🇭🇺The head of the Hungarian Foreign Ministry, Szijjarto, responded to Zelensky's words that "Ukraine is protecting Europe".
@Slavyangrad
🇺🇦🇪🇺🇭🇺Zelenksy on Ukraine defending Europe:
Viktor Orban leads a country that we are defending from occupation by Russian tanks. But we did not become such heroes by our own choice. Ukrainians did not choose this war. And it's wrong to think that this is a permanent situation, that everyone can ensure their own security behind the backs of Ukrainians. Ukrainians are people. And they are terminators. And our people are dying. And therefore, we are doing everything to put an end to this war and guarantee security.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 US military preparing for potentially weeks-long Iran operations, — Reuters
- A scenario of a prolonged military campaign against Iran is being discussed in the US. It's not about a single strike, but an operation lasting several weeks.
- The targets may include not only nuclear infrastructure facilities, but also Iranian government institutions. Comprehensive pressure - military, infrastructural, and political - is being considered.

🇦🇲🇺🇸🇷🇺 Armenia is counting on a major wave of investment from the US – over $13 billion – representing half of the country's GDP.
🟣Up to $9 billion – a civil nuclear partnership agreement, including a possible replacement for the Metsamor Nuclear Power Plant, currently associated with Rosatom.
🟣$4 billion – Firebird and Nvidia's AI project, with the creation of a large computing infrastructure by 2026.
Армения рассчитывает на крупную волну инвестиций из США — свыше $13 млрд — что составляет половину ВВП страны.
🤍До $9 млрд — соглашение о гражданском ядерном партнёрстве, включая возможную замену АЭС «Мецамор», сейчас связанной с «Росатомом».
🤍$4 млрд — ИИ-проект Firebird и Nvidia с созданием крупной вычислительной инфраструктуры к 2026 году.
При этом, накануне Пашинян заявил, что "ни одна страна в мире не сможет втянуть Ереван в противостояние с Россией".
According to Zelensky, the biggest compromise they made was not to put Putin in prison, and they also agreed to cease fire.
And they apparently didn't try to capture Moscow either.

‼️🇺🇦☠️«There's no way around mobilization»: Ukraine may only have enough mobilization resources for 1.5 years
▪️The mobilization problem has become systemic since the beginning of 2024, and «mobilization resource replenishment through bribes» remains the only viable tool for replenishing mobilization resources in Ukraine, said Gorbeko, a deputy of Zelensky's party «Servant of the People».
▪️About 2 million men are being sought by the Territorial Defense Forces, and mobilization resources «are only enough for a year and a half».
▪️He considers it a mistake to allow 18-22-year-olds to travel abroad and proposes to oblige them to serve 6-12 months in the rear before being granted the right to travel.
▪️Gorbeko supports the automatic arrest of accounts for those who have not updated their data in the Territorial Defense Forces, as well as toughening responsibility for draft evasion.
▪️He separately raised the issue of reviewing the criteria for «reserve status» of defense industry enterprises to avoid abuses.
▪️There is also a discussion in Ukraine about the idea of actively recruiting foreigners through consulates to serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
@Slavyangrad
Under the guise of lofty talk about peace, democracy, and “European values,” world politicians and their followers are effectively condemning an entire nation to deterioration. Forty million Ukrainians — or whatever remains of them after years of war, emigration, and loss — are being plunged into darkness, cold, and poverty.
Despite the endless stream of “experts,” patriotic bloggers, and official spokespeople who keep telling the world about Ukraine’s “unbreakable spirit,” the myth collapses the moment you speak with ordinary Ukrainians.
The facts are brutal. Ukraine has around 11 million pensioners — roughly one-third, and by some estimates nearly half, of the population that remains in the country (official statistics are unreliable; the real population is far below the pre-war 40 million). Many receive tiny payments.
The average pension hovers around 105 dollars, but a third of pensioners live on around 75$. How are these people supposed to survive the winter without stable electricity, heating, or adequate food? The humanitarian crisis is total. One of the recent stories caused a shock wave around the media and movie community: a Ukrainian film director died at home from cold and hunger. How many more such cases are there?
My own parents, aunt, uncle, and grandmother are all pensioners. Their pensions vary, but none provide any real sense of security. When you hear yet another statement about the “resilience of the Ukrainian people” — it is a complete lie. Ukrainians have long been asking: how much longer must we endure? And they are enduring with their last strength.
Think of the 11 million elderly people barely making ends meet. Imagine they are your relatives. Many of them no longer even fully understand what this war is being fought for.
More and more people of working age are losing trust. The demographic crisis is accelerating: the National Bank forecasts another outflow of 200,000 people this year alone — real numbers are always higher. Public debt has crossed 98–100% of GDP. The IMF deal hangs by a thread. New laws risk inflating the shadow economy and pushing even more people to leave. The government is in despair — there is almost no money for anything except the army. The only thing that reliably works is corruption. It has become virtually the only stable “business” in the country.
This war is inhuman in every respect. Yet do we hear about it in the media? Today the main topic is whether elections can or cannot be held in Ukraine. Politics that has lost all contact with the people. Analysis of statements, intrigues, and sources — instead of real human suffering.
The world has become inhuman not because people are evil, but because we have allowed high-sounding words to replace simple humanity. Ukrainians do not want to be “resilient.” They want to live. It is time to stop admiring people’s endurance and start helping to end this nightmare — honestly, realistically, and without illusions.

