- — Al-Julani’s Syria On The Road To “Normalization”
- Click to see the full-size image Written by Damir Nazarov In early February, clashes broke out on the Lebanese-Syrian border between local Shiite tribes and Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) militants. It all began after a brazen attempt by jihadists to evict Lebanese from a number of Syrian villages, but after meeting resistance, the militants of the former Syrian al-Qaeda retreated. The HTS side justifies aggression in its media in two directions blocking smuggling to Lebanon, while more outspoken propagandists complain about the Sunni origin of the city, which justifies the tactics of violent expulsion of local residents of Lebanese origin. However, several facts refute the anti-Lebanese propaganda of HTS. For example, the fact that Zionist drones provided assistance to a jihadist convoy in battles with Shiite tribes became additional confirmation of the existence of hidden coordination between Israel and the Syrian dictatorship. The activity of the HTS insurgents coincided with the arrival of Morgan Ortagus, who is the representative of Trumpism in the Middle East. Morgan Ortagus shakes hands with Lebanon’s President Morgan Ortagus visits Lebanese Army base.She’s holding a 107mm Iranian-made shell seized from Hezbollah by the Lebanese Army Ortagus is a dyed-in-the-wool Zionist, who is called upon to implement the policy of Israel through the Washington cabinet. The hostile actions of HTS against Lebanon and the Shiites are intended to make a positive impression on Trump and the Zionists within the framework of mutually beneficial cooperation between the former Syrian al-Qaeda and the US Republicans. Click to see the full-size image But it is not only Hezbollah that is the factor bringing together HTS and Trumpism. If we accept the recent announcement by IDF terrorists about their air attack on a Hamas weapons depot located in southern Syria, then we can conclude that the leading Palestinian organization will be the next subject of coordination between HTS and the Zionists. The al-Julani dictatorship will not have to think up a reason for putting pressure on the Palestinian Islamic Resistance for long; it is enough to accuse Hamas members of spying for Iran and subject them to deportation or arrest. In fact, the attempt to block the Syrian routes to Lebanon also has an anti-Hamas gesture, because during the last war we saw that the forces of the al-Qassam Brigade participated in the confrontation with the Zionists together with Hezbollah. Why is al-Julani developing a pro-Zionist policy? The new dictator of Syria is going to follow in the footsteps of the infamous Egyptian traitor of the last century Anwar Sadat. Apparently, the head of HTS will explain his actions the heavy economic burden of post-war Syria. As an argument, he will cite the words of EU officials who are waiting for a democratic system and an inclusive government in Syria, and due to the absence of all of the above, the EU cannot lift all sanctions on Syria. Lets not forget that the dictator has announced his rule for at least four years. Therefore, it is important for al-Julani to earn the trust of Zionism, which, according to the plan of the former Syrian al-Qaeda, should influence Trump, who in turn should lift part of the sanctions against Syria. As a gesture of friendliness towards the Zionists, HTS began a secret confrontation with Hezbollah, which will inevitably develop into a broad anti-Iranian confrontation, where the jihadists target will be the Alawites, the Sunni tribes of northeastern Syria who previously collaborated with the IRGC, members of Hamas and Syrians trading with the Iraqis across the border. The HTS regime has launched the process of transition to the traitor axis, where the beginning of the stage is the fight against the Axis of Resistance, and the finale should be an official meeting between Ahmed al-Sharaa and the Zionists. In general, four years is a convenient date for the pro-Zionist strategy of the Syrian dictator, because during this time he will try to finally destroy all routes to Lebanon through Syria and suppress all manifestations of the “pro-Iranian opposition”.

