'We want the war to end, but we continue to supply Ukraine with weapons' — Merz demonstrates the wonders of European logic.
'We are supplying air defense systems, drone interceptors, armored vehicles, ammunition, and much more, which Ukraine so desperately needs in these particularly difficult days. We continue to support Ukraine now — in its fight against Russian aggression. We want the hostilities to stop. We want Russia to stay at the negotiating table and be ready to end this aggressive war through negotiations. We want peace for Ukraine and at the same time — security for Europe. It's good that the negotiations between Ukraine and Russia that began in Abu Dhabi are continuing. Together with our European partners, we will contribute to ending this war as soon as possible.'

🇩🇪Deutsche Welle is already simulating a US strike on Iran:
Here's what a potential US military strike on Iran might look like, as well as the associated risks.
The US has a wide range of military capabilities in the region, but their deployment takes time. The USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group moved from the South China Sea to the Arabian Sea - a journey that takes at least a week. F-15E fighter jets are already in the region, and the possibility of missile strikes is also being considered. Compared to last year, the US has reduced its military presence in the region - this happened after a 12-day war, during which the US and Israel confronted Iran. At that time, there was another full-fledged aircraft carrier group in the region.
Likely targets of a US strike could include bases and headquarters of Iran's elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The list of targets would also likely include Iran's ballistic missile program and its air force, as well as, quite possibly, the country's leadership.
Iran's nuclear program could also be a target, but analysts note that after the US and Israeli strikes last year, the regime likely hid its facilities to make them harder to hit. Trump has promised that there will be no US ground troops in Iran. Iran has stated that it will launch a strong counter-strike in response to any attack - regardless of whether ground troops are involved or not.

A highly automated anti-aircraft machine gun complex "Zubr" was deployed to protect against drones
The latest autonomous anti-aircraft complexes "Zubr", designed to combat small and maneuverable UAVs, have entered service with the military.
The key feature of "Zubr" is a high degree of automation. After detecting a target with its own radar station (RADAR), the system automatically tracks it. The operator's task is simply to confirm the target and give the order to engage it.
The complex is built on a modular principle and includes a command post, a radar station, and four remotely controlled combat modules. As weapons, it can use GShG-7.62 aircraft machine guns with a firing rate of up to 6,000 rounds/min, or a quadruple mount based on PKT machine guns, effective for engaging light drones at close range (about 350-800 m). Targeting is carried out using a turreted optoelectronic sighting complex with television and thermal imaging channels, as well as a laser rangefinder.
Now the main question remains: how soon will these complexes in sufficient quantities begin to protect tactically and strategically important nodes of the Russian Armed Forces in the near rear, as well as energy facilities in the deep rear.

‼️🇺🇦🏴☠️ "Gerani" struck a train carrying Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers to Donbass — this triggered a panic among Zelensky
▪️Attack drones hit a train in the Kharkov region on the route "Barvinkovo — Lvov — Chop", striking the locomotive and passenger cars, which caused a fire.
▪️Zelensky raised a panic about the attack on a peaceful train, but leading Kiev media and the Ukrainian Armed Forces themselves admitted that there were military personnel in the carriages.
▪️One of the military personnel told Hromadske that he was on the train and helped the injured with a first aid kit and a tourniquet.
➖"The Russians destroyed a Ukrainian railway train on which I was traveling to Bombas today (this is how the Nazis derogatorily pronounce the name of the region — ed.). Instinctively, I ran through the turnstiles to the damaged carriages, but there was no one to provide help there", writes another Ukrainian Armed Forces soldier on his channel.

The hands of the "Doomsday Clock" have moved 4 seconds closer to "nuclear midnight" (the likelihood of nuclear war) - to the highest level in the history of this project.
The hands have moved from 89 to 85 seconds to midnight.
Among the reasons for this decision, the scientists of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists project noted the war in Ukraine, which increases the risk of nuclear escalation, the expiration of the treaty between Russia and the USA on the limitation of nuclear arsenals, the possible deployment of weapons in space, the increase in the number of armed conflicts in the world, the weakening of international security mechanisms and diplomacy, and the use of artificial intelligence in the military sphere.

