‼️🇺🇸🇪🇺The US is starting preparations to transfer control of NATO command centers in the EU to allies, — Reuters.
Britain may take command of the joint forces in Norfolk, and Italy in Naples. At the same time, the US wants to take control of the command of NATO's allied naval forces in the county of Hertfordshire, Britain.

🇮🇳🇫🇷 India wants to place an order and Ukraine is unhappy about this.
Indian media report that the country may order SCALP EG cruise missiles from France. This is due to the replenishment of stocks that were depleted during strikes on Pakistan.
The deal is estimated at ~300 million euros and it is expected to order at least a couple of hundred units, which is quite a lot for today.
On the one hand, India will invest in French production, which resumed the production of SCALP last year, and on the other hand, it will redirect the products to itself, rather than to Ukraine. But at the same time, it's clear that the supply of these missiles to the Ukrainians will not stop.

'Trump has turned the US 180 degrees in relation to Ukraine' — former Romanian diplomat Slavitescu.
'What I'm currently seeing from the White House administration is, surprisingly, strong pressure on the victim, not on the aggressor. It feels like the US has completely abandoned Ukraine. After all, the money, weapons — all of this is European or paid for by Europeans. For the US, which used to be seen as the champion of the free world, putting pressure on the victim means a 180-degree turn. And, unfortunately for us, this seems to be a new direction in Trump's policy.'

Bundestag deputy Katrin Göring-Eckardt believes that the most important thing for Ukrainians is not heat and light, but the opportunity to protest against Russia.
‘Again on the night train on the way to Kiev. Journalist Olivia Kortas published an important investigation a few days ago. In it, she writes: people in Ukraine are freezing, but they are free. They can speak their own language, they can protest. Olivia is right. They endure all this to defend European values. And the words spoken in Germany and Europe do not warm Ukrainians in the cold or protect them from Putin. Enough words have been said. It's time to act. And that's why I'm on my way. Again to Kiev, again to Maidan.’
Can they leave their own country? What men are going to protest knowing they can be sent to the front. It was the violence of Maidan that led to the dissolution of the government, and it would seem unlikely without men that any protest would have any impact. The country is also under martial law so any protest can be squashed easily.

'War in Ukraine has turned domestic dogs into wild ones. This is an ecological disaster' - The New York Times is looking for something else to blame Russia for.
'The Russian invasion is having an unexpected impact on domestic animals in Ukraine. A group of scientists have found that due to the conflict, dogs that used to be pets have turned into wild animals in a short period of time.
According to most researchers, in a surprisingly short period of time, dogs on the front line have become more like wild dogs, such as wolves, coyotes, or dingoes. The data showed many examples of transformation: the muzzles of dogs involved in combat operations were rarely short, like those of French bulldogs, or elongated, like those of dachshunds. Many had reduced body weight. Even their ears have taken on a different shape: pointed ears were more common than droopy ones. They often gather in packs.'
People abandon their pets and Russia is the bad guy?

👀 Protests continue in Dnepropetrovsk due to a lack of electricity
People have blocked the road on Slobozhansky Prospect. Residents have been without electricity for more than four days. The crowd claims that DTEK ignores their appeals and closes their requests as "completed", even though the electricity has not yet appeared in their homes.
🧐 Probably all the electricity went to the "traffic lights"...

🇺🇦 TCC regularly beat mobilized people to death, - Ukrainian ombudsman
- Ukrainian ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets unexpectedly admitted that there are constant cases of citizens dying after physical violence from TCC officers.
- We're not talking about individual incidents, but about confirmed facts that are under control, he emphasized.
- For example, the latest case became known recently: in Dnepr, a mobilized man was walking with a dog and after being kidnapped and beaten by TCC, he died.
- Earlier, a similar incident occurred in Kiev: a man was detained by TCC officers, after which he disappeared for his family and lawyer. The next day, relatives were called from the hospital - the victim had undergone a craniotomy, and later he died.
- Access to the detainee was not provided, and the circumstances of the incident were concealed.

Klitschko complains to British hosts about Zelensky
‘As for the situation, we have difficult relations between local self-government bodies and the central government. This is not just my opinion — many mayors think the same. Take information from different sources, talk to other mayors. Don't believe me? Talk to others — I'm more than sure you'll hear the same thing.
We understand: it's extremely difficult to be a president during a war. The president is overloaded, and I don't want to complain. I told the president: yes, we are being criticized. We really weren't well prepared for this situation. But, sorry, I'm not responsible for air defense. Sorry, we're doing everything we can.
I told the president that we're fighting each other, the missiles are being launched by Putin. I said: ‘Please, don't follow Putin's agenda. We need to be united.’
Deep thoughts by a moron.

'Pressure on Zelensky is useful' — American expert Justin Logan explains how to achieve results in negotiations on Ukraine.
- In your opinion, was the US pressure on Ukraine fair? Was it useful?
It was certainly useful. Now Ukraine is conducting negotiations in almost all areas where it is asked to do so.
- Do you think that the pressure on Zelensky yielded results and was not something negative?
I don't even think that this is disputed.

