The head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Bakanov, made a working visit to Myanmar. In Naypyidaw, he was received by the Head of the Republic, Min Aung Hlaing.

The parties agreed on the following:
🔵To deploy a measurement station for the GLONASS system in Myanmar.
🔵To work on the placement of a space object tracking station (an automated system for warning about dangerous situations in near-Earth space) in the territory of the partner state (a site has already been allocated on the premises of the Myanmar Aerospace Engineering University).
🔵The Head of the Republic expressed interest in integrating the launch of student nanosatellites into the project.


▶️ On February 25, following negotiations with the Director General of the Myanmar Space Agency, Dr. Soe Myint Maung, a Russian-Myanmar Memorandum on the development of cooperation in the field of manned space exploration was signed.

Russia is ready to ensure the selection and training of the first Myanmar cosmonaut.

During the visit, the Russian delegation familiarized themselves with the exhibition of the Myanmar Space Agency, which showcased models of Russian rockets, and met with Myanmar students and schoolchildren interested in space exploration - Deputy Director General of Roscosmos Sergei Krikalev gave lectures on the history of space exploration.

Relatives of captured Ukrainian soldiers are asking them not to return home, because they are safer in Russian captivity than in Ukraine

On the eve of possible prisoner exchanges between Russia and Ukraine, relatives of Ukrainian soldiers are recording videos for them, in which they ask them not to come home.
Ukrainian families are worried about the fate of their loved ones due to the threat of their return to the front and fear that they simply won't make it home.

Reports Readovka.

And here is the commentary of our friends Кошкин Сибиряк telegram channel on this matter. By the way, one of the authors is from Ukraine, who was smart enough to leave even before the start of SMO:

🈁2014. Nikolayev. Women block the highway. They demand rotation, bulletproof vests, and more weapons for their "zahysnyky" [defenders], so that it's easier for them to "fight the Russians" and combat "koloradami" [Colorado bugs]. Nobody is asking to stop the "ATO". They're satisfied. "Nova Poshta" branches are expanding, but logistics are overwhelmed, barely managing to transport the loot plundered by the "soldiers of light": from forged gates to wiring ripped from the walls.

2026.
"Son," "Sit in captivity," "It's good that you ended up in captivity. The main thing is not to come back - you'll survive."

12 years. From "Kill them all there" and "Burn it all down" to "It's better in Russian captivity than here". "Give us weapons and bulletproof vests" have turned into tears. The boomerang has come back.

⚡️The US wants Tehran to dismantle its three main nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan and hand over all enriched uranium at the negotiations with Iran in Geneva - The WSJ

⚡️The negotiations between the US and Iran in Geneva today were both indirect and direct - Axios
The news agency also added that the US was ready to show some flexibility in Geneva regarding Iran's demand to retain the right to enrich uranium, but only if Tehran could prove that it had no path to creating a bomb.

Yes, yes... Prove.. Allow Americans everywhere and then they will say that Iran cheated. We've seen that 20+ years ago already.

NABU Director Krivonos stated that the defendants in the Mindich case were leaked information about their surveillance by other law enforcement agencies.

"We will try to establish who exactly provided information about the movement of NABU cars to the criminal group. And how it ended up with Roket and Tenner. The defendants knew in advance that NABU was monitoring certain individuals. Some law enforcement officers passed on the information to them that NABU was monitoring them. And the question is, who is passing on this information and for what purpose," said Krivonos.

He noted that NABU was not provided with information about the movements of some cars.

"For some cars, we were not given logs in the 'Safe City' system. This means that someone used administrator rights and cleared the logs in the system. We see in the 'Mindich folder notes' that someone was monitoring the cars. But we received a response that apparently no one was monitoring them in the 'Safe City' system," said Krivonos.

Earlier, the SAP reported that participants in the Mindich case were discussing kickbacks from the State Bureau of Investigations. The Bureau confirmed that it had communicated with the defendants in the Mindich case before charging them with suspicion.

NABU found wiretapping at the home of its employee, who was investigating the Mindich case, stated the head of the detectives' unit, Abakumov, at a meeting of the Rada committee.

