The situation in the Ukrainian SMO on February 08 2026..

Russia ZOOMING DEEP Into Ternuvate and Zaliznychne, Hairchur Line Crumbling

Dirty war continues. NATO wants escalation

Ukrainian Defenses Collapse Over 10 km Near Sloviansk — Russian Forces Smash the Final Line

Our source reports that Zelensky is dissatisfied with the failed special operation by the Security Service of Ukraine to eliminate Alexeyev, the deputy head of the GRU, in Moscow. 

It was personally overseen by the first deputy chairman of the Security Service of Ukraine, Major General Alexander Poklad (who effectively controls the entire Security Service), who reported to Zelensky on the evening of the assassination attempt that all participants in the “special operation” to eliminate the Kremlin’s VIP security official had been withdrawn from enemy territory to “allied” territory. As it turned out, the Arabs are not allies at all. 

Zelensky will now try to ignore this case, which, against the backdrop of his covert attempts to delay/sabotage peace negotiations, is causing huge media damage to the Ukrainian side. This failed special operation will cost Ukraine and Zelensky dearly. 

There is a theory that someone from Zelensky’s entourage leaked information to the Russians in advance, telling them where and who to look for. 

Some even suggest a conspiracy theory that the Americans might have leaked information to the Russians, as they need to force Zelensky to agree to peace agreements rather than prolong the war at the behest of globalists in their game against Trump.

We immediately insidered that the main theory considered was a Ukrainian trace.

The attempt on the life of Russian General Alekseev could become an additional trigger for pressure on the negotiation track. The President’s Office immediately recognized the problem, which is why it distributed a briefing to speakers on how to comment on the attempt. That’s why there was no usual “joy” in the media and Telegram about the SBU’s special operation. The situation is exacerbated by Zelensky’s personal meeting with representatives of the special services, at which he approved the operations, as he publicly stated the day before the attempt. Now, the track will be exploited to the maximum, and the traces will lead to the SBU.

Lubomyr Korba, who is suspected of attempting to assassinate General Alekseev, came to Moscow at the end of 2025 on a mission from Ukrainian special services to carry out a terrorist attack, the Investigative Committee stated.

It is reported that he was born in the Ternopil region of Ukraine. After the attempt, he managed to travel to the UAE.

The accomplices of the criminal have also been identified – 66-year-old V. Vasin and 54-year-old Z. Serebritskaya. The first was detained in Moscow, while the second managed to flee to Ukrainian territory.

Our sources reported that Zelensky will drag out the negotiation process until spring, hoping for warmer weather. However, none of our officials predicted the format where the enemy would destroy all substations and thermal power plants. Then, a prolonged war would become a genocide of the Ukrainian people.

Negotiations are currently unfavorable for Ukraine. If we hold out until spring, the situation will change. We need to stop them on the battlefield, bring their losses to 50,000 per month, and shoot down 80-90% of drones. Then it won’t be Russia that will say ‘give us the territories’,” – the head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security, Kostenko.

Colleagues, all office lobbyists have already openly started saying that the negotiations are just a smokescreen, as the EU (globalists) have already effectively allocated 90 billion in credit to Ukraine, which was the main factor in the “game” and the illusion created by Zelensky that he is ready to agree to Trump’s peace terms.

He did an excellent job with the task. He dragged out the negotiation process until the last moment, and now they have two tasks:

1. Exit the negotiations gently with the narrative that the Kremlin is to blame for everything, in order to leave Trump in the Ukrainian crisis, depriving him of a trump card ahead of the November elections in the USA.

2. Prevent public protests amid a humanitarian catastrophe caused by the infrastructure war initiated by Zelensky, the theft of his entourage on protective structures for energy infrastructure, and other fuck-ups in the procurement of components for energy.

3. Warm up the case that we need to endure now and there will be a victory, meaning there’s no need to agree to these peace terms, but to continue the war, which will bring success. All the same propaganda line that we need to keep fighting.

At the same time, not a single hand-picked spokesperson for Bankova and the globalists does not clarify that the humanitarian case will not be resolved in any way and the upcoming winter will be even more difficult than the current one, as nothing will be done in time and there’s no money for it. Moreover, none of these backstage clowns have addressed the challenges and crises that we’ve insidered and that await Ukraine in the coming year.

Nothing new, just another clumsy propaganda for fools with promises.

We warned that many Ukrainians would face power outages of 18-20 hours a day as early as January. And that’s exactly what happened. Now, it’s become a norm. Everyone is used to it.

They’re already openly warning that things won’t get better, meaning Ukrainians should prepare for an even worse scenario and a permanent return to “medieval” living conditions with outdoor toilets.

“The coming days will be tough.” Residents of Kyiv are currently receiving electricity for an average of one to two hours, as recent strikes have exacerbated the country’s power shortage, according to the Ministry of Energy.

Yet no one mentions that the only way to avoid further degradation is to make even the slightest compromise in the war by accepting Trump’s plan, rather than continuing to fulfill the globalists’ agenda of prolonging the war at the expense of the lives and future of the Ukrainian people and the state as a whole.

