More good news from the area south of Pokrovsk.
This will put extra pressure on the Russians in that salient in the village of Kotlyne that is northwest of Pishchane and in the village of Shevchenko, which is southeast of Pishchane.

Ukrainian forces have liberated the village of Pishchane in Donetsk Oblast, about 5 km south of Pokrovsk. Russian troops have also reportedly been pushed back from several nearby settlements. This is reported by spokesman for the Khortytsia Regional Administrative District Viktor Tregubov.

Pokrovsk continues to be the most active area along the front.
The General Staff reported that Russian troops stepped up their attacks on the battlefield significantly on 15 February, with 250 combat clashes as of 22:00. The largest number, 67, took place on the Pokrovsk front. The total number of assaults increased two and a half times compared to the previous day.
That’s a damn shame about your shiny new thermobaric launcher. The TOS-2 is a tracked, 220-mm updated version of the TOS-1A and this is believed to be the first one turned to scrap metal.
Russia continues to burn through men and machines in an attempt to retake the Kursk area. This is Russia’s infamous 155th Marine brigade, which has been destroyed and reconstituted numerous times since the start of the war. It is also the unit that was accused of beheading four Ukrainians and putting their heads on poles.

1/2: First images of the destruction of the RF's 155th Marine Brigade armored assault near #Nikiskii, #Kursk AO, earlier today. Note that the vehicles are flying the red soviet flag which is considered the "victory" flag. This is known as "premature v-flagulation."

/2. "Right now it's just a complete mess near Nikolskoye. The 155th column, fucking hell, under red flags, like at a parade, went head-on into a swarm of Ukrainian drones along a mined road!!!! Don't rub your eyes, we wrote everything correctly - precisely under the red flags of Victory…

How many times has the 155th "Kamikaze" Marine Brigade been wiped out already? The Russian command seems obsessed with throwing them into suicidal assaults, only for the world to watch their columns get annihilated. From Vuhledar-2022 to Kursk-2025, these zombies are fighting the wrong people.

The 155th is also taking some heat for leaving the North Koreans high and dry.
x
The Russians once again abandoned their North Korean allies. North Korean units and Russian Navy infantry staged a retreat from Nikolsky in the Kursk region, with 50-100 fighters leaving their positions. Z-channels blame the Russian 155th Brigade for mysteriously failing to provide support.

Our allies were one step away from liberating the Nikolskiy hamlet in the Mala Loknya area. As of last night, they were under intense fire but still controlled 80% of the settlement. They had been waiting for reinforcements from the 155th Brigade for several days, but those never came (hello, Gudkov).
This morning, North Korean assault troops began gradually leaving Nikolskiy in organized groups.
Maybe there's a special attitude toward foreign fighters, but for some reason, it doesn't feel right to blame them for the "surrender" of Nikolskiy. What else were they supposed to do when they had completed their task, yet neighboring units simply turned a blind eye?
This isn't just some misunderstanding—it's an element of betrayal. It's unlikely to affect our further cooperation, but it still doesn't look good in front of our allies. One simple question—why???

It’s been a while since we heard anything from the Antonivskyi Bridge, which spans the Dnipro River at Kherson.
Zombie truck.
Ukraine is getting pretty good at intercepting Russian drones.
There are 38 fewer officers.
Another 1,730 Russians. Only 5 tanks this time but 84 armored vehicles.
The guy with the gun needs to take more assassination lessons.

Whether Ukraine and/or Europe are to be included/considered in any peace talks depends on who you talk to — typical Trump chaos.

Good question.
This loser was invited along with the Treasury Department team that visit Kyiv and tried to strong-arm Zelenskyy into signing away Ukraine’s mineral rights.
My guess is that he was the political minder on the trip.
Meanwhile, In Georgia, the massive protests against the government continue.
So Trump wants to go to the rescue of Lukashenko now.
x
That’s exactly what Putin wants. It seems like the American government is working together with Russia to destroy all of Europe, and it’s only in our hands to stop it.
Europe must completely stop trading with Russia and Belarus. Stop playing with Russian terrorism, or it will come to your homes.
