Student working for FSB detained in Kharkiv

In Kharkiv, law enforcement officers detained a student who was collecting data for the enemy on the locations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and military equipment in the city.

The student photographed the locations and passed the information on to the FSB

At the beginning of 2024, an 18-year-old student of one of the universities in Kharkiv started communicating with an FSB employee from the Belgorod region of Russia through a messenger. He was promised a reward for cooperating with the enemy.

From a representative of the Russian special service, the student received the task of collecting data on the bases of the Ukrainian army and military equipment in Kharkiv. This information was necessary for Russia to plan a new offensive on the region.

The suspect walked around the city and tried to find the bases of the Ukrainian military.

He secretly photographed the locations, marked the coordinates on Google maps and passed them on to an FSB officer.

The police detained the student. A mobile phone with evidence of intelligence and subversive activities for the benefit of Russia was seized from him.

In addition, he managed to receive part of the funds in the amount of 10 thousand hryvnias for his "work" against the enemy.

The student was informed of suspicion of treason committed under martial law. The suspect was remanded in custody without bail.

A priest of the UOC-MP from Kherson has been charged with supporting the occupiers

The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) informed in absentia about the suspicion to the cleric of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate (UOC-MP), Nazar Shkil, who supported the accession of Kherson region to Russia and painted the entrance stele in the Russian "tricolor".

The figure as a cleric of the local UOC-MP during the occupation of Kherson supported the Russians and began to cooperate with them. He also urged believers to support a pseudo-referendum on the "joining" of the region to Russia.

Subsequently, gauleiter Saldo approved his ‘candidacy’ for the head of the local occupation organisation of the Russian Federation, which operated under the guise of a ‘public youth association’.

Holding this position, the cleric gathered like-minded people and painted a stele at the entrance to the then-occupied Kherson in the colours of the Russian flag. It is known that the suspect spoke about this on Russian central TV channels.

Defenders from the 429th Separate Regiment of Unmanned Systems "ACHILLES" were able to stop the Russian invaders in the Kupyan region. What's more, they even destroyed four enemy infantry fighting vehicles.

Points of attention

  • Efforts to focus on capturing strategic positions along the Oskil River reflect the enemy's current priorities, with intensified actions on both banks of the river.
  • Collaborative efforts between ACHILLES fighters, National Guard members, and paratroopers have been instrumental in detecting and countering enemy movements, leading to successful defense operations.

The Russian army was disgraced again in the Kupyan region

Yuriy Fedorenko, commander of the 429th separate regiment of unmanned systems "ACHILLES", reported on the new success of his soldiers on the battlefield.

According to him, on February 20, Russian invaders attempted to storm Ukrainian positions in the direction of the settlement of Lozova.

Against this background, the ACHILLES fighters, together with the National Guard members of the first presidential brigade "Bureva" and the paratroopers of the 77th airmobile brigade, decided to act decisively.

They managed to detect and burn enemy equipment in time.

What is important to understand is that the Russian army cannot make significant progress in the Kupyansk direction from the fall of 2024.

For example, a few days ago, the enemy stormed the positions of our troops near Petropavlivka and Nova Kruglyakivka: they were unsuccessful.

In recent months, the enemy has been trying to focus its efforts on capturing the left bank of the Oskil River, as well as crossing and establishing a foothold on the right bank. The ice-covered river simplifies this task, so the enemy is intensifying its efforts in this direction.

France and Italy prevent the EU from making an important decision on Ukraine

Opinions in the European Union are divided again
Source:  Spiegel

According to German journalists, official Paris and Rome stood in the way of the European Union when agreeing on a multi-billion dollar military support package for Ukraine.

Points of attention

  • The skepticism from Paris and Rome is fueled by concerns over national debt and aspirations to lead negotiations with the US, conflicting with the proposed aid package by Kai Kallas.
  • While Hungary and Slovakia's opposition is noted, the approval of the aid package is expected from willing member states, signaling a potential resolution despite dissenting voices.

Opinions in the European Union are divided again

The German publication Spiegel learned from its insiders in diplomatic circles about the difficulties within the bloc, which arose due to skepticism from the Maloney and Macron teams.

As it turned out, representatives of France and Italy do not believe that EU members can provide such large-scale funding for Ukraine.

One of the main reasons for their concern right now is the large national debt.

In addition, Italian and French leaders Giorgi Maloni and Emmanuel Macron are seeking to play a leading role in negotiations with the US on behalf of the European Union, while the proposal for a new package — which came from top EU diplomat Kai Kallas — contradicts this ambition, the publication notes.

In addition, it is noted that Hungary and Slovakia opposed the approval of the aid package for Ukraine.

According to anonymous sources, their opposition "plays a secondary role" as the package is likely to be adopted on behalf of willing member states, not the entire EU.
