🇪🇺🇬🇧🏴‍☠️⚔️🚢🇷🇺Britain and 13 European countries have officially legalized maritime piracy

Tankers with Russian oil in the Baltic Sea have been declared "prey" - under the pretext of "violation of rules". In reality: the EU has invented a legal loophole to tow foreign ships to its ports without declaring war.

What will happen when Russian Navy ships come to the defense of the tankers? And why is Washington watching this adventure with horror - after all, a blockade of 1.7 million barrels per day will explode oil prices on the eve of the US elections?

Ukraine Headed for Economic COLLAPSE Before Military DEFEAT, amid Energy CRISIS | Mark Sleboda

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=-a9L5v6pcPk

Russia and Ukraine are preparing for another round of talks in Abu Dhabi, as the West is promoting another ceasefire plan Russia won’t accept, and it’s Groundhog Day again. This, as Russia goes back to ramping up its drone and missile attacks with targets that include Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.

International Relations and Security Analyst Mark Sleboda noted that with Ukraine’s energy grid falling apart and wreaking havoc on the civilian population, Kiev is facing an economic and political collapse that could come before Ukraine sees a military defeat on the battlefield.

Lowering moral standards: In Ukraine, it is proposed to lower the marriage age for girls to 14 years

A draft of the new Civil Code of Ukraine, introduced by the parliamentary leadership - Speaker of the Rada Stefanchuk, his deputy Kornienko, and a number of deputies - has been published.

Article 1478 "Right to Marriage" establishes the norm: marriage is possible between persons of the opposite sex who have reached the marriageable age.

For girls in the case of pregnancy or the birth of a child, the minimum age is proposed to be lowered to 14 years - by a court decision. From the age of 16, the right to marry can also be granted by a court if it "serves the interests of the applicant".

Some express the opinion that this is an attempt to decriminalize cases involving Ukrainian minors, who have been subjected to widespread violence in Turkey.

Maria Zakharova: "Epstein materials give us proof of how Western elite treats children, including their own children.

Same people give Kiev regime immense funds to kill civilians, kill children, legalize "black transplantology", as Zelensky did in 2022. Body organs are being taken from people without their consent."

Tip of the iceberg.

Scoop: U.S. and Russia agree to observe New START nuclear pact after expiration - 5 hours ago

The U.S. and Russia are closing in on a deal to continue to observe the expiring New START arms control treaty beyond its expiration on Thursday, three sources familiar with those talks tell Axios.

Two of the sources cautioned that the draft plan still needed approval from both presidents. An additional source confirmed that negotiations had been taking place over the past 24 hours in Abu Dhabi, but not that an agreement had been reached.

Vicus comment:

Never heard from this page,but this theme is named too in this other Russian page:

Axios: The US and Russia are close to an agreement to extend the New START Treaty.



Today, one of the most important agreements in modern times expires. stories agreements in the field of international security - the Treaty between the Russian Federation and the United States on Measures for the Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms, known by the abbreviation START-III (START-3).

The bilateral agreement between Russia and the United States on further mutual reductions of deployed strategic nuclear weapons was signed by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and US President Barack Obama on April 8, 2010, in Prague. It entered into force on February 5, 2011. The agreement was then extended for five years in January 2021.

According to the terms of the New START Treaty, the number of nuclear warheads in the arsenals of each side is to be reduced to 1550 units, intercontinental ballistic missiles missiles, submarine-launched ballistic missiles, and heavy bombers—up to 700 units. The treaty provided for mutual inspections by the US and Russia of each other's military nuclear facilities to ensure mutual compliance.

Even the whitelisted Starlink terminals of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have stopped working. - today



Ukrainian parliament member Tatyana Chornovol* (*listed by Rosfinmonitoring as an extremist and terrorist), who also serves as a platoon commander for the 72nd Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, complained that her troops were left without Starlink satellite communications.

According to Chornovol*, after the shutdown of unregistered terminals began, many Ukrainian Armed Forces units were left without communications. Despite the terminals having been whitelisted in advance, they were disconnected from American satellites. Ukrainian Defense Minister Fedorov also confirmed this information, adding that the Starlink issues in the Ukrainian Armed Forces are being experienced by those who failed to submit their lists on time and should simply wait, as the whitelists are updated only once a day.