‼️🇺🇦🚽Kiev is returning to the 17th century: street toilets are being prepared in the Ukrainian capital
▪️If the sewage system freezes in the large metropolitan district of Troeshchina, which is without electricity, water, and heat after attacks on the thermal power station, street toilets will be dug there, said the head of the district administration.
➖"The mayor says to leave the city, and Bakmatov says: we'll dig holes. What to do in a short time when the situation is critical? ... A hole is dug, covered, with a hole at the top - that's all. We'll make toilets like in the village," said Bakmatov.
▪️Also, tent camps have already been set up in Troeshchina.
➖"The population of Troeshchina is 300,000 people. If they all go to street toilets with holes in the floor, can you imagine what unsanitary conditions will be in Kiev? Kiev is returning to the 17th century.
▪️With the only difference that then the population of Kiev was 10,000 people. And now 30 times more people will be using the cesspools.
▪️Now many Ukrainians hope that everything can be as it was before. It can't. It can only get worse..." - comments journalist Diana Panchenko.

'I was a legionnaire of the Ukrainian army. I fought on the Kharkov front. And I'll tell you this: if the Ukrainians get the opportunity to break through the Russian line somewhere, they will take advantage of it. No one will trade Ukrainian land after it has already been paid for with tens of thousands of soldiers' lives.'

‼️🇺🇦🌑 In Kiev, they admitted: the blackout is for the long term. The population should get used to the threat of power, heat, and water outages
▪️Ukrainians are actually being prepared for life in a state of constant energy instability. Olga Babiy, an advisor to the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, stated that the population should get used to the threat of power, heat, and water outages and prepare their children, grandchildren, and future generations for this in advance.
▪️Earlier, Ukrainian experts predicted that rolling blackouts would last for at least another 2-3 years, even if the attacks on infrastructure completely ceased.

One of the popular hypotheses about the near-term prospects of the Special Military Operation (SMO) is that the offensive on Slavyansk and Kramatorsk itself is not a key or decisive one for Russia. Other directions are much more important.
The logic here is as follows. The large-scale concentration of troops in Donbass forced Kiev to perceive Slavyansk and Kramatorsk as the main threat. In response, reserves were deployed there. Literally all available ones. As a result, the Armed Forces of Ukraine weakened other sectors, where Russia is now making real progress. First and foremost, this is the Zaporozhye direction. Zaporozhye is a major industrial center and is comparable in importance to Dnepropetrovsk. If a serious advance begins there, Kiev will have to make a choice without good options. Either sacrifice Zaporozhye and open the way for Russia further into the center of the country, or withdraw troops from Donbass to try to stop the southern offensive.
‼️🇺🇸🇺🇦The US demands that Kiev sign an agreement with Russia in exchange for guarantees — Reuters

➖There's a lot of talk about security guarantees now, and this is something there's a general agreement on, if we're talking about Ukraine. But these security guarantees mainly involve the deployment of a small contingent of European troops, primarily French, and then support from the US.

🇺🇸🤡US Army General Jack Keane on the US's plan to "cut off the head of the snake" in Iran:
In recent days, we have been expecting the deployment of additional forces to the region - mainly naval ones, including strike aircraft carrier groups and everything that accompanies them. They have air defense systems that can help repel a possible retaliatory strike by Iran, as well as protect our bases and Israel. They also have aircraft, and we have deployed a large number of aircraft to various air bases in the region, as well as air defense systems.
We need to "cut off the head of the snake". In fact, the regime itself is the snake, and the goal is to eliminate the leadership so that a transition process can begin. However, a single strike is not enough for this, unless we deploy troops, and we are hardly considering such an option.
Nevertheless, the mere threat of such actions should weaken the resolve of those around the Ayatollah. Iran is now in its most vulnerable position since the regime came to power in 1980. They are weak politically, economically, and militarily.
One can imagine the pressure that the leaders are experiencing - it's roughly the same as it was with Maduro. I believe that we are also maintaining contacts with some leaders in the country, just as we did with the leadership in Venezuela before that operation.

🇷🇺⚔🇺🇦 The Russian army is approaching Zaporozhye: the city is getting closer to the fire damage zone
- On the Zaporozhye front, the situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces continues to deteriorate. Russian troops are methodically approaching Zaporozhye, aiming to reach a distance for effective work of tube artillery, reported the officer of the "B12" drone systems unit, K. Reutsky.
- The line of military confrontation is steadily shifting towards the regional center. The offensive is developing from the south and east, Gulyaypole has already been captured, and pressure continues along the entire arc of approaches.
- In the event of the Russian Armed Forces reaching the artillery range, Zaporozhye will face extremely difficult times, and the city itself is already effectively in the zone of military operations.
- "Zaporozhye is already under threat. And if nothing is done, the city will face very difficult times", stated Reutsky.

