Russians have started to install Starlink on their drones more often, — Sternenko The enemy uses satellite communications, Ukrainian LTE and "mesh networks" (a chain of repeaters) to control UAVs at long distances. In addition to Shahed, Starlink is already being fixed on drones such as "Italmas" and "Molniya". https://twitter.com/user/status/2016554870329786625

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas called for changing EU decision-making on foreign and security policy from unanimity to qualified majority voting.

I spent 10 years in Putin's prisons. In 2025, I was labeled a 'terrorist' for opposing the war.
🧵Now leaked Interpol files prove what I've long understood: the Kremlin has weaponized international policing into a worldwide dragnet for those who oppose Putin. [1/14] https://twitter.com/user/status/2016531262337429616
Despite loud pronouncements, Europeans are still too pathetic to seize the Russian tankers that are the very core of financing Putin's war against them. https://twitter.com/user/status/2016754733470318719
Let me be clear: we want strong trans-Atlantic ties. The U.S. will remain Europe’s partner and ally. But Europe need to adapt to the new realities. Europe is no longer Washington’s primary center of gravity.
Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney hit the nail on its head in his own speech in Davos. It’s time also for Europe to take down its sign. To acknowledge that this tectonic shift is here to stay. And act with urgency. https://twitter.com/user/status/2016471801824412043
The Russians are preparing a new massive strike – our intelligence indicates this. The United States, Europe, and all our partners have to understand how this discredits diplomatic talks. https://twitter.com/user/status/2016604620382982473
As this insane idea keeps resurfacing — that Ukraine should "give away" its land and people that russia tried and failed to conquer, in exchange for vague guarantees that may or may not materialise — time to remind:

Nine days after Carney's speech in Davos and it's still being discussed, analyzed and quoted. Amazing stuff!
If the Europeans have the spine to redefine their relationship with the US (and Russia, in terms of their support of Ukraine) in more than just words then historians will point to Carney's speech as the galvanizing factor.

U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham has called on Trump to immediately provide Ukraine with long-range Tomahawk missiles, stating that the pressure the United States is currently exerting on Russia is "obviously not working". https://twitter.com/user/status/2018736022373224712
Last night, the very minute that Trump was boasting of having gotten Putin not to bomb Ukraine's cities during this extreme cold, Russia was committing one of the largest attacks of the war on cities all across Ukraine. Trump is Putin's whore. https://twitter.com/user/status/2018576185383645500

The attack on the Kapustin Yar training ground was joined by the Special Operations Forces and their agents on the territory of Russia. To fulfill the task, SSO also “interacted and coordinated efforts with Chernaya Iskra”. https://twitter.com/user/status/2019447389996654793
A tragic day for global security. The last major US-Russia nuclear arms control treaty has expired. With limits on strategic arsenals gone, the world is now a more dangerous place. https://twitter.com/user/status/2019448943449436430

There was an attempted assassination on a Russian military intelligence deputy head this morning in Russia (shot multiple times and is hospitalized). He's a pretty significant military figure in Russia.

🇺🇦❗️ "Unlikely scenario that the war will end this year at all," — People's Deputy and Secretary of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security Roman Kostenko in an interview with RBC-Ukraine
▪️Peace at any cost is a trap: the Russian Federation demands the surrender of territories, the imposition of a language and a church.
▪️Any stop without security guarantees will be used by the enemy to prepare a new strike.
▪️Real pace of occupation: For the entire year of 2025, the Russians captured a territory equal to only 16% of the Donetsk region. At this rate, it will take them more than 2 years for just one region.
▪️Putin's goal has not changed: The enemy seeks to cut off Ukraine from the Black Sea and completely destroy Ukrainian identity.
▪️The "Black Swan" factor: The end of the war in 2026 is possible only in the event of unexpected events inside the Russian Federation or critical losses of the enemy. https://twitter.com/user/status/2021564581810667828
I held the daily coordination call. Reports about constant Russian strikes are coming in from virtually all communities along the border with Russia and all frontline regions. In Kherson alone, there were 470 attack drones over the past day, and although most of them were neutralized, there were still hits. https://twitter.com/user/status/2021563938907771198
Trump's negotiators with Putin seem more interested in financial deals for their friends than a just peace in Ukraine. Putin knows this. He's promising trillions in investments https://twitter.com/user/status/2020550027194900647
Russian bloggers are in full panic mode, claiming that their deactivated Starlink terminals now report their positional information to Ukrainian intelligence https://twitter.com/user/status/2020490128158781856
Orban, Putin's bootlicker, is terrified because he knows he's going to lose the April elections. His statements are getting increasingly bizarre. „Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán said that Brussels and Ukraine have “declared war” on Budapest after Politico published an article about the idea of “advance EU membership” for Ukraine and possible ways to overcome a Hungarian veto. https://twitter.com/user/status/2021516968482795984
Believe it’s a coincidence if you will, but these are also Russia's prime targets because they are Ukraine's staunchest allies. Trump attacking them is yet another Kremlin dream made reality. https://twitter.com/user/status/2019794651243245864
OPERATION "STARLINK" WORKED PERFECTLY After Russians were cut off from Starlink, they started looking for people in Ukraine to register new dishes on. In response, Ukrainians launched fake Telegram bots where Russian military themselves sent device data, coordinates and even transferred money. https://twitter.com/user/status/2021972049158185449
Monitors have recorded signs suggesting a possible massive Russian missile strike overnight on February 17. The reported scenario includes up to 400 Shahed drones, 30 Iskander K or M ballistic missiles and up to 30 cruise missiles
☠️ Russian losses in battle for Kupiansk reach 27 to 1 ratio
❗️Before Christmas, Ukrainian units surrounded approximately 200 Russian soldiers within the city. This encirclement followed successful counter-strikes by “Khartia”.
Rubio on Ukraine: "Usually when a President tries to engage himself in peacemaking, in ending wars, that's applauded. This is one of the few times, when people criticize a President trying to end a war." The criticism isn't about ending the war; it’s about demanding Ukraine’s surrender in a war it hasn’t lost or started, and disgusting bothsidism that ignores russia's war crimes and the illegality of an invasion that is just the latest in a long line of russian aggression.
The governor of Russia's Bryansk says last night's Ukrainian drone attack was the largest attack any Russian region has seen for the entire war. With Russia's Belgorod now without basic utilities until April, Ukraine is now focusing on doing the same to Bryansk.
A Pantsir, a radar, and a landing craft: @DI_Ukraine
’s “Prymary” turned up the heat in Crimea again. Last week, Ukrainian military intelligence struck high-value Russian assets: • Pantsir-S1 air defense system • Nebo-U radar system • BK-16 landing craft Million-dollar equipment — now scrap metal.
Zelenskyy on Ukraine and NATO: The Ukrainian army is the strongest army in Europe. Thanks to our heroes. And it's simply not smart to keep this army outside NATO. But at the very least — let that be YOUR decision, not Putin's decision.
❗️❗️❗️ “Putin is afraid of his soldiers returning home, which is why he needs them to keep fighting”
♟️�������� World chess legend and Russian opposition figure living in exile in the United States, Garry Kasparov, on the Ukraine–Russia war:
�� “If we listen to what Russian propaganda, Putin himself, and his inner circle are saying, there are no signs that the war will end tomorrow. It’s not even about ending the war — even a ceasefire would mean Putin has to decide what to do with the army.”
Hillary Clinton: "The Trump admin's position towards Ukraine is disgraceful.. The effort that Putin & Trump are making to profit off the misery & death of the Ukrainian people is a historic error & corrupt to the nth degree.
