enemy fpv drones and mortars are trying to carry out reconnaissance on the combat vehicle. move forward, move forward, as received, we are moving forward. the hunt for us is dense, there are unmanned aerial vehicles in the air, they they copy our coordinates, as soon as we fire a salvo at the target, they fire back at us, or counter-battery fire. after the strike, the crew pours water, a shelter from drones above the combat vehicle. don't understand much, it won't catch fire, sometimes, they change very often now. frequencies, well, in

evgeny kirilenko, mikhail siberev, news, kursk region. belgorod region under shelling by the armed forces of ukraine in the village of murom after an attack by drones burned two private houses and 10 outbuildings. about this. and so deputy minister of foreign affairs of russia sergei rebkov commented on the sanctions imposed by the united states against the art tv channel. the diplomat noted that russia intends to respond harshly to the restrictions. according to him, washington's actions confirm how much the culture of freedom of speech has degraded in zapata.

evgeniya petruhevna has the details. yes, they are real media spies, working for russian special services, collecting information abroad. the state department, it seems, can no longer watch. how the american audience switches to artie, can not, in particular anthony blinken, and therefore does everything to cut off the oxygen to russian media, conspiracy theories have already entered. as part of expanding the capabilities of rt, the russian the government created a unit within arti with cyber operational capabilities with links to russian intelligence. arti's leadership had information about this enterprise, russian government entities incorporated the cyber capabilities of this unit into the structure.

help us, i will try to give you more information, it's always funny when you prepare materials, you never know what exactly will interest you, i never manage to prepare properly. coordinator of the center for global engagement, state department usa james rubin, unlike his

senior colleague in the shop anthony blinken, at some point nevertheless moved away from vague formulations. and, perhaps without realizing it, he named one of the main reasons for the american pressure on russian media. in his opinion, it is precisely because of artia's will that many countries in the world do not support ukraine. one of the reasons why so many countries in the world do not support ukraine to the extent that one might expect is the wide scale of artia's activities and his reach. propaganda, disinformation and lies are distributed among millions, if not billions of people around the world. that is , washington is afraid that the viewer will believe an alternative point of view, i'm not sure. they ban it, well, it's clear that they have elections, they why are they doing this now, closing it, they want to distract with something, but the most important thing is that on the eve of the same elections they do not need such a huge number of people to know the truth, they need to shut everyone's mouths, this is

a story about freedom and democracy in the free west, it seems to me that only or completely clinical idiots can believe in it now or people who are obviously biased, it is very... easy to promote freedom of speech , it is very easy to practice freedom of speech, when this freedom is only your word and nothing more. well, in addition to the accusations of espionage, anthony blinken presented artie with the fact that they...

russian journalists were subjected to a real terrorist information attack by the united states of america, they were subjected to a real terrorist information attack as a corporation, and also in their personal capacity. this is not an accident, this is not a mistake, this is a chain of planned actions, this is an attack on freedom of speech is an attack on the profession.

screams about espionage, which even a western viewer is unlikely to believe. evgeniya petrukhina,

the spread of fire to the houses of residents, no casualties. nikita seleznev, sergey maltsev, vesti voronezh. the modern world is going through a difficult period of formation multipolarity. now it is especially important to protect freedom of speech, to fight for the reliability of information. this was stated by vladimir putin in a video address to the employees of the russian information telegraph agency. the president congratulated the staff and veterans of tas on the 120th anniversary of the agency. from the very first days of its work, tas reflected the spirit and

trend of the times, quickly and clearly reported on events that took place anywhere on the planet, set the highest standards of journalism, the agency has always attracted gifted, creative people who are passionate about their the work of people, the names of correspondents, photographers, and observers of the agency were always on everyone's lips, they were known and respected and... in the journalistic community among the people, in our country, abroad, a special heroic page of tas, work during the great patriotic war. the work of frontline correspondents, their courage, and their desire for victory created an invaluable chronicle of the feat of the people who crushed nazism. tas today maintains the continuity of the best traditions, is a real forge of personnel for new generations of journalists, and is developing dynamically, as required by the modern digital

era. well, and also vladimir putin appointed a participant in the special operation, a hero of russia. and artur orlov as the new chairman of the board of the movement of the first, artur orlov is 35 years old, he is the commander of a tank battalion of the ninetieth guards tank division of the central military district, the former head of the movement of the first, grigory gusev was appointed head of rosmolodezh. basketball cska became the owner of the vtb united league super cup. in the final match, the capital's army team beat kazan unics. about the victory of the current champions of the country in the international. the vtb united league super cup is a traditional tournament, for the fourth year in a row , the four best russian teams plus two invited teams play before the start of the official season. this year, it was belgrade's cervena zvezda and istanbul's bešektaž. the clubs that came to us , bešektaž and cervena zvezda, show that

