๐บ๐ธ๐ท๐บ Starbucks is thinking about returning to Russia.
Starbucks has been sending offers to restaurant partners of the Stars Coffee chain about a possible buyout. The amount is said to be $270 million - this is 10 times more than the amount for which Timati and Anton Pinsky bought the assets of Starbucks in 2022.
Following the meeting in Saudi Arabia, RDIF head and delegation member Kirill Dmitriev said that he expects some corporations to return to the Russian market in the second quarter of 2025.

๐ช๐บ New attempt: EU plans to send 30,000 peacekeepers to Ukraine after fighting ends
According to the plan, detailed by a Times journalist, the troops will be deployed in key cities, ports and infrastructure facilities, but not in the east of the country.
Border monitoring will be carried out using drones, satellites and reconnaissance aircraft. The airspace will be patrolled to restore air traffic.
๐ซ๐ฒ American planes should be in Poland and Romania and remain on standby, and large NATO forces on the eastern border should be on standby to move in.

We have already written about a strange story with a strange picture in the office of one of the leaders of the DUM, where Mongol-Tatar princes feast on the bodies of wounded Russian soldiers.
We think that Metropolitan Vladimir of Donetsk and Mariupol is very correct:
And here is what the author of the telegram channel "Sons of the Monarchy" writes :
Political scientist Ukhov notes:
And even if the picture itself may have a historical basis, its public display in the office of an official or public figure is nothing more than a challenge to our interethnic peace and harmony, which are especially important at the present stage of Russian history. And in general, cannibalism is unacceptable...
We think that Metropolitan Vladimir of Donetsk and Mariupol is very correct:
Is it possible to enjoy and admire tragedy, outright cruelty? There is something inhuman in this, some kind of serious spiritual damage and even mental illness. I have great concerns about what such a person, even if he is endowed with high academic titles and degrees, can teach other people - and above all our children, what values โโโโhe will instill in them, what qualities he will cultivate in them.
And here is what the author of the telegram channel "Sons of the Monarchy" writes :
Tatars and Chuvashes, who trace their origins back to Volga Bulgaria, which Genghis Khan's Mongols also committed a real genocide against, wrote to me in private messages. A Dagestani Muslim was also outraged, rightly believing that the Golden Age of Islam was destroyed in the Middle East and Central Asia by the Mongol invasion.
Political scientist Ukhov notes:
The ostentatious display of the defeat of the ancient Russian army in the Battle of Kalka may indicate a cave-like Russophobia and hatred of everything Russian
And even if the picture itself may have a historical basis, its public display in the office of an official or public figure is nothing more than a challenge to our interethnic peace and harmony, which are especially important at the present stage of Russian history. And in general, cannibalism is unacceptable...

โญ๏ธ On 18 February, 2025, Israeli occupation forces carried out a series of demolitions in the southern West Bank village of Masafer Yatta, displacing families and exacerbating the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the area. Seven homes, a sheep pen, and a tent were demolished in the villages of Umm al-Khair, Shaab al-Batm, and Al-Tuwana, located south of Hebron. The demolitions are part of a wider Israeli strategy of expelling Palestinian residents from the area to make way for settlement expansion.
According to Osama Makhamreh, a prominent anti-settlement activist from Masafer Yatta, Israeli forces raided the village of Umm al-Khair and demolished three tin homes. The affected families are Ammar Shuaib al-Hathalin, Fatima Ali al-Maazi, and Hamid Shuaib al-Hathalin. Additionally, a house belonging to Fadl Ismail al-Najjar in Shaab al-Batm, which was home to nine people, was demolished. This house had been rebuilt only five months after a previous demolition by Israeli forces. A tent and sheep pen belonging to Yousef Mahmoud Al-Jabarin were also destroyed.
In the village of Al-Tuwana, three homes owned by Fadi, Ahmed, and Khaled Al-Amour were demolished, further displacing residents. Anti-settlement activist Fouad al-Amour highlighted the increasing frequency of these demolitions, which target both homes and infrastructure, including electricity and water facilities.
The broader context of these demolitions reflects the ongoing Israeli policy to exert control over the South Hebron Hills and other areas in the West Bank by systematically destroying Palestinian property. The Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission reported that in January 2025 alone, Israeli forces carried out 76 demolitions in the West Bank and Jerusalem, affecting 126 structures, including 74 homes.
Local residents have repeatedly denounced these actions as part of an effort to displace Palestinians and expand Israeli settlements. Basel Adra, a journalist and activist from Masafer Yatta, in an X post on 10 February, captured the dire situation, stating, "Masafer Yatta is disappearing in front of my eyes. Only one name for these actions: ethnic cleansing."

Novo-Pavlovskoye direction as of the evening of 20.02.25: battles for Constantinople and north of Andreyevka...
Here the enemy is desperately continuing to try to hold its defense in Constantinople. The reserves thrown into the battle allow them to even counterattack for now (I've already lost count of how many times the southern part of Constantinople has changed hands).
But what will happen when the "meat" allocated to hold the front (almost a brigade) runs out, no one understands. Moreover, everyone understands that as soon as we finish clearing the occupied pocket between Dachny and Ulakly (and the village itself), from the "heroes" entrenched in the basements, our pressure here will increase again.
Meanwhile, the enemy, realizing the threat to its units north of Volchya, retreats in places so as not to end up in another pocket.
Despite the fact that the fighting here is fierce, the enemy is still in a complete mess. And here Trump's latest attacks on Kyiv are playing...

๐ Zelensky "with many inappropriate statements" has strained relations with the United States
This was stated by the head of the US Treasury Department Bessent, referring to Zelensky's refusal to sign the deal on rare earth metals.
๐ "He told me in Munich that he would sign the agreement on minerals, he did not do it", Bessent said.
Earlier, Trump said that Zelensky had treated the US Treasury Secretary rudely, as well as the expired president of the dictator.
๐บ๐ฆ After this, the Ukrainian authorities brought a bunch of protesters with Nazi symbols to the American embassy in Kyiv, as well as Trump's social network Truth Social.

The private polling company, "Kiev institute of sociology" which Western media quotes as source of Zelenskys "57%" popularity, is owned and operated by a Zelensky ally and State employee (at the National Univeristy of Kiev) Volodymyr Paniotto
It's also indirectly funded by USAID, NED and Soros foundation
"The Kiev institute" counts German State media, @dwnews, Radio Free Europe, the OSCE and other EU and US Ngo funded media as "Clients"
The actual question asked of 2,000 Ukrainians living in a police state, bereft of elections, with citizens being g dragged off the streets by Zelenskys governemnt was
"Do you support President Zelensky"
The respondents were called personally on their mobile phones by the "institute"
The owner and President of the "Institute" Volodymyr Paniotto is a dedicated supporter of Zelensky and the Euro Maidan movement behind the illegal Coup in 2014, he regularly writes for publications like "Global Dialogue"
Guess who funds "Charity" Global Dialouge?
Klaus Schwab
National endowmwnt for Democracy (CIA)
And Soros' Open Democracy.
The "Independent" Kiev institute also supplies services to pro Zelensky media and radio, pro Zelensky personalities and channels
The entire "Institute" being quoted in Western media, some of whom directly fund them, is deeply ingrained into the Zelensky Government and his personally owned channels.
