[Korrespondent] 22:26 The US Senate considered amendments to the bill on assistance to Ukraine and Israel, after which it held a procedural vote to move on to the final consideration of the issue.
22:14 In occupied Berdyansk, Zaporozhye region, local entrepreneur-collaborator Alexander Galiya, who was one of the first to cooperate with the Russians, was eliminated, said the head of the city military administration Victoria Galitsyna. He helped the occupiers take away the businesses and property of local residents, and also reported to the occupation authorities about Ukrainian patriots.
22:03 Elon Musk claims that his company SpaceX is not selling Starlink terminals to Russia: “A number of false news reports claim that SpaceX is selling Starlink terminals to Russia. This is categorically false. To our knowledge, no Starlink has been sold directly or indirectly to Russia ".
Perhaps they were looted from Ukrainians, then.
21:57 Orban said that Ukraine should become a “buffer zone” between Russia and the West: “Whether you like it or not, whether Ukrainians like it or not, Ukraine is on the map - where it is. The best prospect is for it to be a buffer zone between Russia and the West, of course, with security guarantees. If this does not help, Ukraine will lose territory. Russia will destroy Ukraine again, again and again. Russia will never accept such an EU and NATO member as appearing on its borders Ukraine".
According to the Hungarian Prime Minister, the war in Ukraine will not end in 2024, and it is necessary to “at least ensure a ceasefire and achieve a situation in which negotiations can be held.”
20:45 In Ukraine, from the beginning of the year to date, 359 Shahed drones have been shot down, Zelensky said in an evening video message. “We are working to add more efficiency to our mobile fire groups and to ensure that even more regions of Ukraine receive electronic warfare systems. This is one of the key priorities of the year,” the president added.
20:31 Russia has created a specific defense line with a length of 30 km in the Donetsk region, DeepState reports. The structure of freight cars stretches along the line from the railway station in Elenovka to Volnovakha and has about 2,100 cars of various types. Its purpose is to impede the advance of the Defense Forces. It is extremely difficult to damage, move or explode a 30-kilometer mass of metal, and the movement of equipment due to such an obstacle is impossible without breaking through a corridor, analysts say.
20:27 In Moldova, near the border with Ukraine, near the village of Etulia, Vulcanesti district, the Border Police discovered fragments of a Shahed-type UAV. The area where the wreckage of the combat drone was found has been cordoned off. The Moldovan authorities condemned Russia's attacks against Ukraine, which also affect Moldova, - President Maia Sandu, Prime Minister Dorin Recean and Foreign Minister Mihai Popsoi made corresponding statements.
18:15 Ukraine has already caught up with Russia in the number of long-range kamikaze drones, said Minister of Digital Transformation Mikhail Fedorov. He also announced the appearance of an improved version of the MAGURA maritime drone.
17:36 Russia recruited about 15 thousand Nepalese to participate in the war in Ukraine, CNN writes, citing data from Nepalese legislators and human rights activists. At the same time, the country’s government claims that only about 200 of its citizens are allegedly fighting on the side of the Russian Federation and that at least 13 Nepalese were killed in the combat zone. Human rights activists say these figures are greatly underestimated.
Nepalese in a Russian winter? Should be interesting for all involved, though not as interesting as for the Syrians they signed up.
16:22 Fresh Ukrainian forces entered the battle in the Avdeevsky direction, said the commander of the operational-strategic group of troops of Tavria, Alexander Tarnavsky.

