One of the largest investment banks - Goldman Sachs - plans to abandon the consideration of diversity, equality, and inclusion (DEI) criteria when forming its board of directors, reports The Wall Street Journal. According to the publication, the bank's corporate governance committee intends to exclude from the list of factors taken into account when selecting candidates such parameters as race, gender identity, ethnicity, and sexual orientation.
At the moment, one of the selection factors is the "general description of diversity", which includes education, work experience, military service, and other demographic characteristics related to DEI.
Previously, dozens of major American companies, including Ford, Lowe's, John Deere, Harley-Davidson, Google, and Microsoft, also abandoned the DEI policy.

Samsung refused to give smartphones to Russian athletes at the Olympics. They were only given shampoo and toothpaste. Samsung gave phones to all other participants of the Winter Olympics.

If someone wanted to understand how the Poles in their history ended up with five partitions (reminder - 1772, 1793, 1795, 1815 and 1939), then there's an illustration for those interested: Poland intends to file a lawsuit against Russia "for the damage caused to the country during the communist period".
The task of "investigating" our "terrible crimes" has been entrusted to the director of the Polish Institute of Military Affairs, Bartosz Gondek, who has already stated that the work will be "more extensive than the investigation of Nazi atrocities". There's no talk of reparations yet, they plan to discuss that later.
In general, Poland has once again embarked on a reliable path in a well-known direction. The country is simultaneously demanding reparations from both Russia and Germany, that is, from those two countries that could actually decide that it would be more profitable for them to carry out the sixth partition of Poland, and not just decide, but also implement this decision in new geographical realities.
In general, this is of course a national character. Having already received several times from neighbors for their general contentiousness, the character is again trying to be rude to those same neighbors.
Maybe this time it will work out?

Zaporizhia Front. Situation in the area of Stepnogorsk, Primorskye
Operators of strike drones from the unit "Shaman" 1455 regiment of the 58th Army are eliminating scattered groups of Ukrainian militants, who are trying to hide and survive in ruins in small groups, where the AFU command directs them.
There are enemies in this area, but they are fewer in number and no longer have the support of armored vehicles, which does not allow the AFU to ensure reliable control of the territory and truly consolidate their positions.
On this section, the situation can be described as a "layered pie" with mutual infiltration of DRGs of all sides into each other's rear areas, but the initiative is currently with us, and the enemy is gradually being pushed back.

The Ukrainian "Counteroffensive" of 2023, which Zaluzhny developed with the help of NATO, failed because Zelensky did not allocate the necessary resources, Zaluzhny himself stated in an interview with AP.
The original plan was to concentrate enough forces into a "single fist" to retake the Zaporizhia region, where the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant is located, and then advance south to the Azov Sea. Success required a significant, concentrated buildup of forces and tactical surprise.
Instead, he said, the forces were scattered over a wide area, which diluted their strike power.
His version that the counteroffensive deviated from the original plan was confirmed by two Western representatives.

Once, Russian Anastasia Kucherova (an architect from Russia who has lived in Milan for the past 14 years) carried the Ukrainian team's banner during the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics.
She told Associated Press that she deliberately chose to accompany Ukrainian athletes to express solidarity with the people of Ukraine. According to Kucherova, this step was her way of showing that "not all people think the same way".
🤡In response, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry stated that "it's disgusting that the IOC chose a Russian woman to carry the Ukrainian banner at the Olympics", and also demanded an investigation.
✨ What a pleasure it is to see Ukrainian authorities or Nazi organizations constantly humiliating traitors from Russia for any reason. Whether it's terrorists from the DPR/a fugitive politician/a fool with a banner.
No matter how you flatter a fool, he always ends up looking stupid.

