Sight words instruction is an excellent supplement to phonics instruction. Phonics is a method for learning to read in general, while sight words instruction increases a child’s familiarity with the high frequency words he will encounter most often.
Use lesson time to introduce up to three new words, and use game time to practice the new words.
A sight words instruction session should be about 30 minutes long, divided into two components:
- Sight Words Lesson — Use our Teaching Techniques to introduce new words and to review words from previous lessons — 10 minutes
- Sight Words Games — Use our games to provide reinforcement of the lesson and some review of already mastered sight words to help your child develop speed and fluency — 20 minutes

1 Introduce New Words
When first beginning sight words, work on no more than three unfamiliar words at a time to make it manageable for your child. Introduce one word at a time, using the five teaching techniques. Hold up the flash card for the first word, and go through all five techniques, in order. Then introduce the second word, and go through all five teaching techniques, and so on.
This lesson should establish basic familiarity with the new words. This part of a sight words session should be brisk and last no more than ten minutes. As your child gets more advanced, you might increase the number of words you work on in each lesson.
2.2 Review Old Words
Begin each subsequent lesson by reviewing words from the previous lesson. Words often need to be covered a few times for the child to fully internalize them. Remember: solid knowledge of a few words is better than weak knowledge of a lot of words!
Go through the See & Say exercise for each of the review words.
If your child struggles to recognize a word, cover that word again in the main lesson, going through all five teaching techniques. If he has trouble with more than two of the review words, then set aside the new words you were planning to introduce and devote that day’s lesson to review.
Note: The child should have a good grasp of — but does not need to have completely mastered — a word before it gets replaced in your lesson plan. Use your game time to provide lots of repetition for these words until the child has thoroughly mastered them.
2.3 Reinforce with Games
Learning sight words takes lots of repetition. We have numerous sight words games that will make that repetition fun and entertaining for you and your child.
The games are of course the most entertaining part of the sight words program, but they need to wait until after the first part of the sight words lesson.
Games reinforce what the lesson teaches.
Do not use games to introduce new words.
NOTE: Be sure the child has a pretty good grasp of a sight word before using it in a game, especially if you are working with a group of children. You do not want one child to be regularly embarrassed in front of his classmates when he struggles with words the others have already mastered!

Introduce new sight words using this sequence of five teaching techniques:
- See & Say — A child sees the word on the flash card and says the word while underlining it with her finger.
- Spell Reading — The child says the word and spells out the letters, then reads the word again.
- Arm Tapping — The child says the word and then spells out the letters while tapping them on his arm, then reads the word again.
- Air Writing — A child says the word, then writes the letters in the air in front of the flash card.
- Table Writing — A child writes the letters on a table, first looking at and then not looking at the flash card.
These techniques work together to activate different parts of the brain. The exercises combine many repetitions of the word (seeing, hearing, speaking, spelling, and writing) with physical movements that focus the child’s attention and cement each word into the child’s long-term memory.
The lessons get the child up to a baseline level of competence that is then reinforced by the games, which take them up to the level of mastery. All you need is a flash card for each of the sight words you are covering in the lesson.

Of course, every child will make mistakes in the process of learning sight words. They might get confused between similar-looking words or struggle to remember phonetically irregular words.
Use our Corrections Procedure every time your child makes a mistake in a sight words lesson or game.
Simple and straightforward, it focuses on reinforcing the correct identification and pronunciation of the word. It can be done quickly without disrupting the flow of the activity.
Do not scold the child for making a mistake or even repeat the incorrect word. Just reinforce the correct word using our script, and then move on.

Q: Progress is slow. We have been on the same five words for a week!
A: It is not unusual to have to repeat the same set of words several times, especially in the first weeks of sight words instruction. The child is learning how to learn the words and is developing pattern recognition approaches that will speed his progress. Give him time to grow confident with his current set of words, and avoid overwhelming the child with new words when he hasn’t yet become familiar with the old words.
Q: Do I really need to do all five techniques for every word?
A: Start out by using all five techniques with each new word.
The techniques use different teaching methods and physical senses to support and reinforce the child’s memorization of the word. After a few weeks of lessons, you will have a sense for how long it takes your child to learn new words and whether all five exercises are necessary. Start by eliminating the last activity, Table Writing, but be sure to review those words at the next lesson to see if the child actually retained them without that last exercise. If the child learns fine without Table Writing, then you can try leaving out the fourth technique, Air Writing. Children who learn quickly may only need to use two or three of the techniques.
Q: How long will it take to get through a whole word list? I want my child to learn ALL the words!!!
A: That depends on a number of factors, including frequency of your lessons as well as your child’s ability to focus. But do not get obsessed with the idea of racing through the word lists to the finish line.
It is much, much better for your child to solidly know just 50 words than to “kind of” know 300 words. We are building a foundation here, and we want that foundation to be made of rock, not sand!

