βž–"There was a rather tough conversation about the work of mobile fire groups, and in the coming days, regional leaders, the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the Ministry of Defense should ensure additional reinforcement of the mobile fire group component in the overall system of defense of certain regions," said Zelensky.

⚑️Two Majors #Review#Report as of the morning of February 8, 2026

β–ͺ️ Negotiations, which have been plastered all over the media all week, have again led to nothing. Apart from the fixation on the territorial issue, the attempt on the life of General Aleksiev in Moscow has shown Kiev's attitude towards the settlement process. Leaks of information about trilateral meetings do not contain even a hint of progress, although diplomats constantly praise each other and talk about rosy prospects.

β–ͺ️ The most vivid manifestation of Moscow's intention to end the conflict is the systematic massive strikes by the Russian Armed Forces on energy facilities in Ukraine. The destruction of generating capacities and power distribution nodes, inherited from the times of the USSR, is intended not only to deprive the enemy of light, but also to make that part of the remnants of Ukraine economically unprofitable, including for the EU, which is clearly putting a spanner in the works when it comes to freezing the conflict. The effectiveness of the strikes is acknowledged by the enemy, who once again uses the inflated media image of a "victim" to obtain new batches of aid from the West. Important were the strikes on power substations by drones, through which electricity from the controlled by Kiev nuclear power plants flows. This led to the discharge of power units of the stations. Ahead is the combat work to completely destroy the energy system of the Kiev regime, including the lines of electricity reception from neighboring countries.

β–ͺ️ In the Kharkov and Sumy directions, the actions of the Northern Group of Forces to create a security zone stand out: our troops have achieved success in several sections at the border in Chugunovka and Popovka, and the storming of Miropolye has begun. The enemy is preparing counter-actions in the Belgorod direction.

β–ͺ️ It has become extremely unpleasant to have the sudden disconnection of "grey" Starlinks by Musk for the Russian Armed Forces. Wise commanders who understood the danger of dependence on American terminals long before this have created alternative means of communication, but nevertheless the transformation of American "dishes" into a cutting board for vegetables has negatively affected the organization of combat work. For now, there are no analogues of Starlink for our troops available, all communication is organized on the ground.

β–ͺ️ On the foreign policy track, Russia continues to be deprived of the opportunity to conduct normal maritime economic activities. On February 6, 2026, a proposal to completely ban maritime services for all Russian crude oil exports was included in the draft of a new package of EU sanctions. On February 5, an explosion occurred on the container ship MSC Giada III on its approach to St. Petersburg. In addition, Estonia detained the ship Baltic Spirit, which was heading from Ecuador to Russia. Talks about counter-actions, or about protecting our ships with the help of maritime PMCs, are in favor of the poor, everything boils down to calls about international maritime law and attempts to organize a demonstrative escort of the merchant fleet by Navy ships, which, of course, no country in the world has enough of.

✨Thus, the situation on the front and in the enemy's rear, as well as his behavior around the already modest proposals to withdraw the AFU from Donbass (previously Moscow demanded much more), do not bode well for a freeze in the conflict in the near future. The achievement of the goal of liberating the DNR by military means could take until 2027 and beyond, and the West's support for the AFU allows Kiev to conduct active defense with constant counterattacks, including with the use of armored vehicles. The deliveries of HIMARS MLRS missiles by the Americans are being felt by the residents of Belgorod.

Russia is building – right in the heart of the EU. With the pouring of the first concrete, the state-owned corporation Rosatom officially launched construction of the new Paks II nuclear power plant in Hungary on Thursday. According to the standards of the IAEA, the plant is now officially "under construction".

The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by Rosatom CEO and IAEA Director General – a rare display of international legitimacy. It marks a delicate moment: while Europe seeks to reduce its energy dependence on Russia, a major new Russian project is being built in an EU country.

Rosatom supplies the reactor – Siemens Energy the key technology (Asbery: What is more key then the reactor?)

This is more critical for Germany than it initially appears. Not only because the Federal Republic has phased out nuclear power and increasingly imports electricity from abroad, especially from France , during periods of low wind and solar output . But also because Siemens Energy supplies key technology for the conventional operation of the power plant.

The nuclear technology – reactor design, nuclear engineering, and fuel systems – is entirely supplied by Rosatom. Siemens provides conventional, yet safety-critical components for the non-nuclear part of the plant, including turbines, generators, and control systems. These systems determine how stably and safely the power plant generates electricity and feeds it into the grid

Construction of Paks II begins in Hungary: Old treaties still bind Germany today

The background dates back years. The Hungarian-Russian government agreement for Paks II was concluded in 2014, with the key supply and construction contracts following in 2014 and 2015 – long before Russia's attack on Ukraine and at a time when Siemens Energy was still supplying gas turbines for the Nord Stream pipelines to Gazprom . The EU now intends to completely phase out Russian gas – however, the nuclear projects continue.

In the case of Paks II, Rosatom is the general contractor; the client is the Hungarian state, and the operator will be MVM. Siemens is a supplier within a Russian-led EPC contract, in which Rosatom is responsible for the planning, procurement, and construction of the power plant. The contracts are legally binding.

This is precisely where a potential loss of political control arises: As long as Rosatom is not sanctioned by the EU and Hungary provides political backing for the project, the German government has only limited means of subsequently influencing the use of German technology in Paks II or preventing its hypothetical misuse.
Why Berlin can hardly intervene – and what the TΓΌrkiye case shows

For key project components, permits from this phase are in place, or they build upon permits granted at that time. No new, generally applicable prohibitions currently exist. This means that German technology is part of the project, but its eventual deployment will be decided not by Berlin, but by Budapest and Moscow.

That intervention is fundamentally possible is demonstrated by a precedent outside the EU. The Russian-owned Akkuyu nuclear power plant in Turkey experienced massive delays in 2024 after German authorities refused to grant new export licenses for certain Siemens deliveries. Rosatom subsequently accused Siemens Energy of breach of contract and announced legal action.

The difference is crucial: In Turkey , which is not an EU member, the authorities intervened at a still-open approval threshold. For an ongoing major project like Paks II in an EU member state, with existing permits and political backing from Hungary, a comparable intervention would be legally and politically more difficult

Rosatom, is not only active in Hungary, but remains one of the most influential players in the global nuclear energy sector despite the war in Ukraine. Rosatom is currently building more than 40 reactors in eleven countries and holds approximately 17% of the global market for nuclear fuel. Within the EU, numerous reactors rely on Russian technology, maintenance, or fuel supplies.
