the international federation of journalists has suspended the organizations of national unions of journalists by journalists and the press in other countries of the world. as a matter of fact, how we did it before. tell some specific journalists to work. maybe those who are abroad. it will affect or nothing will change on our journalists. it won't affect. the fact is that the very attempt to put pressure on the union of journalists of russia , demanding to somehow discuss changing the decision

that in our new regions will be created these departments. this was the biggest major problem. from the very first day, as soon as it arose. the topic of our position was clear and unquestioning. these are our journalists. these are our colleagues who need help, who need support to work with, and solidarity with whom is just the same as the basic principles of the international federation of journalists, so to speak. timur vladimirovich tell me, can some specific names be indicated or nothing, just in general, the union of journalists is not in general, the union of journalists, how an organization, as a member of the international federation of journalists, membership in the international federation is collective, it is not individual, it includes organizations representatives of various countries of the world , maybe one of your colleagues has already spoken about this. and here is how i understand the messages. now they are already talking about this quite correctly. quite clear and clearly

on this position on this situation, including speaking out, and the union of journalists of bulgaria , which just likewise called this decision absolutely political and dictated pressure, but the current political situation in general, which prevails in the european union. now say a. s. what year are you worth your union with members of the international union of journalists of russia joined the ijf, back in the mid-nineties. timur vladimirovich tell me the last question on what will the renewal of membership depend on and to what extent? well, in your opinion, it is generally necessary to strive for this technically, and according to the charter of the international federation, it is assumed that the final decision will be made by the world congress, which will be held in in 2026, it is assumed that before this world congress, the union of journalists of russia will either justify its position or change the decision, but our positions in this regard. i repeat from the very beginning it was declared quite clearly

, no changes, no annulments of their decisions. we are not going to undertake our regional offices. in our new territories, they will work as before. and they will help all our journalists who are there in a very difficult situation. there was a secretary and a leader of the international department of the union of journalists of russia timur shefer new troops are advancing in the donetsk and krasno-liman direction about it today, the ministry of defense reported that positional battles continue in other directions . denis alekseev will tell more about the course of the special military operation denis hello. tell us how the situation is now. yes, welcome to the city area. sumy , with a high-precision strike, destroyed the workshop for the production and repair of large-caliber mortars and ammunition for this purpose at its own expense. recorded by russian pilots. my

they are already following artyomovskaya almost in the center of the city, as in marinka and here and there the offensive is covered by the russian aerospace forces, this is footage of the work of artillerymen of the southern military district self-propelled guns acacia, 152 caliber strikes at manpower and armament of ukroboviks important targets are columns of trucks loaded with equipment ammunition, which the vsu is trying to pull to the front line. the result of the offensive actions of the southern group of forces, and also the assault volunteer detachments and units of the tula paratroopers in the donetsk direction is more than 200 liquidated militants. isu heavy equipment and artillery, minimum. one howitzer is still ukrainian formations. there they lost another warehouse filmed them with the amount of ammunition. and here is how the vostok grouping worked in its direction in the donetsk direction, the artillery of the vostok group of troops inflicted a complex fire defeat

on an enemy unit in the areas of settlements of ugledar. and pre-cleaning of the donetsk people's republic in a day in this direction, up to 65 ukrainian military personnel were destroyed two infantry fighting vehicles armored fighting vehicles two pickups, gangs d-20 and d30 in the kherson direction during the counter-battery fight , two howitzers were destroyed per day, d-30 also in areas of settlements. antonovka and chernobaevka of the kherson region were hit by warehouses, ammunition, 123 and 126 territorial defense brigades. they are actively involved and such howitzers are d30. a calculation of six people per minute for 8 shots can be towed by any tractor, and such airborne units can easily land a triton mass of rather compact dimensions. allow to do. on the eve of the russian artillery, the formation of the allied forces hit the

side of the red estuary. there , the group of troops worked out the center, and the reasons for the significant defeat of the militants became. here they are classics in their purest form hailstorms of reactive systems, constantly showing themselves in battle, maximum efficiency ensures the adjustment of fire from drones from obtaining coordinates to a salvo in less than 10 minutes. very often we work, it happens that we come, only now we have recharged for 10 minutes 15 i am again shoot leaving we carry out the task accurately and clearly and quickly, the main thing, because we hit large areas and a lot of manpower and equipment of opponents. the t-72 is also the workhorse of only the tank in their crew units are involved in all directions , especially where it is necessary to approach point-blank and show the enemy who has settled in cover that it is time to leave the firing positions in these shots the work of tanks on the right bank days of rights to set up crew members military and regular deliveries of equipment to kiev. this is just

another challenge, they say. commander already fully trained. we are already aware of tanks and weak points, well, we are ready to smear abrams when they say we will smear, they mean, these are the statistics of ukrainian losses, first special operations, inexorably almost 8,000 tanks and armored vehicles. this is a weighty argument in favor of russian tankers and artillerymen . another dozen drones were destroyed the day before. this is already a kind of standard for russian anti-aircraft gunners in kiev , who believes that a new supply of weapons will definitely solve the issue in their favor, but only while all the previous ones are billions of dollars. the results somehow influencing the course of hostilities did not bring. vladimir putin today met with the head of the office

the americans offered to look at the option of returning all the crew members on the ship, because theoretically it is possible, but they practically began to look at what this would entail, and this is also actually quite a risky operation, therefore from the point of view of minimizing risks, they can distribute the crew in the same way as in distributed one crew member leaves for the dragon, two still returns to the soyuz ship if evacuation is suddenly required, but the probability of this situation is extremely low and even in the event of many emergency situations. we have the ability to parry it so that the crew remains at the station, that is , not to use a ship that has a certain defect. let me remind you that on december 15 there was a depressurization of the cooling system of the soyuz ms-22 spacecraft at the russian cosmonauts decided to return to earth on the next soyuz ms-23, which is scheduled to start on february 24. the expert commission is establishing the reasons. why there was a depressurization as a preview. this is the result of a meteorite or

space debris hit, this was stated in the hands of the roscosmos leadership, the corporation also published a picture for the first time. uh, violations of the outer skin of the unions, 22 work in the international space station - this did not affect much. this affected the thrust of our manned program, because as you understand, we are forced to send the entire soyuz-23 crew version and our program is shifted by almost half a year and the cosmonauts who should have already descended to earth in march continue their mission until at least september here, which happens only in in this case , the scientific program itself is preserved ; it will be carried out by precisely those astronauts who are now there, while we have drawn unambiguous conclusions. what exactly is the union in progress , these are situations related to external influence, and nature is an external influence. we still have to figure out that it was a space debris meteorite. lev said that

the fuel reserves of the soyuz ms-23 spacecraft, which will go to the iss in unmanned mode , allow several docking attempts to be made, that is, manual docking. it will not be scheduled for the morning of february 26. the scientific and technical councils of the state corporation decided to extend the operation of the russian segment and the international space station until 2028. let me remind you that earlier it was said that russia will leave the iss project after 2024 to form its own orbital station. a teleconference was organized today from naro-fominsk, moscow region , with participants in a special military operation who are now in combat areas. they were able to communicate with their relatives and friends, talk with their husbands and fathers , more than 60 family members came, the married children of the military even prepared a small concert program to support the fighters performing their military duty
