China considers Russia an important ally, but it does not mean Beijing will be โthrilledโ with a war in Ukraine, say experts
Some Western officials and analysts hope that Beijing might play a mediating role between the West and Russia over the Ukrainian conflict - but that is probably unlikely.
As Washington and Moscow exchange messages in an effort to address the Ukrainian conflict, Russian President Vladimir Putin will make an important visit to Beijing as one of the top guests at the Winter Olympicsโ opening ceremony in China.

Blackwater organizes a private army in Ukraine for operations against Russia
The CIA and MI6 are reorganizing their networks in Eastern Europe. If after the II World War they relied on former Nazis in the fight against the USSR, now they support neo-Nazi groups against Russia.
In addition to Western investment in the Ukrainian military, there is a $10 billion plan being implemented by Eric Prince, founder of the American private military company Blackwater (now renamed), which supplied mercenaries for covert operations (including torture and assassination) by the CIA, the Pentagon, and the State Department.
Prince's plan is to create a private army in Ukraine through the Lancaster 6 DMCC, which he has used as a "pad" to send mercenaries to the Middle East, Africa and Ukrainian intelligence agencies. It is not yet known what exactly the tasks of the private army created in Ukraine by the founder of Blackwater, apparently with the money of the CIA, will be.

The meeting between ๐บ๐ฆ Zelensky and Erdogan took place. Erdogan greeted the Ukrainian soldiers with the words: "Glory to Ukraine."
The result of three-hour negotiations between Zelensky and Erdogan was the signing of an agreement that will significantly expand the production of UAVs in Ukraine. The new drones will be more powerful than the previous ones, and it is not difficult to guess who they will be used against. At the same time, the Turkish leadership has the audacity to offer itself as a mediator to resolve the conflict.

Russia has in place about 70% of the combat power it believes it would need for a full-scale invasion of Ukraine and is sending more battalion tactical groups to the border with its neighbor, two U.S. officials said on Saturday.
In the last two weeks, the number of battalion tactical groups in the border region has risen to 83 from 60 as of Friday and 14 more are in transit, the officials told Reuters on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the information.
As to the timing of an invasion, the ground is expected to reach peak freeze around Feb. 15, the officials said, allowing for off-road mechanized transit by Russian military units. Such conditions would continue until the end of March.