Sight Words FAQs | Sight Words: Teach Your Child to Read
Sight Words FAQs | Sight Words: Teach Your Child to Read Q: How many words should I teach per day? A: There is no set answer to the number of words to teach a child each day. Factors such as the child’s age, motivation, memory skills, and whether the child is learning a specific list for a school assignment affect this decision. But remember: it is much better for a child to have solid knowledge of 50 words than to kind of know 300 words. It is not enough for children to kind of know their sight words. They need to be able to recognize them instantly and accurately in order to build reading fluency and comprehension of written material they will read in books.
It is much better for a child to have solid knowledge of 50 words than to kind of know 300 words.We recommend that you start by thoroughly teaching your child three to five words in a lesson. On the first day, introduce three to five new words. In the next day’s lesson, start by reviewing the previous day’s words. If your child remembers those words, move on to introducing three to five new words. If he struggles with, let’s say, two of the previous day’s words, go through our full sequence of teaching techniques with those two words and then introduce just one to three new words. If your child aces the review part of each lesson, then you can probably introduce more new words per day. If he repeatedly struggles to remember the previously covered words, then slow down the pace. Q: When teaching sight words, should I use pictures together with written words? A: The research indicates that most typically developing children learn sight words better without accompanying pictures.
However, children who have cognitive delays, such as Down syndrome, seem to benefit from sight words being accompanied by picture cards. Q: Should I correct mistakes immediately, or wait until the end of the lesson or game? A: All errors should be corrected immediately. Please see our corrections procedure for instructions on how to correct mistakes in a positive, constructive way. It only takes a few seconds, so it won’t disrupt the flow of your lesson or game. Q: What does it mean to “master” a sight word? A: A child should recognize the presented target word three times in a row for three days in a row. The child should be able to identify and say the word quickly, showing that they know the word by sight and do not have to sound it out letter-by-letter. Q: My child is doing a great job with these activities! How much praise should I give her after each correct answer? A: Actually, very little. Gushing praise (“You are so smart,” a high five, “That’s wonderful!”) can be a major distraction to a young child with a short attention span.
By the time you’ve finished praising her, she may have totally forgotten what she learned! Stick to a simple affirmation of a right answer (“Correct” or “That’s right”), and then continue with the activity. Similarly, if the child gives a wrong answer, point out the mistake and the correct answer in a simple, direct manner. You’re not being mean, you’re just staying focused! Q: What’s the best way to keep track of which sight words my child has mastered and which ones are still being studied? A simple way to organize the child’s sight words that have been mastered or on which the child is presently working is to use a 5″x8″ card file box with A-Z file dividers. Place a card marked CURRENT WORDS in the front of the box, and place another card marked MASTERED WORDS that will separate current words from mastered words. Then file mastered words alphabetically behind the A-Z file cards. The words currently being learned are best filed in random (non-alphabetical) order.
Q: My child enjoys the games a lot more than the lessons, so I’m tempted to just do the games. Is that okay? A: No. Our sight words games are excellent tools for reinforcing the knowledge your child has acquired from the lessons, but they are not a replacement for the sight words lessons. If a child gets bored or distracted easily, consider shortening the lessons (by covering fewer words), but do not eliminate them! Q: Why are sight words sometimes called “service words”? A: Sight words actually service the reader by improving the child’s fluent, smooth reading of connected text in phrases, sentences, and paragraphs. Research has strongly shown that fluency in reading is a vital prerequisite for good reading comprehension. If the process of reading print is too slow and laborious, the reader’s comprehension of printed material will be seriously impeded. Q: When is it developmentally appropriate to teach sight words? At what age are children ready to learn sight words? A: Children’s language skills develop at different rates, so we can’t give you hard-and-fast age rules.
Most children will be able to master a few sight words in Pre-K (four years old). You can teach sight words earlier if your child is receptive to the material. But if your 2- or 3-year-old is uninterested and has difficulty retaining the words, then it’s probably too early, and you should wait a few months before trying again. A good goal, according to child literacy expert Timothy Shanahan, is that children should master 20 sight words by the end of Kindergarten and 100 sight words by the end of First Grade. Q: Should I be teaching my child sight words instead of phonics? A: No! Sight words are a supplement to phonics instruction, not a substitute! Phonics teaches your child the rules for decoding and reading most words. Sight words instruction is a strategy of focusing extra attention on the words that occur most frequently, so that your child doesn’t have to stop and decode every single word. Leave a Reply
LOOK / One word destroys Biden's entire authority :: In the world
Has the United States entered into a recession (shrinking economy) or not? This question, as well as the problem of the word "recession" itself, has become a key public discussion in the US in recent days.
How did the White House try to manipulate this concept, what exactly does it mean and what are the consequences of what is happening threatens Biden and his associates?
"Dream Factory" is a generic name for the American film industry, known to the world for more than a hundred years. This name fully reflects the essence of the matter - in the minds of even the most naive person, dreams are separated from reality. Complement it, but never completely replace it. However, in recent years, there has been a feeling that all American politics is subordinated to one task - to change the real world to a fictional one. nine0005
The real world, in which the United States, in the recent past the only superpower, is constantly shaken by economic crises, corroded by unthinkable inflation and split along all criteria - racial, ideological, class and others. But they are trying to pass off the world of political fantasies as reality.
In which, for example, President Biden of the United States is an adequate leader, and not a hostage of hardware games stricken with deep dementia.
