In the YouTube video titled "16.02 Авдеевка сражается. Выделение помощи США откладывается до марта" ("16.02 Avdeevka Fights Back. The Aid from the USA is Delayed Until March"), the speaker provides a military update on the situation in Ukraine over the past 24 hours. The night was relatively quiet, but tensions escalated during the day, with 95 military engagements reported. Russian forces launched numerous missile, air, and artillery attacks against Ukrainian troops and civilian populations in several regions, including Avdeevka. Despite these attacks, some areas remained stable, such as the operational-strategic group areas of Sever, Slovianske, and the north. However, the Russians have continued to build defensive structures along the border and have been trying to advance near Bahmutske, among other areas. In Avdeevka, the Russians have intensified their attempts to capture the city and encircle Ukrainian troops, with numerous attacks reported. Multiple positions have fallen under enemy control, and the fighting intensity on the Mariinsky and New Pavlovsky directions is comparable to that in Avdeevka. Ukraine is currently receiving military aid from various countries, including Germany's massive €1.1 billion package and aid from the US and Europe. Despite the aid, Ukrainian forces lack the necessary artillery and ammunition to effectively engage the enemy, relying instead on small-scale operations against enemy logistics. However, the military personnel are shown to be performing well under difficult circumstances. Other topics briefly touched upon include the lack of naval activity in the Black Sea and ongoing debates about the effectiveness of US military aid. The speaker questions why military leadership did not consider halting aid from Europe or the US amid domestic pressures to save troops and avoid losses. The video also discusses ongoing conflict in the region and the implementation of sanctions against specific individuals and companies in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. Thousands of Asian and African mercenaries are reportedly fighting on the side of the occupiers in Ukraine, with Russia using them as frontline forces. The situation is dynamic and constantly changing. The speaker expresses hope for an agreement with the US for additional military aid and notes Russia's loss of over 1,200 occupants in one day, urging viewers to stay informed and remember that information from Russia may be fabricated.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "16.02 Авдеевка сражається. Виделення допомоги США відкладається до березня" ("16.02 Avdeevka Fights Back. The Aid from the USA is Delayed Until March"), the speaker provides an operational update on the situation in Ukraine over the past 24 hours. While the night was relatively quiet, the day has been marked by escalating military tensions. There have been numerous clashes along the entire front line, resulting in 95 military engagements. The Russian forces launched 34 missile, 85 air, and 114 artillery attacks against Ukrainian troops and civilian populations in several regions, including Harykavskya, Luhanska, Donetska, Zaporizhska, Dnipropetrovska, Khersonska, and Mykolayivska oblasts. Despite these attacks, the situation in some areas remains stable and under control, including the operational-strategic group areas of Sever, Slovianske, and the north. However, the Russian forces have continued to build defensive structures along the border and have launched six attacks on Ukrainian positions near Bahmutske, all of which were unsuccessful. In the Avdeevka area, the Russians have intensified their attempts to capture the city and encircle Ukrainian troops, with 28 attacks on Ukrainian positions in the area reported during the past day.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "16.02 Авдеевка сражается. Выделение помощи США откладывается до марта," the speaker describes ongoing battles in the regions of Pervoмайского and Nevelskoy in the Ukrainian town of Avdeevka. The Ukrainian forces were unable to repel all attacks, and the enemy advanced into their territory. The decision was made to reinforce troops and establish a new defense line. The Zenit K position, as well as a filtration station and a pumping station in Avdeevka, fell under enemy control. The enemy employs constant air and artillery strikes using both aviation and multiple launch rocket systems. The enemy also uses incendiary munitions, causing fires and creating a toxic smog. The speaker suggests that the defense of this placard may require the withdrawal of troops, and mentions that fighting intensity on the Mariinsky and New Pavlovsky directions is comparable to that in Avdeevka, with 34 attacks by the enemy on the Mariinsky direction in the past day, but with fewer enemy forces. The front line has not changed on the New Pavlovsky direction, but in the areas of newcomers, Georgievka, and Victory, the enemy is actively engaging in battle. No significant enemy advancements have been reported on the Zaporozhsky direction.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "16.02 Авдеевка сражается. Выделение помощи США откладывается до марта," there are ongoing positions battles in the Avdeevka area where all available Ukrainian forces have been deployed. Surprisingly, a new enemy grouping has appeared on the Zaporizhzhia front, which raises questions about its origin and intentions. The enemy grouping, consisting of more troops than in Avdeevka, may target the Orehov direction or try to reinforce the Avdeevka grouping to intensify their offensive deeper into Ukrainian lines. Over the past few days, the enemy has made three unsuccessful assaults on Ukrainian positions, resulting in significant losses. The Ukrainian Air Force and anti-aircraft units have also attacked enemy logistics and command centers, destroying an enemy missile system and killing over 1200 enemy troops. Additionally, the Ukrainian Navy reports that three out of five large enemy amphibious ships have been taken out of action, either by being damaged or sunk using various methods. Despite these losses, the enemy continues to attempt to dislodge Ukrainian forces from their positions.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "16.02 Авдеевка сражается. Выделение помощи США откладывается до мартой.", the speaker discusses the current military political situation in Ukraine and surrounding countries, starting with the disappointing news that the US House of Representatives, led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, has gone on recess without voting on a bill for military-technical funding for Ukraine. Critics have condemned this decision, but due to the chamber's regulations, there is little that can be done. The US and Europe are providing military aid to Ukraine instead, with Germany taking a leading role. NATO is creating a training and exchange center for Ukrainian military in Poland. In return for this military-technical assistance, Ukraine has agreed to ratify the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, a process that may face resistance from Ukrainian authorities due to their reluctance to have foreign investigative agencies on their territory. Other elements of the aid package include drone weaponry, fighting grenades, and medical equipment. A 10-year military-technical cooperation agreement has also been signed between the nations during a visit by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to Germany.

