Despite dozen of destroyed fighter jets in February, Russian troops continue attacks with heavy guided air bombs.

The Russian military’s guided-missile bombing activity has decreased, according to Air Force spokesman Yurii Ihnat, but daily bombing continues across the frontline.

The enemy is becoming more cautious, but combat planes continue to carry out strikes, dropping guided aerial bombs from different directions.

The spokesman also noted that the A-50 long-range radar detection aircraft had not been seen in the air for seven days.

According to Ihnat, Russia is going to modernize the aircraft in storage, as they are needed for planning strikes and conducting reconnaissance.

In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine.

In 2025, the deadliest year yet for civilians, Ukraine’s three largest charitable foundations raised a record 105.9 billion hryvnias. It is more than the years 2022–2024 combined. According to the UN, humanitarian aid in Ukraine was delivered by more than 450 organisations, reaching five million people over the course of the year. Civic foundations hold licences to purchase lethal weapons, which is a function states have monopolised for centuries. These record sums were underwritten by international government grants, which means foreign states now channel billions directly through Ukrainian civic funds, bypassing inter-state channels. It is hard to imagine a stronger institutional trust in civil society.
