This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When a vehicle is captured and then lost in service with its new owners, it is only added as a loss of the original operator to avoid double listings. When the origin of a piece of equipment can't be established, it's not included in the list. The Soviet flag is used when the equipment in question was produced prior to 1991. This list is constantly updated as additional footage becomes available.

Understood. And Ukraine might not accept a Trump ultimatum, especially one that looks like a surrender. But I could see that being a tipping point, with Trump dropping sanctions the first domino. China would see that as weakness, as would much of the rest of the world, leaving Europe isolated in their support of Ukraine and opposition of Russia.
On a larger scale, western influence declines, while BRICS ascends.
Kursk region, Russia ❗
Bavovna Monitor 🔥🔥🔥💨🤌
As previously reported, three tanks caught fire at an oil depot named 'Polevaya oil depot' near Kursk, after a drone attack last night. Two tanks were partially destroyed, emergency services reported. Meanwhile the open fire has been eliminated. The Governor of the Kursk region Roman Starovoyt thanked everyone who took part in the extinguishing for their work! But meanwhile questions rising. According to a report, there was only one drone, it flew unhindered to the oil depot and five days ago, three serious air defense systems were removed from the Kursk region, which protected, among other things, the damaged oil depot. But this isn't the tip of the iceberg. Apparently nobody knows where they are. 🤷♂️👀 The report also says that the military confirmed this information, but did not specify where the air defense systems from the Kursk region were sent. 👀 *unconfirmed, information cannot be independently verified

“New Russian Threat In Space”
Perhaps it is just nuclear powered (battery or reactor) rather than using nuclear explosives. Maybe Directed Energy Weapons.
OilPrice.com reports:
“The European Union (EU) has “no interest” in extending the transit agreement for Russian natural gas supply to EU countries via Ukraine, EU Energy Commissioner Kadri Simson said on Thursday.
The gas transit deal, with which EU members including Austria and Slovakia receive Russian gas via a route crossing Ukraine, expires at the end of 2024...
The EU has been looking to ditch Russian gas since the Russian invasion of Ukraine two years ago, and has managed to cut the share of Russia’s gas in its imports to less than 10% from more than 33% before the war in Ukraine...
Russian gas deliveries to Europe have fallen off a cliff since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but some European customers in central Europe continue to receive Russian gas via the route through Ukraine and a pipeline via Turkey.
Ukraine has already signaled it would not engage in talks with Russia about an extension of the gas transit deal.
“The position of the Ukrainian side is unambiguous: the transit contract expires at the end of the year,” the press office of Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal told Bloomberg News “

“Pray for the boys.” Three news about what is happening in Avdeevka
We learned from sources at the front, in the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff about what is now happening on the approaches to Avdiivka and in the city itself.
Firstly, our troops are heroically moving forward and have taken a number of positions, the chances of capturing the city have increased significantly.
“It’s hard. But there is a chance that Vladimir Vladimirovich will be able to record a video from Avdeevka before the elections. But now these are not battles, but just hell,” a source at the Ministry of Defense told us. about which video we are talking
We wrote in detail about here: https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/3520
It is important for representatives of the Ministry of Defense that the president record a video from Avdiivka before the elections. Indeed, otherwise (if for some reason we do not take the city), he, as many military men say, may dismiss Sergei Shoigu. The ministry is very worried about this.
Secondly, unfortunately, losses on this sector of the front have seriously increased. “We lose from 500 to 900 people wounded and killed per day. And this has been going on for four days now.
“We don’t have time to take the wounded from the battlefield. God grant that all this was not in vain,” the officer who is now storming Avdiivka told us.
He is angry at the brave reports of some military officers and officials who are now talking and writing about the battles for Avdiivka. “There is a lot of blood behind all this. Stop shouting. Better just pray for the guys,” says the military man.
Thirdly, not everyone can withstand such a pace of fighting. “Over the last week we have more than 300 deserters in this direction. And about 40 people have simply gone crazy,” complained a source in the General Staff.
The situation on the battlefield is changing dynamically, we will keep you informed and tell you about the main changes.

