In this section of the YouTube video titled "29.01 Стабилизация фронта в Табаевке, осложнения в Первомайском. Ближний Воesteк эскалация растет," the speaker begins by acknowledging the historical significance of January 29 as the day the Ukrainian army stopped the advance of the Red Army 106 years ago. The speaker then proceeds to discuss the recent military actions along the Ukrainian frontline. The enemy attacked with eight unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and missile systems in the regions of Nikolaevska, Dnepropetrovska, Khmelnytska, and Rovenska. The Ukrainian forces responded with anti-aircraft defense and suffered damages to civilian infrastructure, including schools and residential buildings, as a result. The speaker notes that the intensity of military actions remains high, with the enemy launching 74 engagements and 110 artillery attacks in various regions, including Chernihivska, Sumska, Harkivska, Luhanska, Donetska, Zaporizhska, and Dnepropetrovska oblasts. Despite concern about the Belarusian army allegedly moving troops to the border, the speaker assures that they are monitoring the situation and have clear control over the border with Belarus, where their forces are in training and conducting exercises. Overall, military actions along the Ukrainian frontline have resulted in damages to civilian infrastructure and casualties.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "29.01 Stabilization of the Front in Tabayevka, complications in Pervomaysk. The Middle East escalation is growing," the speaker discusses the situation at the front lines in Ukraine. The use of mercenaries by the enemy army is mentioned, possibly related to Lukanenko's visit to Saint Petersburg where he met someone resembling Putin and made political declarations. Despite the ongoing tensions, the situation remains grim but under control from their side, with efforts being made to fortify the defensive infrastructure. The main attacks from enemy forces have been in the areas of Senskovka and Limanskyi direction. Although they suffered losses at Tabayevka, the enemy was unable to hold ground and fighting continues on its edges. Additionally, Ukrainian forces repelled four attacks at the settlements of Terny and Yampol in the Limanskyi direction. The enemy attempted a large-scale column attack, reminiscent of older tactics, and retreated to Bahmutskiy direction. Ukrainian forces repelled four attacks in the Bahmutskiy direction, but the enemy is reportedly gathering reserves for potential renewed offensive actions. Overall, the enemy has been pushed back from Tabayevka, but fighting continues on its outskirts.

In this section, the speaker discusses the military situation in Avdeevka, Ukraine, where Russian forces have been attempting to surround Ukrainian forces. The speaker notes that the front line has been holding steady for a month, but the Russian army has made gains in the Pervo maisk area last week, which they had not publicly acknowledged until now. The Ukrainian forces were able to retreat and take more defensive positions, but the situation remains volatile. The Russian army continues to gather forces in the south of Avdeevka, aiming for a potential breakthrough. The Ukrainian forces have been maneuvering in defense, using their artillery and firepower to inflict heavy damages. The situation in Mariinka, where Russian forces have been heavily active, remains tense, with sporadic fighting and positional battles. The main focus of the conflict, according to the speaker, remains in the northern and eastern parts of Avdeevka.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "29.01 Stabilization of the front in Tabayevka, complications in Pervomaysk. The Middle East escalation continues to grow," the speaker discusses the ongoing conflict in the Tabayevka and Avdeevka areas, with a focus on the left bank of the Dnepr river. The situation remains heavy, with positional battles and artillery exchanges causing significant damage to the enemy. There have been eight failed attempts to storm Ukrainian positions, all of which were repelled, resulting in losses for the enemy and their retreat. However, the enemy has made some tactical gains due to disorganized coordination between Ukrainian units, which has created opportunities for partial success. Ukrainian forces have used aviation, artillery, and anti-aircraft defense to inflict losses on the enemy, with reported losses totaling over 6,000 enemy personnel, 205 armored vehicles, 222 artillery systems, and 44 specialized vehicles, among others. Ukrainian defenses have also destroyed 27 enemy rockets and 105 drones over the past week. The overall goal of the Ukrainian forces is to wear down the enemy's combat potential.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "29.01 Stabilization of the Front in Tabayevka, complications in Pervomaisk. The situation in the Middle East escalates," the speaker discusses corruption schemes worth billions of hryvnias in the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense. Notable figures, including former and current officials and heads of affiliated companies, such as Alexey Grienko and Yuri Sbitenko, have been accused of attempting to embezzle nearly 15 billion hryvnias meant for purchasing 100,000 minaret rocket rounds for the Ukrainian military. The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has successfully recovered the stolen funds and returned them to the budget, ensuring that military purchases can be made in realty instead of on fictitious firms. The SBU has also arrested other officials, including former deputy minister of defense, Pavlo Shapovalov, who is facing charges for embezzlement of nearly 1 billion hryvnias. The SBU's ongoing efforts to combat corruption within the ministry, as seen in these recent high-profile cases, demonstrate its status as an effective law enforcement agency.