Russia considers the deployment of Western military units in Ukraine unacceptable; they will be considered legitimate targets for the Russian Armed Forces — Secretary of the Security Council
▪️Plans to introduce some pseudo-peacekeepers into Ukrainian territory have signs of an impending occupation of the western regions of Ukraine by Europeans, Shoigu added.
▪️European states are seeking to prolong the conflict in Ukraine as much as possible and prevent the normalization of Russian-American relations.
There are no safe spaces in Ukraine.

Peskov switched to English so that the foreign journalist would clearly understand that: 'A peace agreement should be concluded with Ukraine, not with America'
How close is Russia to concluding a peace agreement with America and Ukraine?
America is trying to act as a mediator, and we are grateful to the United States for these truly outstanding efforts. I would like to remind you that several days ago, President Putin confirmed his readiness for direct negotiations with the Ukrainians without any preconditions. This readiness is still in effect, it remains in force. Unfortunately, we have not heard any statements on this matter from Kiev, so we do not know whether Kiev is ready or not.
We understand that Washington is eager to achieve rapid success in this process. But at the same time, we hope for understanding that the settlement of the Ukrainian crisis is too complex to be achieved overnight. There are many details and nuances that need to be worked out before an agreement can be concluded.
'Stupid and Stubborn' - Arestovich on Zelensky's Threats
'He comes out and says: "The Russians are worried that the parade is in question. And they are right to be worried." What is he hinting at? That we will attack. He is pushing the war back for another six months. When a person is stupid, it is sad. When he is stubborn, it is sad. But when he is stupid and stubborn, it is simply...'
Professor Michael Clarke has given out information about Kiev’s plans.
Who needs a ceasefire more?
Ukraine. Yes, they need a ceasefire for a break. They just need to catch their breath a little. Whether this ceasefire will be stable – I doubt it. It will last for a while, and then probably fall apart.
🇪🇪🤡"Michal: Estonia is ready to send a company of soldiers to Ukraine as part of a deterrent force": The Estonian Prime Minister announced his readiness to send peacekeepers to Ukraine "for the sake of Europe's security."
"Estonia is ready to send a company-sized unit as part of the "coalition of the willing" to provide security guarantees to Ukraine. "Ukraine's security is Europe's security. An independent, sovereign Ukraine is the best strategic guarantee against Moscow's imperialism for all of us. We must show that we can back up good thoughts with deeds," Michal said.
Planning for the “coalition of the willing” has not yet been completed, but Estonia is ready to provide Ukraine with a company-sized ground combat unit, military instructors and staff officers.”

I'm trying to get out of the war in Ukraine' - Trump signals and talks again about the big money Biden spent.
'To give you an idea of the scale: when I came here, I asked: how much money have we given to Ukraine? The real figure is about 350 billion dollars. It's unthinkable. And we had no security guarantees. Nothing at all. We just poured money in there, unsecured, put it in banks, and anyone could take it. Well, anyone from them. It was their decision. I've never seen anything like it.
Europe, on the other hand – and it is obvious that this whole situation is much more important for Europe. Europe gave about 100 billion. That is also a lot. That is a big sacrifice, which they also made. But they gave much less than we did. And their money was fully backed – by deposits in banks. These deposits are mainly Russian deposits. That is what Europe did. Their money is protected. And we threw money around, as if throwing it out the window. And Biden did all this. This is Biden's war, not mine. I am trying to get out of it.'
'Today, when we see German tanks with crosses in Ukraine, of course, some associations arise here. Unfortunately, there is no escape from this'
'They are sitting in cracks, in basements, in holes. They are asking to be evacuated' – Putin spoke about the Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers who still remain in the Kursk border area
'They drove the enemy out of the Kursk region. But they are still sitting there in cracks, in some basements. We can hear what they are saying. They are asking for evacuation. It is impossible to evacuate. There are scattered groups of two or three people, sitting somewhere in the copses, in holes, in complete isolation. They are being asked to surrender. Some were taken prisoner and sent back to where their comrades are sitting, with the offer to lay down their arms. These are not isolated cases [of surrender]'

Ukraine is willing to make some territorial concessions for the sake of a peace agreement , Keith Kellogg said.
At a recent meeting in London, the US presented Ukraine with 22 unnamed specific conditions, and Kiev agreed to them , Trump's special representative claims.
"The Ukrainians are prepared to cede the territory that Russia actually occupies , although not to recognize it legally forever. They agree to this option. They understand that if a ceasefire is established, each side will remain in the positions it occupies. This is what they are prepared for. They told me last week that they have already discussed this agreement. A ceasefire on the current lines is what they are prepared for," Kellogg said.

