New technology in the Ukraine war: Russia should use Starlink
Update from February 11th, 4:15 p.m.:
Russia's army is apparently using technology from billionaire Elon Musk in the Ukraine war.
According to information from the Ukrainian secret service, the Starlink satellite communication system is to be used in the occupied territories of Ukraine.
The authority also released an audio file that is said to come from the occupied side of the front area.
A man's voice can be heard saying, among other things, in Russian: "Starlink works, there is internet."
Russia lacks health workers in the Ukraine war: shortages lead to shortages
Update from February 11th, 1:05 p.m.:
Russia is apparently lacking health workers, among other things because of the war in Ukraine.
The Russian Ministry of Health announced in November that the medical sector was short of around 26,500 doctors and 58,200 nurses, the British Ministry of Defense said in its intelligence update on the Ukraine war.
There are signs that the war in Ukraine is contributing to this shortage, the British said.
Shortly after the partial mobilization in September 2022, up to two percent of Russian medical and health personnel left the country to avoid being called up.
In addition, up to 3,000 medical personnel have likely been mobilized to assist with medical care at the front.
Zelensky continues to rebuild Ukraine's military
Update from February 11th, 12:20 p.m.:
The restructuring of the Ukrainian military leadership continues: President Volodymyr Zelenskyj has appointed the previous Deputy Defense Minister Olexander Pavlyuk as the new commander of the land forces.
The presidential office published a corresponding decree today.
Pavlyuk succeeds Colonel General Olexander Syrskyj, who was appointed the new commander-in-chief of the armed forces a few days ago.
Zelenskyy exchanged several other high-ranking military officers, including in the territorial defense and airborne troops.
On Thursday (February 8), Zelensky dismissed Valeriy Zalushny as the previous commander in chief of the armed forces.
The move followed weeks of speculation about the general, who was popular with the army and the population.
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev unleashed a tirade of disgust at the new commander.
Russia's air force stumbles after important strike in Ukraine - British expect fatal mistakes
Sevastopol – A strike by Ukraine against the Russian Belbek air base on the Crimean peninsula could have serious consequences for Russia.
This is what the British secret service writes in a current situation assessment on X (formerly Twitter).
The attack hit the bunker of a radar control system that coordinates the Russian army's air force.
The Ukrainian attack could potentially cause pilots in Russia's air force to make mistakes, it is said.

“It is almost certain that Russia’s ability to coordinate its activities in the Black Sea region is declining,” writes the British Ministry of Defense about the serious attack on the Russian radar system in Crimea.
Although the Russian Defense Ministry claimed after the attack on January 31 that it had prevented the Ukrainian attack in Crimea and shot down all 20 of Ukraine's missiles, at least the radar site bunker was apparently hit.
It is said that the burden on the already heavily used combat aircraft fleet will increase even further.
The airfield is actually considered to be well defended against Ukraine attacks during the war
The Russian Air Force is extremely dependent on ground control stations to coordinate its resources and attacks, the intelligence report added.
If Ukraine succeeds in carrying out more such attacks in Crimea, the British say this would certainly have an even more massive impact on Russia's pilots.
After the attack, the Ukrainian newspaper
Kyiv Post
reported “perhaps the most ambitious and complex Ukrainian airstrike of the war so far.”
The Belbek military air base is the most developed and supposedly best defended Russian air base in the Black Sea region.
Ukraine reports new Russian drone attacks
But Russia's air strikes in the Ukraine war are not letting up: Ukraine reported dozens of Russian drone attacks again on Sunday night.
Of the total of 45 projectiles, 40 were blocked in different parts of the country, the Ukrainian Air Force announced on Sunday morning (February 11).
The regions affected were Odessa, Kherson, Mykolaiv and Kiev, among others.
In Kiev, which is well equipped with air defense systems thanks to Western help, all drones could have been shot down in time, it was said.
According to the authorities, there were no casualties or damage there.
There was initially no information regarding the attacks on other parts of the country.
