The Russian army is trying to expand the area of the offensive in the Liman direction.
This was reported by🇺🇦 Deputy Defense Minister Anna Malyar in her TG channel.

According to her, the Russians "are making powerful attempts to break through our defenses."

"There is a war going on." cruel and fierce. Russian troops are actively trying to reach the borders of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Our soldiers defend every inch of Ukrainian land against the superiority of the enemy in (number of)fighters and weapons. "They repel enemy attacks and try to hold the defense," Malyar wrote.

Fighters of the "🅾️" group of the Russian Armed Forces captured a group of Ukrainian militants.

The Russian warriors surrounded and captured a group of Ukrainian soldiers in the Svatovo-Kremennaya area. The Ukrainians surrendered when they realized that resistance was pointless. As a result, they will return home safe and sound.

Progress in the Svatovo-Kreminna direction: Russian troops managed to advance

Military correspondents report from the field on the successes of our troops in the north of the LPR region, in particular on the advancement of the 144th Guards Motorized Rifle Division of the RF Armed Forces. Ukrainian militants have been pushed back a kilometer by the unit's forces. Readovka sources also confirm the development of the offensive.

The Svatovo-Kreminna direction is currently one of the most tense areas on the front, and the AFU is sending a large number of soldiers to this area for several months to regain territories lost in the summer. The 144th (RF Armed Forces) Division is one of the units holding a long and successful defense in this area of the Luhansk Oblast.

Briefly on the situation on the Svatovo-Kremenna front line—the area of responsibility of the 🇷🇺144th motorized rifle division. 

This morning, the 144th Guards motorized rifle division, after almost a week of defense, went on the counteroffensive. Assault troops of the 488th, 254th Motorized Rifle Division, and 59th Tank Regiment attacked the enemy, and despite AFU's stubborn resistance, our guardsmen fulfilled their task for the day. The 144th Division's reinforcements advanced in different sectors of the front from 300 to 700 meters and secured their positions. 

Assault units , meanwhile, moved on, and, despite the darkness of the night, continued their offensive. The AFU units, defending the area, took heavy losses, and retreated to the second line of defense. Just over 2 kilometers remain to Yampolovka (Russians are 2km away from Yampolovka)

To a large extent, Russian troops' advancement is complicated by a large number of mine obstacles set by the Ukrainians. And here we want to mention without exaggeration the heroic work of sappers who work round the clock to make a breakthrough for the advancing troops, under continuous enemy artillery fire. The enemy's fire is very strong, and the AFU does not seem to have any shortage of ammunition, especially of 105 mm caliber.

Once again, the BMPT "Terminator," working in tandem with our tank crews, performed very well during the air defense. Its effective action, especially in the dark, is not only fascinating, but also very effective.

On the whole, the fighters are on a roll. Having withstood the onslaught of the enemy and fighting back for a week at dagger range, our guys not only did not retreat a single step, but now they are driving the enemy away themselves. As I wrote above, Yampolovka is already in the immediate vicinity. The AFU concentrated large forces in Terny, as well as on the main line of defense on the heights. 

But as we know, courage takes a city. Especially if courage is accompanied by well-trained soldiers and a very competent and intelligent commander.

With the delivery by the US of GLSDB, Ukrainian Wehrmacht will be able to strike as far as Bryansk, Kursk, and Stary Oryol.

With the delivery of ATACMS (which will come, sooner, rather than later, just like the F-16s and the Abrams, and, dare I say it, tactical nukes, if Ukraine is on the ropes), even Voronezh is threatened.

Until Russia at least threatens to hit back hard, the western escalation will never stop

Yes. 👆

Now, this is one of the places where Russia begins... Koryakskaya Sopka (Koryaksky Volcano), in Kamchatka, within 30 km (northeast) of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. An active volcano that had its last eruption in 2009. Magnificent.