- — Gesture Of Desperation Or Casus Belli? EU Prepares Pirate Operation Against Russian Tankers
- Click to see the full-size image Wir kapitulieren nie (We will never surrender) such inscriptions were painted on the walls of German cities during the most critical days of winter-spring 1945. Despite the obviousness of defeat, the ruling elite continued to cling to the phantom hope of the defeat of the Reds. This phrase has become fixed in German historical memory as a symbol of desperation against the background of an absolutely unfavorable environment. Approximately the same approach is demonstrated today by the European Commission in its effort to defeat Russia in the confrontation in Ukraine. The United States seems to be withdrawing from the game. Brussels, however, wants to maintain the confrontation at all costs. Politico reports that the European Commission is working on a plan to seize Russian oil tankers in the Baltic Sea. The goal of the European Union is to weaken the so-called shadow fleet of Russia, which allows to maintain economic stability in the conditions of acute geopolitical confrontation. As Bloomberg writes, the revenues of the Russian Federation from the sale of oil and natural gas in January 2025 increased by 17% compared to the same period in 2024. This happened despite the toughest sanctions that the administration of Joseph Biden managed to impose. Over 50% of oil traffic passes through the Baltic Sea. Brussels plans to seize ships under the pretext of protecting the environment from a possible oil spill. In addition, the Europeans intend to use the Anti-Piracy Act to seize tankers that allegedly threaten critical infrastructure. This refers to unconfirmed allegations that Russian ships have deliberately damaged undersea cables. There is also the option of adopting new national legislation that would establish an updated list of reliable insurers. If a shipping company uses an insurance agent deemed unreliable by the EU, Estonia or Finland would be able to delay the ship and disrupt the shipment. These initiatives have already begun to take shape. At the forefront of the attack is Denmark. Danish authorities have announced increased inspections of ships carrying Russian oil. The kingdoms Maritime Administration will inspect ships that cannot be considered peaceful. The criteria for assessing which ships are peaceful and which are not will, of course, be determined by the authorities themselves. Previously, Denmark only inspected tankers that entered its ports, which were extremely rare. The epochal nature of this decision is underestimated by outside observers. In fact, Copenhagen is breaking with the 1857 agreements on free passage through the strait. Looking at the situation in a broader perspective, the European states are trying to level the conquests of the Great Northern War of 1700-1721 and the achievements of Peter the Great. The blockade of the Danish Straits is tantamount to a denunciation of the Montreux Convention on the status of the Bosporus and the Dardanelles. Geographically, Russia is very vulnerable because the European part of the country has a much more developed infrastructure, including port infrastructure. St. Petersburg, Ust-Luga and Primorsk are among the five largest Russian ports. The European bureaucracy does not realize that the imposition of the continental blockade seriously approaches a direct armed conflict between Europe and Russia. The blockade is a casus belli. The fifty-first article of the United Nations Charter establishes the right of a state to individual self-defense. On December 14, 1974, the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 3314 on the definition of aggression. Article 3 qualifies as an act of aggression the blockade of the ports or coasts of a State by the armed forces of another State, the attack by the armed forces of one State on the naval and air fleets of another State. In world practice, attempts to disrupt navigation have often become the cause of full-scale war. The Egyptian naval blockade of the Gulf of Aqaba in 1967 gave Israel an excuse to use force. In turn, the Israeli naval blockade of the Gaza Strip played a significant role in the events of October 7, 2023. The actions of the North Atlantic Alliance coordinated by the Anglo-Saxons in the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Finland are attempts to blockade Russia, including with the aim of paralyzing the work of our ports in the Leningrad and Kaliningrad regions. In their desire to weaken Russia, the West also uses terrorist methods. An example of this is the attack on a Russian ship in the Mediterranean and the seizure of the Eagle S by pirates in the Baltic Sea, said Nikolai Patrushev, Russian presidential aide and chairman of the Maritime Council, in early February. These words can be seen as a warning to Europe. Moscow has something to respond to aggressive actions. Click to see the full-size image The length of the coastline of the Russian Federation exceeds 63 thousand kilometers. If the Russians want, they can paralyze EU shipping along their entire coast. The possibility of coordination between Moscow and Sanaa is also quite realistic. The Yemeni Houthis could theoretically receive Russian anti-ship weapons to attack ships bound for the European Union. For the international community, Russias actions would clearly be perceived as retaliation. The EU blockade of the Baltic Sea is a blow not only to Russian exports, but also to strategically important imports of the Global South. In 2024, oil from Russia accounted for 36% of Indias total oil imports and 1/5 of Chinas energy purchases. Neither New Delhi nor Beijing needs an imbalance in the global market for black gold. And this is precisely the result of the European Commissions reckless and serious actions. It should be noted that the EU restrictions encourage the Russian authorities to develop infrastructure in less developed regions. Another non-obvious result of the crude pressure is the strengthening of cooperation between Russia and Iran. The Russians can make better use of the North-South transport corridor to connect with the Indian consumer. The EU has no influence on this logistical route.

