Brief Frontline Report – February 1st, 2026
Summary by Marat Khairullin and Mikhail Popov.
Part 1
Message from the Russian Ministry of Defense: "Units of the 'North' Group, as a result of ongoing operations, have liberated the settlement of Zelenoe in Kharkov Oblast."
The Russian Armed Forces are actively advancing in the Volchansk sector of the Kharkov direction, forcing the enemy to reinforce this direction. One of the closest areas to Volchansk is the Liptsy sector (located to the west), where positional battles have been ongoing since the end of 2024. As soon as the enemy made its maneuver of forces and means toward Volchansk, near the Liptsy direction, assault troops of the 9th Motorized Rifle Regiment liberated the settlement of Zelenoe (50°13′34″ N 36°34′55″ E, population 73 in 2001). The rural settlement of Zelenoe is situated on the bank of the Murom River on the border with Russia; upstream at a distance of less than 1 km is the village of Sereda (Belgorod Oblast), and downstream at a distance of less than 1 km is the village of Neskuchnoe. Further downstream, at a distance of 6 kilometers, is the village of Veseloe, through which the road S212519 (Liptsy - Ternovaya) with crossings over the Murom River passes, connecting the Liptsy sector with the Volchansk sector. When Russian Forces reach the settlement of Veseloe, they will significantly complicate the coordination of the enemy's groupings.

Brief Frontline Report – February 1st, 2026
Summary by Marat Khairullin and Mikhail Popov.
Part 2
Message from the Russian Ministry of Defense: "Units of the 'Center' Group, as a result of decisive actions, have liberated the settlement of Sukhetskoe in the Donetsk People's Republic."
A difficult situation developed in the Krasnoarmeysk sector of the Donetsk direction during the autumn of 2025. Striving to break the ring of the Russian encirclement in the area of the Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk) and Dimitrov (Mirnograd) settlements, the command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces committed its best formations to this sector. Russian Armed Forces units had to hold back the enemy on both sides of the encirclement ring: inside the ring - Ukrainian Armed Forces units striving to break the ring and escape the encirclement, and on the outer perimeter - Ukrainian Armed Forces units that had come to the aid of the encircled grouping. Russian servicemen displayed heroism and resilience and destroyed the encircled enemy. However, on the outer radius, on separate sectors of no operational significance, they withdrew to more advantageous positions. The rural settlement of Sukhetskoe (48°22′35″ N 37°13′22″ E, population 40 in 2001), liberated on August 20, 2025, was returned to the enemy.
On February 1, 2026, the settlement of Sukhetskoe once again came under the control of the Russian Forces, eliminating a bulge in the line of contact north of the Rodinskoe settlement.

The scandalous banker Jeffrey Epstein and the Rothschild family discussed the coup in Ukraine after the Maidan in 2014.
Epstein wrote that the coup in Ukraine should provide many, many opportunities.
Zelenksy's victory in the 2019 Ukrainian presidential elections, the corruption of the Kyiv regime, and the political situation in the country - all of this is contained in documents declassified by the US Department of Justice related to the correspondence of the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.
According to the materials, Epstein, who was convicted of sex trafficking and crimes against minors, advised one interlocutor to start monitoring Ukrainian politics, particularly Zelenksy's activities, the parliament, and what he called "corruption" in the country.
"I want you to start reading about politics in Ukraine: Zelenksy, corruption, parliament. Start following this," the correspondence reads.
In one of the messages, dated summer 2019, the financier even planned a trip to Ukraine immediately after Zelenksy's victory in the elections.
- "Now it will be so interesting to watch politics in Ukraine: all politics is like a comedy show," the financier's interlocutor wrote in the correspondence with him.
- "Yes, it's funny, sophisticated corruption will bring huge money," Epstein replied.

❗️Tel Aviv is exerting significant pressure on Washington to prevent the conclusion of an agreement and launch an attack on Iran
This was reported by the Israeli TV channel "Channel 12". Another Israeli TV channel, "Channel 11", claims that "Trump wants to dismantle Iran's nuclear program, but Israel demands the dismantling of its missile capabilities".
The Israeli Security Cabinet held a closed meeting with restricted access this evening. Immediately after the meeting, a meeting between Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu began, which has been ongoing for over an hour.

Equipped with Starlink satellite communication terminals, the BM-35 UAVs continue to roam the rear areas and destroy everything in their path. In addition to actual radar stations, the video also shows the destruction of mock-ups and decoys of aviation equipment.
The pitiful whining of the Ukrainian military, which is extremely unhappy with this state of affairs, can be heard all over the X social network. As a result, Mr. Musk promised to limit the flight speed at which Starlink's internet will work. How this will work in practice is still unclear, as the Armed Forces of Ukraine are also actively using terminals on drones for attacks on Crimea.