A world where Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the US House of Representatives, who suffers from the same age-related ailment as the President, has only to board a military plane, as the external enemies of the States disperse in a fog - and it doesn’t matter that the result of her stupid and fussy demarche will be only more great "loss of face" by the Americans. A world of racial and gender diversity and harmony, where the main concern of citizens is the accurate counting of hundreds of new types of gender and the total repentance of the descendants of the first settlers before fellow citizens who were lucky to be born with a different, darker skin color. nine0005
High-ranking American officials are making great efforts to finally mix both worlds in the minds of their citizens - and the liberal American media and journalists "with slanted eyes from constant lies" serve as a great help in this matter. For example, CNN correspondent Omar Jimenez has a good chance of being among the winners of the 2022 International Emmy Award in the News and Documentary category.
nine0005
An ideologically consistent journalist "became famous" two years ago while covering the pogroms in the city of Kenosha, perpetrated by blacks and left-wing radical gangs. Standing against the backdrop of burning residential buildings set on fire by the rioters, Omar broadcast a phrase that later became a common meme * on both sides of the ocean. According to his commentary, the pogroms and violence in Kenosha were "fiery but mostly peaceful".
However, if such technologies are suitable for giving the world a new doublethink meme or a new winner of a once prestigious award, then in the field of macroeconomics, which directly affects the lives of millions of Americans, as practice shows, they are of little use. Nevertheless, the American bureaucracy does not stop trying to call black - white and give completely obvious phenomena new, completely meaningless meanings. nine0005
This is how a new name was born for the position into which the States have been steadily sliding for the second month in a row.
We are talking about a recession, that is, a consistently negative GDP growth rate for at least two months in a row.
No other word can describe the situation when the Federal Reserve once again raised rates to combat high inflation, and US GDP fell by 0.9% year-on-year in the second quarter (after 1.6% in the first quarter) , cannot be named. nine0005
The now classic definition of a recession was first used by the American economist Julius Shiskin, head of the government's Bureau of Labor Statistic, in 1974. Since then, this rule of thumb has been regularly cited in the media. But the main thing is that it is accepted in the documentation of a number of government bodies and intergovernmental organizations: the IMF, Eurostat, national banks of Great Britain, India and other countries. nine0005
But such a definition in the current conditions of imminent political bankruptcy for the Joe Biden team sounds like a final verdict. According to a Gallup poll released July 29, Joe Biden is the most unpopular US president after being in power for half of his first term.
His approval rating fell below 40% for the first time and now stands at 38%.
Because of this, feverish attempts to avoid the word "recession" in public space by any means is not an economic, but a political task. “Recession” is a scary word, especially for older voters who remember not only the crises of 2008-2012, but also earlier blows to the economy of the country under the previous “most unpopular” President Jimmy Carter. nine0005
The recession conjures up images of unemployment lines and labor markets. And most importantly, it is tantamount to the political collapse of the ruling Democratic Party in the fall congressional elections. Therefore, Biden supporters will avoid this word as much as possible, resorting to any methods, including direct falsifications.
That is why last week a real edit war broke out in the American and English segments of Wikipedia over the definition of the word "recession". More than 70 edits were made to the recession page before Wikipedia blocked the ability to make further changes.
Even the White House press secretary (of course, denying that the US economy has plunged into a recession) publicly and extremely nervously entered into a dispute over what exactly the term "recession" means. nine0005
This war of terminology caused the mayor of New York City (which recently declared a state of emergency due to the lack of infant formula) Eric Adams (Eric Leroy Adams) to explode. “We are in a financial crisis that you cannot even imagine. Wall Street collapsed. We are in a real recession,” he said during one of his public speeches.
There is no reason to doubt that Wikipedia has taken the side of the current American authorities. Thus, the Biden apparatus, in fact, by introducing a ban on the term "recession", is trying to plug the economic and political gaps in the White House with the help of big words and pieces of paper with the texts of their speeches. nine0005
“Do you know how economic depressions ended in the US? They just stopped using the word.
Like the word "panic" in the context of the economic crisis. No word - no problem. Apparently, they decided the same this time: they took and canceled the word "recession," - ironically on this occasion, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.
However, US officials should be much more worried about the ongoing inflation in the country. Quarterly GDP figures include both nominal GDP (total dollars of economic activity) and real GDP (which is adjusted for price changes). And if nominal GDP growth in the US in the second quarter, according to the US Congressional Budget Office, increased by 7.8%, then real GDP growth will not exceed 2% in the near future. Continued inflation in the country is inevitable, unless the growth of nominal GDP slows down and its separation from the real GDP increases. nine0005
It is high inflation, and not a moderate (yet!) recession, that poses the greatest danger to the current American government. Along with persistent efforts to transition the country's economy to renewable "green" energy, the Brownian movement in foreign policy, the next "crusade" against Russia, and the most gloomy forecasts for the Democratic Party for the upcoming November elections to the House of Representatives.
The Biden administration never figured out that the citizens could forgive her for certain miscalculations or mistakes in economic or political work only if their motives were the economic welfare of the United States and the political security of the country. But having made lies and falsification of reality the main tool of their policy, Biden and his associates have actually signed a political verdict for themselves. And no Orwellian edits to Wikipedia or bans on economic terms starting with the letter “R” will be able to mark it. nine0005

The Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine "closed" the ports of Mariupol and Kherson
Internet users recalled the adviser to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine Oleksiy Arestovich of his critical remarks about Volodymyr Zelensky and Ukrainians.
According to REN TV, Arestovich's 2020 interview is "thoroughly discussed" on the Web. In it, the current adviser to the head of Zelensky’s office stated: “Zelensky is a weak person, he has two keys: petty pride and fear.”
“The fact is that we are a *** country. In addition, we have a *** collective unconscious. The average Ukrainian, if it is possible to think in such categories, is the ideal victim of the informational semantic war. All connections in the brain are broken, we suggest, that is, instead of a brain, he has an ideal gas, ”he said. nine0005
Recall that in early April, Arestovich, in another interview, told in detail how the Ukrainian authorities manipulate citizens during the special operation.

Zakharova puzzled the State Department with a quest about Zelensky
nine0061 Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that the US State Department and "all of its paid-for information dumps" took up "not childishly".
In response, she invited the American Foreign Office to take part in the quest. The speaker of the Russian Foreign Ministry in her Telegram channel said that the State Department sent theses for working out to "foreign agents like Dozhd and Navalny: before, they say, Zakharova was good, but now she has become bad." “I will disappoint. I have always been not very good,” she wrote. nine0005
In addition, according to Zakharova, a photograph of her appeared on the website of the US Foreign Ministry, accompanied by an inscription in red letters: "Lies." Zakharova thanked the US State Department for popularization, noting that "Russian hackers" did not hack into the resources of the American Foreign Ministry, but her photo appeared there anyway.
An official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry offered the State Department a quest: she would make a statement, and if it is not labeled as a "lie" in the US, then it is true. “So, catch: ZELENSKY IS USING NARCOTIC SUBSTANCES FOR MANY YEARS – POROSHENKO STATED ABOUT THIS.
Time has passed,” wrote Zakharova. nine0005 Previously, Zakharova advised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to keep on the table a biography of former self-proclaimed Venezuelan President Juan Guaido, who, in her words, was a "US puppet" and then became a nobody.

