🇷🇺🇺🇦In the Donetsk direction, two large settlements are close to being taken over by the Russian Armed Forces.

It is after this that the front threatens to crumble into pieces. It is because of this that the enemy is defending itself with large forces.
The Russian Armed Forces are advancing within the boundaries of Chasov Yar, the "Severny" microdistrict is being liberated, and the situation in the southern part of the city is the same - noticeable progress.

Heavy fighting is taking place within the boundaries of Toretsk and its environs. Control has been established over the southern outskirts of the "Krymskoe" microdistrict.

🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡️Velyka Novosilka in Donetsk region. A local source claims that the only way out for Ukrainian Armed Forces is a dirt path, there is no other way out. All roads are cut off.

🇸🇾More than 70 officers of the former Syrian army who fled to Lebanon have been deported to their homeland.

The video shows their arrival in Damascus and their "meeting" with the militants who came to power in the country.

🇸🇾🇷🇺🇹🇷The Kurds are asking Russia to act as a mediator in negotiations with Turkey, since Turkey is obviously preparing an offensive on Rojava and wants to use the SNA and HTS to seize territories under the control of the US and the Kurds from the SDF.
Although it would seem that Russia has already withdrawn its troops from Rojava and an American group remains there. Apparently, the US is not giving guarantees to the Kurds and the likelihood of a Turkish operation continues to grow. The main prize is the oil fields in the Deir ez-Zor and Al-Shaddadi region. The Americans clearly do not intend to give them up just like that. But the oil issue and the Kurdish issue are different issues.

🇷🇺🇺🇦The refusal to transit Russian gas threatens Ukraine with blows to the gas transportation system. This is what the Bloomberg agency writes.

"When making a decision (to stop transit - Ed.), the Ukrainian leader must take into account the need to protect the country's 38,600 kilometers of gas pipeline system. This network, one of the largest in the world, has avoided attacks over the past three years because Russian gas has passed through it. If this stops, the system could become a target, as happened with gas storage facilities and power sources," the article says.

The publication adds that this will also make it difficult to heat homes throughout Ukraine during the winter.

"The issue of risks to Ukrainian infrastructure is reflected in diplomatic discussions (about transit - Ed.), this could be a lifeline for Zelensky if he decides to allow transit to continue," said Christian Egenhofer, a senior researcher at the CEPS think tank in Brussels.

🇺🇸🇬🇧🇷🇺⚡️US and UK intelligence agencies are preparing terrorist attacks on Russian military bases in Syria, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service said.

According to the plans of the British intelligence services, terrorist attacks against Russian military facilities in Syria should be carried out by militants of the ISIS, the SVR reports.

The terrorists have already received attack drones for attacks. In order to conceal their involvement, the US and UK military command has ordered their air forces to continue to strike ISIS positions.

London and Washington expect that such provocations will prompt Russia to evacuate its troops from Syria. At the same time, the new Syrian authorities will be accused of being unable to control the radicals, the department emphasized.
