#Pokrovsk In the latest DS update, analysts reported that the RuAF had captured the small settlement of Shcherbakova (northern outskirts of the city) and was advancing towards a pig farm (visible on the attached map of Petrenko, north of the city).

Colonel Mashovets presented the prospects for the upcoming Russian spring-summer campaign, the most likely objective of which will be the capture of the Metropolitan Slovyansk-Kramatorsk. The most interesting conclusions are:

Even Z-Bloggers see what the "second army of the world" is worth: "And what now? Should we continue to tolerate attacks from a distance? Conceal the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Belgorod? Keep silent and cover up the traces of burning refineries, factories, and warehouses?

#Kupyansk I invite you to read Colonel Mashovets article regarding activities in this direction. novynarnia.com/2026/02/19/o...

This statement may be amusing, especially the "sucking up" to Trump. But it comes from a man Putin has always considered his vassal, one whose power he saved in January 2022. What a slap in the face this must be for Putin...

#Lyman I was a bit surprised to see the attached post from an account I considered quite credible. So I started searching for more information on the subject. To save time, I'll quote what I believe to be the most credible Ukrainian soldier, Muchnoy. bsky.app/profile/noel...

For those who praise the USSR despite having no idea of ​​the realities of life during that era, I've included a video showing what life was like in the Polish People's Republic. 😡😭 www.instagram.com/reel/DU7fQWA...

Z-Bloggers are probably not happy with the current slowdown and the planned Telegram ban. An interesting post by Anastasia Kashevarova, very aptly illustrating how "the Russian economy is thriving, and sanctions are ineffective":

It must be admitted that more and more Z-Bloggers are beginning to recognize the real capabilities of the RuAF and are voicing their opinions more and more vocally. This is likely why the Kremlin plans to completely block Telegram. I'm attaching an interesting post by Krasnoyarsk69:

Polish Ministry of Sport: "Due to the International Paralympic Committee's approval of Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete in the 14th Winter Paralympic Games in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo using their national symbols, representatives of the Ministry of Sport and Tourism

#Myrnohrad In the day before yesterday's update, Deep State highlighted Russian territorial gains in Pokrovsk, Myrnohrad, and Rodynske, but made no mention of the Russians taking full control of Pokrovsk.

Excitement about the AFU's offensive actions is running high on social media, so I'd like to share two posts from both sides to tone down the mood.

#Oleksandrivka Muchnoy: "Our units continue their advance and expand their control zone. In Vyshneve, we have captured the eastern part of the settlement – ​​the positions are well-equipped, and we are holding firm.

#Zaporizhzhia Z-Blogger Radov: "Stepnohirsk. There are no Ukrainian counterattacks here; fierce trench warfare is taking place. A week ago, Ukrainian troops (half Colombian) attempted to enter Mali Shcherbaki. The enemy was partially destroyed and partially retreated in the fighting.

Muchnoy: "We will publish an update on the front in the evening, stay tuned, there is good news from that direction, we managed to start fighting for one of the settlements, the fighting there continues with periodic successes!" Anyone interested? 🤔

Gazprombank's Economic Forecasting Center has calculated how long it will take to deplete the National Prosperity Fund, depending on oil prices: just over a year at current prices, less than 2.5 years at $50 per barrel. ru.themoscowtimes.com/2026/02/13/n...

#Huliaipole and #Oleksandrivka Muchnoy confirms Radov's information, which I included in the previous post: "Our units are methodically expanding the penetration zone towards Berezove, Ternove, and Stepove. A bridgehead for a further breakthrough has already been established:

#Zaporizhzhia is a map by Z-Blogger Radov. Please note the penetration ranges of Ukrainian troops marked with orange circles, because they reach Berezove and Rybne, which are in the red zone on the DS map.

The European Parliament approves €90 billion in support for Ukraine. Yesterday, NATO approved $38 billion in support for the AFU. These are among the largest support packages since the beginning of the war. Every day I read telegrams from the front, and morale is truly high.

#Zaporozhzhia DeepState Founder Roman Pohoriliy: "Events similar to those in the Huliaipole direction are taking place in the Zaporozhzhia direction. Many actions are being carried out, but rather, actions—most of the actions you see are actions, not counterattacks.

I hadn't noticed this before, but a few days ago, Robert "Magyar" Brovdi provided some very interesting information: "For the second time since the invasion in 2022, the enemy has suffered more casualties than it mobilized." www.facebook.com/share/p/17wh...

#Kupyansk - news from the city from perhaps the most reliable source, Kravchuk, who is fighting in this area: "The situation hasn't changed radically. The Pidars are still trying their best to enter the city, but are being destroyed along the way by our artillery crews and unmanned aerial vehicles.

I decided to translate a long post by Z-Blogger "Svarshiki", please read it and draw your own conclusions. Please note the Russians' reactions; almost everyone agrees with the situation presented by the author:

I recommend reading Kommersant's article, "December Saves the Year The Economy Was Conquered in the Last Month of 2025." Just a reminder that it's owned by Putin's associate, Alisher Usmanov, meaning the publishing house is naturally controlled by the Russian state.