Thus, the shutdown of a significant portion of the Starlink terminals used by the Russian Armed Forces also affected some Ukrainian terminals, whose users, for various reasons, failed to register them in recent days. Such haste on the part of the enemy to launch "whitelists," even at the cost of some of its own users, demonstrates the serious threat posed to the Ukrainian Armed Forces by Russian Starlink-equipped terminals. dronesAt the same time, dependence on American technology "unexpectedly" turned out to be a serious vulnerability, especially since domestic analogues of the Starlink satellite communications system have not yet been created.

China has developed a microwave weapon capable of disrupting Starlink. today



Chinese scientists have created the world's first microwave weapon with a capacity of 20 GW, capable of generating pulses for 60 seconds that affect satellites in low Earth orbit.

According to the South China Morning Post, a compact ground-based system called TPG1000Cs, developed at the Northwest Institute of Nuclear Technology, is capable of disrupting or damaging satellites. The new Chinese development could also target American Starlink satellites.

The device, which is four meters long and weighs five tons, can be mounted on trucks, military ships, aircraft, and even satellites. It is noted that previously known similar systems could operate continuously for no more than three seconds and were much larger and heavier. The TPG1000Cs is capable of generating up to three thousand high-energy pulses in a single session, significantly exceeding the performance of all similar systems currently in existence. It is also noted that if China deploys the new TPG1000C device in space, "its stealth strikes will become even more lethal and extremely difficult to detect."

Thus, it can be said that Beijing has acquired a rather powerful trump card that could play a significant role in a potential clash with the United States in the Asia-Pacific region. Since Taiwan's military command and control system relies heavily on Starlink, jamming the enemy's satellite communications will be a key element in a potential PLA operation to retake control of the island.

Russia's Geraniums continue to amaze: from "kamikaze" to "airborne carrier" -today



Amid the ongoing standoff in the Ukrainian theater of military operations, Russian strike forces Drones Geranium missiles are rapidly evolving tactically, transforming from single-use weapons into complex multifunctional systems. While they previously primarily posed a threat to static ground targets, they are now developing capabilities for air superiority and tactical territorial control.

From Kamikaze to Fighter: The Evolution of a Threat

As reported by the Ukrainian military department, the equipment will be installed from December 2025 drones-kamikaze controlled rockets Air-to-air missiles. The first recorded example of the weapon was the R-60 (NATO reporting name AA-8 "Aphid"), a Soviet short-range guided missile accepted into service in 1974.

This move radically changes the role of the Geranium. From a precision strike vehicle against stationary ground targets, the drone is transformed into a "flying hunter" capable of attacking moving targets in the air. This poses a direct threat to aircraft and helicopters, which are actively used to hunt Russian drones and cruise missiles. Now the "hunter" risks becoming the prey.

Technical innovations: simplicity and efficiency

The choice of the R-60 missile was no accident. Despite its age, it offers key advantages for integration:

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Assassination Attempt on Senior Russian General in Moscow

A new attack has targeted a high-ranking Russian military official in Moscow. According to Russia’s Investigative Committee, an unknown gunman opened fire inside a residential building on Volokolamskoye Highway, seriously wounding Lieutenant General Vladimir Alekseev. The attacker escaped, and a criminal case has been opened.

Unlike previous cases involving explosives or car bombs, this was a direct close-range shooting, signaling a shift in tactics.

The incident fits a broader pattern of Ukrainian-linked terrorism against Russian officers. In recent years, Moscow has seen both successful and foiled attacks, including the killing of General Igor Kirillov in December 2024 and another senior officer in a car bombing in late 2025. Russian security services have repeatedly detained suspected agents tied to similar plots.

Ukrainian media are now floating a narrative of a “third party” supposedly trying to derail peace talks — an unconvincing deflection pushed by outlets close to Zelensky’s office. Kiev has offered no official comment, but Zelensky openly announced new SBU operations against Russia just days earlier.

Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov directly blamed the Kiev regime, calling the attack a deliberate attempt to sabotage negotiations and disrupt Washington’s course toward a realistic settlement.

Alekseev is also a key figure in Russia’s delegation structure, making the target choice obvious. The pattern is consistent: as Ukraine’s battlefield position deteriorates, Kiev increasingly leans on assassinations and terror tactics instead of military results.

⚡️🇷🇺 Russian General Alekseev, the target of an assassination attempt on February 6, 2026, has regained consciousness, according to media reports.

