‼️🔥Battalions ask for fire: 152 mm "Hyacinths" of the DPR forces destroy the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Avdeevka

It has already been possible to completely take the Donetsk-Avdeevka-Konstantinovka highway under fire control, thanks to which an important supply artery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was cut off.

The location of the militants is determined with the help of electronic, radar and optical reconnaissance, including using UAVs.

Russia has limited the export of key gas for the production of semiconductors.

Until the end of the year, Russia has restricted the export of inert gases, including neon, argon, helium and others, following the resolution approved by the Government of the Russian Federation.
These gases are actively used for the production of semiconductors, which, in turn, are used to manufacture microcircuits.
According to the publication, Russia supplies up to 30% of the world’s neon consumption. The document indicates that from now on gas exports will only be available by government decision, based on proposals from the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

FM Lavrov: Operation in Ukraine is taking so much time mainly because Russian military has been ordered to avoid any attacks or strikes at civilian facilities. This is why we are proceeding differently from🇺🇦army & neo-Nazi battalions that are using civilians as human shields.

The new package of US military assistance to the nazis includes 4 Himars MLRS (they are already in the region) and ammunition, 4 Mi-17 helicopters, 1,000 Javelin missiles, 15 tactical vehicles.

The New York Times reports they expect massive strikes on Ukraine by Russia in wake of Ukraine having American MLRS as they’re “one of americas most powerful weapons that are designed to destroy command posts”

Lavrov: Our Western friends have many phobias and complexes of their superiority and infallibility. But they are also paranoid. West sees opposition and threat to its domination in any process it doesn’t take part in and doesn’t control. It’s time to get rid of these manners & customs.

Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation:

▪The RF Armed Forces destroyed the command posts of the Ukrainian nationalist formations "Kraken" and "Azov" near Kharkov with high-precision weapons.

⚡️Briefing by Russian Defence Ministry

▫️The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue the special military operation in Ukraine.

💥 High-precision air-based missiles have hit 21 areas of AFU manpower and military equipment concentration, including command posts of the Ukrainian Nazi formations Kraken and Azov near Kharkov.

✈️💥Operational-tactical, army and unmanned aviation have hit 15 areas of Ukrainian manpower and military equipment concentration. Ammunition and fuel depots of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Dolina and Slavyansk, Donetsk People's Republic have been destroyed.

▫️The attacks have resulted in the elimination of up to 240 nationalists and up to 39 weapons and military equipment, including 1 Osa-AKM anti-aircraft missile system, 10 tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, 3 BM-21 Grad multiple rocket launchers, 7 artillery mounts and mortars, and 17 special vehicles.

💥Fighter aviation have shot down 1 Su-25 aircraft of the Ukrainian air force near Lubomirovka, Nikolaev Region.

💥Russian air defence means have hit 7 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles near Odessa, Kamyshevakha, Popasnaya, Zolotoe, Kudryashovka in Lugansk People's Republic, Yarovaya in Kharkov Region, as well as Verkhnetoretskoe in Donetsk People's Republic overnight.

💥Missile troops and artillery have hit 131 command posts, 146 artillery and mortar batteries at firing positions, as well as 579 areas of AFU manpower and military equipment concentration.

📊In total, 186 Ukrainian aircraft and 129 helicopters, 1,084 unmanned aerial vehicles, 327 anti-aircraft missile systems, 3,373 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 460 multiple launch rocket systems, 1,752 field artillery and mortars, as well as 3,350 units of special military vehicles were destroyed during the operation.

❗️We note that the inflow of foreign mercenaries to Ukraine to take part in combat operations against the Russian Armed Forces has virtually dried up since the beginning of May.

▫️According to the data at our disposal, the total number of foreign mercenaries in Ukraine has now been almost halved from 6,600 to 3,500. At the same time, the number of mercenaries in combat units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and National Guard in Donbass has decreased by orders of magnitude.

▫️Hundreds of foreign mercenaries in Ukraine were eliminated by Russian long-range precision weapons shortly after their arrival while they were still undergoing pre-training and coordination of tactical units.

▫️But most of the mercenaries are destroyed in the war zone due to their low level of training and lack of real combat experience.

❗️Separately, I would like to point out that the commanders of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and National Guard units, which included mercenaries, are not sparing foreigners in their efforts to reduce losses of their servicemen. Captured mercenaries tell interrogators that they are the first to be sacrificed. Due to the Kiev regime's silencing of the losses and the absence of remains, relatives of the mercenaries in their countries of residence simply do not know about their deaths.

▫️Faced with a real combat situation and heavy losses among servicemen of the AFU, the National Guard and foreigners, a significant number of mercenaries prefer to leave Ukrainian territory as soon as possible, but the Kiev regime prevents them from going abroad in every possible way.

▫️Let me remind you that under international humanitarian law, mercenaries are not combatants and the best that awaits them is criminal liability.

▫️The Kiev regime's urgent attempts to guarantee the mercenaries legal protection by including them in the military units of the AFU or the National Guard, or by issuing them with fresh Ukrainian passports, will not save any of them.