#Huliaipole - what Z-Bloggers are writing about the AFU's offensive operations, Rybar: "In the area where the Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk regions meet, the Ukrainian Armed Forces conducted counteroffensive operations near Ternuvate.

I thought situations like the one described in the attached thread were exceptions. bsky.app/profile/madr...

This pro-Putin Trump is strange... 🤭https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/us-vice-president-vance-heads-armenia-azerbaijan-push-peace-trade-2026-02-09/

#Huliaipole a little more details from Muchnoy: "The fighting for Zaliznychne continues – it's fierce and relentless. The enemy is massively attacking our shelters with drones, trying to neutralize our defenses from the air, but they're meeting resistance.

#Huliaipole The pro-Ukrainian section of the "X" portal is excited about the AFU offensive in the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia Oblasts. The inspiration for this excitement is a map from Z-Blogger Yuri Podolyaka, who plotted theoretical Ukrainian territorial gains.

According to data released Friday by the Russian Ministry of Finance, the January budget deficit exceeds almost half of the annual target. www.themoscowtimes.com/2026/02/06/r...

As I wrote in the thread below, the US has every interest in further weakening Putin, always putting US interests first. Here's another example. militarnyi.com/uk/news/ssha...

Lavrov: "Russian companies openly expelled from Venezuela after events in the republic" tass.com/politics/208...

A very interesting article comparing the scale of production between a country that is actively rearming itself (Poland) and a country that is currently engaged in military operations (Ukraine), using the example of howitzers. The scale is staggering... defence-ua.com/weapon_and_t...

Z-Blogger "Veteran's Notes": "The mass shutdown of Starlink terminals is underway. Of course, everything has its advantages. Shutting down Starlinks also has two advantages: 1. The domestic equivalent will start operating faster. 2. Commanders will become closer to their subordinates.

Over the past two days, the GSUA has reported a staggering 113 destroyed Russian artillery systems. For some time now, this number has rarely exceeded 20, so I was a bit surprised.

The biggest air attack in months, how I hate being right about things like this...😡 bsky.app/profile/madr...

Andriy Kovalenko, head of the Office for Combating Disinformation: "Nobody wanted to study plumbing/construction. Since the beginning of the 21st century, we've had a country of lawyers, economists, and all sorts of excellent specialists.

#Huliaipole In mid-December, Putin and Gerasimov "liberated" the city, which was confirmed by most "experts from Portal X." However, visual data shows the opposite. Yesterday, the Russian "No Name Group" from the 1466th MSP posted an interesting video.

An interesting statement from one of the creators of the "Donetsk People's Republic," Igor Girkin: "I follow with great pleasure the ever-repeating comedy called 'The Long Russian Nose.' We were once led by the nose during Minsk-1, then led by the nose during Minsk-2,

Well, Trump graciously asked Putin not to shell Ukrainian cities for a week, and he generously agreed, and everyone is happy... www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Wolya-Media journalists have uncovered some very interesting information. According to the Russian Ministry of National Defense, as of January 23, 43,322 people had signed contracts. Sources suggest the total number of recruits could reach 48,000-50,000 by the end of the month.

Today, for the first time, Russians fired MLRS missiles at the city of Zaporizhia, wounding four elderly women, a 37-year-old man, and a teenager. Panic ensued, as the city was within range of Russian rocket artillery.

#Pokrovsk on "Z" channels is buzzing with excitement, as the attached video shows the destruction of a Ukrainian defensive position in an industrial zone in the northwest of the city.

I observe the Russian infosphere almost daily, and more and more Russians are noticing the dramatic situation in their country. Z-Blogger "Svarschiki": "Trump finally managed to convince the Indians, the downward trend in the supply of Russian petroleum products continues to decrease,

#Zaporizhzhia DS: "The enemy continues to exert active pressure in the Stepnohirsk area. The map shows the concentration points of the Katsap infantry over the past few days. These are the points where at least one infantryman in a group of 2-4 soldiers was detected and eliminated.

#Zaporizhzhia good news before bed, Kravchuk: "According to the brothers, the situation has partially stabilized. Assault attempts are ongoing, but the Pidars have been stopped towards Huliaipole.

Until now, I considered this man reasonable, but after this outrageous statement, I lost all respect for him. If a commander immediately assumes defeat before the campaign even begins, he should resign immediately.

Good news before bed, Z-Blogger Radov: "The situation has worsened in many areas. There is no good news. Tomorrow I will write in Chastnoye about where the Khokhols are currently trying to counterattack." 😁

For those who know Russian, I've included a very interesting interview with a Russian prisoner of war captured by the 110th Brigade. The interview was conducted by one of the brigade's soldiers. www.youtube.com/watch?reload...

I'm sorry, but I had to...🐱