we have friends. they just need to be invited and look for new ones. that's it. and we shouldn't give up on the old ones, even if the old lady of europe and the americans are grumbling there, well, i'm sure that sport will eventually unite us all. in the final the vtb united league super cup was between cska and unics. these same teams played in the final series last season, so it is very logical that they played for the gomelsky cup in the pre-season tournament. this trophy, which is named after alexander yakovovich gomelsky, is very important for the entire structure. cska started the super cup final in a champion's way, in

the first quarter they allowed kazan to score only nine points, they secured a 20-point advantage for themselves by basketball standards. by rana standards. everything that happened on the court was pursuit of unix. in the third quarter, kazan even got close to cska at a distance of just one attack. unix failed to maintain this pace, and cska brought the matter to victory. 87:72. kaspyar veer, a serbian newcomer to cska, scored 15 points each for the winners. the club's main acquisition this summer is aleks avramovic. i think aleks avramovic needs no introduction. everyone knows him well from his performances for partizan, the serbian national team, and the world cup. this year he played great at the olympics, so i i think he will still show himself in the season and give us all pleasure. the new season of the vtb united league starts in exactly a week, next saturday in moscow in the opening match cska will play unics again. is celjska ready for the season? again, as if we are now assessed in some percentage ratio, we are here, the season is already starting, and

we are ready to enter it. the new season of the vtb united league starts in a week, which one is the main one? can you personally single out for yourself? yes, look, the cska uks final, they are opening the season of the twenty-first, these same teams, this is a repeat of the final of the last season and what hot skirmishes there were, you also saw, i think, it will be a very difficult very intriguing match, it is necessary to note that four circles are not two at all, and four circles mean a completely different other preparation, it is necessary to definitely use not 12.

become, as they say, comrades of the future. attentively proceed to the awarding by the decision of the commander of the group of troops north marriage, courage and dedication

shown in the performance of military duty are awarded. i serve the russian federation. so once again the command on behalf of the minister of defense, my congratulations, do not stop there, all goals will be achieved,

here's the same thing, comrade major, my deputy commander started serving, soviet, what year, 73 himself, who was mobilized, well, there is, yes , one more guy, yes, the contract has already been signed or not, comrade, of course not, dj - why?

i don't know here, he's not in the ranks - the one sudzhi , who was taken out, he was wounded, and the wounded soldier in the hospital, sudzhi himself was released just well, and

before the events he was on vacation, they were not well, 3 weeks, 3 weeks, ba, yes, 3 weeks , the main thing is just that it was enough, until the last one was all birds too everything when it ended let's say so there is a position yes in pivi here it is well it's not for me to tell you everything ended well what machine gun took everything control and so on how many more of them there were well that's already i don't know it's necessary well there is not

that more well more no more would have rested, just rested, well and watched the village to go there to see the situation, they drove up there several cars, now i'm already there insolently, yes, they simply didn't notice us, they wanted to storm the village, they drove up, stopped, they didn't see us, we made a decision that we should attack right now, because they have armored vehicles, bmps and all sorts of things, but we don't have anything heavy, there's a machine gun and there were already two magazines of ammunition,

well, that's it... well , we destroyed almost half of the groups, probably, and they just had a lot of fp, they immediately pulled up, it was yours then from a canister, they poured it on, waited, yes. why did you burn the equipment, it would have been better to take it, take it, but it was broken, last time there was such a case, they hook it, take it, take it, well, we had to burn it, you from a canister ran up and threw a grenade, there were two walking

around, it's not clear. they burned them after they went in, there were our wounded around the corner, they had to pick them up, and there was a little bit left, well, that is, two in one, that is, in a fit of rage, yes, once a russian soldier, no, he threw a grenade, it said something, it doesn't burn, it doesn't burn, well, that's it, he took the canister, drove up, they filled it up with some khlebchiki, there was some left, why waste the goods? he served russia, well done, they awarded him for it, but why, what did he get, what did they award him with, while we wait, what happened the hardest thing is, when they were holding them, by the way, there were prisoners there or they had already managed to take them out, they had managed to take them out or not, it turns out they planned that it would be a camp for prisoners of war, so in principle there was, and then you see there the popular rumor has already begun to tell that the prisoners stood together with

ours there tearing things apart with their hands. for pro-russian views, here the second one he was a real patriot of ukraine and all that, but he changed at the moment when we captured him, he changed, he became on our side, let's say so, well they fought, they fought, which soldier he fought, he worked as a machine gunner, when we stormed, their second officer was...
