Good morning. I use the hormonal contraceptive Vines and take it at 9 p.m. Unfortunately yesterday I forgot, it was the pill from the 18th day in a blister, at 9 o'clock there is a 12-hour delay and I took it at 9:02-9:05, should I continue to use contraception as before and will I be protected or otherwise?

Nothing. Please continue as I have written in my previous statements. You didn't forget to take the pill after more than 12 hours.
Sorry, the situation took place on 24.11 and the intercourse was only before
And what if the intercourse was somehow up to 2-3 days before the event? I also don't remember if this was not the case after the incident with the pill

In my opinion, a difference of 5 minutes will not make a difference here and you should use the drug in the same way as before, without skipping the bleeding for withdrawal. If you want, of course you can do so, but in your situation, in my opinion, there is no need to do so. In my opinion, it makes more sense to use an additional method of contraception (condom) for the next 7 days.
And I don't know if I should postpone my period as in the leaflet or continue taking it as before:(

Please use contraception as usual, in the case of Vines tablets it is allowed to delay the use of the drug for up to 12 hours. In your case, the protection should be maintained, but if you have any doubts - you can use an additional method of contraception for the next 7 days.