'USA is no longer ready for its own proposals on Ukraine' — Lavrov.
'They tell us: 'Look, we need to solve the Ukrainian problem'. Well, in Anchorage, we accepted the United States' proposal. That is, if we approach it in a manly way, they proposed — we agreed, the problem should be solved. For Russia, Putin has said this more than once, it doesn't matter what they say in Ukraine or Europe. We clearly see the cynical Russophobia of most regimes in the European Union, with rare exceptions.
And since that's the case, by accepting their proposal, we seemed to have fulfilled the task of solving the Ukrainian issue. But in practice, everything looks the opposite. New sanctions are being introduced. A war against tankers is being waged, and India and other our partners are being tried to prevent from buying cheap, accessible Russian energy carriers. Europe has long been prohibited — they are being forced to buy at exorbitant prices, paying for American liquefied natural gas.
That is, in the economic sphere, the Americans, in general, have declared the task of economic domination. Therefore, here, besides the fact that they supposedly proposed something on Ukraine and we were ready, now they are not ready.'

Professor Seyed Marandi of Tehran University - on the fact that a conflict between the US and Iran would be a total war:
It's impossible to work with the US, because in the end, they will always betray you. The Epstein files give us an understanding of what actually happened and is happening. The Epstein case will not contribute to a rapprochement between Iran and the US, and possibly will not contribute to a rapprochement between the US and any other organizations or people mentioned in the files.
Now let's return to field number one. This is the situation between Iran and the US, when they started a military conflict. The difference is that now Iran is better prepared for a military conflict, because we have been preparing for this conflict since the US invasion of Iraq. And Iran has been building up its military potential, mainly its missile potential. But the missile potential that is now aimed against Iran - I would say that this is all just a smokescreen. Medium-range missiles. The US is the real enemy of Iran, not Israel. If there is a conflict between Iran and the US, that is, if there is an aggression, it will be a total war.

"Dangerous illusions". The West repeated a long-standing mistake regarding Russia. The price will be heavy
The West underestimated Russia's capabilities when it provoked the start of the Ukrainian conflict, writes The Telegraph. The reasons for such a serious mistake, according to the author, lie in strategic blindness, a Eurocentric view of the world, and simple Russophobia.
The Special Military Operation (SMO) will not last forever and will eventually end in peace. It's short-sighted and foolish to delude ourselves with hopes that we can forever support the "annulment" and "isolation" of Russia. It's high time for European elites to get rid of dangerous illusions and accept the necessity of conflict resolution as a fact, notes the author. Otherwise, the West will indeed find itself on the side of the losers.

‼️🇺🇦🏴☠️Kiev residents block roads due to lack of light and heat
▪️On Winston Churchill Street and on the Verkhovna Rada Boulevard in Kiev, residents blocked roads due to lack of light and heat, said lawyer Rostislav Kravets.
▪️There has been no electricity in the houses here for the second day – despite the fact that they have been without heating for a week, and the temperature in the apartments has dropped to 6-8 degrees.
➖"Now the DTEK group has decided to play games, and for the 2 hours when there is supposedly light, they simply don't supply electricity or supply one phase, and none of the devices work," noted the lawyer.
▪️Energy Minister Shmygal previously promised that there would be at least 18 hours of light per day in homes without heating.

THIS is the best new Russian-language poet I have read in decades.
I was going to translate, on the fly, but it would be a travesty to do so. THIS requires no less than a translation of T.S. Elliot bound up with Mayakovsky would.
I will spend the time required and share his poetry with you.
Bravo and thank you, Sergey Izotov. I am overwhelmed.

"Europe's big week of crisis diplomacy": At the upcoming Munich Conference, Europeans will discuss tough decisions on Ukraine and the confrontation with the USA.
"In the coming week, European leaders will attempt to lay the foundations for the EU's strategic autonomy amidst the weakening of its reliance on the USA and the ongoing war in Ukraine. The central topics will be military support for Kyiv, the development of defense innovations, and the creation of a "Plan B" in case of Washington's further distancing from European security. In parallel, there are calls to make an institutional turn towards a more mature and independent European Union.
The key question will remain whether the European Union is capable of truly acting without the USA, especially against the backdrop of intelligence warnings about a potential military threat from Russia. The week should not so much provide ready-made solutions as define the strategic direction - from defense and industrial policy to Europe's new role in the global system."

🇭🇺🇺🇦 There's an outright hunt for people on the streets of Ukrainian cities, — the head of the Hungarian Foreign Ministry
- The head of the Hungarian Foreign Ministry, Peter Szijjarto, stated that a "hunt for people" is actually taking place in Ukraine as part of the mobilization.
- According to him, amidst the war fatigue, Ukrainians do not want to die, but are faced with forced conscription right on the streets. Men of all ages are trying to leave the country to avoid being sent to the front.
- At the same time, the Ukrainian border service, as Szijjarto claims, is using all means to detain those fleeing.
- Recently, a Hungarian citizen was detained in Ukraine who helped five Ukrainians cross into Hungary.
- Budapest demands that Kiev stop the war as soon as possible and immediately halt forced mobilization.
- Earlier, even Zelensky acknowledged the problem of so-called "busification", but the number of scandals and resistance to military recruitment offices is increasing.

