Putin’s remarks show that while he wants fighting to stop, talks must address deeper issues. This highlights Russia’s focus on its strategic goals in the region.

Meanwhile, U.S. officials met Saudi and Russian leaders in Riyadh about regional stability and security. Key figures included Secretary of State Marco Rubio and national security advisor Mike Waltz.
Though Putin didn’t reject Ukraine’s ceasefire deal outright, he noted challenges like Ukrainian troops in Russia’s Kursk region. He argued that a ceasefire would mainly help Ukraine by giving it time to regroup and rearm its forces.
In these conditions,“ Putin said, ”it would be good for the Ukrainian side to secure a ceasefire for at least 30 days.

The U.S., however, is pushing for Russia’s acceptance as part of broader peace efforts involving trade tensions with Canada too.

BRITAIN and EUROPE Rally Defense: A Bold Response to Ukraine WAR
— Britain and Europe are ramping up their defense in response to the Ukraine War. Secretary of State for Defence John Healey confirmed this commitment to U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. Healey praised Trump’s NATO policy, emphasizing Europe’s need for self-reliance in defense matters.
NATO’s requirement of spending two percent of GDP on defense has been a standard for years, but many European countries have fallen short. With current threats, discussions are underway to raise this minimum to three or even five percent, similar to Cold War levels. UK Health Minister Stephen Kinnock backed these efforts, saying Europe must be ready to defend its territory.
Kinnock acknowledged America’s push for NATO members to boost their defense capabilities and called it “absolutely right.” He highlighted the need for military readiness and meeting challenges directly. However, he criticized past Conservative governments while overlooking Labour’s own failures during their rule from 1997 to 2010.
During Labour’s last time in power, national defense spending dropped despite Tony Blair’s involvement in Iraq. The British military faced severe equipment shortages due to poor funding then. An inquiry later exposed critical gaps like a lack of helicopters and armored vehicles that compromised troop safety during overseas missions.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen stressed the need for more defense spending across Europe, a big shift from past budget priorities where military funding was low. Macron promised that EU countries would increase military budgets and work together on advanced weapon production in Europe.
US SHOCKS WORLD by Siding with Russia at UN Vote
— The United States surprised many by voting against a UN resolution condemning Russia’s actions in Ukraine. This vote coincided with the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion. While 93 nations supported the resolution, 65 abstained. The decision highlights a growing coalition of autocratic countries at the United Nations.

Amidst these tensions, Zelenskyy attended a summit in London, where he met U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer and other allies to discuss strategic plans for Ukraine’s future. He sought more commitments from Western allies during these talks.

Experts warn this public clash could shape future U.S. policy toward Ukraine, especially if Trump returns to power.

Europe wants to present a united strategy that prioritizes regional stability and security over outside influences from across the Atlantic. This move shows Europe’s intent to assert its influence and leadership in resolving the conflict effectively and independently.
“TRUMP’S Bold Peace Plan with Russia and Ukraine Stirs EU Fears”
— European leaders are worried about President Trump’s efforts to broker peace between Ukraine and Russia. The EU’s top diplomat claims Russian President Putin is not interested in peace. Trump mentioned having “very good talks with Russia” but did not share details on any progress made.
NATO allies and long-time U.S. partners are frustrated by Trump’s remarks on Ukraine, seeing them as an attempt to improve ties with Moscow. EU High Representative Kaja Kallas stressed the need for dialogue but noted Russia’s reluctance for peace.
Trump held his first Cabinet meeting, stating NATO membership was not an option for Ukraine, which could change the conflict’s dynamics. Kallas urged more economic and political pressure on Russia to strengthen Ukraine both militarily and diplomatically.
As Trump and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy work towards a minerals deal, there is hope it might lead to ceasefire talks, though doubts linger about its effect on achieving lasting peace.

