The EU has provisionally approved the 90 Billion Euro ($106 Billion USD) two-year military loan for Ukraine as well as the 20th EU sanctions package against Russia, with the agreement now awaiting confirmation.
Slovakia has decided not to block the aid package, with them, Hungary, and the Czech Republic being exempt from participating in the joint borrowing of money to lend to Ukraine. It's likely that the EU intends to use the 210 billion Euros of frozen Russian central bank assets for repayment.
This comes as Ukraine restarted oil pumping into Hungary and Slovakia, with the first oil expected to arrive by tomorrow.
This aid package is expected to cover around two-thirds of Ukraine's defence spending for the next two years. Ukraine will receive the first 45 Billion Euros in 2026, and the 45 Billion in 2027.

In response to Russia's significantly intensified cross-border assault operations, Ukraine has redeployed elements of the 425th Assault Regiment "Skala" to the Krasnopillya direction of Sumy Oblast, likely either from the Pokrovs'ke direction or the Dobropillya direction.
In February 2026, 1-2 companies of the 253rd Assault Regiment "Arey" were redeployed for stabilising measures, however this task has become far too large for such a small force, especially since Russia has significantly expanded the width of their incursion zone.
Currently, forces of the 425th Assault Regiment "Skala" are counterattacking in the village of Taratutyne (which is entirely in the grey-zone), as well as in the forests north of the settlement. Their goal is to prevent the capture of the village by Russia and prevent Russian consolidation on the northern (right) flank.
Additionally, forces of the 253rd Assault Regiment "Arey" are carrying out smaller-scale counterattacks towards the forests south of Pokrovka.
The defence of this sector is largely being held by elements of the Ukrainian 105th, 116th, 119th, and 122nd Territorial Defence Brigades.

New high-resolution satellite imagery shows that Russia has completed the construction of additional open-air storage facilities for Geran-2 drones at Shatalovo Airbase, Smolensk Oblast.
These areas are used to store drones during launches, which take place from four different static launch pads situated adjacent to the storage facilities, allowing for more rapid launches during large-scale combined attacks on Ukraine.

CBS News reports that Iran retains far more military capabilities than the US government has claimed.
According to them, citing US intelligence, Iran still retains around half of their ballistic missile and missile launcher stockpiles, as well as approximately 60% of the IRGC naval forces (primarily smaller, asymmetric boats) and two-thirds of their air force. They also reported that Iran's conventional navy (separate to the IRGC Navy) has been destroyed.

The status of Lebanon is weird.
Israel has significantly limited its strikes, and has entirely refrained from striking Beirut or the Beqaa, but still carries out occasional shelling and assassinations.
Hezbollah, while previously ignoring these โminorโ ceasefire violations, is now responding to these violations with attacks on Israeli forces in Lebanon.