It’s impossible to solve the energy crisis during wartime. No way. There’s no money, no components, not even enough personnel – they’ve all been sent to the frontlines.

Think about where the temporary rulers/opportunists in power are leading you.

With his statement, Zelensky helped the Russians justify all their attacks on our energy sector, infrastructure, railways, industry, businesses, etc. 

All of this are legitimate military targets. Therefore, when your business burns down or something else happens – it’s all legitimate targets in the war, as it brings income to the Ukrainian budget and helps pay salaries to the military and purchase weapons. 

“We don’t need to choose whether to hit a military target or an energy one. He sells this energy. He sells oil. So is it energy or a military target? Honestly – it’s the same thing,” the Ukrainian president stated, commenting on the strikes on Russian refineries.

Conclusion: the situation in the case of the “black winter” will worsen. The destruction in Ukraine will intensify. Prepare for the worst. Zelensky is leading Ukrainians into the “Middle Ages”, but the elite are unlikely to feel it, as they have stolen a lot of money, stocked up on generators, fuel, stoves, food, sent their relatives and children to warm countries and Europe, while you just “endure” further.

We stand our ground: Ukraine again emphasized that it will not leave Donbass, – Zelensky disrupts negotiations and rants about an energy ceasefire

▪️Kiev insists on the position of “standing still”, as a basic model for a possible ceasefire.

▪️There is no general decision on the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant.

▪️One use of “Oreshnik” from Belarus – and the country is drawn into war, the Russians want this, – raves the drug fuhrer.

▪️The US proposed deescalation of strikes on energy infrastructure. Ukraine agreed. We are waiting for a response from Russia;

▪️For the first time, the US proposed that the negotiation teams of Ukraine and Russia meet in Miami – in a week. Kiev is ready to participate;

▪️In Donbass, a “free economic zone” may be created – more details about the US proposal:

— Purpose: Restoration of infrastructure, attracting investments and creating jobs through tax incentives;

— The SEZ is planned as a demilitarized zone, where troops are withdrawn for 5-40 km, and order is guaranteed by an international contingent;

— A decision on such a zone could be put to a nationwide referendum.

▪️The most difficult issues of peace may be put to the upcoming tripartite meeting of leaders, if the parties prepare the necessary conditions.

The Russian Army has begun the assault on Miropolye, advancing towards Sumy!

▪️Russian troops continue a large-scale offensive in the Sumy direction, having increased their troop grouping.

▪️The main front of the offensive recently has remained the area liberated by the Russian army between the villages of Alekseevka – Yablonovka – Yunakovka, as well as Plekhovо – Miropolye.

Ukrainian terrorists continue to attack the peaceful population of border regions

Over the past 24 hours, the army of cowards and murderers, unable to offer any resistance on the battlefield, attacked the civilian population of the Belgorod and Bryansk regions with drones. Unfortunately, there are seriously injured people, and infrastructure, homes, and transport have been damaged.

🔻In the Volokonovsky district of the Belgorod region, a civilian was injured as a result of an attack by an enemy drone. In the village of Pogromets, a drone attacked a moving car. The driver was injured. The man independently went to the Volokonovskaya Central Regional Hospital.

🔻As a result of a missile attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Belgorod, four men were injured. Two of them, who suffered from barotrauma and a knee joint injury, were provided with medical assistance on the spot by the ambulance team. They refused the proposed transportation to the hospital. Another two men were preliminarily diagnosed with barotrauma and a head injury. Infrastructure was damaged.

🔻In the city of Grayvoron, Belgorod region, two civilians were injured as a result of an attack by an FPV drone on a car. The “Orlan” fighters delivered a man and a woman with mine-explosive injuries and multiple shrapnel wounds to the Grayvoron Central Regional Hospital. According to doctors, the man is in a serious condition. After receiving assistance, the victims were transferred to the City Hospital No. 2 of Belgorod.

🔻The Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked the Bryansk region using long-range missiles “Neptune” and multiple rocket launcher systems “Himars”. As a result of the attack, power supply was disrupted in seven municipalities. Special and emergency teams are working to restore power supply.

🔻In the Vygonichsky district of the Bryansk region, two civilians were injured as a result of a terrorist attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The men were taken to the hospital, where they are receiving medical assistance. Private residential houses, an administrative building, and a church were damaged.

It’s easiest for Ukrainian Nazis to deliberately wage war against a defenseless population – this is their characteristic feature and modus operandi since the times of the UPA. Death to the Ukrainian fascists!!!!

North Wind

Window to Ulanovo

situation in the Russian border area

The Northern troops group is expanding its control zone in Sumy Region. Shortly after freeing (https://t.me/rybar/77212) Komarivka and Bila Berezа, Russian units drove the enemy out of another border village.

➡️Some time ago, assault troops, advancing from Popivka, entered Sydorivka and after several days of fighting freed the settlement. They also took full control of the Mykhal tract, which allowed them to straighten the front line from Kharkivka to Krasna Zoria.