TRUMP’S Bold Move: US and Russia Talk in Saudi Arabia
— Top U.S. and Russian officials met in Saudi Arabia for nearly four hours, marking the most extensive engagement since the Ukraine conflict began.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov led the discussions, which they described as a positive first step.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer acknowledged the need for security guarantees for Ukraine if peace is achieved. European nations have discussed potential troop deployment for about a year, with urgency rising amid concerns over U.S. President Donald Trump’s possible negotiations with Putin.
In December, before Trump took office, European leaders met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Brussels to discuss the plan further. The meeting included representatives from Britain, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, and top EU officials.
French President Emmanuel Macron initially promoted this idea in early 2024 but faced criticism from Germany and Poland when he did not rule out deploying troops on Ukrainian soil. The role of the United States in this plan remains uncertain as discussions continue among European leaders.
TRUMP’S Bold Move: Push for Ukraine Peace Talks After Putin Call
— Former President Donald Trump plans to start talks to end the Ukraine war. This follows a recent call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump emphasized the need for dialogue and cooperation, suggesting talks could begin “immediately.”
This announcement comes as tensions rise in Eastern Europe, involving NATO and European military actions. Trump’s diplomatic approach contrasts with the current administration’s stance on the conflict, possibly signaling a new way to handle international disputes.
Successful negotiations could ease hostilities and create a peace plan, impacting U.S., Russia, and Ukraine relations. Trump’s experience may be key in brokering peace for humanitarian and geopolitical reasons.
The U.S. government has not yet responded to Trump’s proposal, leaving questions about future foreign policy under the Biden administration. The situation remains fluid as developments unfold in this breaking news story.
UKRAINE’S Nuclear Sites In Danger: Russian Threats Ignite Fear
— Ukraine relies heavily on nuclear power due to ongoing Russian strikes on its power grid. Over half of the country’s electricity now comes from nuclear energy. However, the unprotected nuclear switchyards, essential for transmitting this power, are at risk of attacks.
Despite warnings over a year ago, Ukraine’s Energy Ministry delayed action to secure these sites. Only recently did they start building defenses after Ukrainian intelligence pointed out potential Russian threats. Analysts say this response might be too late if an attack happens.
Oleksandr Kharchenko, a Ukrainian energy expert, warns that hitting two switchyards could cut supply for 30-36 hours and limit energy for weeks during winter. This delay in protection poses serious risks to civilian life and infrastructure resilience.
The U.N. nuclear agency has repeatedly warned about disaster potential if these switchyards are disrupted since they also help cool reactors and spent fuel at plants. Backup systems exist but are only temporary solutions during long outages, according to experts like Marcy R. Fowler from Open Nuclear Network.
CNN and MSNBC Ratings Collapse While FOX News Surges
— CNN and MSNBC faced steep declines in viewership last month, despite major news events like the Los Angeles fires and a presidential inauguration. According to AdWeek, CNN’s primetime numbers fell by 14% in total viewers and 5% in the key demographic compared to January of the previous year. MSNBC experienced even steeper drops, with a 33% decline in total viewers during primetime and a 41% decrease in the demo.
In contrast, Fox News experienced significant growth during this period. The network’s primetime viewership increased by 40%, with an impressive 61% rise in the key demographic. Fox News also reported gains throughout the day, with total viewer numbers up by 53% and demo numbers soaring by 70%.
These ratings shifts highlight changing viewer preferences amid ongoing political developments. Conservative audiences continue to favor Fox News as their primary source for news coverage. Meanwhile, CNN and MSNBC struggle to maintain their audience base amidst these competitive challenges.
ZELENSKYY’S Urgent Plea: Keep Ukraine in US-Russia Talks
— Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is worried about being left out of U.S.-Russia talks on the Ukraine war. He warns that excluding Ukraine could be “very dangerous.” Zelenskyy wants more direct discussions between Kyiv and Washington to plan a ceasefire.
In an interview, Zelenskyy stated that Russia avoids ceasefire talks because it sees concessions as losses while its troops have the upper hand. He suggested former President Donald Trump could pressure Russia with sanctions on energy and banking sectors. Ongoing military support for Ukraine is also crucial, he noted.
