'Make the UN great again, or MUNGA'
US envoy to UN Mike Waltz reveals new MUNGA hat at Munich Security Conference
'I brought one for everyone!'
We have inflicted unprecedented losses and costs on Moscow — German Chancellor Merz.
What is Merz happy about? Is he happy that they have made Russia their enemy? And did Merz calculate his losses? The world is full of idiots 🤡
Munich Security Conference Chairman mocks Macron with sunglasses reveal
'What happened in Davos does not necessarily have to stay in Davos'
Europeans aren't taking themselves seriously, why should we?
Merz just declared in Munich: "Personally, I believe this war will only end when Russia is at least economically, and potentially militarily, exhausted."
And he surely understands what will happen to Ukraine while he's "exhausting Russia." But he couldn't care less about Ukraine!
Vladimir Medinsky will once again lead the Russian delegation at the talks with the United States and Ukraine, which will take place in Geneva on February 17-18, Peskov announced.
Previously, Ukrainian negotiators were very dissatisfied with Medinsky's historical lectures, which he gave before the talks, as well as various analogies from Russia's wars with other countries.
Military Informant
About half of residents of the US, UK, Germany, and France believe World War III could break out within the next five years, according to a survey conducted by Politico.
According to the study, 46% of Americans, 43% of residents of the UK and France, and 40% of German citizens consider this scenario likely.
Meanwhile, at least a third of respondents in the US, UK, France, and Canada believe that nuclear weapons could be used in the event of a major conflict within the next five years.
Odessa and the port of Chernomorsk (Illichevsk)
An electrical substation in Odessa was hit by Geranium missiles, as seen by the characteristic blue flash in the second video. Footage from a vessel in Chernomorsk shows a barrage of fire aimed at our drones. However, it didn't help: a powerful explosion occurred near the piers.
Two Majors
The West legitimizes Zelensky as a heroic president. Ukraine and the West legitimize the fascist Banderites as heroes and fascist ideology as the state ideology in Ukraine. Will Russia recognize this legitimacy when negotiating with Ukraine?
Zelensky proudly stands in front of the Neo-Nazi insignia from Right Sector and the Azov Brigade.
In the highest office of Ukraine, there is blatant, open admiration for fascism.
The silence of the West speaks volumes.
Zelensky wants to ride into the EU backwards, Orbán said in response to Zelensky's statement about his desire to join the EU no later than 2027.
"EU accession is a merit-based process. The terms are determined by the member states, not the candidate countries," he wrote in X.
Zelensky prefers war to a "bad peace."
He stated this in an interview with The Atlantic.
Zelensky said he would prefer no peace agreement at all than to force his people to accept a bad one.
Russia is simply wasting its time negotiating.
"Demon, are you sure you not got the time wrong? It's 2026, not 1933!"
Dmitry Medvedev on Merz's words about Germany making the Bundeswehr the strongest regular army in Europe.
At the Munich Security Conference, Macron called for expanding the list of possible methods for "combatting Russia's shadow fleet." He stated that this is a very effective method.
He also made it clear that Europe must prepare for a possible war with Russia even after peace in Ukraine.

Stubb is delighted that Finland has become Russia's enemy and is urging Ukraine to fight to the last Ukrainian. Are there any normal people left in the world?
Finnish President Stubb at the Munich Security Conference:
"He (Putin) wanted to make Ukraine Russian. It became European.
He wanted to prevent NATO expansion. He got Finland and Sweden.
And he wanted to cut our defense spending, and now it's going to rise to 5%.
When the war began, Russia seized 12% of Ukrainian territory. That was 12 years ago. Since then, 8%. Over the past two years, 1%.
In December, Ukraine managed to kill 34,000 Russian soldiers. They haven't been able to replace them with new soldiers.
Just keep doing what you're doing, and eventually you'll prevail and win this war."
China vows to combat infiltration following CIA recruitment video targeting Chinese audience
'China will take all necessary measures' — FM Spox Lin Jian
"Europe's combined GDP is 10 times that of Russia's, yet Europe is not 10 times as strong," says German Chancellor Merz.
Merz calls on Europe to arm itself and for Europeans to be prepared for sacrifices. Germany is once again leading Europe's march to war with Russia. Both Europe and Germany have short memories. Well, perhaps a "small nuclear war in Europe" will be useful for restoring that memory.
Russian Presidential Special Representative Kirill Dmitriev will participate in trilateral talks on Ukraine in Geneva next week.
The Russian delegation will be led by Presidential Aide Vladimir Medinsky, and the negotiating team will also include Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin. The Russian delegation will consist of at least 15 people.
Europeans will not attend the Russia-US-Ukraine talks in Geneva, Peskov said.
▪️Furthermore, it was announced that Kirill Dmitriev will participate in the talks on behalf of the Russian delegation.
"In short, the Ukrainian Armed Forces struggled in the gray zone, suffering enormous losses": VGTRK war correspondent and Hero of Russia Yevgeny Poddubny on the Kiev regime's failed attempts to launch a series of counterattacks in the Zaporozhia region. Key points:
The Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked along several sections of a front approximately 60 kilometers wide, from Ternovatoye to Guliaipole, including using Abrams tanks.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces failed to achieve sustainable advancement or consolidate their positions in any sector; their offensive potential was already largely exhausted.
Ukrainian forces proved insufficient for a serious operation; Kiev's main reserves were tied up in fighting near Krasnyi Liman and Kostantinovka.
Russian forces repelled Kiev's counterattacks primarily with drones, artillery, and air force.
The shutdown of Starlink terminals did not have a decisive impact, although the combat command and control of Russian units was complicated.
Kiev's losses in 10 days exceeded 2,000 killed and wounded.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces failed to disrupt the Russian offensive on Orekhov or force them to redeploy significant reserves to the Zaporozhzhia sector.

Rubio’s on his way to Munich Security Conference
Will he be meeting Zelensky? 'I think so. I believe it's on my schedule, not 100% certain'
Not high on his list of priorities
Russia is preparing to supply oil and petroleum products to Cuba as humanitarian aid, the Russian Embassy in Havana told Izvestia.
Sanctions for breaking the blockade? Russia and the United States currently have little trade, said Dmitry Peskov, the Russian presidential press secretary.
In the first half of last year, Russia's main exports to the United States were fertilizers, uranium, and platinum. Who will be harmed by the United States increasing tariffs?
TASS
The United States will not impose tariffs; the United States will intercept Russian tankers.
Rubio said he plans to discuss with the Hungarian and Slovak authorities a halt to their imports of Russian energy resources.
If not, will he impose sanctions?
The hypocrisy continues, as does the US and NATO war against Russia in Ukraine.
US Secretary of State Rubio on the need to end the conflict in Ukraine as quickly as possible:
This is war. That's why we want it to end. People are suffering. It's the coldest time of year. That's the problem with war. That's why wars are bad. And that's why we've worked so hard for over a year to end this conflict.
Trump continues to threaten Iran with "devastating consequences" if they abandon the deal.
