let's start with messages from ukraine. the air raid alert was announced three times throughout the country today. ukrainian media reported about the arrival of explosions, including in kiev, in the zhytomyr region in the city of starokonstantinov, khmelnitsky region. there is a military airfield there. previously, reports of explosions also came from the odessa region and from controlled kiev, kherson and snegerevka. the russian ministry of defense has not yet commented on the situation. from the details it is only known that the strikes were carried out against the military. strategic

object. and, of course, the question about the situation on ukraine about the progress of a special military operation today became one of the main topics in a big conversation with vladimir putin. the president summed up the results of the year, combining two formats: a direct line and a final press conference. in 4 hours and 3 minutes, i answered more than 80 requests out of more than 2 million questions sent and voiced. and here’s how the head of state commented on the question of how much more he can...

relevant. there are already 244,000 mobilized in the northern military district zone, 41 have been dismissed, contract soldiers, as of yesterday evening, about half a million. denis alekseev will tell you more about the situation in the combat zone. russian troops on the front line operate in active defense mode, meter by meter, occupying important positions and preventing ukrainian militants from moving forward towards their intended goals. and it’s becoming more and more difficult for the armed forces members to move. cold off-road. they allow nato equipment to prove itself, which in open areas, often stuck in mud or snowdrifts, becomes a target for our military; the list of eliminated western weapons is rapidly growing in winter, especially and the topic of our successes, in particular on the fronts, became one of the key ones at the final press conference of vladimir putin, they gave them as many as we promised, 400 tanks, there are 420, 430.

the front line, the president emphasized repeatedly, stretched for 2,000 km , colossal work continues, 617 thousand people are involved, half of them are called up as part of partial mobilization, and some chalk up feats that have been awarded state awards, 14 people have become heroes of russia, no matter how they push it ukrainian propagandists, western press , the situation is developing, well, it’s definitely not in favor of the second wave, there’s no point in that...

the mobs have attached such a name to these people, i remember all this very well , they’re fighting great, guys, just great. after that we began a fairly broad campaign to attract people on a voluntary basis to enter into contracts with the armed forces. yesterday evening they reported to me that 486 had been dialed

. another success for the paratroopers in this direction, the airborne attack aircraft near rabotin gained a foothold at an advantageous position. kyiv the command is in despair, it is necessary to show results to the west, but it doesn’t work, so in an attempt to secure a road to the crimea... they are throwing assault troops onto the left bank of the dnieper. russian troops made a tactical maneuver, retreating a few meters into forest plantations in the krynok area in order to limit themselves to only sanitary losses. but in the ranks of the military elite units of the armed forces of ukraine , dozens of people are killed per day.

the enemy announced a big counter-offensive, but nothing happened. well, here's the last try. well at least on today looks like the last attempt was to break through to the left bank of the dnieper to ensure movement in the direction of crimea. they push their people to simply exterminate. the military personnel themselves say, the ukrainian military personnel say that this is a one-way road. our military personnel there suffered two or three medical casualties, but 3 days ago there were six wounded.

irresponsible on the part of the country's political leadership, this is footage of the night work of the crews of the grad rocket systems, group center, ural guards motorized rifle regiment, salvos are fired from camouflaged positions, fortified areas, equipment and manpower are hit, which has become a serious support for the assault units, which have now moved forward unhindered, but now let’s talk about how our military achieves high results on the front line, constant training on... they devote time to training every day, analyze tactics, conduct fire training, everyone has real combat experience, but they say that they are arrogant, this is not about them, there is always something to learn. denis

alekseev, olga rebrova, news! in the zaporozhye region, vladimir putin’s proposal to solve the problem associated with the deficit will be considered. workers, governor yevgeny baletsky announced this. let me remind you that during the live broadcast of the year-end program, the chief physician of the melitopol oncology center addressed the president, spoke about the shortage of doctors, and asked for additional support measures. vladimir putin, in turn, proposed increasing the allowances under the zemsky doctor program, to 2 million rubles for doctors, to 1 million for felchers, this is the first reaction from the region. the president reacted today in the most decisive way possible, we now understand. tasks that we face , but there are some points, boris aleksandrovich, please, what is the situation with doctors in medicine today, and accordingly, to what extent the proposal will be relevant today and what needs to be made to it, what changes, shortage of personnel for doctors we currently have more than 1,300

people, staffing levels are less than 50%. this means, nevertheless, this year , thanks to your support and efforts government attracted 139 doctors to the industry. there are 176 paramedical personnel, 15 healthcare organizers, but we understand that this is still not enough. thanks to today’s decisions announced by the president, women should make decisions in favor of preserving the life of a child, but women’s rights must also be respected. this is how vladimir

putin answered the question of whether restrictions on abortion are necessary and will be introduced. and as an example of the consequences of such thoughtless prohibitions, the president cited the sadly well-known anti-alcohol campaign that was carried out in soviet times. natalya soloveva, more details. one after another, over the course of the year, a number of regions introduced measures against abortion. they have already introduced punishment for inducing interruptions.