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "29.01 Stabilization of the front in Tabayevka, complications in Perвомайское. The escalation in the Middle East is growing," the speaker discusses the military and political situation around Ukraine and nearby countries. France is mentioned as a significant contributor to Ukraine's supply of ammunition, promising to provide 3,155 millimeter artillery shells monthly. However, domestic unrest is taking place in France, which could potentially impact Ukraine's ability to receive these shipments. French farmers have started blocking roads, including the A13 highway leading to Paris. If Paris is fully blocked, the city, which is not small, could face food shortages within 72 hours. Meanwhile, American news sources report that Trump has instructed Republicans not to vote in favor of border reform and assistance to Ukraine. In response, Israel and Taiwan have announced attacks on U.S. military vessels in the Persian Gulf. Reports indicate that at least 34 people were injured and three U.S. military personnel were killed. As the United States weighs its response, tensions persist, particularly in Texas, where the border is closed, and federal authorities are calling for it to be reopened. Additionally, reports suggest that Yemeni militant groups have targeted a military base in Aden. The situation remains uncertain, with Washington continuing consultations for an appropriate response.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "29.01 Стабилизация фронта в Табаевке, осложнения в Первомайском. Ближний Воestк эскалация растет," there have been reports of withdrawal of troops from Iraq due to constant attacks on military bases. However, it seems that a military base will remain in Iraq, and the US is considering a strong response against the Iranian-backed Proxies after recent attacks on American bases and ships. Egypt has asked the Houthis to reduce attacks on ships in the Red Sea due to the negative impact on trade through the Suet Canal, which accounts for around 15% of global trade. The Egyptian delegation is being welcomed in Moscow despite recent attacks on commercial vessels and the blockade of the canal. Meanwhile, the war in the Gas sector continues, with active fighting not resulting in success. A scandal has emerged regarding UN staff members, specifically 12 individuals, who participated in the conflict and were taken prisoner by Hamas. The UN Secretary-General is concerned only with payments, requesting that the organization continues to be funded despite these circumstances. The situation on the Middle East is complex, with many countries financing the organization and the UN yet to clarify how these staff members came to take part in the conflict.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "29.01 Стабилизация фронта в Табаевке, осложнения в Первомайском. Ближний Восток эскалация растет," the speaker discusses ongoing audits of financial aid to Ukraine by the US and its partners, with representatives from the US Department of Defense, State Department, and USAID having arrived to examine spending. Hungary had initially announced it would block a €50 billion aid package for Ukraine at the European Union summit but later reversed its decision due to pressure from the EU. The speaker expresses his belief that Hungary will continue trying to influence Ukraine regarding the rights of its Hungarian minority in the region. The NATO alliance is reportedly preparing for potential missile attacks across Europe and aiming to establish a military Schengen zone to allow military convoys to move freely through NATO member countries. NATO has already established a collective missile defense system, with elements in place in countries such as the Baltics, Poland, and Romania, which the speaker believes are successfully protecting NATO's airspace.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "29.01 Стабилизация фронта в Табаевке, осложнения в Первомайском. Ближний Восток эскалация растет," the speaker discusses recent incidents involving dropped Russian aircraft bombs in the Belgorod and Volgograd regions. Two bombs were found unexploded in the villages of Postnikovo and Sтрелецкое, while another was detected but had already detonated. Our sources suggest that two possible explanations for these incidents are either the pilots accidentally dropped the bombs or the technological condition of the aircraft is causing them to detach mid-flight. The intensity is high as these bombs have wings that unfold upon release, making them guided and dangerous. Additionally, there are ongoing mobilization efforts, with thousands of volunteers standing in lines for military service. While Putin has publicly stated that there will be no new mobilization, military institutions are reportedly increasing their plans due to the ongoing conflict requirements. The video predicts that after the March elections, an official mobilization wave may be announced, possibly involving 30,000 to 50,000 people. However, this would conflict with Putin's promise of no mobilization during his presidency.