The crew is preparing for a combat mission, all systems must be checked, the ammunition rack is also prepared, you need to love the tank, because it helps you out, helps you, saves you, if you dont love it, you wont love the tank, dont service it, then thats a disaster, a disaster, the machines it is clear that the deserving ones have been in various troubles, this is the crew of tankmen of the guards first slavic brigade, well, thats not the case anymore you will remember, because it is in the course of work. Tore it off after being hit close behind, they had already worked it out, they were driving empty without shells, they were driving to the point back with the arrival from behind, they almost hit us. The road at the front is difficult, it is necessary to go around not exploding shells, but puddles in the fields, in which western tanks, as is already known, would drown, are overcome on the move, in the avdievsky direction the task is to support the actions of our infantry, come on, one fire, one fire, plus , fire, shot, order dropped. Received a command to roll back to original, timely maintenance of each vehicle is the guarantee that it will not let you down in battle, check, look at oils, filters, lubricants, everything, batteries, everything is as it should be , like a friend or like a beloved woman, she is probably more like a beloved woman, shes already walking, friend this is a friend, more towards her, she is more affectionate, like a beloved woman, more so she is, well, of course, you can even talk to her, in front of you is a t80 tank, which. Literally the day before yesterday left the battle, you can see from it, that it has characteristic damage from fragments, from fpv, drones. Now the crew is carrying out restoration work, restoring the battle again. The tankers of the fifth brigade named after Alexander Zakharchenko put their multiton, but still swallows in order, and the peculiar feathers of these birds, dynamic protection, work in battle and save the vehicle and crew, then they need to be replaced. Small tremors, as if, well, if somewhere nearby, well, like a clap, and small tremors, we are driving as a commander, joking, as if we are carrying out so that the crew is in a normal fighting mood, there are different types of tanks and different modifications, but they go into battle in one general formation, and there are very unusual, but necessary copies, it seems like a tank, but not quite a tank, or rather not a tank at all, its a brem combat repair and recovery vehicle, a socalled tow truck, this should be. As part of any tank unit. The mission of this crew is to provide ambulance and pull the wounded from the battlefield, and the wounded here is a tank, that is, you need to jump up to the damaged one, hook it and quickly pull it to a safe place. We had the fastest evacuation it was 2 minutes. In evacuation time has its own little things, somewhere i took a slightly wrong turn, maybe at the moment it might throw me off, but then if it throws me off, what does that mean it will throw you off . Well, it will lead me aside, but what if i. The crimean bridge to the russian rear, gave the bundeswehr generals who were planning attacks on the Largest Opposition Party in germany, the cdu another reason to return to the issue of supplying taurus cruise missiles to ukraine, which is something to be embarrassed about, since now everyone knows everything. In addition, the allies from london put forward a proposal for the socalled Ring Exchange. Germany transfers the taurus to britain, and they send their stormheads to kiev. Maybe now the chancellor will come to the bundestag and tell them Something Different from what he said before. Are described as hesitation and cowardice, german citizens are afraid of this approach, they are afraid when with the categories of whether you trust them or not, they begin to approach issues on which the security of germany depends. Scholz has so far withstood the pressure exerted on him not only by the conservatives, but also by the prestigious ones in his own coalition. Available democrats and greens are closer to the christiandemocratic opposition on the taurus issue. The other day, the minister of foreign. Is participating in an economic war against russia through sanctions, and also supplies ukraine with a significant amount of weapons , supplies of taurus cruise missiles with a firing range of over 500 km, with the help of which it would be possible to destroy the kremlin, will be clearly regarded by russia as declaration of war by germany, therefore it is correct and necessary to continue to refuse to suppress this red line, namely from the supply of taurus missiles. Taurus wont help. Cruise missiles without endangering its in the future, it will be able to transfer more of its own National Defense to ukraine, and the socalled Ring Exchange through allies will also become more feasible. In other words, the transfer of taurus to ukraine threatens not only an escalation in relations with russia, but also that germany itself will face a shortage of the most powerful Weapons Systems at its disposal. Although deficit is the most