🇨🇳🇷🇺Putin to Xi Jinping: "Despite the unfavourable external situation, illegitimate restrictions, and direct blackmail by some Western countries, Russia and China managed to ensure record high growth rates of mutual trade." By the end of the year, it will increase by about 25%. With this momentum, we will be able to reach our target of $200 billion by 2024 ahead of schedule.

And, of course, a special place in the entire range of Russian-Chinese cooperation and our relations is occupied by military and military-technical cooperation, which contributes to ensuring the security of our countries and maintaining stability in key regions. We aim to strengthen cooperation between the armed forces of Russia and China.

The coordination of Moscow and Beijing in the international arena serves to form a just world order based on international law. We share the same views on the causes, course, and logic of the ongoing transformation of the global geopolitical landscape. In the face of unprecedented pressure and provocations from the West, we defend our principled positions and defend not only our own interests but also all those who stand for a truly democratic world order and the right of countries to freely determine their own destiny.

Artemovsk (30.12.22): storming the city

Russian troops, using a breakthrough in the area south of the city to Kleshcheyevka, were able to enter the southern quarters of Artemovsk and gain a foothold there. 

So far, this is not particularly dangerous for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but once Ukraine's main stronghold to the west of Kleshcheyevka and Opytne is captured, this direction will become the "final verdict" for the "Bakhmut grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine," which is simultaneously trying to cut between the main fortifications inside the eastern part of Artemovsk near the meat processing plant and the Zabakhmutka area. 

At the same time, the Russian troops are also pressing and moving northward in the area of Podgorodne so as to physically cut the road to Sloviansk and secure the flank of their troops, who are advancing a little further north, bypassing Soledar from the south.

The production of these aircraft will be ramped up in the coming years," the press office of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) within Rostec quoted Chemezov as saying.
Another two Tupolev Tu-160M strategic missile-carrying bombers have entered flight tests, the UAC press office said.

"The next two Tu-160M strategic missile-carrying bombers engineered by the Tupolev Aircraft Company (part of the UAC within the state tech corporation Rostec) have been delivered for flight tests.