- — Overshadowed By Su-57, Disgraced F-35 Left Without Airtime At Aero India 2025
- Click to see the full-size image The US is still trying to woo Delhi to acquire more American weapons, particularly fighter jets such as the F-21, an advanced F-16 derivative with F-22 and F-35 DNA. The latters lack of a demo flight is very indicative of its reputation within the Indian military, which is particularly worried about the fact that countries with F-35s are virtually always subjected to unacceptable levels of control, risking their sovereignty while also acquiring a mediocre aircraft at best. Written by Drago Bosnic, independent geopolitical and military analyst India is one of the worlds largest buyers of military equipment. This makes it a particularly important customer for a number of leading arms exporters, including Russia, France, the United States, etc. Due to its over half a century long close ties with Moscow, Delhi is a premier user of Russian weapons, ranging from modernized AK-200 series of assault rifles to nuclear-powered submarines. This cooperation also involves significant technology transfers, including hypersonic weapons and advanced developments in aviation. India was even part of the FGFA (Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft) program that nearly resulted in the joint production of an Indian Su-57 derivative by Sukhoi and HAL (Hindustan Aeronautics Limited). While the Indian Air Force (IAF) acquired a number of French and Israeli systems, most of its equipment, including fighters and missiles, is still of Russian origin. This includes the Sukhoi Su-30MKI fighter jets, the best in IAF, constituting nearly half its squadrons (14 out of 30). There are also the MiG-29UPG and MiG-21 fighters, the IL-76 heavy-lift aircraft and IL-78 tankers. India has also converted two IL-76s into AEW&C (airborne early warning and control) platforms. Naturally, such a high percentage of Russian jets also means that IAF operates numerous Russian weapons, including the R-77 and R-73 air-to-air missiles, the Kh-59, Kh-35 and Kh-31 air-to-surface missiles, along with the KAB series of laser-guided bombs. The Indian military also operates Russian Mi-17 multirole, Mi-35 attack and Mi-26 heavy-lift helicopters, as well as the now legendary S-400 SAM (surface-to-air missile) systems, deliveries of which began in December 2021, in addition to numerous other Russian air defense systems. According to various estimates, upwards of 85% of Delhis massive military is using weapons, munitions and equipment bought from Moscow. Although India has started diversifying its weapons procurement, Russia is still at the forefront. As previously mentioned, this also includes hypersonic technologies, as BrahMos Aerospace, an Indo-Russian missile-producing joint venture, is testing the highly anticipated BrahMos II scramjet-powered missile. All this suggests that Delhi is highly unlikely to phase out Russian weapons any time soon. On the contrary, its only logical that the Indian military will continue to acquire new arms from Moscow. This years Aero India indicates precisely this will happen in the near future. Namely, the Su-57 made its debut at Indias largest air show, leading to reasonable speculation that Delhi will procure the advanced Russian fighter.

The latter was even scheduled for a demo flight, but for some inexplicable reason, the US decided not to move forward with this. The only logical conclusion is that it wanted to avoid yet another humiliation for the already deeply troubled F-35. Washington DC is still trying to woo Delhi to acquire more American weapons, particularly fighter jets such as the F-21, an advanced F-16 derivative with F-22 and F-35 DNA. The latters lack of a demo flight is very indicative of its reputation within the Indian military, which is particularly worried about the fact that countries with F-35s are virtually always subjected to unacceptable levels of control, risking their sovereignty while also acquiring a mediocre aircraft at best. The US-made jet started this year just phenomenally, first by crashing in Alaska (along with Lockheed Martins stocks) and then by getting even more cuts in orders, including by the US and UK. Worse yet, the latest report on the F-35s performance shows that very little (if anything) was done to improve it. In stark contrast, the Su-57 is battle-proven in the largest conventional conflict in decades, despite incessant attempts to slander the Russian jet. However, while the US finances propaganda against Moscows weapons systems through its extensive network of independent media, the reality is completely different. Many analysts have suggested that the cancellation of the F-35s demo flight is intended to avoid unfavorable comparisons with the Su-57, the flight performance of which is considered overwhelmingly superior. Whats more, the Russian jets already fantastic AL-41F1 3D TVC (thrust vectoring controls) engines will soon be replaced by the next-generation AL-51F. Meanwhile, the F-35 is still struggling with its F135 engines which are prone to overheating and failures in general. In addition, the US-made jets combat (and even peacetime) record is thoroughly unimpressive, to put it mildly. While the Su-57 is regularly conducting SEAD (suppression of enemy air defenses), air-to-air and air-to-ground missions in areas heavily saturated by SAM systems, the F-35 is barely capable of matching countries that should be relatively easy to bully into submission. Also, as previously mentioned, India is extremely worried about the US controlling such weapons systems. According to retired Air Marshal Anil Chopra, his country remains cautious about the US tendency to exert pressure and abandon allies when its own interests diverge with theirs, as well as potential US expectations for India to distance itself from Russia. This is a clear indicator that the old Indo-Russian military partnership is more than alive and well. Air Marshal Chopra also stressed that choosing a reliable partner country that wont impose undue pressure is crucial, which is a very clear reference to the US. This further implies that the American jet is out, thus leaving just the Su-57 as the only viable and timely option for the IAF. This notion is further reinforced by Moscows official offer to jointly produce the Russian jet with Delhi, which would effectively restart the FGFA program. Whats more, there are reliable reports that the first Su-57E (export version) will be delivered to an unnamed foreign customer. This could be Algeria or possibly Vietnam, as theyve been eyeing the Russian jet for decades. India is highly unlikely to get its first Su-57 this year, as it hasnt even officially ordered it yet. However, the latest developments are a clear indicator that no sanctions or pressure could shake the foundations of the multipolar world.