🔹In #Kherson Direction, there is still no change. Heavy fights are ongoing. The AFU are continuing their attempts to extend their control over the forest belt across the road from #Krynki. Fighting continues in #Krynki itself, the AFU grouping is shrinking but not running out. In the area of #Kinburn Spit there is an increase in AFU shelling.

🔹In #Zaporozhye Direction, it is snowing. Therefore, the artillery is working without drone correction. The AFU attacks continue. North of #Verbovoye, our army is improving positions, as well as near #Novofyodorovka.

🔹In #SouthDonetsk Direction, with the support of artillery, our forces suddenly attacked from the direction of #Novodonetskoye towards Zolotaya Niva, but the enemy was able to hold their positions.
▪️In #Maryinka, also without changes. The AFU is not giving up their last positions, fierce counter fighting continues. But all the attempts of the enemy to counterattack remain without success.

🔹In #Donetsk Direction, on the northern #Avdeyevka flank, our army has significantly advanced on both sides of the railway line towards #Ocheretino. Our units are also moving towards #Novokalinovo on a broad front, and the AFU's attempts to move into the rear are being repulsed. There is heavy fighting in #Stepovoye itself, plus our forces are trying to advance south of the village. The AFU are fighting very fiercely in this area. The territory of the Coke Plant is still under the attack of Russian aviation and heavy artillery. On the ground ours are trying to strengthen their positions on the outskirts. On the southern flank, ours have taken the quarry behind the village of #Vinogradniki. But near #Severnoye and #Tonenkoye there are fierce battles, with no success for either side.

In the north of the #Soledar sector, our army continues its attacks on the borders of #Razdolovka - #Vesyoloye - #Belogorovka, with progress.

Nikolai Starikov on the Venezuela-Guyana crisis and the parallels with the Iraq-Kuwait war

The weekly program "In fact" features Nikolai Starikov speaking about the "pitfalls" of the recent referendum on the inclusion of the western part of neighboring Guyana - Essequibo - into Venezuela.

"Following the referendum, the president of Venezuela has a mandate of trust from the country's citizens to resolve the age-old territorial dispute with its neighbor - Guyana. At stake are oil-bearing swamps that promise fabulous wealth to the holder.

It all reminds me of the story of Saddam Hussein, who was brought to power in Iraq by US forces. The goal was very simple: to set Iraq and Iran to fight. That is, to strike Iran with Iraq.

Venezuela may step on the same rake if it falls for another US deception"
