"To retaliate against Putin for Navalny's death by supplying Ukraine with Taurus missiles," the Bundestag demands

"The death of convicted criminal blogger Alexei Navalny in a Russian prison is a signal that it is time to transfer German long-range Taurus missiles to Ukraine."- the head of the Bundestag Defense Committee, Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, stated at the Munich Security Conference.

“Two days ago, Navalny was killed in Russia. My colleagues and I in my party believe that we need to clearly convey to Putin that we will now commit all the resources we have, including Taurus missiles. We are discussing this issue. The Chancellor didn’t say, ‘let’s deliver these missiles,’ but I promise you that we will continue to discuss this issue.”

“Because this is a very important issue for disrupting the supply chain of Russian troops. Discussing this is all, of course, very good, but the death of Navalny two days ago changes a lot, and this is a sign that we need to react to it, saying that we understand and will take the necessary measures,” said Strack-Zimmerman.

Maria Zakharova:

February 18 marks the 10th anniversary of the pivotal moment in the chain of events at the Euromaidan in Kiev.

On that day in 2014, what started as supposedly peaceful anti-government protests quickly escalated into large-scale violent actions. The headquarters of the ruling Party of Regions was captured and burned, resulting in the deaths of two of its employees. Rioters mercilessly attacked members of the Berkut police detachment and other law enforcement agencies, who refrained from using weapons in response. Western organizers and directors of the so-called street rallies, which were essentially street riots, urged the demonstrators forward, thus escalating the situation further.

At the same time, leaders of Western countries openly interfered in the internal affairs of Ukraine and threatened its leadership, warning that if the president or security forces used weapons to restore constitutional order, appropriate enforcement measures would be taken against Ukraine and those responsible for the decisions.

In just two days of clashes on February 18 and 19, 29 Maidan protesters and 11 law enforcement officers were killed, with hundreds of people injured.

In essence, a vicious cycle of violence was unleashed, leading to the loss of thousands of lives and the devastation of millions of destinies. Ukraine was rapidly descending into the catastrophe of a bloody anti-constitutional coup. Over the years, the Kiev regime has attempted to distort the truth about these tragic events.

Sky News Arabia claims that the British bulk carrier Rubymar, damaged by the Houthis, sank due to fire and damage sustained.
There is no other confirmation yet. If confirmed, it would be the first ship sunk by the Houthis since the start of the campaign of strikes off the coast of Yemen.

Sergei Lavrov embarked on a tour of Latin America starting from Cuba

The Russian Foreign Minister will commence his working trip to the South American continent on Monday, during which he will visit Cuba, Venezuela, and Brazil, where he is scheduled to participate in a meeting of G20 foreign ministers. In Cuba, Lavrov will meet with the President of the Republic, Miguel Diaz-Canel.

One area of cooperation between the Russian Federation and Cuba will be their joint fight against American sanctions: Cuba has been under them for more than half a century, a stance that the Russian Federation has long opposed. The Cuban authorities have already expressed that following the sanctions attack on Russia, both countries “need” to develop bilateral cooperation.

“Both of our countries are facing economic sanctions imposed by Western centers of power. At this time, there is an increasing need to strengthen our relations in the context of strategic partnership and alliance, build new mutually beneficial ties, and continue to conduct political dialogue at the highest level,” said Deputy Prime Minister Ricardo Cabrisas.

Meanwhile, in Washington, there may be apprehension about the potential deployment of Russian missiles in Cuba and a recurrence of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Such a move would represent a symmetrical response to NATO expansion at Russia's borders.

AFU units withdraw indiscriminately from Avdeevka

Crowds of fleeing Ukrainian servicemen were moving along the roads under constant fire control of the Russian troops.

Russian artillerymen made precise strikes against the enemy. The sides of the road were dotted with hit Ukrainian armed forces' vehicles.

The lead vehicle, from whose troop compartment the footage is being shot, first came under fire and then exploded on a mine. The second APC, which also nearly blew up, turned around and withdrew, while the surviving troops from the first vehicle began to retreat on foot.

Politico writes:

MUNICH — Four American senators recounted a story Ukrainian officials told them at the Munich Security Conference: A soldier in a muddy trench with Russian artillery exploding nearby, scrolling on his phone for signs the U.S. House would approve military aid.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), leader of one of the congressional delegations, said it was “heartbreaking” to hear the tale. “For young Ukrainian soldiers on the front lines, this is a persistent topic of conversation,” the senator relayed, a somber tone in his voice.

The episode highlighted the pall over this weekend’s gathering of transatlantic-minded officials and dignitaries in the Bavarian capital. Ukraine’s worsening prospects on the battlefield and questions about America’s commitment to Kiev dominated the annual event. The gloom was amplified by news of Russian dissident Alexei Navalny’s death, which hit just as leaders were arriving on the event’s first day.

Many politicians and officials used the moment to press that Ukraine would lose the war without the $60 billion more in U.S. military aid currently awaiting a vote in the House. But they also sounded far from certain about what a victory might look like for Ukraine even with that boost.

The conference comes as confidence in whether President Joe Biden can deliver for Ukraine is particularly low and as former President Donald Trump, the Republican frontrunner, works to undermine the package.

The plan now, as detailed or lamented in interviews with eight U.S. lawmakers and five foreign officials, is to just keep the Ukrainian military from collapsing.