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine attempt counterattacks in different directions but fail to change the balance of power and continue to retreat. As it was expected, the recent large-scaled attack in the Kursk region led to heavy losses and no victories on the ground. The attempted attack was aimed at containing Russian forces and distracting the Russian command from the upcoming Ukrainian attacks in other directions. The recent expensive Ukrainian attack in the Kursk region highlighted that the Ukrainian military may attempt new counterattacks in the Donbass, mainly in the Pokrovsk direction. Indeed, the military command of the Ukrainian military is well predictable. According to preliminary reports from the battlefield, the Armed Forces of Ukraine attempted attacks on the southwestern outskirts of Pokrovsk aimed at obliterating a salient created as a result of the Russian advance. The counterattack was reported near the village of Zvirove located only three kilometers away from Pokrovsk. Following the same tactics used in the recent attack in the Kursk region, Ukrainian forces went into an assault on American armored vehicles. In several waves of attacks from different directions, Ukrainian assault groups were moving along the roads under close Russian fire. As a result, armored vehicles from the US were stopped by massive strikes of small FPV drones. Another Ukrainian counteroffensive ended in failure and more losses in manpower and military equipment from NATO. Another possible direction of new Ukrainian counterattacks could be the village of Lysivka, inflamed by prolonged battles. It is located in the southeastern outskirts of Pokrovsk. In the case of breakthrough there, the Ukrainian forces could advance deep in the Russian rear areas and attack the strategically important town of Selidovo from the north. In order to achieve strategic success and surround large Russian forces, the Ukrainian military could also attempt a breakthrough south of Uspenovka to target Selidovo from the west. But the balance of power on the frontlines ruins Ukrainian plans. The Russian army has launched a series of successful offensive operations and is rapidly expanding its zone of control on a wide front southwest of Pokrovsk. For example, on February 11th, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation officially confirmed the full control of Yasenove, while the Russian troops are already repelling Ukrainians from Sribne located to the west. Betting on the heavy battles in the Russian Kursk region, where Kiev is fighting for political benefits losing large military reserves, the Ukrainian military lost any chance to counterattack and take back control of the territories lost in the Donbass, including the regions in various places like Pokrovsk. The Russian army is already straightening its front, securing its flanks and threatening the next Dnepropetrovsk region with a major offensive on a wide front from Velikaya Novoselka to Pokrovsk. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SouthFront: Analysis and Intelligence NOW hosted at southfront.press Previously, SouthFront: Analysis and Intelligence was at southfront.org.

- Click to see the full-size image The front on the Pokrovsk direction has significantly come into motion in recent days. Zelensky found a way to send 18-year-olds to the war. A new terrorist attack against Russia is being prepared in the Baltic Sea In the Kursk Region, the aftermath of the recent counterattack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) from near Makhnovka is still being eliminated. Russian troops are clearing the area of Ukrainian forces that have dispersed into forested areas. Russian marines are advancing in the vicinity of Kurilovka, approaching Sudzha from the southern side of the town. The area is partially mined. The Russians also managed to dislodge Ukrainian troops from a number of strongholds in Sverdlikovo and around this locality. Moreover, a counterattack of the UAF towards Russkoye Porechnoye (northwestern section of the front) was repulsed. Kiev is moving tanks and groups of Western mercenaries (from the Czech Republic and Canada) into the Kursk Region. document.createElement('video'); https://s5.cdnstatic.space/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/64268.mp4Download video Russian UAV operators eliminate enemy groups with grenade drops It has now become clear that from a tactical point of view it is “no big deal” for the Russians to destroy the Ukrainian grouping that has invaded the Kursk Region – by cutting it off from the border, taking it into a cauldron and creating conditions for the enemy to surrender. However, the Russian General Staff has obviously set another task – to grind down the elite units of the UAF that are being transferred there, which could provide active resistance to the advancing units of the Russian Armed Forces (RAF) in other directions. It is no coincidence that after the invasion of the Kursk Region there was an immediate tendency to increase the pace of the RAF offensive in the southern Donetsk and Kharkiv directions. In the north of the Kupyansk direction, the Ukrainian army still found opportunities to organize a counterattack on Dvurechnoye, located on the right bank of the Oskol River, where Russian troops are expanding their zone of control. However, the Ukrainians did not achieve any visible success. https://s5.cdnstatic.space/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/21606.mp4Download video Russian drone disrupts unloading of food by UAF soldiers In the Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk) direction, there is counter-fighting and counterattacks by the UAF, which, however, have not been successful. The Russians continue their offensive near Udachnoye and at the Nadeyevka-Sribnoye line. Nevertheless, information continues to be received about the UAFs intentions to continue counter-battles in order to slow down the advance of Russian troops and transfer reserves. Right flank. The UAF units took control of the road junction on the highway near Malinovka and continue to attack the heights east of Malinovka. In Vodyanoye Vtoroye, there are counter battles for the industrial zone of the settlement and