Via Sofa General Staff:
43rd brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which is being killed by its own commanders on the line of contact in the Kupyansk direction.
In the video, there is panic among Ukrainian soldiers from the realization that there will be no help and they are facing imminent death — either from the attacks of Russian FPV drones or from weather conditions.
Here, in these shots from the positions, we can see the realities that the Armed Forces of Ukraine face daily, namely: cold, lack of rotation and evacuation of the wounded, unsanitary conditions, which ultimately lead to death. This is where Kyiv sends to slaughter those who it mobilizes on the streets of its own cities.
The very truth that will never be shown on the air of the Ukrainian TV marathon.

The European Union is putting pressure on Ukraine to speed up the repair of the "Druzhba" oil pipeline, through which Russian oil is supplied to Hungary and Slovakia. This was reported by "Radio Liberty."
The European Commission confirmed that it is in constant contact with the Ukrainian authorities and is striving for the earliest possible restoration of supplies following the damage to the pipeline in late January.
However, Brussels argues that there are no short-term risks to the energy security of Hungary and Slovakia, as the countries have strategic oil reserves.
Amid the suspension of pumping, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico accused Kyiv of delaying the process and called the situation "political blackmail." Earlier in Ukraine, it was stated that the damage occurred as a result of a drone strike.

More details about Ukraine's dissatisfaction with negotiations with Medinsky: Zelensky says "we don't have time for all this nonsense"
Axios writes that, given the change in leadership, Zelensky fears that the Russian delegation will try to turn the negotiations into a meeting or return to the starting point in order to buy time for Russia on the battlefield.
He notes that, like Putin, Medinsky likes to philosophize about the "historical roots" of the war. "We don't have time for all this nonsense. Therefore, we must make a decision and end the war," said Zelensky.
⚡️The negotiations on Ukraine in Geneva have concluded, having lasted just over an hour today
The negotiations were difficult, but businesslike, Medinsky stated, adding that a new round will take place soon.

Trump is close to launching a large-scale war against Iran in the near future, reports Axios, citing sources.
"The boss is starting to lose patience. Some of his entourage are warning him against a war with Iran, but I think the likelihood of military action in the next few weeks is 90%," said one of the US president's advisors.
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham stated that strikes could begin in a few weeks. Other sources claim that the timeline could be shorter.
According to two Israeli officials, the Israeli government is already preparing for war in the coming days.
This time, the US may not go it alone in striking Iran, as it did last summer, but launch a large-scale, weeks-long military campaign together with Israel.

🇷🇺🇺🇸Russia proposed to the US a "deal of the century", which could bring Putin and Trump Nobel Prizes, — The Economist
- In Europe, fears are growing that Trump may force Ukraine to make destructive concessions by June — his last deadline for achieving peace.
- Special representatives Dmitriev and Whitcoff have met at least 9 times since April last year; they discussed deals on Arctic oil and gas, rare earth mines, a nuclear data processing center, and a tunnel under the Bering Strait.
- Lifting sanctions will require lengthy coordination, including approval by the US Congress, and it's unlikely that Europe will support the initiative.

It could assist Israel in intercepting Iranian ballistic missiles from this position. Alternatively, it could continue to the Gulf of Oman for offensive operations against Iran, which would take about 10-12 days.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷/🇯🇴 A short note on Muwaffaq Salti airbase in Jordan, and why Iran may not strike it (although I argue they should):
For striking Muwaffaq Salti airbase, which currently hosts the majority of U.S. aerial assets (F-35s, F-15s etc.), Iran would need to utilize its longer range ballistic missiles. The vast majority of Iran's ballistic missile stockpile are SRBMs that are capable of striking U.S. bases in countries like Qatar and the UAE, but that are incapable of reaching Jordan. Iran has spent significant resources to increase its stockpile of long-range missiles since the 12-Day War, but no stockpile is infinite.
Iran's long range missiles are more valuable, exist in more limited numbers, and they would likely be prioritized to target Israel. Using these missiles to strike U.S. forces in Jordan instead of Israel may be perceived as a waste by Iran, especially considering the large amount of air defenses that have been deployed near the airbase.
This is also the main reason America is using Jordan as its primary staging grounds. It's not because Saudi Arabia and Qatar refuse to let their airspace be used, that's just the spin. It's simply because the U.S. has decided that it prefers to be outside the range of the majority of Iran's missile arsenal.

Israel would not support the creation of an independent Druze state, and that the Druze destination will be with Damascus," - Druze sources tell al-Jazeera.

The US is withdrawing about a thousand military personnel from Syria as part of the completion of the military operation in the country, reports The Wall Street Journal, citing sources.
"A large-scale US presence in Syria is no longer necessary, given the readiness of the Syrian government to take on the main responsibility for combating the terrorist threat within its borders," a source in the US administration told the publication.
The US Central Command earlier confirmed the completion of the withdrawal of American troops from the Al-Tanf base in southern Syria.
According to WSJ, the withdrawal of troops from other American facilities will be carried out over the next two months.
