Russia would need at least two years to seize Donbas and would not last that long, President Zelensky said. He said such an attempt would cost Russia another 800,000 dead soldiers and advance only slowly. Zelensky added that freezing the front line is already a concession by Ukraine.
The end of this war will not happen in Ukraine but in Russia. The Russian army is now incapable of any sustained offense. Once Kyiv gets its hands on accurate long range cruise missiles and uses them to take out Putin's capacity for striking the Ukrainian civilians, sanctions and the Chinese will do the rest.

55K seems like a crazy low number for Ukraine. If Russia has 1M dead, that would be an 18:1 KDR. That's hard to believe.

One or both of those numbers seem to be wrong. If I had to bet I’d bet both are.

Starlink whitelist is working — authorized terminals operate normally. We continue verification and are working with
@SpaceX
to ensure rapid terminal registration. This is the first case globally being implemented in real time. Grateful to the SpaceX team for their 24/7 engagement.

Yes, and Russian bloggers are complaining about how many Ru Starlink 'accounts' are now shut down. The previously discussed work-arounds won't help if the set is not registered and recognized. Unless of course there's frickery at Starlink's security office...

Statement of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine: FP-5 Flamingo used to strike infrastructure at the Kapustin Yar test range.
In January 2026, the Defence Forces of Ukraine conducted a series of strikes against hangar-type facilities used for pre-launch preparation of medium-range intercontinental ballistic missiles at the Kapustin Yar test range. [600km distance].
The strikes were carried out using Ukrainian-made long-range strike assets, primarily the FP-5 Flamingo.
According to available information, several facilities sustained damage of varying severity. One hangar was critically damaged, and part of the personnel was evacuated from the site.

The Ukrainians aren't taking credit for this one.
We can save the investigators some time... just go straight to the Timkin bearings on the truck axles. You know, the ones that are 25 years old and only available from the West?

Likely old lead babbitt bearings most common if 40 years ago. Babbitt being lead, antimony and tin. That's all you need to be honest about it.

there are usually 150-200 clashes reported per day - rough estimate
Number of frontline Russian assaults falls after Starlink access is blocked for Russians
VALENTYNA ROMANENKO — 5 February, 18:55
Russian forces have reduced the number of assault operations on the front line since Ukraine and SpaceX reached an agreement on blocking unregistered Starlink satellite internet terminals.
Source: Radio Liberty, citing sources in the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
Details: Sources told the media outlet that the number of Russian assaults has decreased in some areas, while in other sectors attacks have stopped altogether.
According to the General Staff's report as of 16:00 on 5 February, Ukrainian forces had recorded 56 combat clashes along the front line since the beginning of the day.
Military radio technology expert Serhii "Flash" Beskrestnov reported that Russian forces experienced a mass outage of Starlink terminals on 5 February. The Russians are complaining that they are unable to restore connectivity and that this will affect the coordination of their actions along the entire front line.
