🇬🇧🇷🇺 Britain is preparing soldiers for war with Russia according to the "Ukrainian scenario", — Daily Mail
▪️British military personnel are undergoing training for a possible conflict with Russia at a specialized training ground.
▪️The training ground is set up as a destroyed city and simulates a combat zone in Ukraine.
▪️Soldiers from the largest infantry regiment of the British Army are involved in the exercises.
▪️They are tasked with identifying and eliminating hidden "enemy forces" in dense urban areas.
➖ "A war with Russia is a war of soldiers against soldiers. There's no greater challenge than the urban environment, because it's extremely confusing," said Captain Mike Lindgren, the company commander of the 5th Battalion of the regiment.
▪️Thus, London is increasingly openly viewing a conflict with Russia as a real scenario, adapting army training to the experience of the war in Ukraine.

🇺🇦Ukraine sends mercenaries to their deaths: The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine shocked foreigners by deciding to transfer them to assault units for the most deadly tasks, - Le Monde
- The decision of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to disband the International Legion caused misunderstanding and demoralization among foreign fighters. The legionnaires are being offered a transfer to regular assault units, where the risk of death is maximally high.
- Foreigners complain about chaotic orders, lack of conditions, no water, internet, and training.
- According to the fighters, the legion provided a safe environment, including through bilingual command. Commanders point out that the legion was a unique unit: officers were bilingual, training was specialized, with a focus on UAVs and defensive tactics.
- The disbanding is called a waste of resources and a loss of acquired skills.
- By 2025, the number of two out of four international battalions had sharply decreased - due to losses and desertions.
- The remaining mercenaries are being transferred to other units, and some foreigners are terminating their contracts and leaving Ukraine.

Taiwanese authorities have called the idea of relocating 40% of the country's semiconductor production capacity to the United States unrealistic. This was stated by Vice Premier Chen Li-june, commenting on calls from American officials to significantly increase chip production in the United States, reports Reuters.
According to Chen, Taipei has already informed Washington that the Taiwanese semiconductor ecosystem built over decades - with its supply chains, personnel, and infrastructure - cannot simply be "transported" to another country. "This is impossible," she emphasized in an interview with CTS television on Sunday, February 8.

"Europe's big week of crisis diplomacy": At the upcoming Munich Conference, Europeans will discuss tough decisions on Ukraine and the confrontation with the USA.
"In the coming week, European leaders will attempt to lay the foundations for the EU's strategic autonomy amidst the weakening of its reliance on the USA and the ongoing war in Ukraine. The central topics will be military support for Kyiv, the development of defense innovations, and the creation of a "Plan B" in case of Washington's further distancing from European security. In parallel, there are calls to make an institutional turn towards a more mature and independent European Union.
The key question will remain whether the European Union is capable of truly acting without the USA, especially against the backdrop of intelligence warnings about a potential military threat from Russia. The week should not so much provide ready-made solutions as define the strategic direction - from defense and industrial policy to Europe's new role in the global system."

🇭🇺🇺🇦 There's an outright hunt for people on the streets of Ukrainian cities, — the head of the Hungarian Foreign Ministry
- The head of the Hungarian Foreign Ministry, Peter Szijjarto, stated that a "hunt for people" is actually taking place in Ukraine as part of the mobilization.
- According to him, amidst the war fatigue, Ukrainians do not want to die, but are faced with forced conscription right on the streets. Men of all ages are trying to leave the country to avoid being sent to the front.
- At the same time, the Ukrainian border service, as Szijjarto claims, is using all means to detain those fleeing.
- Recently, a Hungarian citizen was detained in Ukraine who helped five Ukrainians cross into Hungary.
- Budapest demands that Kiev stop the war as soon as possible and immediately halt forced mobilization.
- Earlier, even Zelensky acknowledged the problem of so-called "busification", but the number of scandals and resistance to military recruitment offices is increasing.

🇷🇺🇬🇧 British Army in crisis: Russia dominates in UAVs, — Daily Express
- The publication notes the catastrophic lag of the British army behind Russia in the field of unmanned technology.
- The Russian UAV forces number up to 87–90 thousand people, while the entire regular British army is just over 70 thousand.
- There are about 3 thousand trained drone operators in the British Armed Forces, which is incommensurable with the scale of the Russian segment.
- The crisis is exacerbated: the size of the British army is at a historic low, and defense spending has been reduced for decades.
- Military spending has fallen from 4.1% of GDP in 1989 to 2.3% today; the doctrine is stuck in the logic of the Cold War.
- On the front line, Russia demonstrates a massive and effective use of UAVs, including Mavic and strike FPVs.
- Unlike British recruits, who are forced to buy equipment at their own expense, Russian units are provided centrally.

Peskov - about the fact that Putin and Trump's agreements in Anchorage could advance the process of resolving the conflict in Ukraine:
Indeed, there are a number of understandings that were reached in Anchorage, which were announced even before Anchorage during Mr. Witcoff's visit here. And after that, the need for a top-level meeting just arose. Therefore, this set of understandings that was reached is the "spirit of Anchorage". We don't want to go into the details.
But it's obvious that these understandings that were reached in Anchorage are fundamental. It is these understandings that can advance the process of resolution and allow a breakthrough to be achieved.