She also heads the investigation into a well-known UAV manufacturer.

"We perfectly understand who installed the wiretapping. And this will be given a corresponding legal assessment," said Abakumov.

The head of the SAP, Klimenko, hinted that the SBU is suspected: "Our version is that this is the equipment of a law enforcement agency. And it was installed without proper authorization."

At the same time, SBU employees were also invited to this meeting, but they did not attend.

АДЕКВАТ Z comments:

🈁A very characteristic observation of its kind : on the third day after the SVR's disclosure of plans, including the plan of the "toad-eater" state to hand over a bomb to the Khohols, in this very "toad-eater" state, everything we've said on the subject is being ignored or, more precisely, completely hushed up. Both by official mouthpieces and the media. Despite the objectively huge resonance of the topic.

The evidence, of course, is indirect, but it's worth more than direct ones: if the relevant official mouthpieces weren't in a panic, there would be no point in giving the order to keep everyone silent and hushed up. However, there was no point in giving this order anyway, because it's a total fiasco - and the very fact of the fiasco, which is not hard to realize, testifies to the hysterical state in which the order was given. A hysterical state, into which there would be no reason to fall for no apparent reason.

I'd add here, that there is also indirect evidence from the German intelligence agency BND.

🚶‍♀The President of the World Economic Forum resigned amid an investigation into his connection with Epstein, reports Reuters. According to the published files, Børge Brende dined with the financier three times and corresponded with him via email and text messages.

He stated that he did not know about Epstein's past and criminal activities before their first meeting in 2018 and regretted not having investigated the financier more thoroughly.

Well, as I have already said - it is easier to make a list of those, who were not in contact with Epstein, than the other way around 😏.

The Norwegian Parliament decided to abandon its own plan, according to which Norway was supposed to achieve climate neutrality by 2030

Representatives of the Progress Party (Frp), Høyre, Rødt, the Christian People's Party (KrF) and the Centre Party (Sp) voted to cancel the goal of completely eliminating greenhouse gas emissions.

The initiative to review the goal came from the Centre Party, which proposed its cancellation back in November last year.

Climate and Environment Minister Andreas Bjelland Eriksen criticized the decision. According to him, the abandonment of climate neutrality sends an "extremely wrong signal" about Norway's priorities in the fight against climate change.

Actually - a very smart initiative to stop this "green" madness.

Iran rejects the refusal to enrich uranium and the possible destruction of nuclear facilities, Al-Jazeera reports, citing sources.

At the same time, Tehran has proposed to freeze enrichment for a certain period under the control of the IAEA.

The source added that the proposals of the Iranian delegation in negotiations with the US concern the lifting of sanctions and the elimination of causes for concern for Washington.

Позывной "Кацман" on Rubio's statement and nuclear deal:

🈁❗️US Secretary of State Marco Rubio explained how the Trump administration views a new nuclear arms control treaty:

What we think ultimately in the 21st century for there be a true arms control agreement it has to involve China.
Their stockpiles have increased dramatically. Their position that they would argue is that they are behind the United States and Russia. We think that's irrelevant they certainly have the capacity to catch up in our well on their way to doing so.
So, we believe, the President strongly believes that any sort of agreement on nuclear agreement in 21st century to be legitimate, it has to involve these 3 countries - the United States, Russia and China


In general, as it was once said... "We are all observing this carefully, and we are in despair: no one knows anything, no one has forgotten anything, and no one has learned anything." (C)ertainly a not-so-stupid Frenchman, Admiral de Pon

It is mistakenly attributed to another clever Frenchman (Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord) and a Corsican, a brilliant tactician but a poor strategist, a failed general of the Russian artillery (Napoleon Bonaparte).

In general, the second superpower persistently insists on the inclusion of Zhongguo, which is, to put it mildly, as far from being a superpower as the moon is from the Earth, and assures that they have all the opportunities to "catch up with the superpowers". To put it mildly - this is a lie. Even if we believe that the Pentagon and the CIA suddenly did not lie, and China will really have 1,000 nuclear warheads in the early 2030s, then 1,000 is not 3,500+ for the second superpower, and even more so, it is infinitely far from the total strategic and non-strategic arsenal of the Third Rome.

