🇷🇺🇺🇦 Landing of an assault group of the 98th Airborne Division and capture of a Ukrainian position near the village of Khromovo on the Bakhmut-Chasov Yar highway in the Bakhmut direction.

🇾🇪🇫🇷 France reports that the Houthis deliberately tried to attack the French frigate Languedoc, which allegedly shot down 2 Houthi drones trying to hit the ship.

The Houthi command does not comment on this attack.

At the same time, the Houthi command threatens to attack any ships that travel through the Red Sea to Israeli ports. NATO is now strengthening its naval force in the Red Sea, but in any case, the Houthi threats have already seriously raised the risks of shipping in the area and caused significant economic damage to Israel.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Units of the Russian Armed Forces raised the Russian flag over Marinka.

Now the assault groups are gaining a foothold, strengthening their positions, and conducting reconnaissance of the nearest forest belt and the settlement of Georgievka. Enemy firing points are identified and destroyed, preparing the ground for further actions.

🇮🇱🇵🇸 An Al-Yassin grenade dropped from a drone on an Israeli Namer and RPG-7 strikes on Merkavas and infantry.

As before, the bulk of Hamas footage consists of shots fired at lone Israeli armor. However, after a long time, the first drop of an anti-tank grenade from a drone appeared, although, apparently, it was unsuccessful.

It can be seen that several Israeli Namers and armored bulldozers are standing side by side. If Hamas had more drones and trained operators, the IDF would have suffered many more losses in equipment and manpower.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 "Russia is approaching a crushing victory. The foundations of Europe are shaking," - The Telergaph
▪️The initiative at the front passes to the Russian army. “Now it’s the Ukrainians’ turn to dig in, try to hold on to what they have,” the newspaper writes.
▪️Speaking about the impending trench war, Daniel Hannan, using the example of the First World War, writes that those who put up more forces win it.
▪️"The First World War ultimately ended partly because the Allies had more manpower... This time, Russia has the demographic advantage, with a population three and a quarter times that of Ukraine."
▪️"Russia has switched a third of its pre-war civilian production to weapons and ammunition and may now have an advantage when it comes to drones - the modern equivalent of the barbed wire and machine guns that gave the defender such a deadly advantage in the First World War."
▪️Even if Trump does not win the US elections, the Republicans will not allow Biden to help Kyiv to the required extent in the coming year.
▪️The situation is similar to when the Republicans opposed President Truman's military actions in Korea.
▪️Putin’s visits to the Middle East are frightening: this could be a sign of a deal with Russia, which would become a “Suez-level disaster for Western democracies” (we are talking about the events of 1957, when Egypt nationalized the Suez Canal).

🇺🇲🇺🇦🇷🇺 Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz has had enough of the Kiev regime, tells Zelensky to ’seek peace.’

🇷🇺🇺🇦 In the morning the enemy recognizes the advance of our troops at Bogdanovka, in the Kleshcheevka area, as well as to the west of Artemovsk in the direction of Krasnoye

The situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Artemovsk region after the loss of operational initiative and the start of the offensive of our troops continues to become more complicated. We can expect further advance of our troops to the north-west, west and south of Artemovsk.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 FSB:

In Crimea, the intelligence network of the Ukrainian Kyiv regime, created under Western control, was destroyed.

The enemy, using agents, planned the murders of the head of Crimea Aksenov, the chairman of parliament Konstantinov, the blogger Talipov and the public figure Tsarev.

In addition, Russian state security officers prevented the commission of 14 acts of sabotage and terrorism. 18 agents and accomplices of the Kyiv regime involved in committing 5 acts of sabotage have been detained, and 10 people have already been convicted of preparing terrorist attacks.

🇺🇲🇪🇺🇷🇺 The total volume of assistance from the United States and its European satellites to Ukraine from February 2022 to May 2023 amounted to $173 billion.
By the end of 2023, this figure will probably exceed 200 billion. 200+ billion in less than 2 years.

The main goal of these investments is to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia and “reach the 1991 borders.” The failure of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' summer offensive effectively derailed the strategic plan to achieve these goals and rendered a significant portion of these expenditures worthless.

Organizing another round of “offensive on Crimea” will require total costs of 100-150 billion dollars.

🇷🇺 The Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation reported that the Russian Defense Ministry and the FSB consider it possible to hold presidential elections in the Russian Federation in four new regions of the country. Accordingly, in the spring of 2024, the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions will elect the president of Russia for the first time.