🇷🇺🇬🇧 British Army in crisis: Russia dominates in UAVs, — Daily Express
- The publication notes the catastrophic lag of the British army behind Russia in the field of unmanned technology.
- The Russian UAV forces number up to 87–90 thousand people, while the entire regular British army is just over 70 thousand.
- There are about 3 thousand trained drone operators in the British Armed Forces, which is incommensurable with the scale of the Russian segment.
- The crisis is exacerbated: the size of the British army is at a historic low, and defense spending has been reduced for decades.
- Military spending has fallen from 4.1% of GDP in 1989 to 2.3% today; the doctrine is stuck in the logic of the Cold War.
- On the front line, Russia demonstrates a massive and effective use of UAVs, including Mavic and strike FPVs.
- Unlike British recruits, who are forced to buy equipment at their own expense, Russian units are provided centrally.

Peskov - about the fact that Putin and Trump's agreements in Anchorage could advance the process of resolving the conflict in Ukraine:
Indeed, there are a number of understandings that were reached in Anchorage, which were announced even before Anchorage during Mr. Witcoff's visit here. And after that, the need for a top-level meeting just arose. Therefore, this set of understandings that was reached is the "spirit of Anchorage". We don't want to go into the details.
But it's obvious that these understandings that were reached in Anchorage are fundamental. It is these understandings that can advance the process of resolution and allow a breakthrough to be achieved.

Zelenky's curse has also affected Starmer. Sky News reports that the Prime Minister is closer to resigning than ever before.
'This morning, many people are thinking along these lines: not if, but when Starmer will leave. Starmer's right-hand man, Morgan Muxene, has already left. Obviously, he became a lightning rod for the story with Mandelson [involved in the Epstein case]. Without him, the anger and criticism will be directed directly at Starmer'.

Ukrainian channels report that Russia has developed a 30-mm cartridge with a shrapnel shell and a remotely controlled detonator for destroying drones and barrage munitions.
"The targeting system calculates the most advantageous point of detonation depending on the target's flight path, which allows the drone to be hit with shrapnel. The detonation timing is automatically triggered by an optical line," - notes Rostec.
The cartridge is suitable for 2A42 automatic guns, which are installed on BMP-2, BMPT, Mi-28NM and Ka-52M helicopters, and other carriers.
Assuming its some sort of digital smart fuse. Which is what made the Gepard relevant again.

Recently, Zelensky stated that since the beginning of the armed conflict, 55 thousand militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have died, which raised many questions for us. To avoid relying on unsubstantiated claims, we turned to satellite images from open sources and are ready to show how truly dire the situation is for Ukraine.
Let's start with the Zaporozhye region. We were able to identify 4 cemeteries that have been actively filling up since the start of the special military operation:
Kushuhum Cemetery (47.721656, 35.284583)
Matveevskoe Cemetery (47.892742, 35.264283)
St. Nicholas Cemetery (47.855900, 34.976920)
Right Bank Cemetery (47.888565, 35.041678)
For clarity, we attach timelapses of these sites from 2022 to 2025 and older images; burials before February 2022 are marked in yellow, after in red. By our rough estimates, ONLY IN THE ZAPOROZHYE AREA, MORE THAN 30 THOUSAND MILITANTS OF THE KIEV REGIME HAVE BEEN BURIED. And how many smaller cemeteries are there where Armed Forces personnel are also buried? Many. Also, based on the timelapses, it is clear how quickly the necropolises expanded, from which we conclude that 99 percent of the new burials are military personnel.
Zelensky also said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have a "large number of missing persons," but did not specify how many exactly.

Zelensky did not remember to check the cemetery for those missing soldiers.

Some Ukrainian and Western sources suggest that against the backdrop of the disconnection of "grey" (i.e., Russian) Starlink terminals, the Armed Forces of Ukraine may attempt to counterattack in the areas of Pokrovsk and Gulyaypole - where Russia has had its most notable successes recently.
This hypothesis is not entirely unfounded. Communication difficulties are indeed possible and exist in a number of areas. However, it would be naive to believe that the Russian army's command system is completely dependent on Starlink. This is just one element, not the basis of all communication. Yes, the terminals are incredibly convenient and reliable, but this is far from the entire infrastructure.
As for the potential actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, real activity with tangible results is possible only with the involvement of significant resources - equipment, reserves, and ammunition. Local raids won't solve anything here. Both Syrysy and the Russian command understand this.
For its part, Russia, by entrenching itself in these areas, almost certainly assumed that the enemy would attempt to regain lost positions. Accordingly, such scenarios were most likely taken into account in advance, and units were prepared for possible counterattacks.