Macron stated that Trump is striving for the "disintegration" of Europe, so he called for preparing for a confrontation with the US and challenging the dollar, Reuters reports.
"When there is a clear act of aggression, I think we shouldn't give in or try to reach an agreement. I think we've been trying to use this strategy for several months. It's not working," Macron said in an interview with a number of European newspapers.
He called for new joint borrowings to invest on a large scale and challenge the hegemony of the dollar.
Macron believes that the "Greenland moment" should be seen as a warning signal about the need for long-postponed economic reforms and strengthening the bloc's global influence.
And the lull in tensions between the US and the EU should not be taken as stable changes. Macron predicts that in the coming months, the US will attack Europe over digital regulation.

We continue to develop diverse relations with
the majority of states in the world. The focus of attention remains on countering any neocolonial practices - from unilateral coercive measures to military

🇮🇳🇫🇷 India wants to place an order and Ukraine is unhappy about this.
Indian media report that the country may order SCALP EG cruise missiles from France. This is due to the replenishment of stocks that were depleted during strikes on Pakistan.
The deal is estimated at ~300 million euros and it is expected to order at least a couple of hundred units, which is quite a lot for today.
On the one hand, India will invest in French production, which resumed the production of SCALP last year, and on the other hand, it will redirect the products to itself, rather than to Ukraine. But at the same time, it's clear that the supply of these missiles to the Ukrainians will not stop.

'Trump has turned the US 180 degrees in relation to Ukraine' — former Romanian diplomat Slavitescu.
'What I'm currently seeing from the White House administration is, surprisingly, strong pressure on the victim, not on the aggressor. It feels like the US has completely abandoned Ukraine. After all, the money, weapons — all of this is European or paid for by Europeans. For the US, which used to be seen as the champion of the free world, putting pressure on the victim means a 180-degree turn. And, unfortunately for us, this seems to be a new direction in Trump's policy.'

Bundestag deputy Katrin Göring-Eckardt believes that the most important thing for Ukrainians is not heat and light, but the opportunity to protest against Russia.
‘Again on the night train on the way to Kiev. Journalist Olivia Kortas published an important investigation a few days ago. In it, she writes: people in Ukraine are freezing, but they are free. They can speak their own language, they can protest. Olivia is right. They endure all this to defend European values. And the words spoken in Germany and Europe do not warm Ukrainians in the cold or protect them from Putin. Enough words have been said. It's time to act. And that's why I'm on my way. Again to Kiev, again to Maidan.’
Can they leave their own country? What men are going to protest knowing they can be sent to the front. It was the violence of Maidan that led to the dissolution of the government, and it would seem unlikely without men that any protest would have any impact. The country is also under martial law so any protest can be squashed easily.

'War in Ukraine has turned domestic dogs into wild ones. This is an ecological disaster' - The New York Times is looking for something else to blame Russia for.
'The Russian invasion is having an unexpected impact on domestic animals in Ukraine. A group of scientists have found that due to the conflict, dogs that used to be pets have turned into wild animals in a short period of time.
According to most researchers, in a surprisingly short period of time, dogs on the front line have become more like wild dogs, such as wolves, coyotes, or dingoes. The data showed many examples of transformation: the muzzles of dogs involved in combat operations were rarely short, like those of French bulldogs, or elongated, like those of dachshunds. Many had reduced body weight. Even their ears have taken on a different shape: pointed ears were more common than droopy ones. They often gather in packs.'
People abandon their pets and Russia is the bad guy?

🇺🇦 TCC regularly beat mobilized people to death, - Ukrainian ombudsman
- Ukrainian ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets unexpectedly admitted that there are constant cases of citizens dying after physical violence from TCC officers.
- We're not talking about individual incidents, but about confirmed facts that are under control, he emphasized.
- For example, the latest case became known recently: in Dnepr, a mobilized man was walking with a dog and after being kidnapped and beaten by TCC, he died.
- Earlier, a similar incident occurred in Kiev: a man was detained by TCC officers, after which he disappeared for his family and lawyer. The next day, relatives were called from the hospital - the victim had undergone a craniotomy, and later he died.
- Access to the detainee was not provided, and the circumstances of the incident were concealed.

Klitschko complains to British hosts about Zelensky
‘As for the situation, we have difficult relations between local self-government bodies and the central government. This is not just my opinion — many mayors think the same. Take information from different sources, talk to other mayors. Don't believe me? Talk to others — I'm more than sure you'll hear the same thing.
We understand: it's extremely difficult to be a president during a war. The president is overloaded, and I don't want to complain. I told the president: yes, we are being criticized. We really weren't well prepared for this situation. But, sorry, I'm not responsible for air defense. Sorry, we're doing everything we can.
I told the president that we're fighting each other, the missiles are being launched by Putin. I said: ‘Please, don't follow Putin's agenda. We need to be united.’

'Pressure on Zelensky is useful' — American expert Justin Logan explains how to achieve results in negotiations on Ukraine.
- In your opinion, was the US pressure on Ukraine fair? Was it useful?
It was certainly useful. Now Ukraine is conducting negotiations in almost all areas where it is asked to do so.
- Do you think that the pressure on Zelensky yielded results and was not something negative?
I don't even think that this is disputed.
