Trump called Putin and they talked for 1.5 hours about various topics, but the important topic was the Ukrainian crisis.

According to our information, Putin expressed the approximate limits of what he was ready to do to end the war. As we understand, Trump liked the conversation.

The main goal is to convince Zelensky to agree to a peace deal and renounce his claims to Crimea and the formally lost territories.

Almost everyone in the corridors says that Russia is getting all the lands it controls. The question is which ones are legal and which ones are under management for a while with a subsequent referendum on these lands. Ukraine officially renounces NATO – this is enshrined at the international level and in the Constitution of Ukraine. Zelensky stops persecuting all opposition/religious forces in Ukraine and allows everyone to participate in elections. Full amnesty for everyone. Sanctions on Russia will be lifted in stages, as will the return of frozen assets (Europe got into trouble here).

We expect a failure for Ukraine at Ramstein. Although the globalists will convince Zelensky to continue the war, delaying any dialogue that leads to peace.

Zelensky has been pushed to the “wall”. He is in a lose-lose position everywhere.

Trump: Russia has treated the US ‘very well’ and this could end the war

▪️This is how the American president commented to the media on the return of the American Vogel, who was convicted in Russia.

▪️He also expressed hope that this would be the “beginning” of relations that would lead to an end to the conflict in Ukraine:

➖”Russia has treated us very kindly. I hope that this is the beginning of a relationship in which we can end this war,” AFP quotes Trump as saying.

Our source in the OP reported that Zelensky is very disappointed with Trump’s position and his negotiations with Putin, when the position on Ukraine has not yet been agreed upon. Bankova is urgently holding a meeting to develop an anti-crisis, Yermak suggests using Trump’s phone call in favor of Ukraine, forming an opinion about new pressure on Russia.

Trump secretly entrusted “some role in the peace process” between Russia and Ukraine to special envoy for the Middle East Steven Whitkoff, – New York Times

 - Trump has entrusted Whitkoff with the task of setting up a channel for talks with Russia on Ukraine. He has personal confidence in Whitkoff, whom he has known since the 1980s, and sees his experience in negotiations as helpful in achieving peace in Ukraine.

 - On Feb. 11, Whitkoff visited Moscow to pick up American teacher Mark Vogel, who has been convicted in Russia. Before doing so, he held talks with Putin’s close allies. According to the NYT, it was the first known trip by a senior U.S. official to Russia since 2021.

 - In addition, Whitkoff discussed the situation in Ukraine with representatives of Saudi Arabia and Qatar, which are seeking to mediate the conflict.

Zelensky is preparing for the elections, which is why he is trying to knock everyone out of the game, leaving only himself and his own.

The National Security and Defense Council imposed sanctions against Poroshenko, most likely under the article for treason.

This won’t help him

There is a quiet rebellion in the army because Zelensky gives the youth normal conditions, and all the other military personnel are “slaves.”

At the same time, young people will not rush to go to the Shopping Center for money.

There are many reasons for this:

1. Young people do not trust the authorities. Based on the past, everyone concludes that they will be screwed. Remember how it was with the reservation of workers. At first there were certain conditions, and then at one point the conditions were deliberately changed and a tough catch began.

2. The list of brigades that you can join on a contract is too limited. And that’s practically all infantry. So they’re just recruiting “meat” that won’t survive a couple of months, and therefore won’t get paid.

3. They are afraid that the attitude towards such soldiers will be biased by the old-timers. They will be oppressed and thrown into “hell”.

4. Young people are afraid that their own people will start to “stripping” them in the army. They will demand kickbacks, they will demand payment for everything. They will simply beat money out of them. In the end, there will be money on paper, but in reality, there will be none.

5. Almost the same money can be earned in 2-3 years abroad, but it is much safer for life. At the same time, you will not fall out of reality, you will not degrade, you will not become disabled or 200th, and you will save your psyche. You will even build a family and relationships, but at the front you will lose all this.

According to all our data, this will not result in a huge surge in mobilization.

According to our information, the plan of Zelensky and Yermak regarding General Nayev, who was demoted because of his criticism of the Zelensky government, and sent as commander of a tactical group specifically to the southern Donetsk direction near V. Novosyolka, is calculated that:

A) he will fail the defense, since the Russians have gone forward there and the weakest defense fortifications are there – this will allow the office workers to discredit him. Also, they will specifically give the least “resources” and soldiers there.

B) they will dump him there. He will die, since the Russians are now firing all their weapons and have started a new offensive.