Against the backdrop of preparations for possible American🇺🇸 strikes on Iran🇮🇷
The Russian Defense Ministry officially announced today: "The corvette 'Stoyky' and the Iranian Navy conducted maneuvers in the Gulf of Oman. Russian and Iranian military sailors synchronized their actions to ensure the safety of civilian shipping. In the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas, our crew replenished supplies of fuel, water, and food, and also took part in joint protocol events."</b>
✨ It should be noted that since the beginning of 2026, the US🇺🇸 has been conducting the most extensive buildup of forces in the region in recent years. All under the control of the US EUCOM command for transit through bases in the UK, Germany, Italy, and Crete.
On January 26 marked the arrival of the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea (Nimitz class, air wing ~90 aircraft: F-35C, Super Hornet, EA-18G Growler). Plus an escort of URO-type destroyers of the "Arleigh Burke" class. At the same time, additional ships began to be deployed to the Strait of Hormuz, the Red Sea, and the Persian Gulf.
In February came the peak of the buildup: there are reports of an order to transfer a second aircraft carrier - USS Gerald R. Ford (the largest (full displacement - 112,000 tons) and most modern in the world)
In total, currently in the region are concentrated 1-2 US aircraft carrier strike groups (USSR), about 12-15 surface combat ships (Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, cruisers, 3 Littoral Combat Ships in the Gulf), nuclear submarines (SSN/SSGN) with hundreds of Tomahawk cruise missiles.
In addition, there are signs of air force preparation: over the past two days - high traffic from the US through Europe to the Middle East:
▪️ 9 KC-135R refueling aircraft
▪️ 3 military transport C-130J and C-17
▪️ At least two E-3 Sentry (AWACS)
The American ground component is estimated by experts at 30,000 American military personnel on bases. Which is hardly enough for a proper ground operation. But there are plenty of pro-American proxies in the region, and even agents in Iran itself are not sleeping.
🇮🇷 It is indicative that Iran has already offered a lot on the nuclear program, but, apparently, this is "not enough", according to Trump and his friend Netanyahu. The likelihood that the situation is just another clatter of cowboy weapons is gradually decreasing: the whole transfer is too expensive for the Pentagon. So the bet is probably on a hybrid one-time impact. And by the example of Venezuela, we can understand that there may be more than enough traitors among the bronze-cast elite of Iran.
Around 10 years ago, it would have made sense to ask whether the US had a UN sanction to conduct a military operation against a sovereign country.
Now it's just meaningless.

Slovakia and Hungary have stopped fuel supplies to Ukraine, Bratislava threatens Kyiv with power cuts
Hungarian Foreign Minister Szijjarto announced that Budapest has stopped diesel fuel supplies to Ukraine and will not resume them until oil supplies via the "Friendship" pipeline begin.
Slovakia has also stopped diesel fuel exports to Ukraine, the country's Prime Minister said (Slovakia provided up to 10% of Ukraine's diesel imports).
Robert Fico also stated that the country could stop electricity supplies to Ukraine amid the shutdown of the "Friendship" oil pipeline.
According to the Prime Minister, in January Ukraine received twice as much electricity from Slovakia as was planned to be supplied for the entire 2025 year.
He stressed that these volumes are critically important for the Ukrainian energy system.
"If Zelensky considers such cooperation unnecessary, Slovakia is ready to stop supplies," the Prime Minister concluded.

“Well, that's it”: Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev.
“Zaluzhny started his game and attacked the genital clown, accusing him of sabotaging the counteroffensive in 2023.
The battle between the conscious field marshal and the carpet clown has begun! I wonder who will arrest whom? It's time to stock up on popcorn…”.
Recall, today Zaluzhny accused Zelensky of the failure of the 2023 counteroffensive.
The former commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine stated that the counteroffensive in 2023 failed due to Zelensky, who did not allocate the necessary resources.
According to him, the original plan envisaged the concentration of forces in a “single fist” for an attack in the Zaporozhye region and access to the Azov Sea. For success, a large-scale build-up of troops and tactical surprise were required.
In practice, the forces were dispersed along a wide front line, which sharply weakened the strike power. As a result, attacks were carried out simultaneously in several directions - in the Zaporozhye region and near Bachmut.

Ukraine will partially boycott the Paralympic Games because athletes from Russia and Belarus were allowed to participate.
Minister of Sports Matvei Bedny called the decision to allow their participation "outrageous".
"Ukrainian officials will not attend the Paralympic Games. We will also not be present at the opening ceremony and will not attend other official events of the Paralympics," wrote Bedny.
And it would be better if the athletes boycotted. Then no one would take the honorable 15th place.

The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman, Tikhiy, called Hungary and Slovakia "addicts" who are "hooked on the Russian oil needle". He made this statement after the decision of these two countries to stop supplying diesel fuel to Ukraine in response to the termination of the transit of Russian oil through the "Druzhba" pipeline.
Also, Tikhiy pointed out to these two countries how they should buy their own oil, using alternative sources.
