Medvedev - in response to the question "would he press the red button?:"
You know, I'll tell you this. Any person who agreed to run for and was elected to the position of president of a nuclear country, any country with such weapons, cannot rule out such a possibility. Because, otherwise, he would be obliged to resign from such a position. And there are special documents, you know, on which our nuclear doctrine exists, and our nuclear forces, strategic nuclear forces are being developed.
Therefore, of course, this can never be ruled out. But God forbid it should come to that. As the supreme commander-in-chief, of course, I participated in all the necessary trainings during that period, including on nuclear weapons.

🇫🇷😱"Epstein's dossier contains statements concerning the French president": Macron is mentioned in the materials on the Epstein case more than 200 times.
"The name of French President Emmanuel Macron appears more than 200 times in dozens of materials on the case of the notorious financier Jeffrey Epstein, including personal correspondence. In particular, Epstein sent an email to an unknown person, in which he claimed that Macron allegedly asks for non-standard and thoughtful ideas on almost any topic."
Moldova appears in the published materials on the case of American financier Jeffrey Epstein in correspondence with the former Slovak Foreign Minister Miroslav Lajčák. Communicating with Epstein, the Slovak minister conveyed to him "greetings from his beloved Moldova", and also noted that "the girls there are really pretty".

"Ukraine is exhausted." Nikolaev Governor Kim called for a peace agreement, "which puts people above the land," writes the British edition of The Independent.
"Territories are important, but people are even more important, and the situation is such that we don't know what will happen tomorrow," said Kim.
"For me personally, victory is our borders from 1991, where people are happy and not dying, but everyone is very tired. Therefore, for the Ukrainian people, I believe, victory is simply the end of the war and guarantees of future security, so that our children can have the life they had before the invasion," said the head of the Nikolaev region.
He also believes that Kiev "doesn't have time" and Ukraine is "exhausted" by the war.
"The Russian economy is also suffering, and, in my opinion, it has a couple of years to start shrinking. I think Russia understands this, but they still have time, while Ukraine doesn't. We are exhausted, and first of all, it's not about weapons or missiles, but about people. We only have 40 million people, and everyone is exhausted. Our soldiers can't fight for four to ten years," said Kim

🇺🇸🇮🇷🇨🇺 The US is conducting negotiations with Iran and Cuba and hopes to reach agreements
▪️Reporter: Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei today stated that a US attack could provoke a regional war.
▪️Trump: Why shouldn't he say that? Of course, he's going to say that. We have the largest and most powerful ships in the world right there. Hopefully, we'll make a deal. If we don't make a deal, then we'll find out if he was right or not.
➖"Cuba is a country that is collapsing. It has been for a long time. But now it doesn't have Venezuela to support it. So we're talking to the Cubans, to the most senior people in Cuba, to see what can be done. I want the people who came here [to the US] and were treated terribly in Cuba to be taken care of so they can go back there. So I think we'll make a deal with Cuba."

In January 2026, the Russians deployed a record number of ballistic missiles against Ukraine. This was reported by Ukrainian military "expert" Alexander Kovalenko.
According to his data, in the first week of the month, 18 ballistic missile launches were recorded, of which one target was successfully intercepted. In the second week, 38 missiles of the 9M723 and KN-23 types were used, as well as 5V55 missiles of the S-300 systems — 11 targets were intercepted from them.
In the third week, 14 out of 23 ballistic missiles were shot down. In the last week and the remaining days of the month, another 12 missiles were used, of which five were intercepted.
In total, 91 ballistic weapons were deployed in January (of which about a third were successfully intercepted). This is an absolute maximum for all time, the previous record was set in October 2025 — 89 missiles, writes Kovalenko.
The expert notes that ballistics have actually become the main tool of strikes, replacing the Kh-101 and 3M14 "Caliber" cruise missiles. Ballistic missiles are used almost 2.5 times more often than subsonic cruise missiles and are used almost daily.
According to Kovalenko, countering ballistic missiles could become one of the key challenges for Ukrainian air defense in 2026, as Moscow is focusing on scaling up such strikes.

