🇷🇺🇮🇱Putin on Israel:

- Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip are worthy of nothing but condemnation. There is nothing more to add here.

– Israel is the main beneficiary of the events in Syria

– Russia condemns any seizure of Syrian territories by Israel
Israeli troops advanced 20-25 km into Syria and captured fortifications that were built by Soviet specialists

🇷🇺❗️Putin on gas transit:

— Ukraine received $800 million from the Russian Federation for gas transit;
— There will definitely be no more contract for gas transit through Ukraine, but Gazprom will survive this;
— Russia will continue to increase its share of global LNG markets.

The President also reported that the Slovak special services detained Ukrainian saboteurs with maps of the country's gas system. Kyiv was probably preparing a major terrorist attack.

🇷🇺🇺🇦The Ukrainian Armed Forces are gradually becoming depleted, while the Russian army is moving forward, Putin said.

🇷🇺🇸🇾Putin said that he has not yet spoken with Bashar al-Assad since his overthrow in Syria, but will definitely meet with him.
It is important to remember that Assad received corresponding security guarantees from Putin back in the first half of the 2010s, and Russia does not violate such guarantees.

Putin does not consider the current situation in Syria a defeat for Russia. According to him, Russia has already achieved its goals in Syria. Regarding the bases, the issue is still in limbo. Everything will depend on negotiations with the new Syrian authorities.

The Khmeimim base may be used in the future to deliver humanitarian aid to Syria.

Aleppo was captured by 350 militants. 30,000 Syrian and pro-Iranian troops did not offer them the necessary resistance.
Russia helped evacuate 4,000 Iranian fighters from Syria.

🇷🇺🇺🇦Putin reported that the largest concentration of NATO equipment along the entire front line is now in the Kursk region.
It is also where it suffers the largest losses, and now the Kursk region is the largest cemetery of NATO equipment in the world. A hint that the enemy has already surpassed the Rabotin salient in terms of losses.

In principle, the number of videos with destroyed equipment is indeed comparable. After the end of the Kursk operation, it will be interesting to compare the calculations of specialized resources that keep count of destroyed armored vehicles with the results of the "counteroffensive".

On the SMO, Putin said that it is impossible to guess when the SMO will end (this is the path)

The enemy is currently being driven out of the Kursk region (which is noticeable by the changing front line)

🇷🇺❗️Colonel General Nikolai Yuryev has resigned from his post as head of the FSB military counterintelligence department, a source from the Russian Military National Police.

Some sources link Yuryev's departure to failures in operational activities within the Ministry of Defense system.

🇷🇺🇺🇦The Russian Defense Ministry officially announced that yesterday Ukraine struck the Rostov region with six ATACMS missiles and four Storm Shadow missiles.

It was stated that the missiles hit the Kamensky Combine and all were shot down except for one, which damaged a building on the territory of the combine.

At the same time, the Russian Ministry of Defense once again stated that “this attack will not go unanswered.”

🇷🇺🇺🇦Russia has advanced into Kurakhovo, according to a Deep State map.

Almost the entire city is now listed as under Russian control or in the grey zone. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are listed as present only on the far western outskirts.

The Russian Federation also finally captured Uspenovka and the entire “pocket” to the south of Kurakhovo.

🇷🇺🇺🇦The Ukrainian Armed Forces retreated across the Psel River in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation, leaving the village of Plekhovo, Forbes reports.

The publication writes that Plekhovo was attacked by Russian and North Korean troops, who had a numerical advantage, and therefore the Ukrainian military left the village.

At the same time, as stated in the publication, the Psel River became a natural barrier for the further continuation of the Russian-North Korean offensive, on which the Ukrainian Armed Forces organized a new line of defense.