16:07 Japan will allocate $106 million for the restoration of Ukraine, including infrastructure restoration and mine clearance, Kyodo reports. According to the publication, the relevant agreements should be signed on February 19 in Tokyo at the Japanese-Ukrainian conference.
13:16 Macron postponed his visit to Ukraine, scheduled for February 13-14, for security reasons, Challenges writes. The publication notes that such a decision “raises many questions both from French civil servants and leaders, and from Ukrainian diplomats.” It was expected that during the visit Macron might announce the signing of a bilateral agreement on security guarantees.
11:05 The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense confirms the use of Starlink satellite communication systems by Russian troops at the front. Radio interception of a conversation between Russians indicates that in order to establish access to the Internet, Starlink terminals were installed, for example, in units of the 83rd Airborne Assault Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces operating in the Donetsk region near Kleshcheevka and Andreevka. Representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Moscow Region Andrey Yusov noted that the scale of Russians’ use of Starlink terminals in war is growing.
Previously, SpaceX management claimed that it was not transferring Starlink terminals to Russia.
10:49 Zelensky appointed former First Deputy Minister of Defense Alexander Pavlyuk as commander of the Ground Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces instead of Syrsky. Also, the president, by his decrees, dismissed Sergei Naev from the post of commander of the Joint Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and appointed Yuri Sodol to this post.
In addition, Zelensky replaced the commander of the Air Assault Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces - instead of Maxim Mirgorodsky, he became Igor Skibyuk. A new commander of the Territorial Defense Forces was also appointed - this post was taken by Igor Plakhuta.
09:54 On the evening of February 10, the Russians fired at the village with KABs. Vodyanoye, Kupyansky district, Kharkov region - one person was killed, one was injured, said the head of the OVA Oleg Sinegubov. Two private houses were destroyed and seven more were damaged. Farming was also damaged.

09:33 Trump said at a campaign rally in South Carolina that “we have to resolve” the war in Ukraine, “and I will resolve it.” At the same time, he called Zelensky “the greatest salesman in history” and suggested that the United States could “lose hundreds of billions of dollars” if Ukraine makes a deal with Russia without Washington’s participation. Trump also criticized the aid packages being discussed in Congress for Kyiv and spoke out against their “non-refundable” nature, demanding that funds, if given, be given on credit.
In addition, Trump described how, as president, he warned other NATO members that the United States would encourage Russia to “do whatever it wants” in Europe if it did not increase its defense spending: “One of the presidents of a big country stood up and said : well sir, if we don't pay and we get attacked by Russia, will you protect us? I said, you haven't paid, does that mean you're late on payment? No, I wouldn't defend you. In fact, I would advise them to do whatever the hell they want. You have to pay. You have to pay your bills."

“That same night, the activities of the public catering facility where the infection occurred were suspended. Gross violations of sanitary rules were discovered in the cafe’s catering unit, including unsanitary conditions, a shortage of production and technological equipment, and the lack of medical records for the staff. At the same time, the cafe’s activities were carried out illegally in lack of registration with the tax authority,” says a message on the department’s telegram channel.
Specialists conducted door-to-door surveys and laboratory tests. “It was established that the preliminary cause of infection was mayonnaise of our own production, prepared in violation of the technological requirements of food production. Mayonnaise was used as part of the burger dish. The cause of the disease was the causative agent of salmonellosis,” the publication notes.
According to the district administration, today by 09.00 Moscow time 41 cases were registered, of which 12 were adults. There are 20 people in the hospital with a diagnosis of acute gastroenteritis. “Another 21 people who sought help and were identified during door-to-door visits were provided with outpatient treatment at home,” says a message on the telegram channel of the Kazbekovsky district administration.
Most of the sick said that they ate burgers and mini-pizzas made in one of the local cafes. “The café’s products also entered the retail chain.

The "Caucasian Knot" also wrote that in June 2022, 66 people went to doctors with symptoms of poisoning in the Buynaksky region. According to investigators, they were poisoned by products made in one of the private confectionery shops in the village of Nizhneye Kazanishche. The owner of a confectionery shop in Buinaksk was accused of providing services that did not meet safety requirements.
In Kaspiysk in March 2022, there was also a mass poisoning of residents. Rospotrebnadzor stated that a causative agent of acute intestinal infections was found in tap water; the cause was water contamination in water supply networks. 104 people suffered from poisoning ; the head of Gorvodokanal was accused of providing services that did not meet safety requirements.
In January 2021, 359 residents of Buinaksk contacted doctors with complaints of symptoms of an intestinal infection. After the mass poisoning, water supply was suspended in the city, and the authorities flushed and chlorinated the networks. Kindergartens were also closed, and schoolchildren were transferred to distance learning. The City Court fined the acting director of Buynakskvodokanal 100 thousand rubles, finding him guilty in the case of mass poisoning of residents with dirty drinking water.

