I am proud to announce that our country is taking another step to impose sanctions against the nuclear industry of the terrorist state. By my decree, I am enacting the decision of the National Security and Defense Council to impose sanctions against two hundred people working for the Russian nuclear industry. We are doing everything we can to make sure that these sanctions become part of the global sanctions against Russia for their involvement in the war. Although there is some resistance, we have been able to successfully implement other restrictions against Russia in the past, such as those on oil and oil products. All elements of the Russian system that are involved in the war, in providing terror and financing aggression must be isolated from the global system. I thank everyone who is working for our country and defending Bakhmut, Vuhledar, Chasiv Yar, Maryinka, Avdiivka and all other areas in Donetsk, Luhansk and along the entire frontline! Our resilience, unity and mutual assistance are our strength! Glory to Ukraine!

Ukrainians now hate Russia so much, they want to be rid of all things Russian.
In a letter, the Ministry of Culture requested that the National Academy remove Pyotr Tchaikovsky's name, as his activities had no connection to the Academy and he identified himself as a native Russian. Additionally, they stated that the Russian composer is a well-known Russian cultural figure.

US friends, take note. I went to vote in Berlin today and this was the line in front of the polling station. “But wait! There is no line!” Indeed. There is no line because there need not be one. Because it’s about how polling is organised. If you are standing in a line for hours in order to exercise your democratic rights, it’s because someone wants you to.#polling #democracy #righttovote
Spent some time this morning teaching the littlest love to make his own hand-sewn book. I think he was pleased with the result.
The Russian forces are attacking in five different directions: Kupyansk, Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Novopavlivka. They are increasing their troop numbers in the Lyman and Bakhmut directions and using their air force to target our troops. The Ukrainian Defense Forces have responded by carrying out two air strikes on the areas where the enemy is located, and using missiles and artillery to hit eight areas of enemy personnel, one air defense position and two ammunition depots.

Russian losses
The General Staff reported a total loss of 6,490 personnel for the week of February 06-12. Additionally, there were losses of 60 tanks, 2 aircraft, 2 helicopters, 7 pieces of artillery, 83 armored combat vehicles, 49 unmanned aerial vehicles, 61 artillery systems, 5 rocket launchers, 57 vehicles and fuel tanks, and 12 pieces of special equipment (radar). These figures do not include the wounded and captured russians, so the actual losses are even higher.
