HELLO EVERYONE
Hello everyone and welcome to this live broadcast on Saturday December 2nd dedicated to the war in Ukraine.
The Russian army said on Friday that it was advancing “in all directions” in Ukraine, where it is on the offensive in the east of the country, but on a front that was largely blocked at the start of winter. The Ukrainian armed forces are ensuring that they repel these attacks and hold the few positions they have captured in the counteroffensive in recent months.
According to a Ukrainian security source in Kyiv, the SBU security services have spread the conflict deep into Russian territory by blowing up convoys carrying petroleum products on the strategic Baikal-Amur railway line (BAM), which serves the Russian Far East President Vladimir Putin issued a decree in the evening to increase the number of Russian soldiers by a further 15 percent, increasing it to 1.15 million in 2022.
“The increase in the number of armed forces is due to an increase in threats against our country,” the Russian Defense Ministry said, citing the offensive against Ukraine and the “continued expansion of NATO.”
In Ukraine itself, “Russian forces are expanding their zones of control in all directions,” Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu had previously stated, asserting that the Ukrainians’ combat capability had been “significantly reduced” after their counteroffensive.
