⚡️ Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi gave an interview to the French broadcaster Le Monde. Here are the highlights:
In 2025, Russia managed to mobilize 406,000 troops, while total losses in killed and wounded amounted to approximately 418,000. This is the first time such a situation has occurred since the beginning of the full-scale invasion.
Last year, the Russian Federation was preparing a large-scale offensive to fully capture the Donetsk region, advance in the Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk, and Kherson regions, and create a "buffer zone" in the Kharkiv and Sumy regions.
Daily, Ukraine and Russia deploy 6,000 to 8,000 FPV drones, as well as hundreds of reconnaissance UAVs. At the same time, the RF holds an advantage in the air due to guided aerial bombs and missiles.
Despite Moscow's claims about the alleged capture of 97% of Kupyansk's territory, the city remains under Ukrainian control. The situation around Pokrovsk is difficult; however, the city is also under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
⚡️ Tonight, Russians struck the American company Mondelēz in Trostyanets.

⚡️ "They don't look like they want to fight each other": Trump's special envoy Witkoff on ending the war between Russia and Ukraine.
Witkoff stated that "the problem lies with the leaders" [With the aggressors leader if we’re honest] who find it "difficult to create a deal." He also reported that new negotiations in a trilateral format could take place within the next three weeks.
In addition, in Witkoff's opinion, "Putin has always been honest" with him. Supposedly, it was precisely his meetings with Putin that were extremely important for a future agreement.
⚡️ The National Police detained a woman who organized the terrorist attack in Lviv, which resulted in the death of a police officer and injuries to 25 other people; they also released a video showing how she prepared the crime scene.
It is believed that improvised explosive devices planted in trash cans detonated.
The perpetrator was identified as a 33-year-old resident of the Rivne region. Following instructions from a so-called "handler" from the Russian special services, the woman manufactured improvised explosive devices and installed them in predetermined locations.
⚡️ UK Defence Secretary John Healey stated that he hopes to become the first defence secretary to deploy British troops to Ukraine, as this would signal the end of the war.
He also expressed gratitude for the military support and generosity of the British people, who "opened their doors" to Ukrainian refugees in the first weeks after the start of Russian aggression.
🇭🇺Hungary will block the EU's 20th sanctions package against Russia but has not yet decided whether to stop supplying electricity to Ukraine.
At the EU Council meeting tomorrow, a regular package of anti-Russian sanctions is expected to be approved. However, Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó stated that his country will block this decision.
He added that as long as Ukraine does not restore oil transit to Hungary and Slovakia via the "Druzhba" pipeline, his country will not allow the adoption of decisions important to Kyiv, referring also to the $90 billion EU loan.
Yesterday, Hungarian authorities threatened to block electricity supplies to Ukraine, but today Szijjártó stated that one must act "extremely cautiously" in this matter, as it could affect Hungarians in Transcarpathia.
The transit of oil through "Druzhba" via Ukraine stopped at the end of January due to massive Russian attacks. Hungary, like Slovakia, is critically dependent on this route as they are landlocked.
