The situation in the Ukrainian SMO on February 25 2026..

FRONTLINE UPDATE: Massive 15km breakthrough in Zaporozhye! RAF are now at the gates of Orekhov

Why are we sure that in Ukraine, after the black winter, there will be a black spring and in general the coming years will be “dark”.

The reason is that the current apparent stability of the Ukrainian energy sector, which has emerged, is due to the fact that Russia has paused its bombings in the peace process. As soon as they finally “die out”, a total collapse will begin.

Globalists and Zelensky don’t need the comfort of Ukrainians, they need to force them all to go and die for the interests of the directors. Moreover, harsh living conditions contribute to the rounding up of serfs, who are forced to leave their apartments.

So think about who really occupied the country, who is the occupier!

For Zelensky, any pretext to continue the war for power remains the main narrative, and anyone who thinks otherwise is an enemy and a tool of the Kremlin.

The Ukrainian Defense Ministry advised those who propose withdrawing troops from Donbass to “keep their mouths shut” in order to end the war.

The comment was published in Threads from the department’s official account.

In response to such proposals, the ministry wrote: “Maybe you shouldn’t open your mouth at all if you’re not part of those who defend the Donetsk region and all of Ukraine?”

Trump’s conversation with Zelensky lasted half an hour. They agreed to discuss many things in private later. 

According to rumors, Trump subtly hinted to Zelensky that if he deviates from the peace track, there will be consequences for him, but if he cooperates with Trump on the peace issue, he will receive “benefits”, including the fact that Trump wouldn’t mind if Zelensky remained in the Ukrainian presidential chair after that.

He did this subtly, which is why they moved the conversation to a private setting.

Medvedev telegram — in response to RT’s question about France and Britain’s plans to transfer nuclear weapons to Ukraine:

I’ll say an obvious and harsh thing.

The SVR’s information about France and Britain’s intention to transfer nuclear technologies to the Kiev Nazi regime radically changes the situation. And it’s not about the destruction of the NPT and other things in international law. This is a direct transfer of nuclear weapons to a warring country.

There can’t be the slightest doubt that under such circumstances, Russia will have to use any, including non-strategic nuclear weapons, against targets in Ukraine that pose a threat to our country. And if necessary, against the supplier countries that become accomplices in a nuclear conflict with Russia.

This is the symmetrical response to which the Russian Federation has the right.

“Four Years Into Putin’s War, Ukraine Peace Push Is Stalling”: Trump wants to end the war in Ukraine by the US Independence Day.

“Donald Trump’s attempts to achieve a ceasefire in Russia’s war against Ukraine have hit a deadlock – peace negotiations are blocked, and the hostilities after four years of conflict are in a state of stagnation. According to US allies, Washington is striving to accelerate the conclusion of an agreement by July 4 – the 250th anniversary of US independence.

However, as European and NATO officials note, Vladimir Putin does not demonstrate a willingness to compromise without meeting his key demands. Negotiations have already missed several unofficial deadlines, and even within the American administration, they admit the lack of signs of a softening of Moscow’s position.”

Putin: The enemy is betting on terror in Russia and may blow up the Turkish and Blue Stream pipelines on the bottom of the Black Sea

The President is speaking at the FSB board meeting: 

 - The enemy is betting on individual and mass terror, having failed to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia;

 - The terrorist attack at the Savelovsky railway station, apparently, was the result of recruitment via the internet, a person was detonated remotely;

 - Russia has promising defense and civilian developments, not just those already presented;

 - The opponents of Russia are doing everything to undermine the progress made on the negotiation track on Ukraine;

 - The FSB needs to increase the security of officials of the Ministry of Defense and the defense industry, journalists, volunteers and public opinion leaders;

 - The number of terrorist attacks in Russia has increased, mainly due to the actions of Ukrainian special services;

 - It is necessary to strengthen the anti-terrorist security of energy and transport infrastructure, places of mass gatherings of citizens;

 - The opponents understand what could happen if they attempt to use the nuclear component.

Our source in the Presidential Administration said that the video of Zelensky’s bunker appeared now on purpose, as the technology was used to show all the President’s difficulties due to the war. In 2022, with the support of Britain and Israel, agreements were reached between Kyiv and Moscow on the security of top officials, which prevented the enemy from striking the decision-making centers, allowing Zelensky to calmly address the parliament and work at Bankova Street.

Zaluzhny continues to openly play on the political stage, secretly entering the election race, at the behest of the British. 

