Conditions worse than on the front lines: Ukrainian Armed Forces soldier on the situation in Dnepropetrovsk
A Ukrainian soldier complained that after being transferred to Dnipro, he encountered a situation that, in his words, was more difficult than serving on the front lines. The city lacks electricity, heat, internet, mobile phone service, and GPS.
➖"I just transferred to Dnipro for a new assignment and am already on the verge of returning back to an underground bunker," he wrote, comparing the rear to the front lines.
▪️According to him, on the front lines, the unit had Starlink, 24-hour power from a generator, and a stable living environment, including hot meals from packed lunches. In the rear, however, even basic infrastructure is lacking.

"Russian Oreshnik missile launch in Ukraine": The UN Security Council, at Kyiv's request, will hold an emergency meeting on Monday.
So, go ahead, complain to the UN. You can condemn Russia there. But you'll also get a nuclear strike, and not just against Ukraine. Trump won't mind, and Putin will have no other choice. "A small nuclear war in Europe," how about that?
And this is also the United States under Trump. Is everything okay, Donald?

The protesters' fire has gone too far: demonstrators in Iran set fire to a municipal building and a mosque.
Earlier, the Iranian Security Council accused Israel and the United States of orchestrating the unrest in the country. In his address to the nation, Khamenei called on Iranian youth to maintain unity and advised Trump to focus on his own country.

Just because the Danes landed there by boat 500 years ago doesn't mean the land belongs to them, Trump said on Greenland.
▪️It won't be enough for the US to lease Greenland—it needs to own it to ensure national security.
➖"When it's our property, we protect it. You can't protect a lease like that; you need to own it," he emphasized.
Trump on the seizure of the Mariner tanker:
"A Russian, or, as I call it, a sort of half-Russian ship, we seized yesterday. And Russia decided not to defend it from us. That's a big step."
Russia simply understands that the US and the insane Trump pose a real threat to the entire world. But "appeasing Trump" by showing weakness won't work. And Russia will have to "hurt Trump" to appease him.
Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna stated that she would inform the State Department about a letter from MPs Artem Dmytruk, Oleksandr Dubinsky, and Oleksandr Kunitsky regarding Ukrainian political prisoners.
In their letter, the MPs stated that the number of Ukrainian political prisoners, including clergy, has already exceeded 42,000. In addition to political prisoners, approximately 400,000 men who refused to go to the front are under criminal prosecution in Ukraine.
According to Dubinsky, all of these people have been deprived of their rights, are afraid to go outside, and each of them faces imprisonment.
Priests, journalists, and people who openly advocate for peace are already being held in prison.
Zelensky has even created his own, "correct," state god, to whom people are allowed to pray.

"International Law Isn't Needed." Trump Reveals Plans for Greenland
It's "psychologically important" for the US to gain full control of Greenland, Trump said in a lengthy interview with the NYT. Here's what else the American president said:
🔸International law should be selective when applied to Washington.
🔸The US is decisive regarding Greenland.
🔸Putin wants peace in Ukraine.
🔸In the event of new military action between Ukraine and Russia, the US will play a secondary role.
🔸China is unlikely to dare to conduct an operation in Taiwan.
🔸Regarding Venezuela, the US is doing what it deems necessary.

