It's important to note that approximately 40% of Ukraine's resources are currently under Russian control, it is speculated that the deal would effectively leave Ukraine’s mineral-rich territories under Russian control, while granting the U.S. exclusive access to resources in non-occupied areas.
If a deal is signed:
❔The frontline would freeze and give Russia the time to solidify positions and legitimize control in occupied regions.
❔Meanwhile both Russia and the U.S. would be extracting resources, making the occupied regions dependent on Russia and the rest dependent on the U.S.
❔It could also be possible that the lifting of sanctions and the restoring of Nord Stream 2 pipeline will be added to the deal, effectively reviving the Russian economy and the European energy dependence on Russia.

❗️It is also of interest that on Feb 21 - U.S. negotiators have raised the possibility of cutting access to Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet system if the deal is not signed. (Reuters)
This would effectively cripple Ukrainian defense and offense capabilities since the front lines heavily rely on this technology for communications.

❗️This is a major shift in the geopolitical stage, it shows that U.S. support is now tied to purely economic benefits rather than than strategic or ideological commitments to sovereignty and security.
We are already witnessing steps being taken toward EU independence from the U.S. :
Macron suggested extending France's nuclear deterrence to cover Europe.
U.K. and France made a proposal to deploy troops in UKR
Norwegian oil and shipping company Haltbakk Bunkers started a “boycott U.S.” movement by denying fuel to U.S. sub.
EU leaders already started security talks that exclude the U.S.
The current U.S. stance on Nato is fragile and could potentially mean the end of this organization as we know it.

U.S. negotiators have raised the possibility of cutting access to Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet system if the deal is not signed.
Audio
📣🛰 Following comments by Elon Musk, The European Union is now actively exploring satellite alternatives to Starlink for Ukraine.
🤝 Negotiations are underway with alternative satellite operators: SES, Hisdesat, Viasat, and Eutelsat/OneWeb.
These discussions aim to create a "patchwork" of European infrastructure that could partially replace Starlink's services.
🔹 The EU is also considering its own satellite communication initiatives:
- GovSatCom: A pooled network of existing national government satellite capacity, expected to reach initial operational readiness in 2025.
- IRIS²: A planned constellation of 290 satellites (18 in MEO and 264 in LEO) led by Eutelsat, Hispasat, and SES, though not expected to be fully operational until the 2030s.
❗️🇮🇹 It is also important to note that Italy is in the final stages of talks for a $1.6b deal with Starlink that could very well be cancelled. The deal was initiated to provide secure internet services for the Italian government and military.

🛫 💥 Ukraine launched the biggest drone attack on Moscow since the war began using 337 UAVs out of which 91 were reportedly intercepted.
🩸3 people were killed and 18 others injured, including 3 children.
❔ The attack appears to be a calculated move by Kyiv to demonstrate its continued offensive capabilities and potentially strengthen its negotiating position.
🚀 Russia has now threatened a retaliatory strike and suggested using an Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile for that purpose.
This would be the same type of munition used in November of 2024.
