Using open digital sources, international detectives conducted a search for eight Ukrainian children abducted by Russia. Approximately 60 detectives and investigators from 23 countries participated in the operation.

The search for the young Ukrainians utilized various methods, including satellite images, facial recognition systems, geolocation, and other investigative techniques. Specialists determined that these children were orphaned and forcibly taken to territories occupied by Russia, where they were exploited for Russian propaganda purposes. Information regarding their whereabouts has been shared with Ukrainian authorities.

"Russia would be eager to strike America, but in a certain way, Ukraine stands in the path of this," stated former Polish president, Lech Wałęsa

Speaking as part of the "Prosperity and Development" project by the Washington-based analytical Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), Walesa expressed regret for not being able to achieve a decision on Ukraine and Belarus joining NATO during his presidency.

"We must do everything possible to assist the Ukrainians. They are incredibly courageous people fighting for their freedom and ours. We cannot allow ourselves to fail. We must continue providing military aid," Walesa emphasized, as reported by Voice of America.

The leader in the liberation of Poland from Soviet influence is confident in Ukraine's potential to prevail. However, he foresees a resurgence of Russian aggression within the next 20 years.

The New York Times reports the US's skepticism regarding Putin's call for talks with Ukraine. According to the publication, the Kremlin leader is not inclined to negotiate until at least November, seemingly hopeful for a return of Trump to power, which could offer more favorable terms.

Analysts view Putin's statements with skepticism, likening them to a tactic known as a "peace offensive," a strategy dating back to Soviet times. This approach aims to present a facade of seeking peace to the outside world while placing blame on the other party for refusing to engage in dialogue.

The article also highlights that the United States has no plans to pressure Zelenskyy, and there are no indications from Putin's actions suggesting a genuine readiness to initiate negotiations.

Stocks of shells for Ukrainian air defense will only last until March of this year.

According to The New York Times, although the Armed Forces of Ukraine have a new commander-in-chief, the problems remain the same. General Syrskyi, having taken office, may soon again be faced with the grim calculations that have accompanied the war for two years: “when the cost of defending territory outweighs any benefit obtained from harming the enemy.”

According to the newspaper, Ukrainian troops are exhausted, they lack weapons and ammunition, and air defense systems are depleted, while US assistance is still in question.

Western officials and military experts warn that without American help, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will face a “rapid collapse” on the front line this year, writes the NYT.

The US Senate voted 64-19 to continue debate on aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan over the weekend.

16 people did not vote - mostly those who are against it.

Now, the Senate is in for a laggard series of weekend votes before moving on to final passage. That will include a critical vote on Sunday to overcome a filibuster on the bill.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has vowed to object to a time agreement that could speed up progress, meaning senators will have to run out the clock on debate between each vote, since any one senator can object to a time agreement.

Absent an agreement with Paul, the Senate’s weekend schedule would likely look something like this:

Saturday is the debate.

Sunday: A vote on whether or not to advance an amendment that changes the underlying text of the bill to the language in the borderless foreign aid legislation. That vote would take 60 votes to pass.

Monday: If the above passes, the Senate would move to a vote on actually approving that amendment, which would take a simple majority. The Senate would then take one more procedural vote to advance the bill further. That would take 60 votes

A final passage vote — which would take a simple majority — could happen either Tuesday or Wednesday.

Schumer repeatedly warned Senate Republicans that he would keep the Senate in session until work on the supplemental was done. That plan will now eat into both the weekend — including Super Bowl Sunday — and a planned two-week recess that was slated to begin next week. Members aren't especially excited about that reality, but are proceeding nonetheless.

And if all of above happens, the bill can then be passed to the House of Representatives, where the Republicans are in majority.

Morning trading update for the Russian Dictator Putin and his corrupt team.

Representatives of Russian business are complaining en masse about problems with foreign payments.

China and Turkey are responding to secondary sanctions and banks are ceasing to trade with the terrorist state.

Turkish banks from the beginning of January and Chinese banks from 1st February are refusing the send or receive money.

" Trading in stolen products from Ukrainian territory is going to be harder. Financing the war will be more difficult if Russia can't trade "
It may be possible to use Iranian and north Korean banks but this will take time to sort as would using third parties to do corrupt money laundering transactions .

This is the final part of the documentary trilogy “Offensive”.

The first-person combat footage shows the offensive actions of units of the Third Separate Assault Brigade during the summer-autumn phase of the advance of Ukrainian troops in the Bakhmut direction.

Andriivka was the final point of the brigade’s offensive in Donetsk region.

After clearing the banks of the Siverskyi Donets-Donbas canal from enemy forces and entrenching in captured positions, the fighters of the brigade are starting a new stage and storming the approaches to the occupied village of Andriivka. Stormers advance from one trench to another. Grazing small arms fire and grenades going in one after another, including thermobaric ones.

The occupiers are offered to surrender, but there is no time for long persuasions here, and the russians’ choice is limited – either prisoner or liquidated. “I’ll smoke you out now!”, – one of the fighters comments and continues “pouring” fire.

Thus, through the forest strips, filled with the burrows of the occupiers and fierce battles, the stormers are approaching the settlement and begin the liberation operation.

