report  on behalf of GRB IKI FuN:

We observed the field of GRB 210212A (Troja et al., GCN 29487) with 
AZT-33IK telescope of Sayan observatory (Mondy) starting on 2021-02-12 
(UT) 14:39:29, i.e. 0.45 days after GRB trigger and reasonable FWHM of 
about 2.7". Within enhanced XRT position (Beardmore et al., GCN 29489) 
we found an object. Preliminary photometry of the object in a combined 
image is following

The photometry is based on the nearby USNO-B1.0 stars
USNO-B1.0_id R2
0972-0060540 15.06
0972-0060545 15.99

The object could be an afterglow of the GRB 210212A which is not 
separated from (possible host) galaxy (Heintz  et al., GCN 29498; 
Dichiara et al., GCN 29507).