An algorithm for looting the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the cities of Donbass before fleeing is described
Ex-ambassador of the LPR Miroshnik: The Armed Forces of Ukraine have developed an algorithm for looting cities before fleeing
nine0061 The Ukrainian Armed Forces, when leaving settlements, traditionally take out convoys with personal belongings of local residents. To plunder and "dirt" the city for them is the norm of behavior.
This opinion was expressed to the VZGLYAD newspaper by the ex-ambassador of the LPR in Russia, Rodion Miroshnik. Earlier in Soledar, they complained that during the withdrawal from the city, the enemy took out all household appliances and personal belongings of the population. “The reality is that in recent months the Armed Forces of Ukraine have transferred a huge amount of manpower to Soledar and Artemovsk. Among them were many people of criminal origin. And for most of them, the Donbass are strangers,” Miroshnik said. nine0005
“We can't expect anything else from the militants. Once again, they rob cities without hesitation, engage in outright looting. This is not prevented by their leadership. When our military enter the city, they see not only destruction, but also simply “polluted” houses,” the diplomat notes.
“The Armed Forces of Ukraine even have a kind of algorithm for this. Armed formations enter the city and, first of all, take away cars, citing the needs of the army.
Then they move on to residential buildings, where the unit is settled against the will of the population. After some time, a long-term firing point is made from this building, ”the interlocutor described. nine0005 “There is also repeated evidence of how the UAF fleeing the cities take out entire columns with the belongings of local residents. And there you can find absolutely everything - from household items to mattresses and furniture elements, ”he points out.
“As for reports that the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is abandoning units, this is not the first time this has happened. Such situations actually become a kind of regularity, a “calling card” of the enemy command, along with looting,” concluded Miroshnik. nine0005
Earlier, local residents said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine took away from Soledar all household appliances and personal belongings of people who left the city. According to Sergey Kuzin, everything was taken out, even toilet paper.
The Ukrainian military broke down the doors and gates of empty houses, and then loaded the loot into civilian vehicles. At the same time, when Kuzin himself saw this, the UAF motivated their behavior by “search for a convenient position.”
In addition, according to local residents, the enemy shelled Soledar with phosphorus shells, blaming Russian troops for the attack. “But the Russian army then took Vladimirovka, it was far away,” RIA Novosti quotes Kuzin. He also noted that Ukrainian tanks were based in the residential sector, from where they fired. nine0005
Against this background, another complaint was received from the military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As one of the fighters told CNN, the command promised to withdraw his unit, but in fact they simply abandoned them near Soledar.
He also said that the soldiers had run out of food and water, some of them were wounded. “The last evacuation was three days ago. We were ordered to hold out to the very end.
If an urgent order to withdraw is not received, then we simply will not have time, ”the American television channel quotes him. nine0005 Recall that the founder of the Wagner group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, said that the Wagnerites had established control over the entire territory of Soledar, a cauldron was formed in the center of the city, in which urban battles were being waged. Ukrainian troops lost 200 people while trying to organize a counterattack on Soledar.
Earlier, the VZGLYAD newspaper wrote in detail that the successes of the Russian Armed Forces in the Donbass gave the command freedom of choice for the next operations.

The Finnish President called the conditions for the supply of tanks to Ukraine
The Finnish side may consider supplying Leopard tanks to the Kyiv regime, but their number will be limited, said Finnish President Sauli Niiniste.

In the event of a joint European project to assist Kyiv, Finland may join, but the number of tanks will be small, since the country itself borders on Russia and is not part of NATO, Niiniste said, RIA Novosti reports.
Finland has about 200 Leopard 2 tanks. To supply tanks to Ukraine, a German re-export license is required.
Previously, the media reported that Helsinki allows the sending of Leopard 2 tanks, but on the condition that if there is a group of countries supporting this idea. In particular, the newspaper Politico reported that France and Poland are pushing Germany to send Leopard tanks to Ukraine. nine0005