The total defeat of the enemy’s 72nd omsbr of the russian federation by the forces of the Third Assault Brigade, constant dynamics on the battlefield, the sounds of explosions, shootings and moments when you say goodbye to life, your brothers-in-arms and family. All for the sake of the victorious raising of the Ukrainian flag and the brigade banner over the liberated land.

About the high price of the de-occupied territories, and what the fighters are living through at this time – in the documentary film.

They are talking bullshit. They can turn off areas like Russia IF THEY WANT. They have done that to Ukraine in the middle of an attack.

Russians are using Starlink at the front, according to Defence One

The first cases of using the terminals were recorded several months ago. So far, we are talking about dozens of devices on the front line. But there could be hundreds of them.

SpaceX said the company "does not do business with the Russian government or its military. Starlink does not operate in Russia. The company has never sold and will never sell equipment to Russia."

The terminals may enter Russia through third countries, just like microchips for Russian rockets.

At the same time, the quality of the Internet distributed by Starlink terminals in the Ukrainian army has plummeted.

⚫ In an extraordinary but justified move, Meta has suspended multiple official accounts on Instagram and Facebook belonging to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei.

A spokesperson for Meta said, "We have removed these accounts for repeatedly violating our Dangerous Organizations and Individuals policy."

Khamenei's accounts, which have consistently crossed the line, were previously given a pass, as are the accounts of most heads of state on social media.

However, since October 7, his accounts have been actively promoting and justifying the actions of Hamas, Ansar Allah (Houthis), and other terrorist organizations.

🔴 IDF: Rocket launchers near a kindergarten and an underground tunnel route beneath a civilian water station; operations of the 646th Brigade in Khan Yunis

The 646th Reserve Brigade is operating in the Khan Yunis area. As part of their activity, the reserve soldiers are conducting targeted raids on terrorist infrastructure, encountering the enemy, eliminating terrorists and locating many weapons.

During a targeted raid, troops located rocket launchers placed by Hamas terrorists near a kindergarten and mosque. The launchers, loaded and aimed at the territory of the State of Israel, were destroyed by the forces. Additionally, during searches of a civilian water facility in the area, the forces found a tunnel shaft leading to an underground tunnel route inside the facility. Operations inside the tunnel revealed two eliminated terrorists.

Furthermore, during a targeted raid on assets used by Hamas operatives, many weapons were found: RPG missiles, explosives, AK-47s, military uniforms and vests.

🔵 A list of things Israel is blamed for even though it is 100% not Israel’s responsibility, and no other country is held to this standard:

- Gaza’s water. In reality, Israel only provided 10% of Gaza’s water. The other 90% was provided by their own government. Interesting how the Israel haters focus on the 10%, not the 90%. Also, Hamas uses the water pipes to make rockets. Google it.

- Gaza’s electricity. See previous comment. Why should Israel provide an enemy state with electricity? Besides, Hamas’ tunnels have electricity. Funny how that works.

- The Iron Dome. I love it when the haters say “At least Israelis have a siren so they can take cover. The Palestinians don’t even have that.”

Um, and why is that? Perhaps; and this might be a crazy thought, it’s because the Israeli government cares about its citizens and has invested in a defensive system that would save lives, while the Palestinian leadership, aka Hamas, needs dead Palestinians so they can cry about them to the world.

Perhaps they should have invested billions on defense systems instead of terror tunnels.

Also, Gaza doesn’t need sirens. Why? Because Israel tells them when and where they are going to attack. Also because, if they don’t attack Israel, Israel won’t attack them. No need for an Iron Dome in Gaza. Just try stopping to kill Jews.

- More “Humanitarian aid”: Say what? Israel was brutally attacked by Hamas as well as hundreds of “innocent” Gazans and Israel should send in aid to Gaza? Also, almost all that aid is stolen by Hamas and never reaches a single innocent person. On what planet does it make sense that Israel should continue to send in aid? Insanity.

- The civilian infrastructure in Gaza: If Israel bombs a civilian structure, in 100% of the cases, it’s because it was being used by Hamas as a terror base. That’s right. They use mosques, nurseries, homes, children’s rooms, and on and on. Blaming Israel for retaliating is truly ridiculous.

- The made-up number of innocent casualties in Gaza: Anyone who quotes the number of so-called innocent Gazans killed is directly quoting an actual terrorist organization that believe that no one in Gaza is a militant or terrorist. To them, every death is counted as an innocent death. Want proof? Sure. Tell me how many terrorists Israel eliminated according to their numbers. Zero. Yea… ok.

And now, a full list of things the Palestinians are blamed for and need to take accountability for, according to the international community:

-
- The end.

⚫ Baghdad's Appeals Court sentenced Iraqi influencer blogger Enas al-Khalidi to four months in prison on charges of posting "distasteful content." Meanwhile, armed militias sowing death and destruction, assassinating dissidents, embezzling public funds roam the country freely.

Unless Iraqis, and many other Arabs, understand that liberty guarantees personal freedom while the rule of law regulates the usage of violence and public funds, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, the Palestinian Territories, and Yemen will remain the lawless dumpsters that they are (Iran too, but that's
none of my business, I speak for the Arab culture I hail from).

Deflecting attention against "settler colonialism," imperialism, capitalism, and Israel will only aggravate the problem and delay the day of reckoning.