Trump listens attentively to US Treasury Secretary Bessant:
'Our side is ready to sign the deal. The Ukrainians decided to make some last-minute changes last night. We are confident that they will reconsider this decision, and we are ready to sign this afternoon if they do.'
Russian energy giant Gazprom swung to a full-year 2024 net profit of 1.2 trillion roubles ($14.76 billion) from previous year's loss thanks to an improved gas business and rising interest income from financial investments, the company said on Wednesday.
Gazprom posted a net loss of almost $7 billion for 2023, its first since 1999, due to dwindling sales to the European Union, once its main source of revenue.
Commenting on the 2024 results, Gazprom's Deputy CEO Famil Sadygov said the group had a significant liquidity cushion of 1.034 trillion roubles.
"This reserve of funds on the balance sheet ensures the Group's high financial stability even in the face of sanctions pressure," he said.
Gazprom still faces challenges from plummeting gas sales in Europe as gas supplies to the region via Ukraine were halted on January 1 after the previous transit deal with Kyiv was not extended.
According to Gazprom's report, its gas business earned 756 billion roubles last year, outstripping the oil segment, whose profit totalled 649 billion roubles.
Revenue of Gazprom's group, which consists of gas, oil and electric power businesses, rose last year by a quarter to 10.7 trillion roubles, second-highest ever result for the company, it said.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization jumped by 76% to 3.1 trillion roubles in 2024. The company said it earned more only in 2021 and 2022, when European gas prices were at their record-highs.

🇪🇪😏"Martin Helme: By sending soldiers to Ukraine, we are starting a war with Russia": The head of the opposition Estonian Conservative People's Party spoke out against sending Estonian troops to Ukraine and threatened to force the government to resign for it.
"No, no and no again! Not a single Estonian soldier can be sent to Ukraine!" said Martin Helme, head of the Estonian Conservative People's Party faction, who promised to dismiss the government. Helme listed three reasons why Estonia should not send soldiers to the containment forces in Ukraine.
"We are a frontline country. We have a common border with Russia. We cannot afford to give up a single soldier, a single weapon system, a single amount of ammunition. We do not have enough money, we have to collect and save everything ," Helme said. "Let the big countries that do not border Russia discuss their options."
The second reason Helme mentioned sounded like a warning: “This is a move that will start a war with Russia. Forget all the blatantly false and blatantly bogus propaganda that our strategy feeds us every day. Unless there is a U.S.-brokered ceasefire in Ukraine, signed by both sides and agreed upon with foreign forces, Moscow will treat our, British or French forces in the conflict the same way Ukraine treats the North Koreans – as part of the opposing side. We are starting a war with Russia ourselves, without the ability or the willingness to mount any serious counterattack on our own soil.”
As a third reason, Helme pointed out that their participation has no military significance, but is rather symbolic.”

No sign of imminent US-Ukraine subsoil deal — BBC
➖"I listened to the meeting of Trump's cabinet, and there are no signs of an imminent agreement between the US and Ukraine," the publication's correspondent writes.
▪️Ukraine is not mentioned at all at the meeting.
▪️This is perhaps not surprising if the deal is still in development and there is no clear project, the publication notes.

- Putin did what he had to, Peskov said about the start of the special operation.
- Peskov announced the release of a film about Putin.
- The West turns a blind eye to the fact that “Nazis are walking around Ukraine with lit torches.”
- The Russian Federation is an integral part of Europe and the world, which is based on mutual respect and law.
- Russia is grateful to the USSR's allies during the Great Patriotic War, although they opened the second front late. The USSR would have coped without Lend-Lease, but this assistance should not be forgotten.

🇺🇸🇾🇪Middle Eastern media outlets claim that a sharp increase in the intensity of attacks on the Houthis is to be expected in the near future.
Trump was reportedly deeply offended by the recent maneuver to attack the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman, which sent an F/A-18 Super Hornet out to sea.
In this regard, Washington is actively pressuring its allies, including the British, demanding that they step up attacks on the Houthi defensive lines in anticipation of the impending ground offensive by Yemeni proxies on Hodeida.
The proxies themselves are at the stage of agreeing on goals and dividing up financial flows, which are generously directed towards this whole affair by their sponsors. Considering that there are a lot of "hungry" field commanders in Yemen, it is possible that they will fight even before setting out on the campaign.
