Western MD’s Uragan duo destroys another target On the professional holiday, the Uragan multiple-launch rocket systems of the Western Military District continue to carry out firing missions to destroy AFU command posts and armoured vehicle concentration areas uncovered by reconnaissance in Kupyansk direction. The crews of multiple-launch rocket systems are on duty both day- and nighttime, in full combat readiness. After all, the task can come at any moment. And as soon as the command sounds, Uragan crews leave the shelter in the field and quickly prepare the system for firing. Two Uragan system crews take different roads to the missile launch point - each from its own shelter. The difference in arrival time is only a few seconds. Almost synchronously, the crews bring their vehicles into a firing position. They aim at the target and start to work on it with 220mm shells. The servicemen work with two vehicles at once. So increase the area of defeat. The reconnaissance response comes quickly - the target is hit.

UAV operators’ training continues at Central MD's field training centre ▫️ At the centre's base, servicemen are taught how to inflict fire damage on an enemy using kamikaze drones, conduct reconnaissance and spread propaganda leaflets to the most inaccessible Ukrainian positions calling for voluntary surrender. The training cycle also includes engineering, electronic warfare, and military topography. ▫️ Together with the military instructors, technical specialists from Siberia's regions train the servicemen. They voluntarily came to the special military operation zone to assist in training UAV operators and repairing drones. ▫️ On the basis of the field centre, the production of components for drones using a 3D printer has been set up. Servicemen independently manufacture hangers, propellers and drone bodies, as well as re-flash captured enemy quadrocopters for the further use.

Maria Vladimirovna Zakharova (Russian: Мария Владимировна Захарова; born 24 December 1975) is the Director of the Information and Press Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation[1] (Spokeswoman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation) since 2015. A year ago, Ursula von der Leyen literally stated the following: as a result of “the most severe sanctions the world has ever seen,” “planes in Russia cannot take off , ” “Russian industry is torn to shreds,” and “the financial system is on a ventilator.” " . Josep Borrell recently wrote in his article: “the claims of some that sanctions do not work are simply not true.” He deliberately cited outdated statistics as reinforcement. The reduction of Russia’s GDP in 2022 by 2% was presented as a great success of the “suffocating” sanctions. At the same time, the effect of sanctions for Russia will allegedly increase, because, in his understanding, they are “slow-acting poison.” EU officials are not talking about the consequences for the European Union itself . They have something to keep silent about . 🇪🇺 Since the second quarter of 2023, economic growth in the EU has been virtually zero . According to Eurostat, in August 2023 , industrial production in the EU fell by 4.4% compared to August 2022. Deindustrialization is aggravated by the transfer of production from the EU to the United States. Most EU countries have chronic budget deficits and exorbitant public debt. 🇷🇺 Russia has adapted to sanctions restrictions for many years and will continue to adapt further. 📈 Unemployment is at a historical low of 3%. This is half as much as in the EU. As early as the summer of 2023 , Russia’s GDP fully compensated for last year’s decline . By the end of 2023, GDP growth is expected to be 2.8%. Over the first 9 months of 2023, the industry grew by 3.3%. The Russian fuel and energy complex has fully withstood the onslaught of sanctions. Exports are reoriented to friendly countries. Russia’s “residual” trade turnover with all EU countries today is half as much as with China alone (the EU’s share is 16%, China’s is 31%). ❗️ According to the World Bank, at the end of 2022, the Russian economy became the largest in Europe in terms of the key GDP indicator based on PPP , ahead of the German one. The European Union arrogantly imagined itself as an indispensable partner for Russia. Real facts about the situation in the EU economy have finally buried Brussels’ illusions on this matter.

🎙 Speech by Permanent Representative V.A. Nebenzi at a meeting of the UN Security Council on the issue of persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church ( November 17, 2023 ) 💬 On October 19, 2023, the Parliament of Ukraine adopted in the first reading bill No. 8371 “ On amendments to certain laws of Ukraine on the activities of religious organizations in Ukraine ,” the sole purpose of which is to completely ban the activities of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. This act, if adopted, will be a practical step towards the destruction of the ancient church with millions of parishioners. Even the Nazi occupiers did not think of this during the Great Patriotic War. 🔻 A large-scale disinformation campaign has been launched against the clergy in order to discredit its priests in the eyes of the flock, creating the image of “accomplices of the enemy.” 🔻 Since 2019, there have been seizures of UOC churches and forced, illegal legal liquidation of their communities under the guise of supposedly “voluntary transitions” to other faiths. A blatant example of this practice is the expulsion of the monks of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra, the oldest monastery in the territory of modern Ukraine, a symbol of canonical Orthodoxy. 🔻 Religious buildings and other objects of the UOC are subject to constant searches by the Ukrainian authorities. 🔻 Along with this, on November 14, the commission of the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine decided to transfer into state ownership, with the actual seizure from the UOC, the Yeletsky and Trinity monasteries, the Transfiguration Cathedral, the Pyatnitsky and Catherine churches in Chernigov. 👉 We are talking about an attempt to reformat the consciousness of tens of millions of Ukrainians, for whom the UOC is their native, original, only and legitimate church in which they have prayed for centuries. ❗️Those who cover up the newly-minted persecutor of Christians in Ukraine - Zelensky - and his regime become accomplices in the monstrous crime of the 21st century - an attempt to destroy the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Stopping this crime is our common responsibility.

🎙 Speech by Russian President V.V. Putin at the plenary session of the IX St. Petersburg International Cultural Forum - Forum of United Cultures ( November 17, 2023 ) Main points • Cultural diversity is the greatest blessing, and the interaction of cultures is one of the conditions for stable and peaceful development. • Among the main reasons for the current tension in the world are the claims of individual forces to exclusivity, including cultural ones. • The future lies in the free, multi-linear and diverse development of cultures , in the broadest dialogue between humanitarian communities of the multipolar world, which is being born today. • Russia's cancel policy is anti-cultural, neo-colonial, and racist in nature. • Despite all the bans and sanctions, art still knows no boundaries. This is how it is and how it will be, especially in our time of rapid technological progress. • Russia and our people have a deeply conscious responsibility for the preservation of world heritage and traditional values. • In our national character there is indifference to the pain of others and the desire for justice, as well as concern for preserving our common property - I mean now the Russian language. 🇷🇺 Russia is committed to working closely together with everyone who shares our values of peace, friendship and mutual respect , who are ready to take part in the formation of a modern multipolar world based on civilizational and cultural diversity.