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "29.01 Stabilization of the front in Tabayevka, complications in Pervomaisk. The Middle East escalation is growing," the speaker discusses the military situation and the significance of Russia's use of aircraft bombs in their arsenal. The speaker points out that Russia's military command found a cost-effective solution by utilizing excess Soviet-era bombs, which were developed during the Second World War for carpet bombing. These bombs, which have adjustable wings for guidance and can be dropped from high altitudes, are now used to compensate for the lack of artillery and ammunition. The speaker emphasizes that while these bombs offer a significant destructive force, they are not the most effective weapon due to their limited accuracy. Russia's limited stockpile of these bombs and partnering with American companies for the development of newer weapons is also mentioned.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "29.01 Stabilization of the front in Tabаevka, complications in Perвомайском. The Middle East escalation is growing," the speaker discusses delays in the delivery of French bombs meant for Russia, specifically GPS-guided aerial bombs. Russia had planned to begin receiving these bombs before New Year's Day but the delivery has been delayed. France intends to provide 50 such bombs monthly. There have been instances where these bombs have malfunctioned during production, causing some to fall before activation, with two malfunctioning and exploding, although Russia is not very concerned as the French bombs function identically to the ones they are already using, save for minor differences in the bomb models. However, Russia has not yet started the mass deliveries of these bombs from partnering countries, making it difficult for them to be used effectively against enemy live forces and technology. Additionally, the speaker touches on the availability of Ukrainian pilots for the F166 jets, with Ukraine having fewer pilots and an abundant supply of prospective pilots. One comment in the video suggests that Russian candidate in the presidency, Dmitry Medvedev, could be a viable project for Putin, similar to how Medvedev served as Putin's predecessor. The commentator believes that the Kremlin enjoys stirring up democracy in Russia, only to later quash opposition and demonstrate their power. The commentator notes that in past elections, there have been instances where the percentage of votes for Putin exceeded 100% on some precincts, which, when combined, exceeded 100%, suggesting widespread voter manipulation. In summary, the video details delivery delays and production issues with French bombs, as well as the current state of pilots and elections in Russia.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "29.01 Stabilization of the front in Tabayevka, complications in Pervomaisk. The Middle East escalation is growing," the speaker discusses the Democratic process in Russia and the implementation of Soviet weaponry from Greece. The speaker explains that while the West may showcase this as the people's choice, the candidates are coordinated at the Kremlin. The topic then shifts to the old Soviet stockpiles from Ukraine, which are being replaced with NATO technology. Despite the disadvantages of using Soviet technology, such as the need for re-education of personnel, the military will still use it because it does not require extensive training for the experienced soldiers. The speaker also addresses the issue of repairing the Leopard 2 tanks, stating that they are currently repaired in Poland and the Baltic countries, and that the Ukrainian company Rain Metal is planning to open a repair factory by summer. However, the speaker is skeptical about the timeline for the delivery of these tanks, stating that the process of obtaining them from Greece has been expedited, and if they are already technologically sound, they can be accepted and put into use immediately. In conclusion, the speaker believes that these tanks will be in Ukraine within the next year or two, but the logistical challenges of maintaining and repairing them could cause delays. Additionally, the speaker mentions the production of the Ukrainian SAO Bogdan and the Russian ARLEM self-propelled artillery being used in the conflict.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "29.01 Stabilization of the front in Tabayevka, complications in Pervomaysk. The Middle East escalation is growing," the speaker discusses various challenges and issues related to the ongoing conflict in the region, focusing on weapons supply and usage, mine clearance, Russian S300 and S400 missile systems, and protective gear for Ukrainian soldiers. The speaker notes that there is a lack of armored vehicles and artillery systems in some areas but enough supplies for their current rate of use. They also mention that Russian artillery pieces, specifically M46, have been unearthed as replacements due to Korean artillery shells damaging artillery barrels. Regarding mine clearance, the speaker explains that while there are efficient methods, the lack of sufficient resources poses a challenge in effectively clearing minefields. mine clearance equipment is insufficient, forcing the use of artillery and aircraft for the process, but these methods require their own munitions. Turning to the deployment of Russian S300 and S400 missile systems, the speaker discusses the importance of accurate targeting and the potential humanitarian impact of missile strikes, classifying them as terrorist acts and war crimes. The speaker emphasizes the strategic importance of the left bank of the Hersson region as a potential launchpad for counteroffensives and encourages hope for adequate military support to defeat the Russian army in Ukraine. Lastly, the speaker discusses the importance of protective gear, specifically anti-chemical and anti-radiological equipment, for Ukrainian soldiers and ensures they are equipped with individual protective kits. The conversation also touches on the topic of mine clearance, with a focus on the insufficient resources and reliance on heavy equipment or artillery for the process.