in the area of Beryozovka. To the southwest, fierce fighting continues for Elizavetovka. Russian assault units are attacking Zelenoye Polye from the direction of Baranivka and Balka. Left flank. The advance of Ukrainian units south-east of Kotlino was blocked. The Ukrainians were unable to break through to Zverevo, but success awaited them in Peschanoye (they entered its western part). In the area of Zverevo and Peschanoye, the UAF used ground drones with remote-controlled machine guns. South of Udachnoye, north of the Solyonaya River, Russian units advanced in the eastern part of Novosergeevka. In the Konstantinople direction, the RAF are advancing in Andreevka, adjacent to Constantinople. After the taking of Velika Novosilka, the assault units of the Russian Vostok group of forces continued to carry out combat missions to destroy the enemy and cut into the depth of his defenses on a wide front. In the area of the Sukhi Yaly river north-west of the village of Zelenovka, Russian assault units are advancing towards the village of Konstantinople. East of Zelenovka, Russians have managed to extend their operational control zone up to 4 kilometers, which makes it possible to block the escape routes of the remnants of Ukrainian formations from Dachnoye and reach Ulakly. Northwest of Vremivka, the RAF continue their offensive on a broad front. Areas of forest belts are being cleared with the occupation of heights, the total advance was up to 1 km in depth and more than 3 km along the front. To the north of Vremivka-Temirovka several forest belts were cleared and strongholds were captured in an area more than 1 km deep and up to 1.5 km in front. Artillery and UAVs inflicted a complex defeat on Ukrainian manpower and equipment. The destruction of up to 50 personnel, a UAV, a mortar and four vehicles was reported. Two M-777 and D-30 howitzers were hit from artillery. In the Krasnolimansk direction, Russian forces continue to develop tactical success, deepening their control over key positions near Ivanivka, Yampolivka and Terniv. At the same time, firing on Ukrainian fortifications is intensifying in anticipation of possible forced offensives. The RAF are conducting assault operations on the outskirts of Yampolovka, and with the support of armored vehicles and artillery continue to penetrate deep into the settlement. Tactical successes create prerequisites for further dislodging the enemy from the fortifications, but the Ukrainians in this sector offer fierce resistance, clinging to every defensive position, as well as using a large number of FPV drones. Russian units are undertaking offensive actions aimed at expanding the bridgehead on the right bank of the Zherebets River south of Ivanovka, creating conditions for assault actions from several flanks in the direction of Kolodyazi. It is noted that the expansion of the zone in this sector will complicate the logistics of the UAF and create conditions for further advances into the Krasnolimansk fortified area. South of the village of Terny, Russian troops are carrying out a massive fire attack on enemy fortifications, depleting the remnants of Ukrainian reserves. In the area of Novolubovka, the Russian army is also conducting active artillery shelling of the UAF positions on the right bank of the Zherebets River, probing the enemys defense in different sectors. In the Kharkiv direction, units of the Russian Northern group of forces struck the manpower and equipment of the UAFs tank brigade and Ukrainian territorial defence battalions in the areas of Velikiy Burluk and Olkhovatka in the Kharkiv Region. The UAF lost up to 20 servicemen, an armored fighting vehicle, an artillery gun and an ammunition depot. https://s5.cdnstatic.space/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/21592.mp4Download video Destruction of two armored combat vehicles (YPR-765) using FPV drones near the village of Kolodeznoye, the Kharkiv Region https://s5.cdnstatic.space/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/154233.mp4Download video Destruction of the Ukrainian M-113 armored personnel carrier On the Zaporizhzhia front, no significant changes so far, the “drone war” continues.

Work of the Russian fpv-drone “Prince Vandal of Novgorod” On the political and diplomatic front, Volodymyr Zelensky said that he plans to exchange parts of Kursk Region occupied by the UAF for the territories occupied by Russian troops as part of the upcoming peace talks. At the same time, he came out with a proposal of a special contract to people 18-25 years old. For a year of service in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, they are promised $24,000 and admission to a university without exams. Meanwhile, the Russian Armed Forces have become more active in the Kupyansk area and near Volchansk, while a strike on Konstantinovka is being prepared. As soon as Chasov Yar is taken, a new cauldron for the UAF will be formed near Seversk. https://s5.cdnstatic.space/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/154228.mp4Download video Chasov Yar. An aerial view of the city, where heavy fighting has been going on for 9 months A hasty transfer of Ukrainian troops from near Kharkiv, which had previously been heading to the Kursk region, has already begun. As for the negotiating positions, the Kremlin will not sit down at the negotiating table until the Kursk Region is released. This was stated by the secretary of the Russian Security Council and former Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. Kiev, having no more military or diplomatic levers of pressure on Moscow, has ordered its intelligence services to increase the intensity of terrorist attacks and sabotage against the facilities of the fuel and energy sector, transport, and the defense-industrial complex of the Russian Federation. The goals are to damage the enemys economy and intimidate Russian citizens. Since the beginning of 2025, 23 terrorist attacks have been prevented in Russia in different regions of the country. This is just over one month. In addition, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) said that Ukrainian security services, supported by Western handlers, were planning to organize a number of high-profile anti-Russian provocations. According to their information, a foreign vessel is expected to be blown up using Russian mines in the Baltic Sea, and Moscow will be blamed for this. According to Ukrainian and Western security services, such a military sabotage operation could lead to NATOs decision to ban Russias access to the Baltic Sea.

