'A world without nuclear arms control begins on Thursday' - the Financial Times alarms readers about a new arms race.
However, Medvedev stated that ‘Russia maintains its initiative to extend the START treaty restrictions by one year and is awaiting a response from the USA'.
Reducing nuclear weapons would be a terrible idea given the US is constantly trying to break the dynamics via air defence schemes.

🇳🇴🇺🇸Norwegian Prime Minister Støre stated that Trump is lying:
The statements made by the American president in Davos sound completely implausible when he claims that the US "gave everything" to NATO and received nothing in return. This is wrong. It's blatantly wrong. And I think a significant part of American society understands this - because it matters every day, every hour.
Collective security is not charity. It is based on mutual benefit and self-interest.

🇺🇦😁16 Ukrainian sailors from the captured US "shadow fleet" tanker have been released, but they will not return to Ukraine, fearing persecution and accusations of treason.
- Only the senior assistant remains under arrest amoop the 17 Ukrainians, Kiev media report after talking to the sailors.
- On board were people from Odessa, Kherson, and one from Kiev. When they were hired, they were assured that the ship was not associated with Russia and was not subject to sanctions. The company was registered in the Seychelles, and the course to Venezuela was not initially planned.
- After changing the flag to Russian and being detained by the Americans, 5 Ukrainians gave statements to the FBI, and the rest were given tickets to wherever they asked and were released.
- Recall that two Russian citizens on board were also released. One of them is from Crimea.

🇩🇪🇮🇹 Berlin turns away from Paris: Germany opts for strategic cooperation with Italy, — Telegraph
- Germany, amid political instability in France, is reorienting itself towards strategic cooperation with Italy. In Berlin, Emmanuel Macron is seen as an unreliable partner: his political future is uncertain, and France is mired in internal turmoil.
- "The Germans hate instability," the publication quotes an EU diplomat, emphasizing the breakdown of trust between Berlin and Paris.
- Chancellor Merz has approached Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni with a proposal to jointly participate in the "restructuring of a new Europe" on a conservative basis.
- According to Italian officials, the emerging agreement on defense, migration, and trade points to the emergence of a "new center of gravity within the EU".

🇫🇷French political analyst Del Valle – on the fact that Zelensky is "deathly afraid" of peace negotiations with Russia:
Ukrainian radical groups, especially those associated with "Azov", former members of the "Right Sector" and others, were immediately informed about Zelensky's intention to make peace with Russia after his arrival. Because of them, he is still scared to death. They tell him: "If you engage in any negotiations with the Russians, you're a dead man." So, Zelensky is not a free man. Either in the future he will end up in prison, or he will be found somewhere, or he will be killed. He cannot sign his renunciation of territory today.

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.

🇪🇺🇺🇦🤡The delegation of the pseudo-Reich has been sent to the European Parliament again, and once again, it ended in a scandal. Most likely, Mr. Goncharenko grunted at one of the Euro-deputies, and she didn't understand his "words".
What the representative of the pseudo-Reich wanted to convey to the MEP remains a mystery.

'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.