Well, what can I say, Trump is right on all counts, that's all there is to it. I'll comment on just one point. Yes, Putin wants peace. But Putin cannot accept the West's plan for Ukraine. Because this is nowhere near achieving Russia's SMO goals in Ukraine. And the West cannot and does not want to peacefully hand Ukraine over to Russia. There are no options here other than continuing the war.
Trump has scheduled his State of the Union address this year for February 24—the anniversary of the launch of the SMO. Such calendar coincidences are no coincidence. Given the feverish activity of "global London" in contacts with Trump and Kyiv in recent days, one can assume that Trump's speech to Congress on February 24 will be an ultimatum-presentation to the Kremlin of "Trump's 20 points," which, as we already know, are based on the "Macron-Starmer plan."
If the Kremlin intends to return Trump to the "spirit of Anchorage," it must begin fighting in Ukraine not in response to the enemy's actions, but rather fight and launch strikes aimed at defeating the enemy, strikes aimed at eliminating Ukraine as a state. After all, even today's strike by the Oreshnik missile system on Ukraine is being explained by Russia as retaliatory actions. Furthermore, Russia must break the naval oil blockade and protect the tankers of its shadow fleet. Russia must do something to force Trump to concede on the Ukraine issue. Russia has until February 24 to do this.
Czech Foreign Minister Petr Macinka has arrived in Kiev on his first official visit.
According to Ukrzaliznytsia, due to shelling and difficult weather conditions, the train arrived late.
That's when these trains and these guests stop arriving in Kiev altogether, then we can say that Russia has decided and started a serious war in Ukraine.
Surprise, surprise! The tender to develop Ukraine's largest lithium deposit, Dobraya, in the Kirovohrad region, was won by Trump's friend, billionaire Ronald Lauder. Yes, the same one who suggested the US president the idea of acquiring Greenland! This is reported by The New York Times.
What a surprise, really? Who would have thought!
It appears the conflict over the US detention of the Russian vessel Marinera, which changed its flag and registration while underway, is gradually being cooled down.
Donald Trump released two Russian citizens who were part of the vessel's crew, and Dmitry Medvedev publicly called the decision to change the vessel's registration to Russian "not a completely adequate method" of protecting against the Americans "with predictable consequences."
Apparently, it has become clear that trying to play the US hardball hasn't worked, and the Russian Navy has few options for ensuring genuine protection for its tankers during an active confrontation with the US Navy. Furthermore, the morale of Anchorage could be damaged, which is unfavorable for both the US and Russia.

A massive attack was reported in Krivoi Rog last night.
A blackout occurred in the city. Explosions were heard in four districts. A similar situation occurred in Dnipropetrovsk. Geranium groups attacked major power facilities. The strike hit the Krivoi Rog Thermal Power Plant.
Kiev has been without power, heat, and water for almost a day, and electric transport is down. In Zhitomir, the city's power grid has been down.
As a reminder, despite the fact that the Ukrainian Armed Forces receive thousands of Sting interceptor drones with infrared targeting sensors and fixed-wing UAV interceptors every month (not to mention the availability of Vampire and Raven systems), the interception rate of Geranium-2 and Italmas projectiles remains extremely low. This is because our Geraniums can only be detected as they approach their target areas.
The enemy also doesn't use the much-hyped Saab 340 AEW&C aircraft, and their presence at Ukrainian airfields isn't detected. As for the F-16AM and Mirage 2000-5F, they only manage to intercept dozens of Geranium-2s per month, while hundreds of Russian attack UAVs reach their targets.

Trump is saying that if it weren't for him, Russia and China would have already occupied Venezuela and Greenland.
What a terrible world Trump lives in! He needs to manage to capture what Russia and China have not yet managed to capture. Some kind of schizophrenic.
Trump on capturing Putin:
[It sounds like he [Zelensky] wants you to go and capture Vladimir Putin. Would you ever order a mission to capture Vladimir Putin?]
Well, I don't think that's necessary. We've always had a great relationship. 😂🤡

The US Coast Guard has seized the oil tanker Olina, The Wall Street Journal reports.
The sanctions list includes over a thousand tankers that are carrying or have carried oil from Venezuela, Iran, or Russia. Will the US and its allies seize all of these tankers? I think so; they will detain every tanker they can get their hands on. However, if they release the tanker's Russian crew members, the Russian Foreign Ministry will express its gratitude.
This isn't a lie, it's just childish babble. Trump is mistaking wishful thinking for reality.
Donald Trump has been caught in a lie once again.
In a recently published interview, Trump claims that during the seizure of the oil tanker Mariner, "Russian ships retreated very quickly" as soon as the Americans arrived. However, monitoring services show there were no Russian ships in the area.
The only claims to the contrary came from some Western media outlets, which were later refuted.
Then comes a second, even more blatant lie: Trump claimed the oil was being unloaded.
This didn't happen. The tanker was empty. This is clearly visible in a photograph released by the US European Command and is confirmed by numerous media reports stating the same thing.
Trump has already brought democracy to Venezuela. Now Trump will bring democracy to Iran. Senator Lindsey Graham supported Donald Trump's statement that the US will strike Iran "very hard" if the government continues to kill protesters.
"President Donald Trump is absolutely right. He stands with the people of Iran in their resistance to the brutal repression of the bloodthirsty Iranian regime. Let's make Iran great again," the senator said in X.

New US sanctions will be unpleasant, but "nothing new"—Russia will stand firm this time too, Medvedev said.