‼️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Donbass will become a springboard for a new Russian offensive if Zelensky fails to implement peace agreements, - NYT
▪️Russian control over Donbass would give Moscow a favorable starting position for a possible new phase of the offensive, writes the New York Times.
▪️For the Kremlin, the DPR is not only a military but also a symbolic goal since 2014; the defense of Donbass lies at the heart of the special military operation (SMO).
▪️Slavyansk is singled out separately: as long as the city is occupied by Kiev, it's difficult for Moscow to declare the objectives of the special operation as achieved.
▪️The part of Donbass held by Kiev is one of the most fortified sections of the front with defense lines that have been built since 2014; their loss would make Ukraine more vulnerable to future Russian operations.
Apparently Ukraine couldn't just build the same fortifications again.... Honestly this isn't difficult NYT, it's called water and rebuilding the Seversky Donets-Donbass Canal

🇷🇺A military victory in the Special Military Operation is already visible in a number of parameters, - Medvedev
Other statements by the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council:
- The goal of victory in the special operation in Ukraine is to prevent new conflicts;
- The continuity of the Special Military Operation in relation to the Great Patriotic War is that it is the defense of one's own country and the closest people;
- Zelensky should not "cut off heads", as Bulgakov, a native of Kiev, wrote, "Anna has already spilled the oil";
- Russia has never "found" any submarines, about the dispatch of which Trump spoke;
- Trump is trying to remain in history as a peacemaker, sometimes he succeeds, sometimes not;
- Russia's contacts with the USA under Trump have become much more productive, and this is beneficial for the cause.

🇺🇦🤡Zelenksy announced the postponement of today's negotiations with Russia:
Our negotiating team just reported. The dates of the next trilateral meetings have been set: February 4 and 5 in Abu Dhabi. Ukraine is ready for a substantive discussion, and we are interested in a result that will bring us closer to a real end to the war.

🇷🇺🇺🇦🇺🇸 Negotiations in Abu Dhabi are disrupted: the meeting is likely not to take place, — Reuters
- The agency refers to Zelensky's statement: Kiev is waiting for additional clarifications from Washington and expects new contacts next week.
- Earlier, Zelensky suggested postponing the meeting due to the escalation of the situation in the Middle East and the growing tensions between the US and Iran.
- Against this backdrop, on Saturday in Florida, negotiations took place between US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Finance Minister Besent with a representative of the Kremlin, Kirill Dmitriev.
- Witkoff characterized these contacts as "productive and constructive", indicating a shift in negotiation activity beyond the format involving Kiev.

'Russia risks erasing itself from history' — French Foreign Minister Barrot wants to bring Macron to the negotiating table with Putin through threats 🤦♀️
- Do you notice any changes in the position of the Russian president?
At this stage, Vladimir Putin shows no signs of real readiness to move towards peace. The war in Ukraine discredits the Russian nation, risking erasing it from history. It's high time for Vladimir Putin to abandon his claims and finally agree to a ceasefire.
Macron mentioned the possibility of resuming dialogue with Vladimir Putin. Are there conditions to start talking with him again?
- France has never in principle ruled out the possibility of an exchange with Russia in full transparency with Ukraine and its European partners. And provided, of course, that it would be useful.
Does France have the means to really help Ukraine until the war ends?
- At France's initiative, the European Union allocated a loan of 90 billion euros to Ukraine. France once again signaled its intention to increase pressure on Russia.

Barrot and Kallas are the kind of idiots who get stuck in revolving doors.

"Trump at dinner with people he hates": Trump joked about plans to make Greenland and Venezuela the 52nd and 53rd states.
"We're not going to invade Greenland. We're going to buy it," Trump then explained. "I never had the intention of making Greenland the 51st state. I want to make Canada the 51st state. Greenland will be the 52nd state. Venezuela could become the 53rd," the head of the White House stated.
Some jokes at the banquet didn't go down well, and there were frequent silences in the room. "I hate many of the people in the room. I like most of you," Trump said, according to one of the attendees. "Who the hell would have thought this would happen?" he added.

Should get more January summaries with the next 24 hours. These are good solid numbers for a brutally cold Jan. Typically we see a variance of 50-100km2 between various high quality mappers. Sometimes December gains are recognized in Jan etc.