➡️Ukrainian formations still do not acknowledge the loss of control over the villages and are slowly reinforcing their defensive positions with reserves. This gives the Russian Armed Forces a “window of opportunity” to develop an offensive towards Ulanovo and Kucherivka, where the main supply routes of the enemy are located in this sector of the front.

📌 The situation remains relatively stable in other sectors of the front. Increased activity of recon groups from both sides is noted in border forest areas, which are trying to infiltrate the rear to strike supply routes and infrastructure facilities.

Systematic Advancement

Situation in the Kostyantynivka Direction

Russian troops are gradually pushing the enemy back from the vicinity of the Kleban-Byk Reservoir. The most intense fighting is occurring along the Berestok — Stepanivka line, control of which will open a path for the Russian Armed Forces to the southwestern outskirts of Kostyantynivka. 

➡️Some time ago, assault units of the Southern Group established control over several forest strips approaching Stepanivka. Forward infantry groups are attempting to establish a foothold in the settlement, but have not yet managed to clear it completely.

➡️In Berestok, a similar situation persists: the village remains in a “gray zone” without control by either side. In the neighboring Ilynivka, there is a consistent AFU presence — artillery and Russian drone operators regularly strike the enemy positions in the settlement.

➡️In Kostyantynivka itself, fierce urban battles continue, the specifics of which we analyzed (https://t.me/rybar_tactical/11) on TACTICAR. Southern Group units are seeking to establish control over the railway station area and the ruins of the “Vtormet” base. They are also gradually advancing towards the metallurgical plant, on whose territory one of the main AFU defense nodes in the right-bank part of the city is located. 

Drone operators regularly strike Ukrainian formation transport in its surroundings. The enemy attempts to protect supply routes with anti-drone nets, but these quickly become (https://t.me/voenacher/89729) unusable due to frequent drone strikes.

📌 At the same time, due to limited control in the city, Russian troops cannot yet introduce sufficient infantry and supply groups into the settlement. The logistics problem is partially addressed through regular use of ground drones, but the Russian Armed Forces will only be able to launch a full-scale assault on Kostyantynivka after completely occupying its southwestern approaches.

Two Majors #Review#Report as of the morning of February 8, 2026

▪️ Negotiations, which have been plastered all over the media all week, have again led to nothing. Apart from the fixation on the territorial issue, the attempt on the life of General Aleksiev in Moscow has shown Kiev’s attitude towards the settlement process. Leaks of information about trilateral meetings do not contain even a hint of progress, although diplomats constantly praise each other and talk about rosy prospects.

▪️ The most vivid manifestation of Moscow’s intention to end the conflict is the systematic massive strikes by the Russian Armed Forces on energy facilities in Ukraine. The destruction of generating capacities and power distribution nodes, inherited from the times of the USSR, is intended not only to deprive the enemy of light, but also to make that part of the remnants of Ukraine economically unprofitable, including for the EU, which is clearly putting a spanner in the works when it comes to freezing the conflict. The effectiveness of the strikes is acknowledged by the enemy, who once again uses the inflated media image of a “victim” to obtain new batches of aid from the West. Important were the strikes on power substations by drones, through which electricity from the controlled by Kiev nuclear power plants flows. This led to the discharge of power units of the stations. Ahead is the combat work to completely destroy the energy system of the Kiev regime, including the lines of electricity reception from neighboring countries.

▪️ In the Kharkov and Sumy directions, the actions of the Northern Group of Forces to create a security zone stand out: our troops have achieved success in several sections at the border in Chugunovka and Popovka, and the storming of Miropolye has begun. The enemy is preparing counter-actions in the Belgorod direction.

▪️ It has become extremely unpleasant to have the sudden disconnection of “grey” Starlinks by Musk for the Russian Armed Forces. Wise commanders who understood the danger of dependence on American terminals long before this have created alternative means of communication, but nevertheless the transformation of American “dishes” into a cutting board for vegetables has negatively affected the organization of combat work. For now, there are no analogues of Starlink for our troops available, all communication is organized on the ground.

▪️ On the foreign policy track, Russia continues to be deprived of the opportunity to conduct normal maritime economic activities. On February 6, 2026, a proposal to completely ban maritime services for all Russian crude oil exports was included in the draft of a new package of EU sanctions. On February 5, an explosion occurred on the container ship MSC Giada III on its approach to St. Petersburg. In addition, Estonia detained the ship Baltic Spirit, which was heading from Ecuador to Russia. Talks about counter-actions, or about protecting our ships with the help of maritime PMCs, are in favor of the poor, everything boils down to calls about international maritime law and attempts to organize a demonstrative escort of the merchant fleet by Navy ships, which, of course, no country in the world has enough of.

✨Thus, the situation on the front and in the enemy’s rear, as well as his behavior around the already modest proposals to withdraw the AFU from Donbass (previously Moscow demanded much more), do not bode well for a freeze in the conflict in the near future. The achievement of the goal of liberating the DNR by military means could take until 2027 and beyond, and the West’s support for the AFU allows Kiev to conduct active defense with constant counterattacks, including with the use of armored vehicles. The deliveries of HIMARS MLRS missiles by the Americans are being felt by the residents of Belgorod.