- — Ukrainians Attempt Counterattacks Near Pokrovsk
- Click to see full-size image The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation maintain the military initiative alang the entire front in the Donbass. The joint Dnepropetrovsk direction remains the main area of Russian offensive. Heavy battles are ongoing on the Pokrovsk front. After their recent maneuver in the Kursk region, Ukrainian forces expectedly attempt counterattacks on the outskirts of Pokrovsk but so far to no avail. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are deploying their military reserves in the area of Pokrovsk and attempt counterattack on its southern outskirts. According to the latest reports from the battlefield, several waves of Ukrainian assaults were repelled near the village of Peschanoe which is under the control of the Russian army. Ukrainian assault group on armored vehicles from NATO attempted attacks along the roads from their stronghold in Zvirove located nearby. Russian massive drone strikes and heavy artillery fire do not allow the attackers to gain a foothold in the area. Ukrainian counterattacks were also reported in the villages of Lysivka and Dachenskoe, that are inflamed by prolonged heavy battles. The Russian military does not allow the breakthrough. Russian strikes: https://s5.cdnstatic.space/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Russian-strikes-2.mp4Download video Ukrainian counterattacks are probably aimed to attack the stronghold of Selidovo from the northern direction. However, the ongoing attacks are yet to bring any results. In order to achieve a strategic victory, the AFU should also break through Russian defense west of Selidovo in order to surround the advancing Russian forces but taking into account the pace of Russian advance on the western frontlines, Ukrainians lost the time for maneuver.

On February 11, the Russian Ministry of Defense officially confirmed the full control of Yesenevoe. Meanwhile, Russian forces are already advancing in the village of Zaporozhie located west of Serebryanoe (Sribne) and Yasenevoe. Northeast of Pokrovsk, Russian troops are expanding their zone of control in the area of the road junction near Malinovka, securing control of the strategically important logistics hub between Pokrovsk and Konstantinovka. As a result, the operational capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are limited on a wide front, their maneuverability and military supplies are complicated.

- — Russian Intelligence Warns Kiev Plans False Flag Attack In Baltic Sea
- Illustrative Image The war in Ukraine was marked by numerous false flag attacks and various provocations launched by the Kiev regime. Amid the signs of the ongoing negotiations between Moscow and Washington, the terrorist Kiev regime is expected to attempt new large provocations to prolong the conflict or gain some benefits and weaken Russian positions. On February 11th, the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation released a statement warning that the special services of Ukraine, with the support of their Western patrons, plan a number of high-profile provocations against Russia. According to available information, they plan to blow up a foreign vessel using Russian mines in the waters of the Baltic Sea. After the attack they will attempt to blame Russia. The false flag attack is aimed to become a reasonable pretext and push NATO to close the waters of the Baltic Sea to Russian vessels in order to protect civilian shipping. In this case, an escalation would be inevitable and could ultimately push the Russian Federation and the North Atlantic Alliance into direct confrontation. In addition, the Kiev regime and Western special services are preparing a wave of attacks on members of the so-called Russian opposition and businessmen who have fled Russia abroad. Terrorists from the Middle East and Asian countries will be involved in the commission of crimes. They are promised to pay 20 thousand dollars for completing each task. The warning from Moscow seems very reasonable. Such provocations well correspond to the interests of Western warmongers, who continue their campaign of pressure on the maritime communications of the Russian Federation. In particular, the Baltic states are looking for a pretext for a blockade of the Baltic Sea but without a direct war with Russia. Attacks on the so-called leaders of public opinion is easily explained by the need to attract more attention to them, especially after they lost US money and have no influence on their own.

