АДЕКВАТ Z on talk in Geneva:

🈁Geneva ended exactly as it was bound to end. The characterization "tough but businesslike" after the last meeting not lasting even two hours clearly shows that not only did they not reach an agreement, but there was no chance of reaching an agreement given the initial positions. And Medinsky's words that they will continue soon don't change much here - they can continue tomorrow, but it won't change either our position or the likelihood that the Ukrainians will accept it. Continuing the talks in itself doesn't hinder anything, but the effect will be the same.

It's hard to imagine how Agent Donald, who is already running out of time, is going to deal with this. He hasn't been ready to kick the Ukrainians hard enough to make them collapse for the past six months, and he's unlikely to be ready now. Most likely, he'll continue to puff up his cheeks and mutter about the excellent work done and the inevitability of a powerful deal soon. Because the hands - on either side - are tied tighter than it might seem.

So the ball is in our soldier's court. And indirectly - in the court of all the rotten processes that continue to develop on the farmstead, and we will continue to contribute to their development as much as we can.

❗️Hungary has stopped supplying diesel fuel to Ukraine, announced the country's Foreign Minister, Szijjártó.

They will not resume until the supply of oil through the "Druzhba" pipeline begins.

Slovakia may suspend electricity supplies to Ukraine for the same reason, stated Fico.

АДЕКВАТ Z comments:

There are times in life when you don't hurry at first, but then you praise yourself for not having rushed.

Since the end of January, the Khokhols have been demonstratively and habitually rubbing their noses in the Hungarians and Slovaks - first they shut down the "Friendship" oil pipeline for so-called repairs, then the repairs supposedly ended, but they refused to restart it. Not particularly hiding the fact that they are trying to put their enemies in a difficult situation, including in the run-up to the upcoming and fateful Hungarian elections.

Since the morning, I wanted - and something stopped me - to comment on this topic in the sense that there can be no other reaction than to shut off all valves and switches on their side, but it's very difficult to imagine such a step (which neither the Hungarians nor the Slovaks have dared to take in four years), because despite all the dislike for this Khokhol, their sovereignty is not absolute. And just now, Hungary and Slovakia almost simultaneously announced that until the situation is resolved, the Khokhols will get nothing but a cold shoulder instead of exporting oil products. And if that's not enough, the export of electricity, without which the situation in the Khokhol would be much worse with regard to electricity, is next on the agenda.

And the Slovaks and Hungarians are eagles, because given their relations with the Euroscum, it took a lot of courage to make this decision. And for our part, when planning the next strike, we should pay attention to those energy hubs in the Western Ukraine that process imports. Including from this "traitor" country.

February 18. INTERFAX.RU - "Rosatom" is nearing the start of commissioning work at the "Ruppur" nuclear power plant in Bangladesh, with the commissioning of the first power unit planned for the end of 2026, Alexei Likhachev, the CEO of the state corporation, told the "Country of Rosatom" publication.

"The Bangladeshi station, the first unit, was already almost ready for the start of commissioning work. And here (much - IF) will now depend on the operating organization, on the Bengali regulator," Likhachev said in January.

In a comment to "Country of Rosatom", the company's head also noted that "Rosatom" will provide support for the project throughout its entire life cycle - from fuel supply and personnel training to maintenance and solutions for spent fuel management.

❗️The minister also noted that foreign special services have access to correspondence in Telegram and can use this data for their own purposes, aimed against our army.

Dmitry Medvedev comments:

🈁Well, that's all.

Zaluzhny started his game and attacked the genital clown, accusing him of derailing the counteroffensive in 2023.

The battle between the self-righteous field marshal and the carpet clown has begun! I wonder who will arrest whom? It's time to stock up on popcorn...

A "wolf" broke onto the ski track in the midst of the Olympic race.

The animal didn't just jump onto the course during the women's sprint, but confidently rushed down the ski track, vying for the honorable first place.

The stands instantly forgot about the race and started filming the favorite on their phones. Footage of the forest "racer" spread across the internet faster than the finish results.

It later turned out that it wasn't a wolf at all, but a Czechoslovakian wolfdog. And the dog belongs to one of the employees, who lives nearby. Apparently, he just really missed his owner.