The Uzbekistan parliament has prohibited their banks from conducting any financial transactions with those on the international sanctions list to avoid secondary sanctions. Similarly, Kazakhstan has imposed the same restriction on its banks. The speaker also mentions intelligence reports of tens of thousands of Asian and African mercenaries fighting on the side of the occupiers in Ukraine, with Russia using them as frontline forces to enhance the success of their attacks on Ukrainian defensive positions. The situation is dynamic and constantly changing. The speaker promises to provide a summary of the day's events tomorrow and continue their conversation in response to viewer questions.

In this section, Ukrainian military analyst "Авдеевка" discusses the ongoing struggle in Avdeevka and the delayed US military aid. Despite expecting the first F-16s in the Ukrainian sky by March, there is currently no ground force to support them. Austerity measures have forced the Ukrainian military to rely on outdated stocks and they lack the necessary artillery and ammunition to effectively engage the enemy. The absence of Ukrainian aviation also makes it difficult to defend against Russian air attacks and protect ground forces. The speaker expresses hope for an agreement with the US for additional military aid, which could potentially lead to a counteroffensive and the liberation of occupied territories. However, he fears that Russia may try to take advantage of these supply shortages and expand its territorial gains. The speaker ends by emphasizing the need for immediate aid to defend against active Russian attacks.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "16.02 Авдеевка сражается.

Despite being able to conduct small-scale operations against the enemy's logistics, the speaker expresses concern that Russian forces have been able to quickly recover from losses. The speaker questions the intelligence gathering and why the military leadership did not consider halting aid from Europe or the US, which they have become reliant on, amid domestic pressures to save troops and avoid losses. The military personnel are shown to be performing well under difficult circumstances, but the lack of supplies, artillery, and ammunition has left them relying on external aid. Ultimately, the speaker acknowledges that the military leadership is handling the situation with honor and dignity despite the challenging conditions. Other topics briefly touched upon include the shifting political landscape in the region and the growing Romanian military presence on the Black Sea.