- — Russian Strikes Leave Kiev With No Assets To Pay The West For The War
- Illustrative Image Russia and Ukraine continue exchanging massive strikes in the rear areas. The night of February 11th was not an exception. According to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, in total, 40 Ukrainian UAVs were intercepted and destroyed by Russian air defense in the rear regions. They include: 18 UAVs in the Saratov region; 13 UAVs in the Rostov region; 6 UAVs in the Bryansk region; 2 UAVs in the Volgograd region; 1 UAV in the border Belgorod region. The night attack was not the most massive one but some of Ukrainian UAVs managed to break through Russian air defense. Most of the drones targeted the rear Saratov region, in particular the local military airfield, which is the home base of Russian strategic bombers, and oil refinery. As a result of the attack, a fire broke out at the oil refinery. The governor of the region confirmed the attack and some damage to an industrial facility in Saratov. According to preliminary reports, there were no victims as a result of the strikes. document.createElement('video'); https://s5.cdnstatic.space/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/saratov.mp4Download video The first attacks on Russian refineries took place a year ago. In recent months, their intensity has increased. Russians tried to strengthen the protection of their fuel depot against enemy drones, for example, with bar screens, but the problem of protecting such facilities is still not resolved. No significant damage was reported in other Russian regions last night. https://s5.cdnstatic.space/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/ukr.mp4Download video In their turn, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are pounding Ukrainian rear infrastructure with daily massive combined attacks with drones, missiles, MLRS. On February 11th, the Russian Defense Ministry officially confirmed the night attack in Ukraine. Russian military officials quite rarely comment on Russian strikes and the reports are often a signal of particularly severe damage. Last night, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation launched a group strike with high-precision long-range ground, air and sea-based weapons and unmanned aerial vehicles, as a result of which the facilities of the gas and energy complex that ensure the operation of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex, the infrastructure of military airfields, storage and preparation sites for the use of unmanned aerial vehicles were hit. The objectives of the strike have been achieved, the report reads. According to the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Ukrainian air defense destroyed only 57 out of 124 Russian drones. 66 UAVs allegedly disappeared. The interception of Russian missiles was not reported. The Energy Minister of Ukraine confirmed that Russian forces inflicted a massive blow on Ukraines energy system. Emergency blackouts have been introduced across the country. According to military monitoring sources, on February 1, day and night, the Russian Aerospace Forces and missile forces attacked targets in the Donbass, Sumy, Kharkiv, Zaporozhie, Kherson regions, Pavlograd and Odessa, Mirgorod and Lubny in the Poltava region, near Vinnytsia, Kiev, Chernigov, Mykolaev, Uman and Kanev in the Cherkassy region, Obukhov and Brovary in the Kiev region. The Russian military launched drones, Kalibr, Iskander, Kh-59/69 missiles. Russian strikes were recorded every ten minutes throughout the country. On the evening of February 10th, Ukrainian military reporters confirmed the launch of up to 20 Kalibr missiles from the Black Sea. They reportedly targeted gas infrastructure facilities in the Odessa region. However, strikes of Kalibr missiles were also reported in the area of Mirgorod in the Poltava region, where a military airfield is located. The local authorities confirmed Russian strikes in several settlements in the Poltava region. According to unconfirmed local reports, Russian strikes targeted some local gas fields. The ongoing devastating Russian strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure on various gas fields leave Kiev with no facilities to sell to NATO warmongers through companies like the notorious Burisma. LINK About a dozen large explosions thundered in the town of Merefa in the Kharkiv region. Energy infrastructure was destroyed in the city of Kharkiv and in the area of Zmiev. More details about the exact targets of Russian strikes and the damage they caused are yet to be revealed but the scale of the attack supposes the devastating consequences for the Kiev regime.

Ukraine inherited dozens of such radars from the Soviet Union. The Kh-35 is a subsonic anti-ship cruise missile with a land-attack capability. The latest version of the missile is equipped with a GLONASS-aided inertial navigation system along with an active radar homing head. It has a range of up to 260 kilometers and can cruise as low as four meters from the surface to avoid detection. The missile can be fired from aircraft, like the Su-34 fighter bomber, a land-based multiple launch system dubbed Bal or from warships using systems like the KT-184 naval launcher.

- — In Video: Ukrainian Forces Shot Down Russian Su-25 Near Toretsk
- document.createElement('video'); https://s5.cdnstatic.space/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/su.mp4Download video On February 8th, the Armed Forces of Ukraine shot down Russian Su-25 in the area of Dzerzhinsk (former Toretsk) in the Donetsk Peoples Republic. The attack was confirmed by the footage. Ukrainian military sources reported that forces of the 28th Air Defense Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine spotted two Russian aircraft in the area. One of Ukrainian soldiers attacked the target with the Soviet-made Igla man-portable surface-to-air missile system. One of the aircraft, Russian Su-25 fighter fell and exploded. The footage shared by Ukrainian military sources was cut and the moment of the strike was not shown. Most likely Ukrainian propaganda tried to hide the fact that Russian pilot timely ejected and was evacuated by Russian forces. Immediately after the attack, Russian rescue team of two helicopters Mi-24 and Mi-8 with evacuation group on board appeared in the sky. They circled in the area and spotted the pilot in the grey zone. He is seen walking to the helicopter, while fighters were controlling the area. Ukrainian UAVs attempted strikes on the helicopters but failed to inflict any damage. Ukrainian fire forced the Mi-8 helicopter to escape from the grey zone. The pilot accompanied by members of the evacuation team went on foot to Russian military positions located nearby. It was a dangerous evacuation operation that ended successfully. The pilot was saved and taken to a hospital.