Wasserman: Zelensky knows the Ukrainian citizenship law worse than I do
Anyone who has acquired the citizenship of a country with which Ukraine does not have an agreement on dual citizenship is automatically deprived of citizenship of Ukraine.
In 2016, when I received Russian citizenship, I myself took advantage of this clause in Ukrainian legislation, State Duma deputy, publicist Anatoly Wasserman told the VZGLYAD newspaper, commenting on Kyiv's plans to deprive Ukrainians of citizenship who also have Russian citizenship. nine0004 President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that people with Russian citizenship, but having political or spiritual influence on Ukraine, should have only Russian citizenship.
“According to the law of Ukraine on citizenship, anyone who voluntarily obtained the citizenship of a country with which Ukraine does not have an agreement on dual citizenship is automatically deprived of citizenship of Ukraine. In the legislation of the Russian Federation there is no such requirement for the automatic loss of citizenship of the Russian Federation in the event of the acquisition of some other one. Therefore, from the point of view of Russia, dual citizenship of the Russian Federation and Ukraine is possible, from the point of view of Ukraine - no.
There is no agreement on dual citizenship between these countries,” says Wasserman. nine0005 He says that in 2016, when he received Russian citizenship, he himself used this clause in Ukrainian legislation to get rid of Ukrainian citizenship without going through all the formal procedures provided for by other articles of this law.
“So Zelensky obviously knows this law worse than I do. But its purpose is quite obvious. All this is aimed solely at convincing the bulk of Ukrainians that they are not Russian, or at least to make them pretend that they are not Russian. And popular figures will react to this in different ways. But do not miss the fact that earnings in Russia for most of the artists are much higher than in Ukraine,” Wasserman said. nine0005
He recalled that Zelensky himself became a dollar millionaire thanks to filming in Russian cinema, television programs, and also in connection with numerous performances on the Russian stage.
Earlier, Zelensky signed a decree according to which the country's authorities imposed sanctions on 119 artists.
Among them are Evgeny Petrosyan, singer Lolita Milyavskaya, football player Anatoly Timoshchuk, film director Nikita Mikhalkov, as well as singers Philip Kirkorov and Dima Bilan.

Head of Zelensky's office complained about attempts to "steal" Korolyov from Ukraine
Head of Zelensky's office Yermak called Korolyov a Ukrainian engineer and complained about attempts to "steal" his name from Kyiv
Andriy Yermak, head of the office of the President of Ukraine, complained that they wanted to “steal” the name of the Soviet scientist Sergei Korolyov from Kyiv, whom Yermak called a Ukrainian engineer. nine0004
Yermak wrote on Telegram that "today is the birthday of Ukrainian engineer Sergei Korolyov." According to Yermak, “the swamps have always sought to steal the names of such people, like the whole of history, but they will not succeed.
”
Recall that in Ukraine Russian-speaking historical figures from the field of politics, science and culture are actively recorded as Ukrainians based on their place of birth: Korolyov, Igor Sikorsky, Pyotr Tchaikovsky, Vladimir Vernadsky and many others. nine0005
Although Korolyov identified himself as a Ukrainian in the questionnaire when he entered the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, in subsequent years in the documents in the column "nationality" he repeatedly indicated that he was Russian. Senator Alexei Pushkov stated that "Korolyov was born in 1906 in the Volyn province, when Ukraine did not exist at all."

Troshev noted that when Artemovsk was surrounded, it would be reported.
“I want to emphasize once again that there is no one in Artemovsk except PMC Wagner. Therefore, the stories of a certain adviser to the acting head of the DPR about the operational encirclement of Artemovsk are nothing more than misleading the Russians, ”he added.

The difficulties of using Western tanks in the Donbass are named

According to the Military Watch portal, the reason lies in the difficult maintenance of the vehicles and their effectiveness in battle, since both tanks are much heavier than those used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine and will require significantly more fuel, which makes them unsuitable for use in urban battles, and their lack of machine guns loading implies the presence of additional crew members, RIA Novosti reports.
The publication recalled that the reputation of tanks is thoroughly damaged, even the Turkish generals described the experience of using these machines as "painful". nine0005
Recall that Polish President Andrzej Duda promised to transfer to Ukraine a company of German-made Leopard 2 tanks.