common state of affairs when talking comes to the german army, especially now that germany has actually taken over the ukrainian army, which must be continuously supplied with everything that they themselves lack. Unfortunately, i have to admit that the bundesfer still lacks everything. There is a shortage of ammunition, spare parts, communications equipment, tanks, warships and aircraft. The problem is not only with tanks and ships. Macrons efforts to form a coalition in europe willing to undertake a military intervention in ukraine can only be compared with his activity in suppressing antiwar opposition within france. The opposition is resisting. And speak about goodness, denying any opposition, the millions of french who represent it. Chest, ill tell you this, i prefer to stick out , i need to stop sticking out my chest, so i m not lying on my stomach in front of russia and its aggression. Macron sent the Prime Minister to storm the national assembly, arming him with an agreement on strategic cooperation with ukraine. This is an addition to the security guarantee pact that was signed at the end of february. Atal, fortunately for him he risked little; in parliament , only arrows of criticism could fly into his baked chest. Emmanuel macrons pathological narcissism forces him to constantly outperform others. The idea that a partnership with ukraine will strengthen our security is complete nonsense. Do i need to remind you that ukraine. This is a warring country, an agreement with a warring country inevitably leads to war. We will vote unanimously against this agreement, which imposes vague obligations on us for 10 years with vague goals. We are not must enter into military conflict with russia. Thanks to the efforts of the opposition, the strategic agreement did not include a clause on the possibility of sending troops into ukraine, but this vague document itself was approved by a majority vote. And on friday macron will probably bring him to berlin to show scholz how to work. They will be accompanied by polish Prime Minister tusk, who has been invited to act as a lightning rod. Scholzs relationship with macron is sparkling, and the unofficial purpose of the meeting is to ease unnecessary tension between germany and france. The probability of success is 50 50. Much will depend on tomorrows vote in the bundestag, which, with the support of the opposition from the cdu, will make the third attempt in 2 months to push the taurus for. Trump to the white house, biden invited another donald there, polish Prime Minister tusk, who, unlike the american tesk , wants more american in europe. Tusks guide to washington, president duda, managed to be frank with the american media. Report by dmitry melnikov. At a meeting at the white house, president duda Prime Minister tusk we arrived in different cars. Relations between polands leaders are tense, but the goal in washington is the same. A quarter of a century ago , poland joined nato, now the fate of the alliance, and at the same time ukraine, directly depends on who will be the master in the white house, for now it is biden, but he does not look like the master of the situation, he has no good news for europeans, there is on the horizon trump is looming, and congress does not give kiev money, and they have to be content with little, with difficulty scraping together 300 million. We can transfer these funds without recourse. But we need a lot more money. A consolation package from biden personally, the first in 2 months. And whether it will be remains unknown. The modest set was collected by putting pressure on weapons manufacturers to reduce selling prices. The assistance package includes missiles for the stinger complexes, ammunition for the hymars, and artillery shells. And in the white house, in the pentagon, they admit that this ammunition will be enough for ukraine for a couple of weeks. For now the rest of europe only. Preparing to take on the burden of maintaining ukraine, poland was the first in nato to increase military spending to 4 of gdp. President duda reports to the white house on successes and encourages others to follow suit. The us is now and must remain a leader on security issues, but other allies must take more responsibility. Thats why i think all nato countries need to raise their spending. Problems, the poles hear routine phrases about supporting ukraine, at the meeting with speaker johnson everyone is smiling, but there are no results. I still hope that mr johnson will feel responsible for the thousands of lives in ukraine. It is known that in the usa duda was going to meet with trump, but the white house strongly recommended not to do so. And the jealousy of the Biden Administration is understandable; on the eve, trump formally completed the marathon of the primary elections without surprises. Polish Prime Minister donald tusk knows the former us president well from his past work and is sure that the signals that trump version 2. 