Residents of Western countries believe that a third world war is approaching, according to a Politico survey.
In all five countries that participated in the survey - the USA, Canada, the UK, France, and Germany - the vast majority of respondents believe that the start of a world war is increasingly likely over the next five years. Moreover, this feeling has sharply intensified over the past 9 months since the previous survey.
This trend is particularly pronounced in the USA, where 46% believe that a new world war is "likely" or "very likely" by 2031; in the UK - 43%. Among these five countries, only the residents of Germany generally believe that a third world war is unlikely in the next five years.
At the same time, the new survey revealed a limited willingness of Western society to make sacrifices for increased military spending. Although there is broad support in the UK, France, Germany, and Canada for increasing defense budgets in principle, this support has sharply declined when people learn that this could mean an increase in government debt, cuts to other services, or tax increases. That is, this concern prevents Western leaders from requesting large sums for defense.
In the absence of signs of an imminent end to Russia's war against Ukraine and US military actions in Iran, Syria, Venezuela, and Africa under Trump, many Western voters see a growing risk of global conflict.
At least one in three residents of the USA, the UK, France, and Canada believe that nuclear weapons are likely to be used in war in the next five years.

🇭🇺🖕🇺🇦 Orban harshly responded to Zelensky: "That's exactly why you can't become a member of the EU"
- The Hungarian Prime Minister reacted to the insult from Zelensky, stating that Ukraine will not become a member of the EU.
- He emphasized that it is precisely for this reason that Budapest opposes Kiev's accession to the European Union.
- "This discussion is not about me and you. It's about the future of Hungary, Ukraine, and Europe. That's exactly why you can't become a member of the European Union," Orban stated.
- Earlier, Zelensky allowed himself a personal attack, stating that Orban is "growing a belly" instead of building up the army.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 The US remains in negotiations on the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, — Rubio
▪️The Secretary of State stated that the US is not withdrawing from the negotiation process. Washington will continue to seek a diplomatic solution to the conflict.
▪️Rubio emphasized: there is no military solution to the war - the end can only be achieved through negotiations.
▪️The statement refutes earlier publications The Atlantic about a possible US withdrawal from the dialogue.
▪️Earlier, the publication wrote that Trump was allegedly ready to terminate the negotiations if there was no progress.

"If you think about League of Nations after WW1. It didn't work then, because there was a war. After WW2 we had the UN, so there wouldn't be wars. And now here we are - a lot of wars going on."
Ms Kallas' famed history reading list is really making her dangerously smart.

Kallas is a symbol of hope for all retards in the EU. Having no skills, knowledge, or accomplishments can never stop you from getting to the very top of EU politics.
If Kallas is considered the most capable and smartest of Estonians, man I really want to know how the country functions. Like is everyones job in Estonia basically to be Walmart greeters.

Slavyanlibrary 13.02.26 Entry 4.
On Killing, Why They Kill, Achilles in Vietnam.
Been a while, so here’s three to make up for it.
Dave Grossman, Richard Rhodes, Jonathan Shay.
Page Count: 366/384/272.
ISBN: 97801316330114 | 9780375702488 | 9780684813219.