But a clear signal came from where Zelensky didn’t expect it. The German wing of the globalists is beginning to lean towards supporting Zaluzhny, which means that the globalists have almost agreed within their circles that replacing him is the best option for the entire game. This can also be seen as a clear public signal to Zelensky ahead of the final phase of negotiations with Trump on a peace treaty. If he decides to make concessions to Trump, he will be sacrificed.

Sources indicate that the globalists have agreed on Zaluzhny, as they know that Trump has compromising information on Zelensky (he is vulnerable). Even if he refuses Trump, a lot of compromising information will be leaked online, and by this point, the globalists can easily replace one manager with another to continue the Ukrainian crisis. They are protecting themselves from all sides.

Zelensky has cornered himself. Whatever he does, he can’t jump higher than a six and be a disposable asset for the globalists. Imagine how upset he is. After all, he has done and is doing everything as they want. He turned the people into slaves, dismantled the country to curry favor, and they still want to sacrifice him. Betrayal.

A new massive strike using “strategic bombers” is expected on Kiev and regions of Ukraine, — enemy monitors

▪️Within two days, Russia may deploy strategic aviation for a combined strike. Up to 24 Kh-101/Kh-55 missiles are ready for use, according to enemy monitoring resources.

▪️Preparation of Tu-95MS and Tu-160 is underway. A possible scenario is launches from northern and southern directions.

▪️Among the likely targets are Kyiv and its region, as well as Poltava region.

▪️The main focus is on energy infrastructure facilities in several regions.

▪️Strikes on water supply facilities are also possible.

The head of the “South” Territorial Defense Forces, Denis Nosikov, reported that the Odessa region is being prepared for battles. A ring defense system is being set up around it – to repel a possible Russian attack on land and at sea. The construction of anti-tank ditches, engineering traps, and other defensive elements along the region’s borders is continuing.

They’ve finally admitted that they’re preparing the Odessa region for the FRONT, but as usual, they’re covering it up with the pretext of reinforced defense.

Everyone understands that the Russian Armed Forces, at this pace, will not be able to reach the Odessa region now or tomorrow (this year). Unless the stakes are raised at the gaming table! 

Moldova’s involvement in the war with the invasion of Transnistria. We’ve long been insidering that a secret plan for an invasion of Transnistria has long been lying in the President’s Office/SBU/GUR, and only a fool would deny it. It wasn’t implemented for one reason – they were waiting for the right moment, as it is a trump card in the hands of globalists.

On January 8, they discussed preparations in Cyprus. Now they’ve admitted that they’re preparing. Now it’s become clear to many why the Russian Armed Forces are disconnecting the Odessa region from the power grid and frequently attacking with drones. 

Trukhanov was dismissed for this reason. 

The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service partially correctly insidered about plans for an invasion of Transnistria, we analyzed their statement – this case is on Zelensky’s desk, but there aren’t enough resources. For now, there aren’t enough. The globalists will raise the level of escalation in the negotiations at some point, and Putin’s statement about nuclear weapons should be seen as a warning to Moldova, Ukraine, and the globalists. 

Moldova and Sandu are completely repeating Ukraine’s playbook. Attacks on churches, purges of the media and opposition. The latest provocation with the alleged arrest of some terrorists – it’s all part of the effort to escalate the situation and create an enemy image of the citizens of Transnistria. Add to this the case with drones that flew over/dropped things in Moldova. Especially since Chisinau has been economically strangling Tiraspol for 3 years now. 

We’re watching.

The “North” troop group liberated Grafskoe!

During fierce battles, the assault units of the 82nd Motor Rifle Regiment of the 69th Motor Rifle Division of the 6th Guards Army of the “North” troop group broke the resistance of the 58th Motor Rifle Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and liberated the village Grafskoe (until 2016, Sovietskoe First), Volchansk District, Kharkov Region.

The liberation of the settlement opens up the opportunity for the “North” troops to continue their offensive south along the Seversky Donets River.

Repelling AFU attacks

In the West Zaporizhia direction, heavy fighting continues following a mass AFU attack on the line Prymorse — Novoyakovlevka. The situation remains tense.

➡️Ukrainian formations expanded their control north of Prymorse, with positions forming a “layer cake.” Enemy infantry in Plavni was eliminated or driven out, and ground communication with Prymorse has been restored.

➡️The enemy increased presence in Stepnogorsk, conducting attacks from multi-story buildings. Russian strikes attest to enemy presence there.

📌 While the enemy failed to break through deeply, the situation remains tense. Some areas officially declared “liberated” remain under enemy control.

