⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Front #Summary for 12 Dec 2023 by 19:04⚡️

🔹In #Kherson Direction, it is reported from the field that our military have significantly strengthened their control over the piers and approaches to our coast. Our forces are striking boats carrying reserves and supplies to the AFU. Their numbers in #Krynki are inevitably decreasing. Localised daily battles at parity of forces also continue on the islands.

🔹In #Zaporozhye Direction, heavy rain and wind interfere with the work of artillery and drones. So there is relative calm at the front. Only at the #Verbovoye - #Novofyodorovka line our military repelled attacks by small AFU groups.

🔹In #SouthDonetsk Direction, our forces are gradually moving the front in the area of #Novomikhaylovka.
▪️ In #Maryinka, ours have advanced a little further near the #Maryinka Water Reservoir. However, the AFU presence in a small area in the northern part of the town remains.

🔹In #Donetsk Direction, on the southern #Avdeyevka flank, our units were able to enter the territory of the city itself north of the #Vinogradniki Gardening Community. It is still too early to say that we have managed to gain a foothold. Fierce fighting continues in the area of Kolosova Street. In the large settlement of #Pervomayskoye, our artillery continues to work heavily on the AFU positions. Ours are clearing the way for ground attacks from the west. On the northern flank without significant changes today. Combat work to squeeze the AFU in #Stepovoye, towards #Novokalinovo and #Ocheretino continues. In #Gorlovka, the AFU today attempted to advance north of the town. Our army repulsed the attack, and the enemy withdrew to its initial positions.

🔹In #Bakhmut Direction, on northern flank of the city, our army continues to advance near #Bogdanovka and north of #Khromovo (#Artyomovskoye). So far, we have not been able to recapture the positions near #Grigorovka yet, fighting is ongoing. North of #Soledar at #Vesyoloye, ours are moving more actively, fighting is going on. Judging by the progress, ours are planning to encircle the village. Southwest of #Bakhmut, our army is advancing in the area of #Krasnoye towards Chasov Yar. This is one of the AFU key locations in the entire direction.

🔹In #Svatovo Direction, fighting continues in the area of #Sinkovka, which can fairly be called counter fighting. So far, the Russian army has made no significant advances here. The fighting in the area of #Kupyansk direction has practically quietened down due to the weather.

💥🇺🇸 Catch the magnificent Biden!

When journalists were let into the Oval Office, where the American president received Zelensky, one of the reporters asked Biden if he wanted Ukraine to win.

The US President's reaction is on your screens. It's priceless!

🤡🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺Russian journalist not allowed to attend Biden's meeting with Zelensky 🤷‍♂️

Sputnik correspondent Pavel Zakovorotny accredited for the event 24 hours in advance, and his name was on the list. However, a representative of the White House told the Russian that there were allegedly no vacant seats in the hall. At the same time, only the Russian journalist could not find a seat - the others were freely admitted to the hall.

⚡️🇺🇦🇺🇸 Foreign media about the results of Zelensky's visit to the USA

🔸Independent
Congress is at an impasse, and no dramatic appeals by Zelensky can change the situation

🔸Time
His influence on Capitol Hill has waned significantly since his last visit. Support for aid to Ukraine in American society has also fallen dramatically

🔸New York Times
Zelensky received a colder reception this time around. Some Republican senators complained in the run-up to his visit about him coming to the States

🔸Huffington Post
According to Sen. James Vance, the idea of bringing Zelensky in at the last minute to manipulate the emotions of congressmen is grotesque

🔸Politico
Biden failed to give Zelensky a pledge of support going forward. This is yet another sign that the president of the United States is not free to act as he pleases on the world stage.

❗️🇺🇸🇺🇦Speaker of the US House of Representatives Mike Johnson - on Zelensky's failure to convince him:

We need a clear articulation of a strategy that will allow Ukraine to win, and so far the answers have been inadequate. They have not provided us with the clarity and detail that we have asked for over and over again, having started asking literally 24 hours after I became Speaker. The Biden administration seems to be asking for billions of dollars without specifics, without a clear strategy to win, and without the answers that I believe the American people deserve.
I have also made it clear from day one that our priority in considering any additional homeland security package is first and foremost our own homeland security. The border is an absolute disaster right now, and the policies of the current administration are to blame. Last week we had 12,000 illegal border crossings in just one day.

❗️🇺🇸🇺🇦 The White House warns of an emptying pot for Ukraine.

The USA plans to allocate two military aid packages to Ukraine by the end of the year, after which the funds will be exhausted.

💬"But that's the end of it. The pot is empty unless we get additional funding for Ukraine," said John Kirby, coordinator of strategic communications at the National Security Council.

😁 And the empty pot can be picked up by old man Biden for his own needs.
