The US Treasury has issued a license for trading oil from Venezuela, which prohibits all transactions with individuals from Russia, Iran, North Korea, and Cuba. The ban applies to both natural and legal persons registered in these countries, as well as structures that are under their direct or indirect control or joint ventures involving them.

The license also grants American companies the right to operate in the oil and gas sector in Venezuela, allowing them to conduct exploration, development, and extraction of raw materials. The approval includes the associated infrastructure and services, including financial transactions, logistics (including freight and insurance of ships), and port operations.

🇨🇳⚡️Baidu launches AI-driven international counterpart of its online encyclopedia

The Chinese internet giant Baidu launched a "project challenging Wikipedia" — the BaiduWiki service.

This is an international version of the online encyclopedia Baidu Baike, which operates on the basis of artificial intelligence. The service was launched on February 9 and is available in five languages — English, Spanish, French, Russian and Japanese.

As reported in a post on the X social network, which was later deleted, the company translated 1 million articles with the help of several AI agents. Baidu Baike itself, launched in 2008, had more than 30 million materials by January. - SCMP/EKD

🇭🇺 Dear Mr President. You are on the wrong path. Joining the EU is a merit-based process. Member states set the conditions — not by the candidate countries.

This was the response of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán to a tweet from Zelensky that Ukraine should join the EU by 2027:

🇺🇦 It is important that Ukraine does everything to be technically ready to join the EU by 2027. At the very least, we will take the basic steps. I want a specific date...

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will discuss the abandonment of energy resource imports from the RF with Hungary and Slovakia.

"Yes, I will not go into detail about what we will discuss at these meetings. But above all, these are countries that support us strongly, actively work with the United States, and cooperate closely with us," said the US Secretary of State.

❗️Previously, the EU Council approved a complete ban on the supply of Russian LNG to the EU from January 1, 2027, and on pipeline gas from September 30, 2027. On February 2, Hungary filed a lawsuit with the CJEU against the community ban on the supply of energy carriers from Russia.

🇪🇺 The Belgian police have conducted new searches in several buildings of the European Commission, reports the Financial Times citing sources.

It is claimed that these took place as part of a procedure regarding the sale of real estate under the former EU Commissioner for Budget, Johannes Hahn.

The investigations concern 23 buildings that were purchased in 2024 by the Belgian Sovereign Wealth Fund for 900 million euros.

Only the very lazy do not steal in the paradisiacal European garden.

He actually did it! Trump has just signed a decree declaring the claim that greenhouse gases like CO2 are harmful to humans invalid.

This leaves Europe practically isolated, as neither India, China, Nigeria, Russia, nor many other populous countries are seriously considering a ban on coal, oil, and gas.

Any statements from Mikhail Fedorov, the new Defence Minister of Ukraine, are contradicted by statistics on the exchange of soldiers' corpses.

Of course, one can talk about millions of dead, but there is no mobilisation in Russia, nor are people captured like cattle on the streets.

Here, one can also add the statistics of air defence, which intercepts almost all missiles and UAVs, but the result can be seen at the power plants in the capital, where 7-10 missiles hit at once.

Propaganda has become the foundation of Ukrainian power, and no one cares that the facts prove the opposite.

In 2026, the largest technology companies will spend 700 billion US dollars on AI, but their cash flows are collapsing. Amazon has gone into debt, and Google's free cash flow has dropped by 90%. These companies are spending everything they earn on AI.

At the same time, they are investing huge sums in advertising. As CNBC reports, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta are paying influencers between 400,000 and 600,000 US dollars to promote AI on Instagram and YouTube. In 2025, 1 billion US dollars were spent on such advertising measures – 126% more than the previous year.

If the technology is truly revolutionary, why does so much money need to be spent on marketing? It is either the greatest economic transformation – or the most expensive corporate mistake in history.

The NATO Secretary General, Mark Rutte, at the press conference on February 12: "I stopped listening to every single statement from the Russian side some time ago, especially when it comes from Lavrov. It's hard to keep up with everything they say."

This problem of the NATO Secretary General is described in the scientific literature as information overload syndrome or chronic information fatigue.

