report  on behalf of IKI GRB FuN:

We observed the field of GRB 210217A (Simpson  et al., GCN  29521) with 
AZT-33IK telescope of Sayan observatory (Mondy)  on 2021-02-19 and XX. 
Within enhanced XRT position (Evans et al., GCN 29525) we do not detect 
afterglow (Simpson  et al., GCNs  29521,29555;  Zhu  et al., GCN  29523; 
Zheng et al., GCN 29533; Shrestha et al., GCN  29535; Kumar et al., GCN 
29539). Preliminary photometry of the filed is following

2021-02-19+2021-02-21 2.65193    R      5850   n/d   n/d   22.9

The photometry is based on the nearby USNO-B1.0 star
USNO-B1.0_id R2
1587-088041      17.94

A light curve of afterglow of GRB 210217A (based on published 
photometry) and upper limits can be found in
http://grb.rssi.ru/GRB210217A/GRB210217A_LC.jpg

Using  upper   upper limit we may suggest a possible jet break of the 
light curve we may suggest a jet break between 1.58 and 3.71 days after 
power law decay with index alpha of -0.48 (Shrestha et al., GCN 29535).