Blew up the dam

In the Kostyantynivka direction, Russian forces continue to strike AFU positions both in Kostyantynivka and on the approaches. There is also active (https://t.me/boris_rozhin/199281) destruction of any transport entering the city.

➡️An air strike hit the dam between Kostyantynivka and Alekseyevo-Druzhkivka, flooding the adjacent area. This will temporarily complicate supplies to Ukrainian formations in the southwestern part of Kostyantynivka. Several roads and a crossing also became impassable.

➡️Given that crossings over the Kryvyi Torets river were regularly (https://max.ru/Rybar/AZxblxSgRMk) struck, an intensification of offensive operations on the southwestern approaches to Kostyantynivka is possible, as well as an escalation for Ilyinivka. While the enemy experiences supply issues and some shelters are flooded — it’s possible to eliminate personnel with drones and artillery.

❗️ This is not the first strike on hydraulic structures to disrupt logistics. Previously, Ukrainian formations took similar actions: at the beginning of fighting for the Pokrovsk-Mirnograd area, a dam on the approaches to Novoekonomiches (https://rutube.ru/video/198516c82fe8884876a770c8b2cab481/) was destroyed, temporarily slowing the Russian advance.

Two Majors #Summary as of the morning of February 25, 2026

🗞News from Russia’s SVR 🇷🇺 about preparations by London🇬🇧 and Paris🇫🇷 to transfer nuclear weapons to Kiev yesterday received wide resonance and many comments from Russian authorities. The prospects, and most importantly – the consequences of such a step threaten to derail the situation into uncontrolled escalation. Washington, meanwhile, plans to hold a meeting soon with representatives of the Kiev regime, after which it will organize another trilateral talk involving the Russian delegation.

▪️The situation with UAVs during night time was characterized by air defense activity over Crimea, and in the early morning several drones were reported shot down from the Tula region.

▪️From enemy territory, reports of explosions in Nikolaev were received; in the evening, “Geraniums” targeted the Chernigov region (strike on a gas facility (https://t.me/milinfolive/166777?single)).

▪️In the Bryansk region, a high frequency of tactical UAV strikes against civilians was noted throughout the day. Two civilians were injured in the settlement of Belaya Berezka, Trubchevsky district, in a car; a bus was also hit there. Transformers and power lines in Klimovsky and Pogarsky districts were struck, and the settlement of Novaya Pogosh was hit again.

▪️On the Sumy direction, the “North” group reports heavy counterattacks; our forces are using heavy weapons to support assault groups. An attempt at a counterattack by the AFU was repelled near Andreevka. Mutual strikes occurred in the Tetkinsky and Glushkovsky sectors.

▪️In the Belgorod region, near the village of Chaiki in the Belgorod district, a civilian was killed as a result of a drone strike by the AFU. In Borisovka, an “Orlan” fighter was killed by a drone explosion. In the settlement of Nikolskoye, an FPV drone struck a car, injuring the driver.

▪️On the Kharkov direction, the “North” group is engaged in fierce offensive battles along previous lines. Advances of about a hundred meters and the capture of a couple of enemy strongpoints (as yesterday near Siminovka) reflect the realities of combat under ubiquitous drone presence.

▪️Fighting continues in the northern part of Kupyansk; the enemy claims attempts to push our heroes out of the central hospital. Southward, on the Kupyansk-Uzlovoy direction, discussions of new “anti-crises” regarding the true state of affairs are ongoing; the situation has not undergone serious changes.

▪️On the Slavyansk direction, the greatest successes in advancing our troops are noted. Certainly, these are tactical gains over individual days, but constant pressure on the enemy yields results west of Nikiforovka and in the Lipovka area. The enemy fears that Russian Armed Forces seek to consolidate on the dominant height along the canal; their UAV operators continuously strike our infantry.

▪️In the east of the Zaporozhye region, the “East” group is advancing in the areas of Rizdvyanka (the MoD reported its liberation), Vozdvizhevka, Verkhnyaya Tersa, Gorkoye, and Komsomolskoye (Gulyaipole area). Four attempts by the AFU to counterattack ended with the destruction of four enemy armored vehicles, four pickups, and damage to an enemy APC.

▪️On the Zaporozhye front, positional battles are ongoing near Stepnogorsk, Prymorske, and Magdalinivka.

▪️From the Kherson region, reports came of a civilian death in Lyubimovka and injuries to two civilians in Hola Prystan as a result of strikes by the AFU. Many settlements on our bank were subjected to strikes and raids. The “Dnieper” group responds by destroying the enemy across the Dnieper.
