🎥 Russian forces conducted a failed infiltration operation in Ternuvate, a village 15 kilometers from the front line in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, planting flags and filming drone footage to claim victory in late January before Ukrainian forces cleared the area within an hour.

🚀 A Russian sabotage group exploited bad weather to secretly enter the village, recorded multiple videos from different positions with planted flags, and spread false claims of capture through official Russian military channels, but the operation collapsed when Ukrainian Defense Forces launched a search-and-clear mission.

✅ Ukrainian forces eliminated one Russian group and captured another during the counteroffensive, with a Ukrainian soldier posting video evidence standing on a Russian flag at the village sign holding the Ukrainian flag, directly contradicting Moscow's narrative.

⚔️ Ukraine's Center for Countering Disinformation confirmed the incident on February 8, characterizing the infiltration as Russia's favorite tactic that backfired, exposing another failed Russian attempt to gain territorial control and highlighting the unreliability of Russian military claims.

📍 The operation underscores broader challenges in the Zaporizhzhia sector, where Russian forces have been actively redeploying elite airborne units to the Orikhiv direction amid reports of sustained heavy losses in the region.

🚨 Russia's economic growth slowed to around 1% in 2025, strained by heavy war spending in Ukraine, high inflation, and Western sanctions.

📉 The Central Bank raised interest rates to 16% to fight inflation from military funding, leading to declining manufacturing, weaker consumer demand, and labor shortages.

💸 War costs reached about 7.2% of GDP in 2025, with falling oil revenues widening budget deficits and forcing tax hikes like VAT from 20% to 22%.

🔮 Forecasts predict sluggish growth of 0.8% in 2026, signaling long-term economic stress and reduced capacity to sustain the conflict.

🔴 Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian issued a sweeping apology for the country's brutal crackdown on protests last month, stating "We are ashamed before the people" and acknowledging the "great sorrow" felt by citizens, though he did not directly reference the role of Iranian security forces in the bloodshed.

💔 Activists estimate that over 6,000 people, mostly peaceful protesters including children and families, were killed during the crackdown on dissent, making it one of the deadliest security force responses to protests in recent history.

⚖️ International human rights organizations including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have condemned the response, with experts stating that authorities "opened fire unlawfully" at protesters and that the regime viewed the demonstrations as an existential threat requiring lethal force.

🌍 The apology comes as Iran faces mounting international pressure, including statements from US President Donald Trump about potentially deploying additional military assets to the Middle East region.

📢 The president's statement included a pledge to assist those harmed and expressed opposition to confrontation with the people, though critics note the apology lacked direct accountability from security forces involved in the crackdown.
