Zelensky: Jeddah is serious progress, it will be difficult for Russia to get out of it. It has to demonstrate, if it goes to the end of the war or it wants to continue the war. 1/
Zelensky: If Ukraine has taken ceasefire, it should be unconditional. We support a 30-day ceasefire in order to prepare action plan that will lead to sustainable, just peace.

Let's hope that American side will put pressure on Russia. 2/
Zelensky: The encirclement of the Ukrainian military is Putin's lie. There is no encirclement of the Ukrainian military in the Kursk region.

Russian wants to surround the Ukrainian military in the same direction, but on the territory of Ukraine. 3/
Zelensky: Russia wants to maximize its presence on Ukraine territory. I don't want to argue with any partners. They have intelligence and satellites.

Let them see where Russian troops are concentrated and where they are headed. This is not about peace. 4/
Zelensky: Decision on NATO depends on NATO allies, but certainly not on Russia desire. Especially not on Russia veto on NATO, because they have no legal force and should not be given a pass. 5/
Zelensky: We are ready for unconditional ceasefire for 30 days, as proposed by American side. If Russians don’t agree, it means that they don’t agree with President Trump proposal. 6/
Zelensky: Most important thing is neither America nor anyone should go along with Russian BUT [additional conditions]. The ceasefire shouldn’t go along with BUT. It’s given to the parties as opportunity to demonstrate its desire to end the war, or vice versa. 7/
Zelensky: I would pay attention to March 17 the year before last. When the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Putin. 8/
Zelensky: In coming days, we will coordinate with the U.S. next steps. We expect that if the Russian view is not in line with President Trump proposal, his position will be clear, tough, and direct in regard to Putin. 9/
Zelensky: It’s very difficult to link the issue of territories to the first step. I wouldn’t recommend it, because it’s a delay in the process. It's a long way to go. 10/
Zelensky: The issue of territory is complicated. It should be resolved later, at the negotiating table. Red lines should be announced immediately. 11/
Zelensky: Let America now force Putin to take the first step, and then we will discuss all the other steps. 12X

Former MI6 Chief Moore: If we don't stand up to Putin and ensure that he does not win in Ukraine, then his stomach will grow with the eating.

He may test Europe in other ways. We have to stick by the Ukrainians. 1/
Moore: Behind Putin is Xi Jinping and the Chinese government.

Putin would have already have lost were it not for the Chinese support that he has garnered. Making sure that the Ukrainians win through in the end is absolutely vital. 2/
Moore: Putin is more comfortable than he should be. The casualties now are astonishing and even the Russians will struggle to replace that level of losses.

Putin has completely mortgaged the Russian economy to the war effort. 3/

FT: Ukraine plans to announce elections on February 24 after the US told Kyiv to hold them by May 15 — or risk losing proposed US security guarantees.

At the same time, the Zelenskyy Office says elections are impossible without proper security conditions. 1/ Image
According to the FT, Kyiv is considering holding presidential elections alongside a national referendum on any peace deal with Russia.

Ukrainian and Western officials familiar with the discussions confirm active planning. 2/
The May 15 deadline comes amid White House pressure to finalize a peace framework by June.

Zelenskyy said on February 9 that Washington wants a “clear schedule” and aims to close the war before US midterm campaigning intensifies in November. 3/

Russia knows it can’t create a second Ukrainian SSR. Its goal is the destruction of Ukraine — “Novorossiya,” LNR/DNR, “Malorossiya.”

Signs of genocide are clear, including deporting children, Ukrainian Institute of National Memory head Oleksandr Alfyorov for Ukrainska Pravda.1/
Alfyorov: “In Ukraine, Russia needs only two resources: history and children.”

Russia uses history as a weapon — through “Novorossiya,” “LNR,” “DNR,” “Malorossiya,” and the myth of a “fight against Nazism” to justify occupation and erase Ukrainian statehood.

2/
Alfyorov: “Russians violate territories with their markers and people.”

They glorify Soviet generals, invent imperial continuity, and turn memory into a tool that normalizes war, borders, and violence.

Chris Wright, US Energy sec.: Russia is funding its war by selling oil, gas and coal. Europe is the biggest buyers of Russian oil and natural gas to this day.

Trump is saying you’re helping fund this war machine, so we’re going to stop large buyers. 1/
Chris Wright: What’s India doing right now? It’s looking to buy more oil from the United States, probably more from Venezuela and other sources.

One way to help end the war in Ukraine is to starve the Russian war machine. 2X

Russian schools now teach children that Winston Smith — the hero of Orwell’s 1984 — was a “radical” with “destructive behavior” — The Times.

In the novel, Smith resists a totalitarian state, questions propaganda, and hates the ruling Party.

In Tomsk, Russia frames it as a crime.

1/Image
1984 was banned in the Soviet Union until 1988 and circulated underground among dissidents.

In 2022 it became the most downloaded fiction book in Russia.

Officials claimed readers loved it not as a warning about totalitarianism, but as a critique of “modern liberalism.”

2/
A school in Tomsk showed pupils Harry Potter, Batman Begins, and 1984 in one program.

The goal, according to the school: to teach children “why heroes become criminals” and how to spot “destructive behavior.”