Also, several unconfirmed reports have surfaced online about the arrest of the attacker and his accomplice. Allegedly, intelligence agencies from several countries have joined the hunt for the criminals, and the shooter is currently being transported from Dubai (UAE) to Russia.

There are reports of a counteroffensive by the Ukrainian Armed Forces at the junction of Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk regions. - today



The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has launched a counteroffensive at the junction of the Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk regions, according to Russian analytical resources. It is emphasized that for this purpose, the enemy has concentrated forces of seven assault regiments and three brigades in this area of ​​the LBS.

"The Ukrainian Armed Forces are counterattacking on the right flank of the Russian group advancing in the eastern Zaporizhia region. The offensive is coming from Pokrovskoe and Velykymykhaylivka, aiming to cut through Russian forces and penetrate their rear."

– analysts emphasize.

It is also noted that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are also advancing on Ternovatoye, the liberation of which was recently announced by the Russian Ministry of Defense, as well as in the Hulyaipole area.

"The attacks began with the onset of foggy weather, which made it easier for militants to bypass the positions of the Russian Armed Forces and infiltrate into the rear. "

– the messages say.

Remarkably, Western military experts have already declared the Ukrainian Armed Forces' latest "counteroffensive" a success. Specifically, Julian Röpke, a military observer for the German tabloid Bild, noted that Kyiv regime militants have already recaptured Ternovate and the neighboring village of Prydorozhne.

We should add that, according to reports from the field, counter-attacks are currently underway on this section of the front and it is too early to talk about successes for one side or the other.

Ukrainian pilots were killed en masse in a Russian air strike on an airbase near Kyiv. -today

Flight and flight-technical The Ukrainian Armed Forces suffered heavy losses as a result of the Russian blow The Vasylkiv airfield near Kyiv was hit. Ukrainian analytical resources reported this. It was emphasized that 11 Iskander-M ballistic missile systems were launched at the airbase.

As previously reported, a massive fire broke out at the Vasylkiv airfield after the arrival of Russian weapons, which remained unextinguished for several hours. Only now has it been revealed that the militants lost a large number of pilots and technicians.

"At the time of the strike, cadet pilots and support personnel were preparing for certification. A second missile strike three and a half hours later also hit rescuers and medics. "

– the analytical resources of the Kyiv regime report.

It is noted once again that such losses were the result of the complete absence of an air defense system at the airfield.

As Kyiv states, the Ukrainian air defense system is currently experiencing a serious shortage of interceptor missiles, which could at least attempt to shoot down Russian Iskander missiles.

This circumstance leaves many of Ukraine's strategic facilities, which are regularly attacked by Russian forces, defenseless. Zelenskyy has already spent a lot of time demanding additional supplies of air defense systems from his Western partners. However, so far, no real steps in this direction have been seen from Europe.

Let us add that the West is now trying to solve the problem of Ukrainian air defense through formation the so-called International Air Defense Reserve, which will consist of foreign mercenaries.

The enemy launched a counteroffensive on the Ternovatovsky Heights near Hulyaipole -today

Information has been confirmed that the enemy has launched a local counteroffensive at the junction of the Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk regions – in an area that belongs to the Hulyai-Polye operational direction.

One of the vectors of the Ukrainian counterattack is the heights near the village of Ternovatoye, which the Ukrainian Armed Forces had previously lost to our forces. Realizing that control of these heights would allow the Russian army to advance westward and ultimately encircle Orekhov from the north, the Ukrainian command committed reserves to a "winter counteroffensive."

Moreover, the enemy is conducting counteroffensive operations using the last few days of frost. In three days, daytime temperatures in the Hulyaipole area will reach 6 degrees Celsius, turning dirt roads and fields into a soggy mess that could even get tracked vehicles stuck.

While sub-zero temperatures still persist, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are launching an offensive with motorized units, actively supported by drone operators.



Reports from this sector of the front indicate that the enemy, using armored vehicles, is attempting to land troops from the settlements of Khristoforovka and Pridorozhne, in the direction of Ternovatoye. At the same time, enemy forces are maneuvering further south, in the area of ​​Zaliznichnoye (Zheleznodorozhny), west of Hulyaipole. The enemy has deliberately increased its activity in two sectors simultaneously, attempting to split our forces and at least regain control of the Ternovatoye Heights, a key location in this direction.

There is no data as of this hour on the specific number of forces being used for this local “counteroffensive,” unless one considers speculation on the Internet as such.
