โšกQ: There was some interesting information in The Economist about the Ukrainian negotiators being divided... Is this true?

Zelensky: No. What The Economist says sounds quite offensive. I am doing everything I can to ensure that the various channels of communication between Ukrainians and Americans, or even between Russians and Ukrainians, are all in the same format.

The Economist, however, is repeating the Russian narrative that they are divided within the negotiation process.

โšกRussia has tested another superweapon:

New developments around the Russian missile program. An improved version of the Oreshnik missile, the Oreshnik-2 (Granit), was recently tested.

On February 12, Ukrainian sources claimed that an Oresnik missile was fired from the Capuchin Yar test center in the Astrakhan region. Later, this information was clarified and there was already talk that "something else" was being tested in the facility.

According to Andrei Markin, indirect signs indicate that it was not the launch of the classic Russian missile, but that of a more advanced version.

The pictures below are before and after Iranian strikes on Israel. Eyes go clear.
And they said Israel intercepted 98% of the missiles now I see why they want Iran to do away with it ballistic missile programme. Iran's ballistic missiles are existential threat to Israel now than the nuclear programme sef.

Afghanistan- more than 30 countries were involved

Japan was fighting all over the world, again the world was at war,If US try it,US will be the only world power at war thus other countries that matters will leave US behind

Vietnam never had medium range ballistic missiles,they didn't use hypersonic missiles either

https://theconversation.com/trumps-plan-for-strikes-on-iran-carries-major-risks-and-the-us-military-knows-it-276775

In particular, the US has a critical shortage of key missile defence munitions such as Thaad interceptors and Patriots. These platforms would be vital in defending against Iranian retaliation, but the US has been burning through them in recent years by providing them to Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan. The navy has also run down its own stocks of SM-2, SM-3 and SM-6 missiles, which are vital for defending the fleet and other American forces.

The result is that the US lacks the munitions to sustain a long, high-intensity conflict with Iran. If it gets into one, it will have to draw missiles from elsewhere, leaving its forces in Europe and the Indo-Pacific even more understocked than they already are. And because the country has a limited production capacity of these missiles, it could be literally years until the US can replenish its stocks and be ready for contingencies in places like Taiwan.


A weak Iran fought a long war against Iraq for 8 years. Iraq got support from the Soviet Union, Europe and USA. The West gave Iraq chemical weapons and they still didnโ€™t win. The war generation are the top in military and politics, and you think theyโ€™ll capitulate to intimidation. Taco your move, eyes go clear.
Oga stick to copy and paste joor!!

If you are really a student of history and is well read in military conflicts, you would know how complicated the Iran Iraq war was!!

the Soviet Union supported Iraq at a point.. at a time the Soviet Union was a major supporter of Iraq during the war, contributing half of the total military aid gotten by the Iraqis from major powers

The same Soviet also went ahead and supported Iran.. they also provide weapons through intermediaries to Iran..

The US supported both countries, they supplied both Iran and Iraq weapons.. infact the US policy at that time was what we can term Strategic Pragmatism!!!

The US was not aligned with Saddam Hussein, he was only viewed as the lesser of the two evils at that time, leading to intelligence sharing and military aid to Iraq to avoid them losing the war!!

The US policy to the war was designed to "engineer a stalemate" rather than a swift and total victory for either side!! The US goal was to allow both neighbours continue to fight and continue to weakened themselves.. The same way two former Soviet Union republics in Russia and Ukraine are currently engaging themselves in a senseless war!!๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

The USA only increased the support for Hussain and ultimately leaned toward Iraq more to prevent an Iranian triumph!!

All this are common knowledge..How do you think Iran came to owned some older frames of US made planes?? And weapons systems??

Go and read and stop displaying your ignorance on a public forum!!

โšกZelensky:

I have just spoken with U.S. President Donald Trump. Representatives of President Trump โ€“ Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner โ€“ were also on the call.

We discussed the issues that our representatives will be working on tomorrow in Geneva at a bilateral meeting, as well as the preparation for the next meeting of the negotiating teams in a full trilateral format at the very beginning of March.

We expect that this will make it possible to move to negotiations at the leadersโ€™ level. President Trump supports this sequence of steps.

for the record, bloomberg did report that the us has accepted iran's right to enrichment

and reuters, iirc, corroborated the "token" enrichment breakthrough

but until i see official confirmation from washington, i ain't believing nothing




ali larijani in late march 2025 said

"We are not moving towards (nuclear) weapons, but if you do something wrong in the Iranian nuclear issue, you will force Iran to move towards that because it has to defend itself".

"Iran does not want to do this, but ... (it) will have no choice," he added.

"If at some point you (the US) move towards bombing by yourself or through Israel, you will force Iran to make a different decision."
ali shamkhani in late october 2025

expressed strategic regret about not getting a nuke when he was the defense minister

and said if he could go back in time, he would get it and if he is made defense minister he will get a nuke



well, ali larijani is the nsa, head of the peacetime security council

ali shamkhani is currently the head of the defense council (it is the wartime security council that'll manage the war)

so the two strategic heads of iran's peacetime and wartime security councils have publicly expressed a desire to obtain a nuke

the us and israel only attacked the three well-known nuclear sites at fordow, natanz, and isfahan
they have several other sites with intact centrifuges

only an omnipresent preternatural being can explain why iran has not tested a nuke by today
instead they're playing games with the riff raffs in washington

Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by LordAdam16: 9:29pm On Feb 25
we have some reporting on the proposal
nothing is concrete since this isn't official

axios is reporting that iran's proposal is that it will enrich uranium to 20% at only one facility -- the tehran research reactor
enrichment will be supervised by the iaea
after an unspecified period of time (israeli media claims it is 7 years), all restrictions on enrichment will be lifted

in the jcpoa deal
the initial limit is 3.67% and restrictions will remain for 15 years




on the existing stock of HEU
iran's red line is that nothing will leave iran

they currently have 400kg of 60% enriched uranium

unclear in the deal if they offered dilution
although that is assumed
shamkhani already publicly offered reduction to 20%

in the jcpoa deal
the cap on stockpile size was 300kg of 3.67% uranium for 15 years




nothing on sanctions relief

it is assumed they're demanding full sanctions relief




how the loudmouth will sell this to congress, i have no idea

forget about the genocidal maniacs

PS: 20% is not some arbitrary number. the tehran research reactor which they use to produce radioisotopes for nuclear medicine needs 20%.

under the jcpoa deal, they could only enrich at natanz to 3.67% so they had to export their 3.67% and import 20%

โšกAnother massive Russian airstrikes on an F-16 trans-shipment air base with jets, equipment, and NATO, US, UK, EU pilots and mercenaries.

On Sunday, February 23, the Russian Armed Forces hit the Kanatovo airbase in Kropyvnytskyi (Kirovograd) with Iskanders, said Sergei Lebedev, coordinator of the Mykolaiv underground.

It should be noted here that Kanatovo is a military base where foreign equipment and the remnants of the equipment of the AFU were stored, which was inherited from our Soviet army.

Secondly, the Armed Forces of Ukraine used this airbase as a trans-shipment base for receiving foreign aircraft of the F-16 type and everything related to it. We are talking about engineering equipment, weapons. But the most important thing is human resources, engineering staff and other specialists," Lipovoy said.

According to the military expert, the strike was carried out on the airbase when there was a maximum accumulation of foreign equipment, aircraft and personnel.
Beautiful news....

The cumulative total stands at last count 239 dead Russians and 13,200, dead Ukrainians.