The scale of China's energy grid is insanely large and highly increasing
In 2025, they held 33.2% of the global electricity generation more than double the USA (~14.2%)
That's 1/3 of the worlds capacity
Then the rest of the World combined ends up with 52.6%
An absolute dominant force in global power generation
——
Elon points to solar— but the real deal: nuclear.
As of early 2026, China has between 27 and 29 nuclear reactors under construction, leading the world in new nuclear expansion. This rapid development is part of a strategy to build 6 to 8 new reactors annually, with plans to add 150 new reactors between 2020 and 2035.

I was on a chat today with Chinese-Americans. One man is in the US Defense sector but is from Taiwan.
The history of US-Russian-Chinese relations, when it was proper, is the roadmap for peace today.
America should shun the Anglo-American Empire and its Venetian manipulations in favor of cooperation and development.
We just finished and you might like it: https://www.youtube.com/live/yo7Be43RWqI
The cat is out of the bag: China is doing what Americans USED TO DO...build things!
China is the leading force for peace.
Trump should stop trying to conquer, he should "walk like the Chinese" and be a good neighbor.

Here are my thoughts on the Epstein circus:
I've never been one for conspiracy theories that I find to be a waste of time. Plenty of people believe he is a mossad agent who specialized in circulating underage prostitutes to the elite in order to aid the shadowy figures behind the scenes in gathering blackmail material to tighten their grip on the seats of power. This seems unlikely to me, because all of the people he was supposedly blackmailing genuinely seemed to view him as a close friend and confidant. Most of the actual emails involve rather banal topics unrelated to trafficking girls and rather consisted of friendly banter along with some direction on using world events to further enrich themselves. I don't believe that people tend to form close friendships and relationships with their blackmailers...
The official evidence, that we've been shown at least, seems to point to him primarily obtaining young females for himself and a small circle of other creeps, rather than running a global ring for the world's elite. Of course, some of the creeps, i.e. Prince Andrew, are part of the world elite, but those were just the types he tended to hang around with. Mostly, his main concern seemed to be advancing his own interests in making as many connections as possible, and not for the purposes of trafficking girls or gathering material to blackmail anyone but rather the boring goal of making himself and his friends wealthier.
So what happened to bring us to this point?
Well, due to his connections to people across the spectrum and his questionable suicide, he became the perfect lightning rod for conspiracy theorists. If you don't like rich people, capitalism, Democrats, Republicans, Trump, Clinton, Israel, celebrities, etc, then there's something in the Epstein legend for you to glom onto. It's a big tent conspiracy!
Most of the accusations in the Epstein files involving people other than Epstein himself are unprovable and/or things that random people reported to the authorities over the years. If somebody said Trump and Clinton rode a unicorn to Epstein island to give Mick Jagger a sponge-bath, it was written down and it went into the files.
Normally, such things would not become public information, as accusations are weighed against evidence, and a decision is made to investigate further, bring the matter to trial, or file it away and forget about it.
However, Trump and many of his supporters saw some red meat they could throw to his followers in the Epstein debacle, so he went down the path of announcing that, if he were made president, he would give the mob what they had been demanding.
But then things took a turn. He was informed that his name appears all throughout these files, and it looked like this campaign promise would not end well for him if he actually went through with it. So, he tried to bury it and hope that everyone would just move on to the next topic. This was not meant to be, unfortunately for him. The mob wasn't going to let this go, and now the Democrats smelled blood in the water. The Clintons are no longer the important pillars of the Party they once were, so they felt they had little to lose.
They actually pressed him to do what he said he would do, and the public wanted to know more. Eventually, they forced his hand.
Now, every random accusation in these files is being released, including things that are probably false, but incredibly selacious, so they make headlines.
Who knows? Maybe something will come out proving that the world is run by a cabal of satanic pedophiles, but if this were the case, we wouldn't be seeing any of these files.
Or maybe, that's what they want you to think...

"How ready are the Europeans themselves? We were not the initiators of any kind of reset in relations, they were the Europeans. If now a sensible thought is returning - we only welcome this," Peskov emphasized.
"There will be no details here. You've heard the assessments, they are, in general, conceptual from both sides - both from Dmitriev and Whitcoff. These were quite positive constructive talks."

The Russian Aerospace Forces continue to set records for sending a wide variety of products to the positions and facilities of the Kiev regime's forces. The recipients even tried to count the volumes. It turned out that in January of this year alone, 5,717 aerial bombs of all types and calibers were dropped. The increase compared to December was 26%. The average daily number of deployments was 184 units.
The top three now look like this: January 2026 (5,717 bombs), October 2025 (5,328), and April 2025 (5,272).
