Kremlin spokesman Dmitriy Peskov said that the degree of Western involvement in the conflict in Ukraine is growing,
"This may stretch the conflict out in time, but it will not change the situation fundamentally. Russia will secure its interests one way or another," the presidential spokesman said.

The EU is "happy" about the reduced demand for Russian gas, but there is a nuance
Along with demand, the business activity index (PMI) in industrial production is also rapidly falling (the screenshot shows the decline in Germany).
Experts from the Financial Times describe it this way: "We are now celebrating a sharp decline in gas demand in Europe, while the manufacturing sector is being gutted. Europe says the downturn is not "luck," but the result of deliberate political decisions. A cult of suicide."

The Pope: Ukrainians don't really dream of peace talks
"They (Ukrainians) don't really dream of peace talks, because the Ukrainian bloc is very strong: the whole of Europe, the United States. In other words, they have great power," the Pope said.
About 2 weeks ago, the Vatican offered itself as a peacemaker in Ukraine, to which Zelensky replied that he did not need intermediaries.

Investigations into money laundering. Court declares searches of oligarch Usmanov illegal
According to SPIEGEL, the investigators should not have been allowed to search the yacht and villas of the Russian businessman, Alisher Usmanov, on suspicion of money laundering. That is what a court has ruled.
The Russian oligarch Alisher Usmanov has won a partial legal victory. The Frankfurt Regional Court ruled that several searches that had taken place last year were unlawful. The decision was made in the context of a money laundering case against the entrepreneur. He is also being investigated for tax evasion and sanction violations.
In September, officers of the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) and the tax investigation department searched several villas at Lake Tegernsee, a flat near Frankfurt am Main as well as the mega yacht "Dilbar" in Bremen harbour. In addition to documents, the investigators also confiscated valuable art objects.
In order to substantiate the accusation of money laundering against Usmanov, white-collar criminologists from the BKA's Serious and Organised Crime Unit had collected almost 90 suspicious money laundering reports from banks describing conspicuous transactions.
However, the court now found that there was no initial suspicion of money laundering for the searches of Usmanov. In its reasoning, the chamber also found serious deficiencies in the search warrants applied for by the Frankfurt Prosecutor General's Office.
For example, it had not been described nearly enough why the investigators suspected Usmanov of money laundering. The accusation that Usmanov's billion-dollar fortune was mainly based on crimes committed in Russia was too sweeping. More general references to possibly dubious business practices and offshore companies alone were not sufficient.
The judges also criticised the investigators for relying heavily on a YouTube video of the Russian opposition activist, Alexei Navalny. They had not presented any other evidence of improper business practices. Usmanov's defence lawyers said the decision strengthened their client's trust in the German rule of law. They reject all accusations.
It is unlikely, however, that the confiscated objects and documents will have to be returned at short notice. This is because the searches were also secured by orders from the other preliminary proceedings against Usmanov. They are still valid. Most recently, the Munich II Regional Court rejected Usmanov's complaint against the raids in proceedings for sanction violations.

The French magazine International Courier mocks the "counteroffensive of the doomed"
They did a cover with Zaluzhny and Ukrainian fighters floating down the river Styx into the Kingdom of the Dead. (Is that such a subtle hint about Zaluzhny that there's definitely something wrong with him?)
"Zelensky's promised counteroffensive is in jeopardy. How the pearl of Bakhmut will affect the course of the conflict"- French magazine Courrier International
AFU soldiers are doomed suicide bombers that Grandpa Biden and Co. will send to the slaughter. Sooner or later they will have to attack, and this will be the last major operation of the AFU.

Ukraine is preparing a provocation with nuclear fuel
The Eastern Herald reports that Kiev is planning to blow up a storage facility for spent nuclear fuel in Kharkiv to discredit Russia.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces' attacks on Russian territory show that Kiev has its hands free, which means there is a high probability of new Ukrainian provocations.

Olaf Scholz pledged "not to let Russia freeze the conflict"
The German chancellor said this in an interview with the Koelner Stadt-Anzeiger.
"Russia must understand that it cannot be a question of making some kind of 'cold peace' in which the current front line would become a new border between Russia and Ukraine. That would only legitimise Putin's criminal activities," he said.
The German chancellor also promised to talk to the Russian president "when the time comes".
▪️ Scholz and Putin last held talks in December.