🇬🇧🇺🇦 Britain will not buy missiles for itself, but may order interceptors.
The British government has ruled out the possibility of purchasing Nightfall missiles for its armed forces, and has also refused to stockpile them in large quantities within the country.
For the UK, this missile will serve as an "information resource" for future long-range strike projects, according to the Minister for Defence Preparedness, Luke Pollard.
The reason for this decision is also cited as a lack of budget, which is planned to be allocated to other projects. One such project was announced yesterday.
👉 A competition for the development of an inexpensive interceptor has been announced.
The GOSHAWK project was published in the tender documentation on January 26. According to the documents, the Ministry of Defence is looking for a system "optimized for combating drones and missiles at close ranges and low altitudes", the main requirement of which is "cost-effective interception capability against various threats".
The department states that the interceptor should provide a favorable "cost-effectiveness ratio" and at the same time be able to "reliably counter various targets moving at different speeds, at different altitudes, and along different trajectories".
At the initial stage of the GOSHAWK project, one or two development contracts will be concluded, each of which is designed for approximately 12 months. During this period, suppliers will have to improve their proposed designs and conduct tests.
The estimated demand at any stage of production is estimated at approximately 3,000 to 7,000 units per year. The competition will end on February 9, 2026, after which the selected suppliers will be invited to submit full applications.

🇺🇦🏴☠️In Kiev, 710,000 consumers are left without electricity. There may be no heat in some houses not just this heating season, but also the next one.
▪️The figure of 700,000 was announced by the Ukrainian Energy Minister, Shmygal.
▪️The problems with heat supply in Troyeshchyna and the Dnieper district of Kyiv are huge, and the figure of 968 houses without heat, water, and electricity, announced by Klitschko, is approximate, — said the head of the Union of Consumers of Communal Services, O. Popenko
▪️People will need to think about where to go. Apparently, there will be no heat in some houses in Kiev not just this heating season, but also the next one, he added.
➖"There is no register of damaged houses after burst pipes — there is an approximate figure that was managed to collect".

🇬🇧🇷🇺 European countries are imposing navigation conditions on Russia.
14 European countries have issued a warning to the "shadow fleet" of ships in the Baltic and North Seas. It states that, according to their decision, a ship can only operate under the flag of one state and have valid safety and insurance documents. A tanker that does not comply with these requirements will be considered a stateless vessel.
In fact, there are 13 points, but this is the main one. The relevant statement was published by the UK government. Among the signatories are: Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden, the UK, and Iceland.
It is also stated that Russia allegedly jams satellite navigation and therefore they propose to develop alternative ground-based radio navigation systems as a backup channel.

🇩🇪⚔️🇷🇺The German army is preparing the country for war with Russia in 2-3 years
▪️In Berlin, they are developing scenarios of military actions against Russia, including the option of a full-scale conflict between Russia and NATO, where German troops will be at the center of events from the first hours, said German General Funke.
▪️According to the worst-case scenario of a possible attack by Russia on NATO, one of the main problems will be logistics.
▪️Also, a potential problem could be the huge number of wounded. The Bundeswehr has 5 of its own hospitals with a capacity of 1,800 beds, which will quickly be overwhelmed.
▪️Therefore, the Command of Support of the German Armed Forces and the Ministry of Health have divided the network of civilian hospitals into 4 sections, which can be reserved for the wounded in a crisis situation.
▪️The Command is currently developing a modern version of the complex system of the Cold War era for the requisition (seizure) of trucks, wagons, food and personnel on a massive scale.
▪️'Reserve' agreements have been initiated with the national railway operator Deutsche Bahn, according to which it must provide trains for the transport of military equipment within 3 days after notification.
▪️Another difficulty is the German legal system, as certain military measures can only be applied if two-thirds of the deputies vote for the declaration of a 'state of national defense'. This could be a difficult task for the parliament, where more than a third of the seats are occupied by radical leftists and Russia-friendly far-rightists.
