We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ 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.

📝 🇪🇺 🇫🇷 Mario Nawfal on X: Europe's riots are just the beginning. The real economic shock hasn't even arrived yet.
I spoke with economist Philip Pilkington about the unrest spreading across France, Italy and Albania.
He thinks we're watching the early stages of something much bigger.
One statistic really caught my attention.
According to Pilkington, France's inflation-adjusted household food consumption has fallen roughly 6.4% since 2022. He suspects the poorest households have suffered far steeper cuts.
Now add another surge in energy prices.
Pilkington pointed to rice futures rising 70% this year, wheat and sugar climbing 40%, and fertilizer shortages threatening next year's harvest.
His prediction is that the worst food inflation could arrive this winter or next spring.
And there's a political problem sitting right on top of it.
Governments across Europe are already deeply unpopular. People are struggling to afford basic necessities, and another prolonged energy ...
