Ein geopolitischer Sturm braut sich zusammen, nachdem ukrainische Geheimdienste entdeckt haben, was möglicherweise eine der folgenreichsten Hintertürverhandlungen der modernen Ära ist – ein angebliches wirtschaftliches Kooperationsframework im Wert von 12 Billionen Dollar, das zwischen den Vereinigten Staaten und Russland stillschweigend erörtert wurde.
Der ukrainische Präsident Wolodymyr Selenskyj, der direkt zu Journalisten sprach, beschrieb die berichtete Vereinbarung als das „Dmitriev-Paket“ – eine Schattenvereinbarung, die, falls sie echt ist, das Machtgleichgewicht in Osteuropa grundlegend verändern und die Souveränität der Ukraine direkt bedrohen könnte.

The shadow war between Russia and Ukraine reached a boiling point on February 6, 2026. Lieutenant General Vladimir Alekseyev, the "No. 2" of Russia’s GRU military intelligence, was targeted in a brutal assassination attempt in Moscow.
Coming just one day after "constructive" peace talks in Abu Dhabi, the attack has sent shockwaves through both the political and financial markets.
The Ambush: A "Delivery Courier" Assassin
According to the FSB and local reports, the attack was a calculated ambush:
The Location: Alekseyev’s apartment building on Volokolamsk Highway, Moscow. The Disguise: The gunman reportedly posed as a food delivery courier to bypass security. The Conflict: Alekseyev was shot multiple times—twice in the stairwell and once in the chest while fending off the attacker. He remains in critical but stable condition after surgery.
The Investigation: The Dubai Extradition
On Sunday, February 8, the FSB announced the capture of the "direct perpetrator":
The Suspect: Lyubomir Korba, a 65-year-old Russian national (born in Ukraine's Ternopil region). The Capture: Korba was detained in Dubai and extradited to Moscow via a private jet. The Allegation: Russia claims Korba was recruited by Ukrainian intelligence in December 2025. Two other accomplices have been named, with one already in custody in Moscow.
The Peace Paradox 🕊️
The timing of the hit is highly suspicious. It occurred immediately following the second round of U.S.-led trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi, where:
Progress was made: Both sides agreed to a reciprocal exchange of 157 prisoners. Top Brass Attended: Alekseyev’s direct superior, GRU chief Igor Kostyukov, was at the negotiating table. The Sabotage Narrative: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called the shooting a "terrorist act" specifically designed to sabotage the peace process.
Market Reaction: Gold & Bitcoin as Safe Harbors
Geopolitical "black swan" events like this typically trigger immediate capital flight into hard assets.
Gold: Surging toward projected $5,000/oz levels as central banks ramp up reserve purchases amid Eastern European instability. Bitcoin: Despite a volatile start to 2026, BTC remains the "digital gold" for many. Investors are watching the $76,000–$80,000 range closely; a further escalation in Moscow could trigger a massive safe-haven inflow.
The Bottom Line
Is this a Ukrainian intelligence op, a Russian internal power struggle, or a "false flag" to walk away from peace?
What’s your take? Does this kill the Abu Dhabi peace deal, or will the "Safe Haven" rally continue? 👇