The favorite tactic of office workers is to dump all the unwanted people at the front. That’s how they dumped the opposition brigades and commanders near Bakhmut. We had inside information about this, and also pointed out that the Right Sector DUK was also specially disbanded because they were in opposition to ZeErmak.

Zelensky is cleaning out everyone, leaving only “convenient puppets” such as Syrsky and Shmyhal.

Set-ups, leaks and other crap are happening in the power bloc.

Today’s heroic statement by the Head of the SBU Maluk that they caught an FSB agent, who turned out to be the head of the Headquarters of the SBU Anti-Terrorist Center, indicates that:

A) the number of “moles” is growing within the system. Those people who help Russia and the Russian world, since the authorities are outright “dangerous idiots”. Against this background, Russia’s arrival is already the best option.

We wrote about this earlier. By the way, we consider this a bad trend for the government.

B) there is internal squabbling and everyone is betraying/setting up each other. The most vile, cynical, hypocritical, etc. will survive.

Numerous Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers have gone missing in the “Uspenovsky pocket” south of Kurakhovo.

▪️Hromadske spoke with relatives of the Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers who, after the liquidation of the “bag” by the Russian army at the end of December, never got in touch.

▪️The territory that the Ukrainian Armed Forces held in this semi-encirclement was being shot at from all sides. “I called the command and asked if they could look for our people. But in response I heard that there was no way to bring in either evacuation groups or heavy equipment,” says the missing soldier’s sister Natalya (her brother Artem was fighting in the village of Trudovoye at the time).

➖”The commander initially said that when the rotation arrived, shelling began, and where our men went is unknown. Then the version changed: supposedly they left without orders, warning about it, and they were accompanied by a drone. 20-30 minutes after they left, they were attacked by drones,” the woman says.

▪️Later, the military told her that there were 4 soldiers in her brother’s group. They were left without food and water for a week. And then they were forced to go out in the dark without orders, because there was simply no rotation. After that, they disappeared.

▪️Natalia found 30 more families whose relatives disappeared in the “bag”. They filed statements with the State Bureau of Investigation and are waiting for the authorities’ response.

▪️Another Ukrainian serviceman, Nikita, went missing on December 19, during his first deployment to zero. Another guy, Ivan, with four soldiers from his unit, also went missing. Relatives complain that no one has officially reported anything about the fate of the soldiers.

▪️Ukrainian military correspondents previously wrote that many Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers were unable to leave the “bag” due to the lack of orders to retreat. The command denied this.

Novopavlovskoye direction

The units of the Vostok Brigade advanced from Velikaya Novosyolka in the direction of Burlatskoye. 

They are breaking the defense area on the approaches to Novosyolka.

Our units have become more active in the direction of Novocheretovatoye and Otradnoye.

Today the group has increased active pressure in the direction of Bogatyr, Konstantinople and Ulaklya. 

The enemy is suffering heavy losses. His defense on the outskirts of Constantinople can collapse at any moment. Our attacks have been practically unceasing throughout the day and continue now.

Ukrainian “Drone Line” – The Situation in the Zaporizhia Region

The situation in Zaporizhia Region can be considered a good example of the potential shape of the “Drone Line” – a project (https://t.me/rybar/67931) to create a line of defense from the most trained drone units. There, the AFU are not advancing, and if they try, it is unsuccessfully and with heavy losses.

▪️But FPV drones are flying across almost the entire width of the front. And over the past two months, the quantitative indicators have increased, as has the depth of the strikes. The classic targets are vehicles and forward positions.

▪️Their activity has especially increased since mid-January, when drones began to detect targets quite far from the front line. A video of an attack attempt on the Melitopol – Vasylivka highway has already spread across the internet.

▪️Looking at the map, one can see that drones are increasingly reaching a depth of up to 30 km, which indicates an increase in their tactical and technical characteristics, allowing them to strike at greater distances.

➖➖➖➖➖➖

❗️It is for this reason that the so-called Ukraine is now engaged in restructuring the armed forces, focusing on the modernization of unmanned aerial forces, as they are almost the main striking force of the AFU at the moment.

The AFU use drones to compensate for their lack of artillery, whose ammunition is now harder to find. And this increased activity in the Zaporizhia Region looks rather suspicious, especially in the Kamianka sector.

🔻But, returning to UAVs, it would be very desirable to see a similar development of this sphere on our side as well, since the enemy is developing, and in the position of a pursuer, you will always be second.

After the liberation of the Kursk village of Nikolayevo-Daryino from the Ukrainian Armed Forces, it turned out that Ukrainian militants killed almost all the men in this village, only one was saved, the Ministry of Defense reported.

The ministry says that the villagers were held hostage by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, who used them as human shields, tortured and killed them.