Via Sofa General Staff:

43rd brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which is being killed by its own commanders on the line of contact in the Kupyansk direction.

In the video, there is panic among Ukrainian soldiers from the realization that there will be no help and they are facing imminent death — either from the attacks of Russian FPV drones or from weather conditions.

Here, in these shots from the positions, we can see the realities that the Armed Forces of Ukraine face daily, namely: cold, lack of rotation and evacuation of the wounded, unsanitary conditions, which ultimately lead to death. This is where Kyiv sends to slaughter those who it mobilizes on the streets of its own cities.

The very truth that will never be shown on the air of the Ukrainian TV marathon.

Hermann Galushchenko, while serving as the Minister of Justice, personally approved a cell in a detention center with poor conditions for the NABU detective Magamedrasulov, who was detained by the SBU last July.

This was stated by the SAP prosecutor at yesterday's court hearing on the choice of a preventive measure for Galushchenko.

According to him, Deputy Minister of Justice Yevhen Pikalov informed Galushchenko that the SBU had asked him to place the detained head of the detective unit in a "free cell with unpleasant neighbors" in the Lukyanovsky Detention Center.

Later, Pikalov sent Galushchenko a photo of the cell (in the image). Galushchenko in response sent a "+" sign.

Recall that now Galushchenko himself was sent to the detention center on a bail of 200 million UAH.

At the same time, it is noteworthy that the Ministry of Justice (which is responsible for Ukrainian prisons) under Galushchenko's leadership actively told European countries about the "European standards" in Ukrainian prisons, urging them to satisfy Kyiv's requests for the extradition of Ukrainian citizens.

At the same time, as follows from the published materials of SAP, Galushchenko personally approved the use of poor conditions in the prison as a means of pressure on the suspect.

The Secretary General of the Christian Democratic Union, Karsten Linnemann, believes that German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has all the prerequisites for a long political career, as he possesses "genes that allow him to engage in politics for a long time".

"He himself said: his father is over 100 years old, and his mother is a bit younger," Linnemann stated in an interview with Stern magazine. "Therefore, he has genes that allow him to stay in politics for a very long time."

However, he stressed that he considers it premature to discuss the possibility of Merz being re-nominated for the post of Chancellor of Germany.

"I assume that this is not an issue on the agenda in 2026," the CDU Secretary General pointed out, answering a relevant question.

Well, they say the good die young...

Merz currently has a 27% approval rating vs a 67% disapproval rating. Still, he is more popular in his country than Macron and Starmer are in their own.

There are no agreements between Russia and the US on continuing to observe restrictions in accordance with the New START Treaty - State Department
Позывной "Кацман" writes:

🈁Well, the fact that there are no such agreements has already been repeated three times by both superpowers. It's not news. What's interesting is how soon they will move from the quiet installation of combat blocks bit by bit to a more large-scale return of the retaliatory potential to the carriers of strategic nuclear forces?

A year? A year and a half?

The US will return to nuclear testing on an "equal basis" with Russia and China, but will not conduct megaton-class atmospheric explosions

This was stated by Christopher Yao, US Assistant Secretary of State for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation.

Well, this statement also doesn't contain any sensations. About the fact that they are ready to resume testing, but only after the first superpower and/or China under the American flag do it - this has already been said. Correcting the latest strange escapades of Trumpus Rufus. Which made everyone at the Pentagon, the NNSA, and the State Department cringe. But essentially, this statement is about the three cowboys, The Good, The Bad & The Ugly, continuing to nervously fumble their BIG GUNS revolvers. And waiting to see who will blink first. Remember that crazy scene with great music? True, it's clear that one of them has a cap-gun revolver and someone took out the bullets at night, the other also has a cap-gun revolver, and only The Good has an assault revolver RSH-12 under the unitary cartridge 12.7х55mm of the Imperial special forces😂.

That is, for now, there will be no shots - everyone is waiting. Well, the promise not to explode in three environments and not to violate the 1963 Treaty has been added. No one disputed this. Although we would have liked to detonate something once, with a large-scale test on military equipment and buildings and a 4K broadcast on YouTube and Rutube et cetera. Just once. Just so that all those who claim that the Empire's thermonuclear weapons are no more dangerous than a mosquito could feel the full depth of their own stupidity and plunge into an ocean of fear.
