[Regnum] A large number of files containing information about minors were discovered on the computer of 38-year-old Pyotr Zhilkin, who confessed to the kidnapping and murder of a nine-year-old boy in St. Petersburg. This was reported by the regional television channel "78," citing sources familiar with the investigation.
The man allegedly filmed the child pornography himself. His purpose for accumulating the footage, which reached 2 terabytes, is being investigated.
"Experts don't believe he intended to sell the video, as he was a wealthy man and had a very profitable business," the channel's sources noted.
Investigators, who hadn't even reviewed half the files, traveled to the Rostov region, where Zhilkin previously lived, to question the alleged victims captured on video. They believe the man had sexual relations with children in Rostov-on-Don.
Nine-year-old Pasha T. went missing on January 30 in the Gorelovo district of southern St. Petersburg after getting into a car near a hypermarket on Tallinn Highway. The boy had been working there cleaning car windows and headlights. His body, with his legs bound, was found on February 3 in a pond near the Lower Shingersky Waterfall in the Leningrad Region. An autopsy determined he had been drowned alive.
The suspect was detained in the Pskov region. Zhilkin told law enforcement that he offered the boy 5,000 rubles for sexual intercourse, but the boy refused and threatened to tell adults. Afterward, the man punched Pasha in the head and drove him to a body of water. During the court hearing, Zhilkin pleaded guilty to the child's murder and was remanded in custody until March 31.

[Regnum] Moderately frosty weather is expected in Moscow starting February 16, according to Marina Makarova, a leading official at the Russian Hydrometeorological Center.
"The cold snap will begin in the northwestern regions of European Russia, with a cold front moving in from the northwest. Temperatures will gradually decrease, first in the northwestern regions and then towards the southeast," the specialist told Interfax.
According to Makarova, severe frosts are not forecast for the capital in the coming days, although in some areas, with clearings, temperatures could drop to minus 20 degrees Celsius at night.
On February 9, Honored Meteorologist of Russia Roman Vilfand reported that temperatures in Moscow would be 7-9 degrees below normal in the coming days. This is because, although air masses are coming from the west, they still originate in northern regions and are inherently cold. The forecaster explained that horizontal air movement determines the temperature regime in the central European part of Russia.

Two young Russian conscripts in Ukraine approached a platoon of Ukranian fighters with their hands in the air, their weapons holstered and surrendered.
"We come to surrender. Our truck is out of fuel and broken down. The rest of our troops are miles away and none of the gas trucks or repair technicians will be available for days. We are stranded."
The Ukrainian soldiers took them into captivity and had them call their parents while they went out to inspect the truck the Russians had abandoned.
They returned and one of them told the Russians what they found.
“Your truck was out of fuel & broken down just like you said. We found leaks in your gas tank & a leaking fuel line. The timing belt was snapped, the oil was leaking from a puncture in the reservoir, the engine had stalled from said lack of oil & the radiator was cracked."
"Wait a second," interjected one of the Russian soldiers. "Did you say the radiator was cracked?"
“Yes,” replied the Ukrainian.
"Huh,” the Russian said. “I don't
remember doing that.”