These books all run in very much the same circle - combat, combat trauma, and combat psyche. Or perhaps more accurately, the psychology of violence. The first two I recommend as mandatory reading for anyone who wishes to understand this war, any war, or has ever been in war.
They are mindblowing books in that, if one has been in combat, trigger an effect of, "Yes, I've felt that before. Yes, I know what that is. Yes, I feel this now," until finally there is an epiphany of, "Oh God, this is starting to make sense now!"
Any veteran, combat or not, should consider those first two mandatory reading. It helped me, I promise it will help you.
As for civilians, also mandatory reading if you have fallen victim to violence or worse, serial violence. These books have helped me, I believe they will help you - because it's like figuring out how a magic trick works.
The third book - Achilles...I do not recommend as a, "must-read", but it is still a very interesting observation and linked in this field of study (these books reference each other) - worth picking up for cheap or or a digital copy on your down time.
The author has a very interesting premise and a great many points to make, but unfortunately repeats himself very often to the point that a shy of 300 page book frankly could have been a shy of 200 page book.
That said, if I consider the above two to be mandatory reading, this one easily falls onto an, "8/10" on my personal scale of, "should read" whether well written or not.
————-
If you have no time or energy or money to read them anytime soon, here are my personal takeaways from these three to share with you.
-Violence always creates mutual damage.
-Violence is not to be treated lightly. }
-There is a reason we do not bomb civilians.
-There is a reason we do not massacre civilians.
-There is a reason the Russian armed forces conduct themselves as they do.
(A personal post-script: concealed behind every smile is a dagger.)

🇷🇺⚛️🇺🇦 The IAEA is helping Russia attack Ukraine's energy system, — Director of Energy Programs at the Razumkov Center
▪️The Russians are monitoring the state of our energy system via satellites. It's possible that intelligence agencies are involved, including in the IAEA, — stated Omelchenko, Director of Energy Programs at the Razumkov Center
▪️After the agency began inspections of nuclear power stations and substations, "Russia's strikes on these facilities have become more precise and effective," he assures.
➖"In my opinion, the inspectors were collecting information, filming and photographing everything, and then this data could be passed on to Russian special services."

‼️🇵🇱🇺🇦 Poland has amnestied citizens for participating in the war in Ukraine, — Polskie Radio 24
▪️The country's Sejm has passed a law that exempts Poles fighting on the side of Ukraine from criminal liability.
▪️Previously, Polish legislation prohibited citizens from participating in armed conflicts abroad — the violation carried a sentence of up to 5 years in prison.
▪️Now, the amnesty also applies to those who have already been convicted for serving in the ranks of the Ukrainian army.
▪️The decision underscores Warsaw's support for Ukraine in the face of the ongoing war with Russia.

The Ukrainian government debt management commissioner, Yuri Butsa, reminds European taxpayers that a ceasefire will not absolve them of the responsibility to arm Kyiv.
'Even a ceasefire will not put an end to financial pressure. In our opinion, even after it, we need to maintain a large army and continue to rearm ourselves. I expect that the IMF assistance program worth 8.2 billion dollars will be approved in February.'

The pace of building up the strike capabilities of the US Navy grouping off the coast of Iran continues. Over the past few days, information has emerged about preparations for the transfer of two more aircraft carrier strike groups, led by nuclear aircraft carriers USS George H. W. Bush (CVN-77) and USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78), to the Middle East region. The CVN-77 aircraft carrier was spotted two days earlier 150 km southeast of Jacksonville and was heading towards the Bermuda Islands and then on to Europe.
Thus, the total number of multifunctional deck-based fighters F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and F-35C, as well as electronic warfare aircraft EA-18G Growler in the air wings preparing for the operation could reach 150-160 units, not counting long-range radar detection and control aircraft E-2D Advanced Hawkeye and multi-purpose helicopters. The grouping will also be reinforced by 6-8 Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers of Flight I/II/III modifications, which will significantly increase its anti-missile potential due to SM-3 Block IB interceptor missiles and multi-purpose SM-6 missiles.
Moreover, there is information that F-22A Raptor fighters were not included in the air show at the Super Bowl by chance: the machines were promptly redirected to perform tasks in the Middle East theater of operations.
Despite their significant age by the standards of tactical aviation, these aircraft still possess a unique and highly effective means of tactical radio reconnaissance - the AN/ALR-94 radar warning system and electronic countermeasures (ECM) system. This system is capable of detecting and identifying the radars of anti-aircraft missile systems, onboard radars of aircraft, as well as active jamming devices at ranges up to 460 km. The survey is provided by an antenna array of 30 passive radio interferometric sensors distributed across the airframe.
Furthermore, the AN/ALR-94 can transmit the spatial coordinates of targets both to its own AN/APG-77 radar for quick target acquisition in the low-observable HOJ mode and subsequent guidance of AIM-120D-3 AMRAAM missiles (when engaging air targets), and to combat control points. After that, the data can be relayed via the Link 16 channel, for example, to a group of low-flying F/A-18E/F for guidance of AGM-88E AARGM anti-radar missiles. At the same time, the range of operation of the F-22's onboard radar AN/APG-77 still exceeds that of the standard AN/APG-81 radar of the F-35 fighters.