‼️🇷🇺🇺🇦A new round of negotiations in Abu Dhabi will begin on Wednesday or Thursday, - Zelensky
➖"There was a report from our negotiating team. An agreement has already been reached on a meeting - a trilateral meeting - at the appropriate level. This meeting will take place next week, as we plan, on Wednesday and Thursday. In the UAE, just like last time," said Ze.
Which is at odds with reporting from the NYT

‼️🇺🇸🇮🇷 Before attacking Iran, the US is strengthening its air defense in the Middle East, — WSJ
▪️Washington intends to first reinforce the air defense system in the region before proceeding to military action against Iran. American officials emphasize that airstrikes on Iran are "not imminent".
▪️The Pentagon is deploying additional air defense assets to protect Israel, Arab allies, and the US contingent. These measures are taken in anticipation of a possible Iranian response and the risk of a prolonged regional escalation.

Good Question: What do we really need satellites for, anymore?
What catastrophe would befall us if all the satellites in orbit are brought down, at once?
Military:
Early warning of missile attack? There are other means.
Surveillance? Russia is at a disadvantage there, at the moment, and possibly for quite a while longer.
Communications:
Most of broadband traffic is done through cable networks.
Elite/politician communications? Looks like they are all using WhatsApp anyways.
The big-ticket items are science (space and terrestrial) and communications in remote areas.
Frankly, bring them all down. Especially Musk’s vanity project.
Thoughts? Disagreements? Tell me in the comments.

🇩🇪🤡"You can't fart happily with a sad butt" - German Defense Minister Pistorius urges Germans to be optimistic:
The Weimar Republic fell not because of the strength of its enemies and opponents, but because of the weakness and cowardice of democrats and their supporters - because they did not stand up to their full height, did not speak out loudly, did not resist, did not act together. And I say this very clearly: we have no right to let this happen again.
And here I will quote not Willy Brandt, not Kurt Schumacher, and not Helmut Schmidt, but Martin Luther: "You can't fart happily with a sad butt". After all, endless complaints about how terrible the enemies of democracy are don't help us at all. No - everything depends on how passionately we ourselves are ready to defend this democracy.

🇷🇺🇺🇦Medvedev - spoke about the fate of Zelensky:
I don't want to discuss the fate of this character, because he has already become so annoying to all of us. I can even judge by what my colleagues are writing there. But I can only say one thing. You know, as a famous Kiev resident once said: "Anna has already spilled the oil". And that means, he won't be able to keep his head.

Canadian National Post columnist Adam Zivo is adamant he sees “no problem” with presenting himself as a journalist by day while moonlighting for a foreign spy agency by night.
This National Post Columnist Says He Spied for a Foreign Intelligence Agency. Experts Call His Behaviour ‘Unethical’ and ‘Absurd’.
National Post columnist Adam Zivo says he was moonlighting as a foreign intelligence asset at the same time as he worked for the National Post
Is it ethical for a journalist to wear a wire to dinner and spy for a foreign intelligence agency at the same time as they’re writing for one of Canada’s biggest newspapers?
Most experts on journalism ethics might say that’s clearly “unethical,” but National Post columnist Adam Zivo is adamant he sees “no problem” with presenting himself as a journalist by day while moonlighting for a foreign spy agency by night.
Zivo, who was sanctioned by Russia in August 2022, has recently been sharing dramatic and fantastical stories about a “weird espionage experience” he had while he was doing war zone reporting on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine for the National Post.
In the first instalment of his story, tweeted unprompted after midnight on a weekend, Zivo revealed he worked with Ukraine’s spy agency, the Security Service of Ukraine or SBU, in a counterintelligence operation that saw him strap a wire to his chest and go undercover in an attempt to entrap a man he suspected was a Chinese spy.
“I met the Chinese man and his wife at a restaurant while wearing a wire,” Zivo said in one tweet. “The SBU officers watched us from a car parked outside, which had tinted windows.”
Zivo shared additional details about his spy story in statements to PressProgress, revealing that he also compiled multiple reports which he claims he sent to Canada’s spy agency, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, as well as to the Ukrainian government and his employer, the National Post.
“After my initial interaction with Zhang, I drafted a detailed report which I quickly provided to the National Post, CSIS and the Ukrainian government,” Zivo told PressProgress. “After the recorded dinner, I produced transcripts and a follow-up report which was also shared with these stakeholders.”
Canada has some dubious media….