but no, as for any bans , i know, just now i remembered the bans in the field of the anti-alcohol campaign, we remember what this led to, it led to the use of surrogates, to an increase in moonshine production, to an increase in victims from these poisonings with these surrogates, and here in this in this area, which you just... mentioned and which we are now talking about, we also need to act very carefully,

of course, of course, i know the position of the church, and the church cannot have another position, but there are sharp disputes at the regional level do not subside, in the lipetsk region, since the beginning of december , it is possible to terminate a pregnancy only in a state clinic, all for the sake of demography, today an important agreement was signed in the regional health department on the refusal of private clinics in the lipetsk region from abortions, now they will be carried out only in public hospitals, now we will be able to save more lives, because the overwhelming number of women continue their pregnancy. in neighboring kursk, literally on the eve of the direct line with the president, governor starovoyd spoke out harshly: under no circumstances should abortions be prohibited or limited. it is my firm conviction of our entire team, including experts, that under no circumstances should abortions be prohibited or limited, under any circumstances. firstly, this is... a woman’s right, and secondly, there are many indications for this, including personal decision

the woman herself, it should be untouchable. in the nizhny novgorod region, on the contrary, a ban on the procedure in private clinics is not just being discussed, they have proposed extending it to the entire country, as well as liability for inducement. in the upper house of the russian parliament , speaker valentina matvienko previously spoke about this sensitive topic and emphasized: a balanced approach is important, no matter what clinic a woman goes to. over a woman, or for medical reasons, we are moving towards this, but of

course, the efficiency of this work needs to be increased, it’s easier to ban everything, it’s impossible to ban it, life is structured differently, and god forbid, of course, if we allow such bans to go underground and start doing something about it. these medical operations are not in a medical facility under the supervision of a doctor in appropriate conditions, but somewhere in unsuitable places, this is a threat to life.

natalya solovyova, lead. let’s tell you what this day is memorable for in history right now. hello. on december 15, 533, the roman legions crushed the vandals at the battle of tricomare in north africa. the vandals were germans. in alliance with other tribes, they first ravaged the roman provinces in gaul and spain, and then invaded africa and created their own kingdom centered in carthage. it included the territories of modern libya, tunisia, fat, as well as sardinia and corsica, from where the barbarians launched raids on the western roman empire and byzantium. once they even captured and plundered rome, but when the byzantine commander belisarius occupied carthage, his brother, sazon, hurried to the aid of the vandal king gelemer. and then in a general battle took place in the town of trikomar. there were more vandals than the romans,

but the cavalry of the civilization defeated them. sazon died, and gelemer fled with the remnants of his army and soon surrendered. thus fell the kingdom of the vandals. on december 15, 1775 , princess tarakanova, one of the most mysterious figures in russian history of the 16th century, died in the peter and paul fortress. true, they called the adventurer an impostor after her death. her real name is unknown. she passed herself off either as a persian princess, or as a book princess from vladimir, or from azov, but she was very beautiful, seduced rich and noble people. held her court and announced that she was the daughter of empress elizabeth from count alexei razumovsky. i came up with this after the uprising of pugachev, who called himself the deceased peter ii. in italy, the impostor tried to seduce the commander of the russian squadron, alexei orlov, but he, on behalf of the empress, lured her onto his ship and took her to st. petersburg. catherine ii offered to admit bookishly

that she was an ordinary woman, but she refused and died in captivity. december 15. 1913 in the first futuristic performances, the tragedy of vladimir mayakovsky and the opera "victory over the sun", began in st. petersburg. futurists called for the destruction of traditional culture and society in order to build a new world on the ruins, epotage, avant-garde, abstraction, bearing elements of their work. mayakovsky depicted the ugliness of the bourgeois world and the loneliness of the poet and prophet. quote: an unnecessary tear is flowing from my unshaven cheek.

admission to volokolamsk. the paratroopers were commanded by captain ivan starchak, master of sports, the first in the ussr to accomplish more thousands of parachute jumps. he had dozens of successful reconnaissance and sabotage operations, due to weather conditions, low clouds, blizzards, frost - 35°, only part of the detachment landed - 147 soldiers, but the task was completed.

having broken up into sabotage groups, they attacked enemy columns, cut communications , blew up 29 bridges, burned 48 tankers with gasoline , knocked out two tanks, destroyed at least 400 enemy soldiers, the nazis fled, all paratroopers were awarded a starchak for this feat order of lenin. on december 15, 1984 , the soviet interplanetary automatic station vega 1 went into space, and was soon joined by its twin vega. their task included exploring venus and halley's comet, hence the name. having approached the planet, the stations dropped their landing modules; they managed to transmit valuable scientific information, including about the venusians. on the ground , balloon probes with radio equipment and scientific instruments were simultaneously launched, they sent data about the atmosphere of venus to the ground, and the stations themselves

rushed to meet the comet and approached to it at an incredibly close distance, about 9,000 km, this happened for the first time; the study of the core and gas-dust shell made it possible to obtain unique scientific results, including about one and a half thousand images of halley's comet. this is what this day in history was like, today they saw absolutely calm strength, confidence that tasks will be completed, within a manageable situation, i’ll tell you this, the red lines run there as one of the most important threats, i’m not ready now this is to say, that's exactly right, but i think that after a while we will see. that exactly today was such , you know, a turning point, because earlier, this is their state, the state of the westerners -

for the last 2 months there, there was such a growing suspicion that we might not lose, that russia might not lose this confrontation with the west , of course, i run the risk of jinxing it, but i’ll take the risk anyway, in my opinion. from today the suspicion will begin to grow that we can win, yes, this is the worst thing for them, because a strong person is able to listen, including listening to opponents, including listening to very unpleasant questions, sometimes so acute, because i’ll tell you this, the degree of openness to questions today was absolutely colossal, beyond the pale, so nothing like that, i think not, not only...

medium-term planning of our priorities, in my opinion, this is very important, but i’ll still note one more thing, this is, of course, this turnaround, in general, this , of course, was an event that was most devoted to internal issues and a special military operation , international the theme, yes it was there, but it was, as they say, in addition to, this is very important.

history that the source of stability of state power, in fact the source of sovereignty, is the people, this is what

it ended up with.

wonderful question, who to talk to, we are ready, but there is no partner on the other side, so if he appears, then you are welcome, but something tells me that if things go like this, he will be there for a long time not to travel, at least until january 2025 for sure, i also liked it, what was directly said by your friend,