The DPR clarified the data on the operational encirclement of Artemovsk
Donetsk deputy Berdichevsky: the Armed Forces of Ukraine are still capable of supporting militants in Artemovsk
nine0061 At least five thousand fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are in Artemivsk. And despite the operational environment, they can still be supplied with ammunition and provisions, Donetsk deputy Vladislav Berdichevsky told the VZGLYAD newspaper. Earlier, the adviser to the acting head of the DPR announced the operational encirclement of Artemovsk.
“Artemovsk is really in the operational environment. But this does not mean that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have lost the opportunity to bring in more and more fighters, equipment, ammunition and provisions,” said Vladislav Berdichevsky, deputy of the People’s Council of the DPR.
nine0005 “I do not rule out that in the future we will see the capture of the city according to Soledar's scenario. But this will most likely not happen very quickly. In Artemovsk, according to my estimates, there are at least five thousand militants. And we will have to gradually knock them out of there, ”continued the interlocutor.
“At the same time, events are developing very rapidly. The picture of what is happening is constantly changing. There is an almost continuous rotation. But it is too early to say that the APU in this area fell into the boiler. It is necessary to continue to destroy their logistics and take more fire control of the routes leading to the city,” Berdichevsky warned. nine0005
Earlier, adviser to the acting head of the DPR, Igor Kimakovsky, said that Artemovsk was taken by Russian troops into an operational encirclement. He also noted that “serious fists” are being created from both sides and “enveloping the city”, artillery is working closely, Channel One reports.
Acting head of the DPR Denis Pushilin stated that a turning point had come in the liberation of the entire territory of the republic.

In addition, the acting head of the DPR added that the systematic occupation of Artemovsk and Seversk would allow breaking through the defensive line of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as reaching the Slavyansk and Kramatorsk directions.
At the same time, the day before, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky promised to “continuously” supply the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Artemivsk with ammunition. Donetsk deputy Vladislav Berdichevsky, speaking about the most promising areas after Soledar, noted that the Russian Armed Forces should destroy the enemy's logistics.
Recall that the establishment of control over Soledar allows blocking Ukrainian forces in Artemovsk and firing artillery from advantageous positions. On Thursday, the occupation of the village of Opytnoe south of Artemovsk was confirmed by the Russian military.

Foreign Ministry pointed to Russia's clash with the "NATO-Ukrainian conglomerate"
Director of the CIS countries department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Polishchuk announced Russia's opposition to the "NATO-Ukrainian conglomerate"
Russia is not opposed to Ukraine, but to “the NATO-Ukrainian military-industrial conglomerate,” said Aleksey Polishchuk, director of the second department of the CIS countries of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
Polishchuk pointed out that since Kyiv refused to negotiate, the situation has changed, "new regions have become part of Russia," so that in the event of resumption of negotiations, "new realities should be taken into account," TASS reports.
nine0005 He said that at the end of February the Russian side "responded to Kyiv's request", and in March-April the parties "reached a mutually acceptable basis for agreements." However, Ukraine suddenly refused to continue negotiations. Polishchuk expressed confidence that Kyiv did this "at the behest of the Anglo-Saxons, who were afraid of the prospect of a peaceful settlement."
Polishchuk noted that Russia has to “deal not with Kyiv”, but with “the NATO-Ukrainian military-industrial conglomerate”, moreover, Ukrainians in it are “an instrument of armed struggle against Russia”, and NATO countries play the role of “rear, supplier weapons, intelligence and target designations. nine0005
Although there have already been about 20 proposals for mediation and so-called good offices for a settlement, "not all of them are sincere and trustworthy," Polishchuk said. In particular, this applies to states that have imposed sanctions against Russia and supply weapons to Ukraine, “thus becoming a party to the conflict.
” He does not see "how this can be combined with their mediating ambitions." According to Polishchuk, Kyiv's refusal of Russia's proposed Christmas truce suggests that the Ukrainian authorities do not want to be associated with the inhabitants of the new Russian regions, as well as "with their own citizens, whose lives and fates" Kyiv "is indifferent." nine0005
Polishchuk is not surprised by this, because “there is an eight-year experience of Kyiv sabotaging the work of the contact group and the Normandy format, daily shelling of Donbass cities by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, despite the agreements reached then on a ceasefire at Christmas, Easter and the beginning of the school year.” He expressed regret that international structures and Western countries, as before, condone such behavior of Kyiv.
Recall that Russia launched a special military operation to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine, demanding that Crimea be recognized as Russian, and the DNR and LNR as independent states.
A number of political conditions were also put forward. However, due to the position of Kyiv, the geographical tasks of the NWO have changed. Since the DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions wanted to return to Russia, President Vladimir Putin approved the admission of these regions to our country. nine0005 Watch more videos on the YouTube channel VZGLYAD