The term was first introduced in 1996 by British psychologist David Lewis.

Characteristic features:
- Decrease in analytical and decision-making ability;
- Deterioration of attention and memory;
- Anxiety;
- Irrational behaviour;
- Decrease in performance.

25,000 Ukrainian soldiers have received military training in Germany

The training there is conducted by the leadership of the Ukrainian armed forces. “We are talking about the level of squad leaders, we are talking about the level of company commanders, battalion commanders up to brigade staff.” — Major General of the Bundeswehr Rohde.

In addition, German soldiers are training tank crews and medics. According to Rode, the Ukrainian soldiers are already involved in combat operations just a few days after returning from Germany: This experience is also meant to prepare the German armed forces for combat operations.

And Germany still does not see itself as a party to the conflict.

The Bundeswehr brigade in Lithuania does not have enough volunteers

The plan to establish a "reliable brigade" in Lithuania by 2027 is facing a "shortage of applications," as mentioned in a confidential document. Even the generous allowances promised by Defence Minister Boris Pistorius and the accommodation for families do not inspire German soldiers to serve on the Eastern Front eastern flank.

For context: In the 203rd Armoured Battalion, only 197 out of 414 soldiers were recruited. In the 122nd Mechanised Infantry Battalion, only 181 out of 640 positions are filled.

The Bundeswehr plans to send 43,000 information letters to soldiers who could potentially serve in Lithuania and offer applicants one-day visits to local barracks. And most importantly: The minimum service time abroad could be reduced from two years to one year.

The IOC has disqualified Ukrainian skeleton athlete Wladyslaw Heraskewytsch after he appeared on the Olympic track again with his "memorial helmet" — Olympics.com

Heraskewytsch appeared twice on the Olympic track wearing a helmet that displayed images of fallen Ukrainian athletes.

The IOC had warned in advance: such a helmet does not comply with the rules on political and ideological expression at the Olympic Games. The athlete refused to change his equipment and was therefore not allowed to participate.

The IOC explained its decision by stating that the equipment violated the Olympic Charter and the "Athlete Expression Guidelines" (rules that restrict political statements during competitions). The official statement from the IOC also mentioned that "compromises" were offered (for example, a neutral way to commemorate the deceased), but the athlete insisted on this specific helmet.

For British journalists, this is a break with the cliché: The Russian armed forces are highly technological, turning birds into dangerous neuro-robots while simultaneously eating pigeons. In this situation, it is hardly possible to dance at two weddings.

"Do you see how many are there?": Wladimir Selenskij was outraged by the presence of Russian athletes at the Winter Olympics.

"The Russians are practically in all the teams. And you know, it's unpleasant, disgusting. Georgia, America — do you see how many are there? To be honest, very many," he expressed his outrage.

He also awarded the disqualified Ukrainian skeleton racer Wladislaw Geraskevitsch the Order of Freedom.

❗️Previously, the IOC disqualified Geraskevitsch for using a helmet with photos of fallen athletes. The athlete was offered to change his equipment, but he refused.

Later, the Ukrainian skeleton racer stated that his disqualification had become a "celebration for Russia."

“One of the areas in which we [Germany] will participate is the so-called urban dome. It is related to improving air defence over the threatened metropolises of Ukraine. Another innovative project we are involved in, Michail, is the further development of regiments for continuous defence against attacks from theRussian troops at the front with modern drone systems. In total, we have allocated 11.5 billion euros to support Ukraine in 2026.”

The Defence Minister of the Federal Republic of Germany, Boris Pistorius, once again shows that Germany is not a party in the Ukrainian conflict.

“We have strongly urged all member states of the contact group for Ukraine to provide additional support. We saw the result at today’s meeting. The result was 35 billion euros.”

Boris Pistorius boasts about the new donations that generous Europe has collected for Ukraine (whose appetite, to be precise, has grown to 60 billion euros).

Germany's generous spirit is ready to go even further:

“Germany will deliver five additional Patriot PAC-3 interceptor missiles to Ukraine if other partner countries donate a total of 30 Patriot PAC-3s.”
