🇸🇪Swedish government has procured air defense systems worth 1.2 billion kronor (112$ mln) to be donated to Ukraine. This concerns the Robot 70 and Tridon Mk2 systems, which will be procured through the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration. (Tridon Mk2 on a video).

Donald doesn't even know the difference between AfD and CDU. The U.S. is the truest example of a kakistocracy.

First outlook on the German federal elections. Germany will have a new Chancellor and also looks like good news for #Ukraine, as the pro-Russian BSW will likely not be part of the 21st Bundestag (German parliament).

Russian ‘turtle’ tank stopped by a pothole.

I wrote about this two days ago when I learned about it. Now you have confirmation that my insight was on the spot:

🇩🇪 Olaf Scholz congratulates Friedrich Merz on victory in German parliamentary elections.

This is three years ago today. A few days earlier I had said that post Cold War Europe was gone, the old, dark Europe of earlier times had returned. Now we have a US administration talking about "the root causes of the conflict"™️. We are truly in a brave new world now.

Of course, this never happened, but the anti-Ukrainian wing of MAGA believes it did because their influencers said so. Maybe everyone would be better off if they just kept declaring virtual victories online, living in a perpetual virtual matrix where they win every day

First of all, mad respect. Second of all, buckle tf up

The "Ukraine. Year 2025" forum kicked off in Kyiv, marking the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion. It will focus on strategic development plans and paths to peace. Zelensky’s speech and a closing press conference are expected. Top officials are already in attendance.

The US removed the word “security” in the latest draft of the minerals deal, refusing to even promise further military support - NYT

⚡️ We do not recognize the $500 billion debt, we are not considering it, — Zelensky.

Journalist: "If the US stops aid, could China be our backup option?" Zelensky: "I’m used to fighting until the end. I don’t want to talk about a 'Plan B'. We need to focus on not losing the US."

My latest piece → In case of an election victory, Friedrich Merz has promised to provide #Ukraine with Taurus KEPD-350 as the new German chancellor. This is an outlook on a possible delivery to Ukraine to anticipate the most important questions. deaidua.org/news/2025/02...

"Ending the war this week—I don’t know how it’s possible without our presence in meetings," – Zelensky in response to White House claims.

Russia destroyed a church in Kryvyi Rih: restoration is impossible, says the city mayor. One person was killed, 5 others injured after a ballistic missile attack. Buildings and infrastructure were damaged, recovery efforts are ongoing.

Contrary to Trump’s claims, no meeting between Russia and the U.S. is planned for February 25 in Riyadh, says Russia’s Foreign Ministry.

BTW what an indictment for the German approach over the past three years. They’ve tried to avoid any form of misalignment with the US to maintain their strategic alliance. And they’ve been dumped all the same. The German political elite was played first by the Russians and then by the Americans.

The war timeline The battle for Donbas started 3 years ago, the pressure has never stopped since, interrupted for a couple offenses by the AFU.

❗️The U.S.-Ukraine rare earth deal is "not one Zelensky would accept," CNN reports. The draft demands more than Ukraine received for defense, while offering no U.S. obligations. Meanwhile, Ukraine will start active talks on the agreement next week. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/22/e...

US mineral deal calls for Ukraine to relinquish half of its revenues from natural resources, including minerals, gas and oil, as well as earnings from ports and other infrastructure without any security guarantees in exchange - NYT www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/w...

‼️🇺🇸🇺🇦 The Ukrainian side received a new version of the agreement that turned out to be an order of magnitude tougher than the first version, - NV

According to Russian channels, Ukrainian UAVs knocked out power and halted operations at the Novovelichkovskaya oil pumping station in Russia’s Krasnodar region. The strike on Feb 20 disrupted a key hub for oil transport in Kuban, affecting supplies to the Afipsky and Ilsky refineries.

If Trump genuinely thinks he will go down in history as the greatest of all time, he’s completely delulu. And the cut off was before even his first term.

The Trump administration was pressuring Ukraine to withdraw an annual resolution condemning Russia's war, and wanted to replace it with a toned-down U.S. statement. Ukraine refused to withdraw its resolution. - Washington Post. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

Zelenskyy is not ready to accept a minerals deal with the US as Ukraine sees a "number of problematic issues" with the draft agreement - Sky News reports news.sky.com/story/zelens...

A Russian evacuation group recorded Ukrainian drones striking their equipment on the "Road of Death" near Vyshneve. After seeing this footage, the Ivan Franko Group shared their perspective, showcasing the battle from the drone operator's viewpoint.

As hurtful as it sounds, the United States is siding with Russia by demanding Ukrainian resources and threatening with action for refusal to comply. We are being robbed by the world's two largest nuclear powers. Welcome back to the 21st-century Molotov-Ribbentrop reality

Trump: Zelensky had the most beautiful cities, and they're all destroyed. Host: But it's Putin's fault, don't you agree? Trump: I'm tired of hearing it, I'll tell you this. Host: Isn't it Putin's fault? Trump: ignores

Italian defence watcher NichoConcu reports that 'many' B1 Centauro's 'wheeled tank destroyers' are indeed on their way to Ukraine. Italy has a total of 259 in service after 141 were decomissioned and delivered to Jordan previously.

Every time I think he’s reached a new low, he drops even lower. “When Zelenskiy said, oh, he wasn’t invited to a meeting, I mean, it wasn’t a priority because he did such a bad job in negotiating so far.” www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Centauro is probably one of the more useless things Italy could have pledged to Ukraine. Sure it is more cannons pointing down range but they will end up as SPG's just like the AMX-10RC.

⚡️ The first public demonstration of the "Trembita" missile-drone took place. This version is a decoy, meaning it lacks a warhead. Stated specifications include a range of up to 200 km, a 20 kg warhead, a speed of 150 m/s, and a cost of only $4,000.

The U.S. has given Europe three weeks to agree on Ukraine's surrender terms—or it will withdraw from Europe, claims member of the European Parliament Mika Aaltola. "Trump prioritizes Russia’s security concerns now and in the future. Let them own their mess. We have three weeks to grow up."