0 is sending to europe do not bode well. I have a lot to say about Donald Trumps intentions. I worked with him for many years when i was head of the european council. We must be ready. That the pressure america on putin on russia will decrease. The inevitable rematch between biden and trump has already become a major factor of uncertainty for the transatlantic alliance. And further hope in the united states, they understand in europe, may turn out to be a fatal mistake, as they did not want to avoid this, but the europeans will probably have to decide the fate of ukraine themselves. It is already clear that the fate of america, and the entire west, will be determined by a historical rematch, for the first time since. Pavel melnik visited the First Construction site along with specialists. Eat first ton of soil. Work on the construction of the adler bypass has begun. The depth of the arch is 4 m 59 cm. At this site, preparatory work is underway to construct a portal wall made of bored piles. Bored piles for the prokhodchevsky shield tunnel. It is he who will lead the traffic flows from the overloaded adler through. Virtual tourists are already driving along the new adler bypass on a threedimensional model of several tunnels at once, the driver drives 6 km underground, another 4 and a half along the highway above it, there are many transport vehicles junctions on the kudepsta section are high, where work started, you can turn towards sochi, in the direction of abkhazia to krasnaya polyana. A symbolic place for the greater sochi, where 10 years ago, for the olympics , a highspeed highway appeared in the mountain cluster, now. Construction of a new one is starting, its hard to imagine now, but cars will fly along it just as quickly without traffic jams. One of the busiest roads in the south of russia will be able to breathe more freely by 2026, and a little later the entire federal highway a147 from dzhubga to sochi. Narrow with heavy traffic, where there are practically no places for overtaking, it will receive a highspeed backup. Seven new sections at once will reduce travel time by almost three times; in the summer, the route from dzhubga to sochi is extended. For at least 6 hours, although it would seem only 217 km, we want to relax, swim, but we cant, but what can we do, a traffic jam is a traffic jam. Now that the highway has all the necessary approvals, builders are erecting fences and clearing areas. We have been preparing for several years, there is funding, but we see support the administration of sochi, the administration of the krasnodar region, and the most important thing is that we go together in december 26. This object. Now the phrase on a vadler car is synonymous with testing, expensive tickets are burned in traffic jams, people who are late for the train walk right along the route with suitcases, emotions run high, some drivers line up behind the ambulance, provoking a collision, the road network is at its limit. On this section between sirius and sochi during the season you can stay for an hour or two, the only road along the coast is here now we are editing this story in a traffic jam, which in a few years will be forgotten by. Nikita kalchenko, olga allenkina and ekaterina bobkova. News from sochi.

Festival participants from africa, south america, europe and asia met the hospitable urals back at the airport, where they. Were bread and butter, and the final point was the fighting urals with the real history of the military exploits of the soviet people, that in russia they know how to not only have fun, but work, the participants of the world Youth Festival were convinced of the steel heart of donbass, alchevsk, there we treated ourselves to local ice cream, natural, without substitutes for harmful additives, pancakes and enjoyed the beauty of a russian song.

In the khabarovsk territory , shamans did their best to warm the guests with ritual dances; the region greeted them with severe frost, however, some did not notice it at all.

Luzhniki, after reconstruction, once again opened the famous universal friendship hall, its a landmark event for thousands of sports fans, it was built specifically for the 1980 olympics. Report by maxim oparin. Having spread either its petals or the rays of the sun, there has never been a consensus on this matter. The druzhba Sports Complex has regained its familiarity. The appearance looks exactly the same as muscovites are used to seeing it. The reconstruction was long and difficult, all because of the difficult architectural solution. The main difficulty in the work was that the building was complex. All 28 petals, all different, all different sizes, bend in several planes, so it was necessary to adjust all the materials directly here in place. Inside it is a modern Sports Complex; in this hall, for example, you can practice volleyball and table tennis. A very good hall, in terms of its conditions, accordingly, another additional place appears in moscow, in the center. Provides universal Shock Absorption on the floor. One of the main advantages of this gym is that there is a place for everyone, both professionals, those who are now training behind my back and such amateurs like me, and there is enough space for everyone in one hall, the large hall for major competitions is designed for 3,000 spectators
