According to Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets, over 1.6 million Ukrainian children remain in the temporarily occupied territories.

Since the start of the full-scale invasion, 2,000 children abducted by Russia have been successfully returned to Ukraine. Specifically, 83 children returned home with the assistance of Qatar, and 19 through the mediation of Melania Trump.

Smirnov admitted to completely fabricating the conspiracy that became central to the GOP's effort to impeach Joe Biden. Days later, the Russian asset pleaded guilty to four felony charges and was sentenced to six years in prison. After a few months, he just mysteriously disappeared.

Zelensky hinting that, once again, the US might be delaying the supply of anti air missiles to Ukraine, so as to help Russia.

Notable message from President Zelensky. The USA is clearly putting pressure on Ukraine to hand over more of its land to dictatorial Russia.

Good to see the Ukrainian pushback--but the USA should hang its head in shame.

🇺🇦💡 For the first time in a long time, Kyiv is almost completely powered — 95% of the capital without outages this evening

Kaja Kallas:
The greatest threat Russia presents right now is that it gains more at the negotiation table than it has achieved on the battlefield
Russia is no superpower.After more than a decade of conflict,including 4yrs of full-scale war in Ukraine,Russia has barely advanced beyond the 2014 lines

Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann # X.com @MAStrackZi • Translated from German by Grok Marco Rubio's speech was a poisoned declaration of love. There was absolutely nothing reassuring about this speech. Rubio may have chosen a different tone from US Vice President J. D. Vance, but not a different content, and he conjured up a world that is not ours. The collective relief that was expressed in the great applause for the speech is an illusion. The inappropriate as well as naive standing ovations show that a large part of those who should know better still have not understood what hour has struck for Europe.

AGREE.

The Trump regime is holding press conferences to announce the quiet parts out loud now (often meant for an audience of one).

🇩🇰🇺🇦 Denmark’s PM Mette Frederiksen:

Our problem in Ukraine is still that there are red lines when it comes to the weapons they can use to win this war.

And you cannot win a war with one hand tied on your back. We need to give them weapons so they can strike into Russia.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, we’ll introduce the International Olympic Committee (IOC). It’s mostly known for organizing sporting events, and for being supposed to foster the Olympic ideal while actually submitting to dictators.

Rubio just made a speech to the European defense community in Munich that did not mention Ukraine. Or democracy. Or US business deals with Russia. Or the administration's plans to support the European far right. But there were lots of nice words about our common civilization.

In short, we cannot let Ukraine fall. Excellent thread.

Greetings from Kyiv and
a rare moment when lights are shining from everywhere.
As it should be.
Generators are resting.

Friday evening.

Sometimes I can’t even imagine how different our lives are – yours and mine.
Perhaps I’ve already forgotten.

Many European traitors and idiots are about to get a lot of money

"It isn’t really clear what the scope of “nationalizing” the vote means, but Trump let everyone know that at the very least, it should include allowing Republican officials to “take over” voting"

This is a very important article
Critical context about what Trump is really up to with elections

Anyone else sensing a pattern here?

The launch of six Flamingo cruise missiles on the Russian ammunition arsenal in Volgograd region.

Russia launches its missiles on Ukraine civilians.
Ukrainian launches our missiles on Russian military infrastructure to keep our people safer.

White House abandoning Ukraine and parroting Putin’s demands for territorial concessions is Moscow’s wildest dream come true. The silver lining is that leverage is roughly proportional to aid. As Washington’s aid shrinks, so does its capacity to impose its will on Kyiv.

⚡️Update: US not tying security guarantees to Ukrainian elections, Zelensky said.

The U.S. is not pressuring Ukraine to hold elections by threatening to withdraw security guarantees, President Volodymyr Zelensky told reporters on Feb. 11.

The Islamic regime in Iran has just been elected Vice-Chair of the U.N. Commission for Social Development, whose priority theme will be promoting democracy, gender equality, and ensuring tolerance and non-violence.
I shit you not.

Chair: “I hear no objection.”

The UN is IRGC fan-girl trash.

1/ The Russian army faces a crisis with obtaining aid for its soldiers, who are dependent on volunteers to provide them with everything from socks to Starlink terminals. Russian warbloggers say that the blocking of Telegram will wreck voluntary assistance efforts. ⬇️

this is the saddest thing I've ever seen

🗣️ Former MI6 Chief Richard Moore:

Putin would already have lost were it not for the Chinese support he has garnered. Xi is behind Putin.

In December alone, I think we believe that something like 30,000 Russians were killed in one month.

Sometimes it is what people don't say more revealing than what they actually say.

Telegram founder and CEO, Pavel Durov, is "warning" that Telegram might be target of "regulation" by the Spanish government. The fact that the Russian government has outright blocked the very same Telegram, altogether, has so far missed his "attention".

The Dallas group obtained unique blueprints showing the scale of modernization at Plant No. 9 in Yekaterinburg, suggesting that sanctions are not preventing Russia from scaling up artillery production.