There are more and more signs of the possible contacts between Moscow and Washington but the doomed Kiev regime has failed to play strongly and achieve any victories on the battlefields so far. The recent large-scale attacks by the Ukrainian army led to another defeat in the Russian Kursk region. Having lost hundreds of soldiers and dozens of military vehicles, including precious tanks from NATO, Ukrainian forces did not expand their zone of control southeast of Sudzha and failed to gain new footholds. The Russian troops continue the mop up operations and counterattack, repelling the remaining Ukrainian soldiers from the forest areas near Cherkasskaya Konopelka and Fanaseevka. Ukrainians have been trying to evacuate the wounded from the area for several days now. According to the latest reports from the front, the Russian military secured its control of Fanaseevka and completed the mop up operations in the forest south of the village. East of Cherkasskaya Konopelka, Russian troops are advancing near the local dam. The standoff persists in all directions in the Kursk region. The Russian army increases pressure on the western flank of the Ukrainian grouping in Sudzha. According to the latest reports from the battlefield, they secured their foothold in the western part of the village of Sverdlikovo. Ukrainian forces are hiding behind the local river in the eastern part of the village. Sverdlikovo is a key stronghold of the Ukrainian army, control of which will pave the way for further Russian offensives on Sudzha from the west. According to estimates by the Russian Defense Ministry, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have already lost about 60,000 people in battles in the Kursk region. Heavy Ukrainian losses are confirmed by footage in the region. Despite the ongoing defeats both in the Kursk region and in the Donbass, the Ukrainian military command continues sending reinforcements to Russian territory. Over 320 additional fighters from Ukrainian airborne assault units with more armored vehicles were reportedly deployed to the border region of the Russian Federation in recent days. The numerous reserves thrown into Kursk battles have not changed the frontlines so far but the head of the Kiev regime Zelensky is still betting on the bloody attacks on Russian soil hoping for some political benefits. In his recent interview Zelensky called the Kursk operations of the Ukrainian army very beautiful. In February of 2024, the Russian army took control of a large number of cities and towns on the Donbass frontlines. They include Avdeevka, Ugledar, Selidovo, Kurakhovo, Velikaya Novoselka, etc, not to mention dozens of smaller villages. The last large Russian victory is the liberation of Toretsk. In its turn, the Kiev regime keeps losing its military units with NATO tanks in its ‘beautiful operations’, proud of its control of a small town named Sudzha on Russian territory. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SouthFront: Analysis and Intelligence NOW hosted at southfront.press Previously, SouthFront: Analysis and Intelligence was at southfront.org.

- — War Crime 18+: More Evidence Confirm Ukrainian Atrocities In Kursk Region
- Illustrative Image New evidence of Ukrainian war crimes against civilians in the Russian Kursk region emerged. One of their victims is a veteran of the Great Patriotic War, tortured and killed by Ukrainian Nazis in his home. The man was tortured and then shot in his head. Click to see full-size image Click to see full-size image The Ukrainian Nazis do not spare civilians either in the regions of Donbass, which Kiev has lost, or even more so in the border regions of Russia. Decade of hostilities in the L/DPR and the first years of the Russian Special Military Operation in Ukraine revealed the true face of the cultivated Ukrainian Nazism. Ukrainian Nazi battalions and scum from other Ukrainian units have murdered thousands of innocent civilians in Donetsk, Luhansk, Mariupol, Odessa, Kramatorsk, Kharkiv and all other settlements, especially in eastern regions. Today, these Nazis revel in genocide on Russian lands. The only lesson that Kiev learned is that the mass murders should be hidden from the MSM to support the victim image. Unfortunately, the evidence of Ukrainian atrocities in different settlements in the Kursk region continues to grow. A lot of captured Ukrainians are already testifying in their crimes. document.createElement('video'); https://s5.cdnstatic.space/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/kursk2.mp4Download video The prisoner, Vladimir Parafilo described how he shot a civilian man in the back, when he was coming out of his barn in Russkoe Porechnoe.

- — Russian Strikes Stopped Ukrainian Gas Fields In Kharkiv Region
- Click to see full-size image Russian strikes destroyed the development well at the Ukrainian gas field in the village of Vodiane in the Kharkiv region. Together with the derrick, the gas pipeline node was destroyed. As a result, production was stopped at all other fields in the area. The gas fields in the Vodiane area have been operating for more than a decade. They did not stop working during the war in Donbass, including after the start of the Russian Special Military Operation in Ukraine. The gas production at the field was controlled by the US and belonged to Burisma Holdings, linked to the corruption schemes of the son of former US President Hunter Biden. The last gas transit agreement between Kiev and Russia ended on December 31. As a result, the price of Ukrainian assets and infrastructure drastically decreased and can be easily acquired by British and American companies. Thats why more devastating Russian strikes on Ukrainian gas infrastructure should be expected. Russian attacks also increase pressure on Ukrainian gas supply to the territories controlled by Kiev and increase the dependence of the former main supply hub on supplies from abroad.