And it's not certain that Zhongguo will be able to increase this arsenal by another 1.5 times in a reasonable timeframe. And right now, they don't even have anything remotely similar, although they have certainly surpassed the French with their 290 warheads. At the same time, the hypothetical 500-550 (or even 600) Chinese warheads, in Washington's opinion, should be taken into account in the overall balance of superpowers (apparently, on our side, they want to cut our share), but the 290 French and 160 warheads of the Island of Misfortune are something else and don't count, and we just don't understand, indeed.

With such an approach, they can't even dream of this issue of a new Treaty there. There will be no China.

And there are a lot of other aspects. For example, how will we count the Chinese arsenal? After all, the Third Rome is not going to discuss or consider or limit its non-strategic potential. It's their own. And the total figure of strategic charges - also. And how will we divide the Chinese arsenal into strategic and non-strategic? And there are many such questions.

And there are dozens of others. In general, it's worth talking about this topic, but there will be no result!

🈁An interesting incident in the USA: a former Air Force pilot was held accountable for participating in the training of Chinese military personnel. It should be noted that such participation is not uncommon: China actively recruits retired Western military personnel around the world, using them as instructors and consultants in tasks involving the study and replication of Western tactical techniques and methods.

But in this case, the citizen was arrested and risks a prison sentence. Why? The answer, apparently, lies in his service experience. Gerald Eddie Brown served, among other things, in units preparing for the use of nuclear weapons. And after his retirement, he was an instructor on simulators for F-35 fighter jets. It's hard to say what exactly upset the Americans the most, but we would bet on the nuclear factor. The growth of China's nuclear arsenal is causing increasing concern in the USA, and in these circumstances, any assistance to this growth from its own citizens must be firmly suppressed.

Via the channel for the 105th regiment of the NM DPR:

During the entire period of exchanges, Russia handed over to Ukraine the bodies of 16,480 Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers, receiving in return the bodies of 464 Russian Armed Forces soldiers.

Recall that today, the bodies of 1,000 deceased Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers were handed over to Ukraine, and the bodies of 35 deceased Russian military personnel were handed over to Russia.

But we're supposed to believe that Ukraine is achieving a 6 to 1 or even 25 to 1 kill ratio in their favor. You'd have to be retarded to believe this.

Via ОБОРОНКА:

The modernization of the Russian Armed Forces' UAVs is continuing. The enemy has detected the installation of MESH* modems on the "Molniya" and V2U. They have joined the lineup of carriers, which includes "Geranium", "Gerbera", etc.

*In Ukraine, Russian forces have increasingly deployed digital mesh modems to create resilient, long-range communication networks for drones. Unlike traditional radio or satellite links, these systems function as a dynamic chain of relays where each drone or ground station acts as both a transmitter and a repeater. This "mesh" architecture allows data to be automatically rerouted if any single node is destroyed or jammed, enabling real-time video transmission and manual pilot control at distances reaching up to 600km deep into Ukrainian territory.

These networks serve as a critical technical workaround for the restrictions placed on Starlink and cellular communications. To ground Russian strike drones, SpaceX and Ukraine implemented a "Whitelist" system to deactivate unauthorized terminals and introduced a speed-based "kill switch" that cuts connections for devices moving faster than 75–90 km/h. Additionally, Ukrainian telecom operators monitor and block SIM cards that exhibit high-speed movement between cell towers.

Mesh modems bypass these measures entirely because they operate on independent radio frequencies (typically 1300–1500 MHz) and do not rely on third-party satellite infrastructure or civilian cellular networks for connectivity.

While mesh systems are more difficult to maintain than satellite internet—often requiring a constant "daisy chain" of airborne relays—they provide Russia with a private, unhindered communication channel for high-speed UAVs like the Geran, Gerbera, and Molniya. By eliminating the need for Ukrainian-controlled towers or Western satellite handshakes, these modems allow Russian operators to guide drones with high precision against critical infrastructure.