Zelenskyy’s remarks came after Trump claimed American and Russian officials are “already talking” about ending the conflict. Trump called these discussions “very serious,” though he shared few details.
Zelenskyy acknowledged ongoing contact with Trump’s team but said these talks are still at a “general level.” He expects face-to-face meetings soon to work out specific agreements to resolve the conflict.
TRAGIC Azerbaijan Airlines CRASH: Russia’s Alleged Role Exposed
— An Azerbaijan Airlines flight tragically crashed near Aktau, Kazakhstan, resulting in over 30 deaths. The Embraer 190 jet was traveling from Azerbaijan to Russia with 62 passengers and five crew members on board. Kazakh authorities confirmed 38 fatalities and reported that 29 survivors were injured as of Wednesday afternoon.
The crash happened after the plane veered hundreds of miles off its planned route, crossing the Caspian Sea. Officials have not clarified why this deviation occurred, but it followed drone strikes in southern Russia that led to nearby airports closing temporarily. This disruption has affected flights in the region before.
Aviation-security firm Osprey Flight Solutions suggested that Russian military air-defense systems likely shot down the aircraft. Matt Borie from Osprey pointed to video evidence and regional security conditions supporting this theory. Ukrainian official Andriy Kovalenko also blamed a “Russian air-defense system” for the crash.
RUSSIAN GENERAL’S Shocking Death: Bombing in Moscow Sparks Global Outcry
— A senior Russian general, Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov, died in a scooter bombing outside his Moscow apartment on Tuesday. The attack also took the life of his assistant as they left for work. Ukrainian officials claimed responsibility, linking it to criminal charges filed against him just a day before.
Kirillov, 54, led Russia’s Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Defense Forces and faced international sanctions for his role in the Ukraine conflict. Ukraine’s Security Service accused him of using banned chemical weapons and called him a “war criminal.” An anonymous official confirmed their involvement in the attack, labeling Kirillov an "entirely legitimate target.
The SBU has documented over 4,800 instances of Russia allegedly using chemical weapons since its invasion began in February 2022. In May, the U.S. State Department reported that Russia used chloropicrin gas against Ukrainian forces. Despite these allegations, Russia denies employing chemical weapons and accuses Ukraine of deploying toxic agents instead.
ASSAD’S Fall Rocks Syria: Russia’s Strategic Nightmare
— The fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria marks a major shift after 14 years of civil war. Assad, backed by Russia and Iran, has been ousted, leaving these powers to handle the fallout. This change challenges Russia’s strategic interests in the Middle East.
Russia aimed to maintain its influence in the region through military bases like Khmeimim and Tartus. With Assad out, these assets are now at risk. Rebekah Koffler calls this a strategic defeat for Russia amid its ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
Ksenia Svetlova from the Atlantic Council criticized Russia’s failure to keep its promises in Syria. She noted that Moscow’s abandonment of Assad makes it look like an unreliable ally, unlike U.S. support for Israel during crises. This perception weakens Russia’s position among Middle Eastern allies.
Former President Trump commented on the situation saying, “Assad is gone,” highlighting the rebels’ success against the longtime dictator. The event underscores shifting power dynamics and raises questions about future regional stability and alliances.

UK and France UNITE to DEFEND Ukraine: A Bold Stand Against Russian Aggression
— The UK and France are sending their top defense chiefs to Ukraine. This marks a big step in supporting the country against Russian tensions. It shows Europe’s strong commitment to Ukraine’s defense. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer highlighted Europe’s massive mobilization efforts aimed at sustaining any future peace deal.
French President Emmanuel Macron mentioned that while no large troop deployment is planned, a strategic defensive posture is key. The French-British plan aims to respond effectively if tensions rise, ensuring Ukraine’s security from external threats. This move is part of a broader European effort to protect Ukraine from hostile advances.
The European Commission President announced Europe’s readiness to increase its defense commitments after the US paused military aid to Ukraine. This pause has put pressure on Europe to fill the gap and support Ukraine’s sovereignty against Russian aggression. These efforts could set an example for collective security initiatives in the region.
The deployment of UK and French defense chiefs aligns with talks on partial ceasefire plans and potential peacekeeping forces in Ukraine. These discussions highlight Europe’s determination to stabilize the region together while respecting Ukraine’s territorial integrity during ongoing conflict.