On board the large landing ship Caesar Kunikov were North Korean shells, missiles and military personnel. Their loss “buried” the Black Sea Fleet commander.
According to our sources in the Black Sea Fleet and the Ministry of Defense, the main reason for the resignation of the Black Sea Fleet commander Viktor Sokolov was not just the loss of the large landing ship Caesar Kunikov.
The problem was the cargo he was carrying. And these were not only tanks (this information of ours, by the way, was confirmed).
“On board the ship there was a serious cargo of North Korean weapons - several dozen ballistic missiles and more than a thousand artillery shells. The cargo was accompanied by three military specialists from the DPRK. Unfortunately, they all died,” said one of our interlocutors.
According to another, the death of the North Korean military, who were guaranteed complete security, seriously angered Vladimir Putin. He now really does not want to spoil relations with the DPRK.
That is why the president personally demanded that the commander of the Black Sea Fleet be replaced. And Admiral Viktor Sokolov, who was dismissed, now even faces a prison sentence.
Alexei Navalny reported dead by the Russian Prison Service.
May he Rest In Peace.
Putin needs to die as well.
“On board the ship there was a serious cargo of North Korean weapons - several dozen ballistic missiles and more than a thousand artillery shells..."
Huge win for UKR target intel.
Why wasn't this serious cargo shipped via the land bridge to Crimea on trains?
The GLSDBs have arrived on the Ukranian battle field.

“Navalny was killed. I know who. Vladimir Vladimirovich knew nothing,” a source in the Kremlin
A very respected source from Sergei Kiriyenko’s circle claims that Alexey Navalny was poisoned. Moreover, the murder, according to him, was organized by people from Alexei Gromov’s entourage [ Alexey Gromov, First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Administration of Russia ].
But Vladimir Putin knew nothing about this.
Let’s say right away that we did not want to publish such a version. But the source is very reliable, his insights have almost always been confirmed. And he really asked that this information be made public. Below is the direct speech of the interlocutor:
“Navalny was poisoned, I know exactly who. Gromov’s idiots did this to annoy us.
“Gromov and his people are terribly infuriated that the Presidential elections are being carried out by Sergei Vladilenovich’s team. And they wanted to please Vladimir Vladimirovich before the elections. To increase your influence, of course. The President himself knew nothing about such plans.
“Of course, Vladimir Vladimirovich often said that Navalny was annoying him, and he was also afraid that he would organize protests from prison and interfere with the elections. Well, they decided to please the president. Idiots.
“Now there really can be protests. Navalny’s supporters, of course, are weaklings, but death ... It’s f..... up, they can do anything, bitches. And also the West. What will he arrange for us now? It’s scary to think about. All the same, Vladimir Vladimirovich will be blamed for everything. How to give a drink. You won’t envy him now. Gromov’s idiots set him up.”
It is worth noting that Gromov himself and people from the circle of the first deputy head of the Administration refused to comment on these accusations to us. But we are ready to give them the floor.
We do not want conflict in power, therefore we call on all possible parties to speak out and clarify the situation.
Russia is a freak show.

When the knives are out in earnest in Moscow, it will probably move quickly.
Everyone should prepare to strike first.
Breitbart reports (https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2024/02/16/nato-light-ukraine-signs-defence-deals-with-france-and-germany/ ):
“Ukraine is signing bilateral defence deals with France and Germany on Friday (16 Feb, 2024)...
...Germany signed a ten-year defence agreement with Ukraine on Friday, with President Volodymyr Zelensky visiting Berlin and inking the document with Chancellor Olaf Scholz. The agreement will see Germany give Ukraine more funds, military assistance, and apply more sanctions on Russia.
Germany said in the document that they are “unwavering in its support for Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity within borders, which have been internationally recognised since 1991”...
...Like the German and French deals, the UK commitment was for ten years”
“Russia is a freak show.”
Not the tiniest shred of credibility remains.
Kyiv Independent reports:
“Russian parliament speaker: ‘Washington and Brussels are to blame for Navalny’s death.’
“From the Secretary General (Jens Stoltenberg) of NATO and the U.S. leadership to (German Chancellor Olaf) Scholz, (U.K. Prime Minister Rishi) Sunak and (Volodymyr) Zelensky – these are the perpetrators of Navalny’s death,” Vyacheslav Volodin claimed.”
“Some mentioned huge blasts” (GLSDBs hitting Russian Artillery)
I wish I had the link to a video clip I saw on FR yesterday, of a couple of side by side Grad MLRSs blowing up.
Impressive blast wave effect, surprising fireball.
