On the question of how the war looks like on the Izyum front.

Dense forests, both pine and oak-ash (Sherwood Forest), are interspersed with fields and rivers. Small settlements act as reference points and relying on them, the parties conduct operations. Everything that is possible and everything that is impossible has been mined, advancement is possible only if you know how to carefully look at your feet and if your sappers have worked as they should.

On all this, heavy artillery strikes are inflicted, and the infantry occupies the lines scorched by the blows of the gunners. The video is just a typical combat clash that occurred a couple of days ago. Our scouts found a group of Ukrainian servicemen, aimed artillery at them and destroyed them.

TASS news agency on the authority of the Russian Foreign Ministry:
• The best solution for Washington to avoid a humiliating defeat as happened in Afghanistan is to force Zelensky to negotiate

• Washington tends to create chaos and does not mind implicating European countries in an open confrontation with Russia

• We do not want confrontations with the United States or NATO, and we are destroying the weapons provided by them to the Kiev regime

• We warned Washington that the confiscation of our property will lead to harmful consequences and sever diplomatic relations between the two countries

A drunk Ukrainian soldier from the "Local Defense Forces" opened fire indiscriminately in the city of Kharkov. The soldier had entered a café with his rifle smoking a cigarette. When they made a note to him that smoking was prohibited in the café, the soldier randomly opened fire.

According to witnesses, the drunk soldier started shooting inside the café, and continued on the main street. This is the result of distributing weapons without restrictions.
