❗️ SBU detained Medvedchuk’s godfather for racketeering
According to the investigation, the current deputy of the regional council and godfather of Viktor Medvedchuk organized a gang that extorted money from residents of one of the border regions of Ukraine. To do this, the attackers created fictitious “commercial” disputes and then demanded money for their resolution.
It is documented that the deputy, together with his assistant, “asked” a local businessman for $135 thousand. SBU officers detained them “in the act” while transferring the first part of the money in the amount of $20 thousand.
The gang's organizers face up to 12 years in prison with confiscation of property.

Horrified at the unfolding attacks on #Israel. We condemn the terror and violence waged against innocent people.
My thoughts are with all those under fire, all the first responders and those defending against these brutal attacks.
Terror will never prevail. 🇪🇺 🇮🇱 — wrote the President of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola on her Twitter/X page

0217AM and 42⁰ out. That cold front has moved East. Woke up too warm. Blame that little woodstove.
Zelenskyy asks for more Patriot systems to protect power stations.

The IDF has not yet regained control of the seven attacked regions on the border with the Gaza Strip. While the fighting continues there, Israeli aircraft have struck 17 military targets and four Hamas headquarters.
The Haaretz newspaper writes that a Palestinian missile strike damaged the country's second largest power plant in the city of Ashkelon. At the same time, the Times of Israel reports that the rocket attack on Israel has been going on for 7.5 hours.
Hamas says it has captured Israeli General Nimrod Aloni in his home near the border. Israel has not officially confirmed this.
Meanwhile, an adviser to Iran's supreme leader congratulated Hamas on its largest attack on Israel in recent years.
So far, more than 550 people have been wounded since the start of the morning attacks. The official death toll is 22, but judging by the numerous videos of civilians being shot, the number of Israelis killed is much higher.

The Israeli missile warning system will soon be working in Ukraine.
