Iran War-Linked Oil Windsfall: Zelenskyy Claims Russia Made $10B in 2 Weeks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Ukrainian intelligence estimates Russia earned about $10 billion in two weeks of the US-Israel war with Iran, roughly 10% of its 2026 oil deficit. He warns that the Trump administration’s temporary easing of sanctions on Russian oil for about four weeks could aid Putin, as oil prices rise and Tehran’s actions threaten the Strait of Hormuz. The report underscores Russia’s reliance on energy revenue amid sanctions.

Russia warns of 'new level' of destruction after Storm Shadow strike as Ukraine widens attacks

Russia blames the UK for a Storm Shadow strike on a Bryansk military microelectronics plant and warns of a ‘fundamentally new level’ of destruction, while Kyiv says the facility was hit; Ukraine conducted overnight strikes on Russian depots, air defenses, and other targets in occupied areas; Sochi endured a mass Ukrainian drone campaign for about a day; Moscow accuses Kyiv of targeting Black Sea gas-pipeline facilities and saboteurs near TurkStream/Blue Stream, as Gazprom sites come under attack; Russia says it downed 185 Ukrainian drones overnight, and the US issued a 30‑day waiver allowing India to keep buying Russian oil to maintain flows.

Russia repels record Ukrainian drone wave as peace talks loom in Switzerland

Russia's Defense Ministry says its air defenses shot down more than 150 Ukrainian drones overnight—the largest wave this year—broken down as 79 over the Black Sea/Sea of Azov, 38 over Crimea, and 18 over the Krasnodar region. A 9-year-old was injured in Sevastopol; the Ilsky Oil Refinery in Krasnodar caught fire. About a dozen airports reported temporary flight restrictions as 27 more drones were downed on Tuesday morning, ahead of a fresh round of peace talks in Switzerland between Russia and Ukraine.

Bryansk bears the brunt of a 'strongest' strike as missiles shrink Kyiv’s flight time

Ukraine says Bryansk region endured its most powerful and widespread attack yet, with ballistic missiles and drones launched toward Kyiv and aimed at crippling energy facilities; authorities report hundreds of unmanned aircraft shot down (about 229) and note Russia’s air defenses are stretched along the border, making Kyiv’s flight times a matter of minutes. Kyiv and analysts say such strikes serve to deter Ukraine, while Zelenskyy warns Moscow could mount a new large-scale assault as tensions rise.

Drone strike ignites fires at Russian Black Sea port ahead of renewed peace talks

A Ukrainian drone strike hit Russia’s Black Sea port of Taman, starting fires and damaging an oil storage tank, warehouse and terminals and wounding two people, while debris from Russian drones damaged civilian infrastructure in Ukraine’s Odesa region, disrupting power and water supplies, ahead of a new round of US-brokered talks in Geneva; Kyiv said it expects European energy and military aid by February 24 as diplomacy continues, and Western officials warned Moscow still seeks concessions. At Munich, European leaders urged that any lasting peace require security guarantees and cautioned that lifting sanctions could enable Russia to re-arm; Slovakia’s Fico accused Kyiv of delaying a pipeline restart to pressure Hungary over EU membership, while Russia’s army chief claimed gains near eastern villages, though these claims could not be independently verified.

Peace Talks in the Balance: Territorial Concessions Meet Western Guarantees in Ukraine War

Peace Talks in the Balance: Territorial Concessions Meet Western Guarantees in Ukraine War

ISW warns that Western reporting suggests the United States may have accepted a Russia-driven sequence in peace talks that would see Ukraine cede territory (notably parts of Donetsk) before any formal Western security guarantees, a framework Kyiv has signaled it could accept only with meaningful protections—a setup that risks leaving Ukraine exposed to renewed Russian aggression. Moscow remains unreconciled on guarantees and seeks further territorial gains, complicating a durable peace. Western aid to Ukraine continues, Russia’s economy appears strained, and fighting persists across multiple fronts with ongoing drone/missile campaigns and strikes on energy and rear infrastructure.

Energy strikes tilt leverage as trilateral talks loom in Ukraine war

As Ukraine, Russia and the US head toward a trilateral meeting in Abu Dhabi, Russian strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure have left large parts of the country without heat or power in freezing conditions, a tactic Kyiv says is meant to pressure concessions on territory. Zelenskyy says only the territorial issue remains unresolved after Davos talks that produced security guarantees, while Ukraine rushes repairs and bolsters air defences. The energy assault underscores Moscow’s leverage-at-war strategy, with the IAEA noting risks to nuclear cooling at Chernobyl and UNICEF warning of harm to children amid the outages.

Russia’s 2025 strike surge drives record civilian toll in Ukraine, ISW finds

Russia’s 2025 strike surge drives record civilian toll in Ukraine, ISW finds

A Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, drawing on Bloomberg and UN HRMMU data, says 2025 saw a record civilian toll in Ukraine from Russian strikes: roughly 2,400–2,512 killed and about 12,000–12,142 injured, up about 30% from 2024, with 97% of casualties in Ukrainian-controlled areas. Russia expanded its strike packages and drone campaigns (hundreds of missiles per package at times, thousands of drones), aided by partners, and focused heavily on energy infrastructure. Ukraine continued long-range strikes against Russian defense-industrial assets. Western sanctions are likely to constrain Russia’s aircraft production, while Russia’s leadership changes were noted (a senior commander reportedly dismissed). The takeaway is a intensified, more destructive campaign in 2025 that increased civilian harm while maintaining pressure across multiple fronts.

Ukraine's Drone Strikes Target Russian Energy Infrastructure Amid Gas War

Ukraine has intensified its long-range drone campaign targeting Russia's energy infrastructure, launching at least 58 attacks since August, which have significantly disrupted Russian refineries and fuel supplies, impacting Russia's economy and war effort. The campaign aims to create shortages and weaken Russia’s energy trade, while both sides continue to escalate their drone capabilities amidst shifting political support and international dynamics.
