Russian losses per 15/02/26 reported by the Ukrainian General Staff

+1250 men
+4 tanks
+6 ACVs
+11 artillery
+3 (!) MLRS
+552 UAVs

Ukraine’s air defenses shot down or suppressed 55 Russian UAVs as of 08:00 after an overnight attack involving 83 strike drones, about 50 of them Shahed type. Twenty five drones hit 12 locations, with debris falling at three sites.

Russia is not serious about peace. Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin said Moscow is "ready to discuss with the US and other countries the idea of external governance of Ukraine under UN auspices", proposing a temporary administration role.

That will be a very short conversation.

A Shahed drone attack damaged infrastructure and railway facilities in Odesa, the regional administration said. A railway fuel tanker was hit, causing a spill and fire. The roof of an abandoned building also caught fire but was extinguished. No casualties are reported.

Footage published from February 12 shows a Ukrainian MIM-104 Patriot air defense system intercepting two Russian Iskander-M ballistic missiles over Kyiv. In the same video, a cruise missile can also be seen being destroyed in the sky during the attack.

Russian authorities reported a “massive attack” on the Krasnodar region, saying a fuel storage tank, warehouse and terminals were allegedly damaged in the village of Volna in Temryuk district. Damage was also reported in Sochi and Yurovka.

President Zelensky said in Munich that leaders of the Berlin format agreed on energy and military aid packages for Ukraine before Feb 24. He said deliveries must arrive quickly, noting Russia attacked Ukraine this week with about 1,300 drones, over 1,200 guided bombs and 50 missiles.
