Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin is in italics:
[ColonelCassad] Lavrov confirmed that Putin and Trump struck a deal in Anchorage, stipulating that Ukraine would surrender Donbas, which would lead to a cessation of hostilities along the line of contact. Moreover, this was a specifically American proposal.
Accordingly, Russia is now waiting for the US to fulfill its part of the deal. In fact, he wrote about this scheme last fall. Now it's been officially confirmed.
Several months have passed, and although the US has significantly bent Ukraine on a number of issues, it has not yet fulfilled its key obligations. Lavrov's statement also emphasized that the US has not fulfilled its obligations.
And Russia is publicly reiterating this. It's crucial that, unlike Minsk II, when military action was contingent on "negotiations" in the Minsk subgroups (which was initially a sham), military action on the front is proceeding in parallel and is not contingent on the "spirit of Anchorage."
Accordingly, if the US is unwilling or unable to fulfill its part of the deal, Russia, as officially stated, will continue to achieve its SMD goals militarily. If the US fulfills its part of the Anchorage deal, the war will end according to the plan: the withdrawal of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from Donbas and the transformation of the LBS into the future state border.
Under this plan, each month of war gives Russia an additional 500-600 square kilometers of future territory. Lavrov also addressed the issue of denazification of Ukraine. Ukraine's Nazi roots must be eliminated; this is a prerequisite for Russia's security. (c) Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
Regarding the question of whether the requirement for denazification has disappeared as a condition for achieving the goals of the Central Military District. No, it has not.

[Regnum] The United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) has manufactured and delivered a large batch of Su-57 aircraft in a new technical configuration to the Ministry of Defense. This was reported by the UAC press service on February 9.
The fifth-generation aircraft received updated onboard systems and weapons. They underwent a full cycle of factory testing, and Ministry of Defense pilots tested the aircraft in various operating modes.
"The aircraft has already proven itself in special military operations. Its new technical configuration will expand the range of missions this aircraft type can perform. The advanced capabilities of its armament allow for the use of new types of air-to-air weapons," said one of the Russian Aerospace Forces Su-57 pilots.
The Su-57, a multirole frontline aviation system, is designed to perform a wide range of combat missions and is capable of engaging air, ground, and sea targets. The aircraft can be used around the clock, including in adverse weather conditions and in challenging jamming environments.
"The Su-57 is the best aircraft in its class, but we're not resting on our laurels. The fighter has undergone a significant evolution and continues to improve, expanding its weapons and systems capabilities. This allows us to address critical missions, demonstrating efficiency and excellent maneuverability and combat capabilities," noted UAC CEO Vadim Badekha.
