"I performed sorties on F-16…
On the first day…
I tried this aircraft.
I liked it.
However, um…
in terms of its characteristics,
of course, it is significantly worse than Su-27.
Americans, in English, they call it a “dog fighter.”
It means a “dog free-for-for-all.”
We call it a close-quarters maneuverable fight.
That’s what it comes down to.
Here Su-27 is unparalleled.
There is nothing you can do about this."

Ukrainian forces are unlikely to be able to retake Crimea in the near future, four senior Pentagon officials said in speeches to the US Congress. They made a closed report to the defense committee, the newspaper Politico writes.

"The Pentagon does not believe that Ukraine has or will soon be able to push Russian troops out of the peninsula," sources said.

Another interlocutor familiar with the report said that "Ukraine's victory in the offensive to retake its illegally annexed territory is not guaranteed."

Speakers included Laura Cooper, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia, and Lieutenant General Douglas Sims, Chief of Operations at the Joint Staff.

Previously, such doubts were publicly expressed by the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley. According to Politico, after these words, "Zelensky's administration was furious as Ukraine prepares for a major offensive in the spring."

❗️The German Die Welt admits that the prospects for Ukraine in the conflict with Russia are not very bright.

The AFU is running out of men and materiel, and the Russians are better able to adapt and have a huge amount of supplies. That is why Western diplomats are now increasingly talking about a ceasefire. And Western support for Ukraine is now carried out only at the level so that it simply does not have to capitulate immediately.

❗️Ukraine must account for all stolen aid sent, - The Washington Post.

According to the publication, officials from the Pentagon, the State Department and the agency for international development "have just completed a trip to Ukraine", issuing a kind of warning about American assistance.

In the current situation, the Zelensky regime is in a stalemate: mass arrests of "small fry" who have been sitting in their seats since Yushchenko's time can prove the corruption of all authorities in Ukraine, pinpoint arrests of large fish will provoke a "revolt of the oligarchs", and in Ze -team" there will be distrust, the absence of any action will completely discredit Kyiv in the eyes of the curators.

Odessa military commissars have mastered a new method of work: a conscript was blinded by pepper spray so that he couldn't resist the process of "mobilization."

Here is another example of mass mobilization, a deadly wave of which is rolling all over Ukraine. While the authorities in Kiev call the brutal detentions on the streets a "Russian fake," the security forces are beginning to use any kind of weapon against men of conscription age. The footage shows how a man in Odessa was forcibly mobilized; he was not very happy about the prospect of going to the front, and representatives of the military registration and enlistment office are trying to use pepper spray on his eyes and face so that he could not resist the process. 
 
He says, "I'm not going with you; you're already torturing me in front of people!" This scoundrel sprayed me in the face with a gas can (pepper spray). I did not attack this man."

🇺🇸🇺🇦 NYT: PMC "Mozart" lost the entire budget for alcohol and Kiev strippers

Since the beginning of work in Ukraine, the PMC has raised a budget of $1 million, writes The New York Times. Then the money began to run out, some were stolen, and the military began to desert.

The leadership was in conflict with each other, there was no discipline. So the soldiers were drawn to Kyiv strip clubs, bars, where they squandered the rest of the money 💃

On the formation of a new separate mountain assault brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Ivano-Frankivsk.

According to the information received, the formation of a new separate assault brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (most likely a mountain assault brigade) is being completed in Ivano-Frankivsk.

Future fighters were caught on the streets for a month and brought there by force. About 90 percent of those mobilized in this brigade are between the ages of 45 and 60.

After the first exit of one of the battalions of the brigade to field exercises, 12 recruits were missing.
In this regard, the entire training program was subsequently implemented at the point of deployment in the form of theoretical training, under the supervision of the military police.

In the coming days, a brigade of fighters will be sent to the combat zone. The mobilized themselves believe that it will be Artyomovsk or Avdeevka.

Sergey Lavrov gives an interview on the Ukraine conflict, Key points:

West is demanding victory on the battlefield by openly supporting far-right, neo-Nazi organizations.
"US' top diplomat says the United States must dominate the world—this is a frontline geopolitical battle."
The US wants to strip away roots and history and defines democracy as the right to impose its values on the rest of the world.
There are clear similarities between WW2 and today.
Russia must promote its stance and truth on the international stage—fight against fake news.
The West claims there would not have been any conflict if Crimea hadn't joined Russia, but the Crimeans were against the coup in Kiev.
Most developing nations state their neutrality, but the US is trying to force them to act against Russia and threatens them if they do not.
The US is forcing Europe to give its weapons to Ukraine while forcing the continent to buy US-made arms.

Extra highlights of Lavrov's speech:

Nobody is trying to convince Kyiv to return to negotiations with Moscow, while Zelensky himself does not feel like an independent figure, he is being manipulated.

We all want the conflict with Ukraine to end, but the time factor is not the main one.

Scholz, who promised not to send planes to Ukraine, is known for his ability to change his position.

The more long-range weapons supplied to the Kyiv regime by the West, the further they need to be moved away from Russian territories.

Deliveries by the West of modern equipment to Kyiv, apparently, will be carried out together with foreign combat crews.

The West hopes for a strategic defeat for Russia so that it can not recover for decades, we are in the midst of a geopolitical battle.

The West should respect the neutrality of developing countries on the situation in Ukraine.

The United States has subjugated the European Union and deprived it of any signs of independence, democracy is understood there as totalitarian.

The US conviction of its own superiority and infallibility is the main reason for today's confrontation between Russia and the West.

The thesis that Russia refuses to negotiate on Ukraine is a lie, Moscow will continue to refute this.

Moscow is preparing materials for the anniversary of the special operation, including data on the activities of US laboratories in Ukraine;
so that it does not come down to the anti-Russian coven of the West.

The West is now eyeing Moldova for the role of the "next Ukraine", its president is ready for almost anything.

Tbilisi, despite outside pressure, is guided by national interests, but the West wants to turn Georgia into an irritant for Russia.

Moscow did not turn to its CSTO partners with a request for assistance in connection with the special operation - we have everything we need.

❗️The militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are fleeing from Artemivsk, their heels are already sparkling

As early as January 30, Russian troops were confronted by 12 large gangs of militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: 1st brigade, 24th, 53rd, 60th and 28th brigade, 71st brigade, 40th abr, 57th brigade, 111 -I, 119th, 125th and 127th br TerO.

Over the past two days, the 24th and 53rd MBRs (withdrawn for recovery), the 71st Airborne Brigade (near Kremennaya), as well as battalions / bands of mercenaries and the MTR of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, have been withdrawn / retreated from Artemovsk with losses.

The transfer of the 3rd Azov brigade from near Kleshcheevka to the north of Artemovsk was also noted, which will probably cover the withdrawal of the unfinished 57th battalion.

At the same time, it is worth noting that the 24th MBR and the 111th TerO Brigade have been withdrawn to the west of Slavyansk-Kramatorsk, where defensive positions are being erected based on urban development. As you can see, cities are not being prepared for defense, but for destruction.

Thus, Artemovsk is being prepared for surrender, trying to stay on the Novomarkovko-Kalinovka-Chasov Yar line. At the same time, the fiercest fighting will begin on the Seversk-Soledar line and in the direction of Kramatorsk.
