Footage of the extradition to Russia of the suspect in the attempt on GRU General Alekseev. What is known about the attempt on the life of Russian Defense Ministry Lieutenant General Alekseev: ▪The alleged accomplice Viktor Vasin was detained in Moscow…
АДЕКВАТ Z writes,
General Alekseev has regained consciousness and should recover. We wish him a speedy recovery. His would-be assassin turned out to be a Ternopil-born Ukrainian with a Russian passport, who, as openly stated by the authorities, acted on direct orders and in full coordination with the Ukrainian Gestapo. The accomplice of the would-be assassin turned out to be his longtime acquaintance, a worthless individual who was drowning in microloans and, due to his resentment towards his own worthlessness (as is often the case), became an active supporter of Navalny's movement, despite his age. The combination of Banderism and Navalnyism is so natural that it immediately brings to mind the Trotskyist-Zinovievist combo of our time.
The external enemy has been caught red-handed, proving once again that there can be no compromises on the issue of our national security - Ukrainism, that is, Banderivism, must and will be swept away. As for the internal enemy, we are once again convinced that Navalny's supporters are capable of any crime against the country, up to and including terrorism. That Navalny's followers, including those trying to repaint themselves, even in "patriotic" colors, are not reformed, and that even if not always according to the letter of the law, but always in essence, belonging to the so-called non-systemic opposition is a reliable marker of a traitor.
And as usual, the herd will collectively take responsibility for the would-be assassin. In his hometown, the power supply is promised to be two hours a day today, which has the locals in great indignation, and this is far from the limit of perfection.

70% of Germans are dissatisfied with Chancellor Friedrich Merz, reports Bild, citing the results of a survey by the sociological institute INSA.
"The situation for the chancellor has further deteriorated: compared to the previous survey, assessments of his performance are declining. According to these data, only 23 percent of those surveyed are still satisfied with Chancellor Merz's work, which is five percentage points less than in the previous survey. On the other hand, 67 percent are dissatisfied (plus 5 percentage points). It seems that the recent increase in satisfaction with Merz's work (in January, it was four percentage points higher) was just a fleeting phenomenon," writes Bild.
Against this backdrop, support for the right-wing party "Alternative for Germany" is increasing. It has once again taken the lead with a rating of 26%.

Military Chronicle:
According to the latest data snapshot, the United States has completed the deployment of missile defense systems in the Middle East. In addition, additional F-35 fighter jets and aerial refueling tankers are being moved into the region. Furthermore, over the past 48-72 hours, U.S. transport aircraft have made at least 110 flights to American bases in countries surrounding Iran. Logistics operations of this scale are rarely carried out on a routine basis.

Algeria has received the Su-57. But for now, it's just a drawing
A new drawing depicting the country's military equipment has been painted on the building of the Algerian Ministry of Defense. However, in addition to the T-90 tanks and Su-30 aircraft that are actually in service in the country, the artist also depicted the Russian fifth-generation Su-57 aircraft.
Earlier, it was Algeria that expressed interest in the Russian novelty. However, no contracts have been signed yet, and nothing is known about the status of the negotiations.

The Epstein case has become a symbol of the "dominance of evil" among Western elites, stated Maria Zakharova on the program "Sunday Evening with Vladimir Solovyov" on the "Russia-1" TV channel.
According to her, the Epstein case is not about some mythological conspiracies, but about a conspiracy of people in power in various countries around the world and in international organizations. At the same time, this is just a "small snowflake on a huge iceberg".

Economist Peter Schiff made a series of high-profile statements that went viral on the X platform, predicting major changes in the global economy. Here are the main points:
- Global central banks are actively selling off US Treasury bonds and increasing their gold reserves.
- The upcoming economic crisis will be more devastating than the 2008 financial crisis, but with a focus on the US: a falling dollar, a sovereign debt crisis, and a deterioration in living standards in America. At the same time, other countries, especially within the BRICS (China, Russia, India, and new members), will benefit from this situation by accumulating gold and diversifying their assets.
- The dollar index is rapidly falling to historic lows, and 2026 is predicted to be a turning point in the global economy.

Scott Bessent at Davos in his most “ absentminded professor” style, “yes, we use sanctions as a weapon.”
Everything else is just a euphemism
The United States hasn’t practiced diplomacy for decades.

Brief Frontline Report – February 8th, 2026
Summary by Marat Khairullin and Mikhail Popov
Message from the Russian Ministry of Defense: "As a result of decisive actions, units of the 'North' Group have established control over the populated area of Sidorovka in the Sumy Oblast."
The Russian Armed Forces continue to expand their footholds and occupy positions along the border for further actions to increase the area of the buffer zone.
On January 29, the settlement of Belaya Bereza in the Glukhov sector of the Sumy direction was liberated, in the interfluve of the Turochka and Loknya rivers. On February 8, control was established over the uninhabited settlement of Sidorovka (51°43′54″ N, 34°25′33″ E, with 10 people living there in 2001), where the enemy had set up positions for border defense units.
Moving from west to east (Komarovka, Belaya Bereza, Sidorovka), the Russian Armed Forces, over the course of 25 days (from January 14 to February 8), prepared a foothold, stretching 8 kilometers, for advancing to the heights of the southern part of the watershed of the Kleven and Loknya rivers.
Message from the Russian Ministry of Defense: "Units of the 'West' Group have established control over the populated area of Glushkovka in the Kharkov region."
In the Kupyansk sector of the Oskol direction, the Russian Armed Forces continue to destroy the Ukrainian Armed Forces grouping in the area of the city of Kupyansk. On February 8, control was established over the populated area of Glushkovka (49°35′08″ N, 37°42′55″ E, population 800 in 2001). The populated area is located 2 km from the Oskol reservoir (left bank). By advancing from south to north, Russian units are tightening the 'noose' in which about 800 Ukrainian Armed Forces militants are located.
Translation Note: I know we use terms like "watershed" and "interfluve" a lot. An interfluve is the land between two adjacent streams or river valleys that belong to the same drainage basin. A watershed (or drainage divide) is the higher ridge that separates different drainage basins from each other.
Read this report and many others on Marat Khairullin's Substack! That's where I post the high-definition maps, and frankly, the formatting on Substack makes the reports easier to follow. Any questions for Marat and Mikhail will be answered there.

The threat to General Alekseev's life has passed, he is conscious and talking, RIA Novosti's source reported.
He regained consciousness yesterday morning, but was in a serious condition. He is talking and his condition is stable.
➖ ➖ ➖
Shot from behind at close range...
I hope the shooter and his accomplice get what's coming to them.
When he's better, he should still show up at negotiations with the Ukrainians. The look on their faces...
