Ukraine News: Trump wants to bleed Russia’s economy dry
Update from February 7th, 6:08 a.m.: US President Donald Trump wants to bleed Russia’s economy dry. To do this, he recently indirectly increased the pressure. Now the American is canceling the punitive tariffs against India, with which he wanted to indirectly weaken Russia’s billion-dollar oil trade. Trump justified the move away from the punitive tariffs by saying that the world’s most populous country had taken steps to stop importing Russian oil. Trump had introduced the instrument of punitive tariffs against Russian trading partners in order to reduce the proceeds from the oil business with which Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin finances his war against Ukraine.
A few days ago, Modi expressed relief that tariffs would be reduced, but once again left it unclear whether India would actually stop purchasing oil from Russia. The Hindustan Times reports that there are no immediate signs that India will reduce its energy purchases from Russia to zero.

Syrskyj also added about the current situation at the front: “On individual sections of the front, almost a quarter of the combat operations involve attacks by Ukrainian units. Their aim is to keep the enemy on their toes, inflict losses on them and prevent further advance.” The tactics were effective: “In January the enemy was unable to achieve a single operational success.”

Starlink limitation is according to Kyiv “a catastrophe” for Russia
Update, 3:26 p.m.: According to Ukrainian information, restrictions on the use of Starlink terminals have significantly disrupted coordination between Russian troops in the Ukraine war.

The restriction is already expected to have an impact on Russian offensive operations on the front in the Ukraine war.
“I can tell you that this is not just a problem for the Russians – it is truly a disaster for them,” Beskrestnov said. “We are also receiving reports from our fronts that in many sectors assault operations have been suspended…According to Russian reports, their headquarters cannot communicate with the command or assault brigades,” the Defense Ministry adviser added.