[Regnum] The Scythian gold transferred by the West to Kiev may ultimately be lost, said Artyom Studennikov, director of the first European department of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on February 11.
“Now we see how icons are being taken out of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra. Items from Ukrainian museums are allegedly transferred for storage to museums in a number of European countries. That is why we have every reason to believe that the Crimean artifacts may suffer a sad fate - we cannot exclude that they may be lost,” he noted in an interview with RIA Novosti.
The Kerch Historical and Cultural Reserve, the Central Museum of Taurida, the Bakhchisarai Historical and Cultural Reserve and the Tauride Chersonese sent the exhibition “Crimea - a golden island in the Black Sea” to Bonn in 2013, and then to Amsterdam. After the reunification of Crimea with Russia in 2014, the question arose about who should return the collection, and in October 2021, the Amsterdam Court of Appeal decided to give it to the Ukrainian authorities.
Crimean museums filed a complaint, but the decision remained in force, and the Allard Pearson Museum transferred the collection to Kyiv. In Russia, the court’s decision was called biased; the head of Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, said that the collection was simply taken away from the museums.
As Regnum reported, in November, the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, announced the threat of looting the collection of Scythian gold after its transfer to Kiev. She called the very fact of its delivery to the Kyiv regime unconscionable from a moral point of view and unlawful from the point of view of the practice of exchanging museum exhibits.
Also, in a conversation with IA Regnum, historian and political scientist Mikhail Smolin called the fact of the transfer of exhibits from Crimean museums to the Ukrainian side as theft. He also noted that today there are no guarantees for the return of exhibits to Russia by European museum sites, and therefore no exhibition activities or cooperation with them are possible.

[Regnum] Director of the State Museum-Reserve "Kievo-Pechersk Lavra" Maxim Ostapenko proposed to include the remains of the Prime Minister of the Russian Empire Pyotr Stolypin
...PM from 1905 until he was assassinated in 1911. Instituted agrarian reforms that gave the serfs ownership of their land, which led to an economic boom, much to the distress of both the aristocratic old guard and the revolutionary communists. It was the eleventh assassination attempt that killed him in Kiev...
in the lists for exchange with Russia. He stated this in a conversation with journalists of the Ukrainian channel “1+1”.
The head of the museum in Kyiv called for Stolypin’s remains to be included in the list for exchange with the Russian Federation
The grave of the politician is located at the northern wall of the Refectory Church of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra.
“One idea is to put it (the remains - editor's note) into the exchange fund, no matter how it looks or sounds,” Ostapenko said.
According to the head of the museum-reserve, Kyiv can exchange the remains of Stolypin for Ukrainian prisoners of war or for the remains of dead servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as for those who have merits to Kiev, but are in Russia.
As Regnum reported, in February 2020, the Lvov authorities proposed to exchange the remains of Hero of the Soviet Union Nikolai Kuznetsov, who died in western Ukraine during the Great Patriotic War, for Ukrainian citizens who are serving their sentences in Russia. They decided not to transfer the scout’s ashes to relatives for reburial in Yekaterinburg.
In July 2023, the mayor of Lvov, Andrei Sadovoy, reported that attackers tried to steal the remains of Kuznetsov. He also posted a photo of the desecrated grave.
Deputy Director of the Institute of History and Politics of Moscow State Pedagogical University Vladimir Shapovalov, in a conversation with a Regnum correspondent, expressed the opinion that if the authorities of Lvov agreed to transfer the remains of Nikolai Kuznetsov to the Russian Federation, this would strengthen the spiritual strength of Russia, which is unacceptable for the authorities of Bandera’s Ukraine.
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Polish farmers protesting against the import of Ukrainian grain into the European Union opened vans with grain near the Yagodin-Dorogusk border checkpoint, the Ukrainian publication UNIAN reported on Sunday, February 11.
“Polish farmers are attacking Ukrainian trucks with grain at the checkpoint - they are trying to empty the grain from the trucks, opening them with grinders,” says a message published on the publication ’s Telegram channel.
Earlier in January, Polish farmers who took part in a protest against the import of goods from Ukraine blocked roads in 200 points across the country, bringing tractors and other equipment onto the roads. Protesters demanded an end to duty-free imports of agricultural products from Ukraine and other countries outside the European Union.
As Regnum reported, at the end of last month, the head of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of Poland, Czeslaw Sekierski, called for the protection of Polish farmers affected by the export of Ukrainian agricultural products.
