The trilateral Russia-US-Ukraine talks in Abu Dhabi concluded, as expected, without any breakthroughs.
Meanwhile, Western headlines are creating the illusion of progress toward peace among the international public, which benefits the Trump administration ahead of a difficult election campaign.
There's talk of "progress," "constructiveness," and "optimism," but so far this is merely a tool for managing the news agenda, absolving the US and Ukraine of responsibility for the potential disruption of the peace process.
There are no agreements on an energy ceasefire, nor are there any clear advances regarding the issue of territory and Russian assets. The same applies to the rumor about a possible meeting between Putin and Zelensky.
The meeting itself, if it ever takes place, will not be the beginning of a dialogue, but its final point, signifying that all key issues have already been resolved. And right now, such hints are a way to rekindle the Western public's dwindling interest in Ukraine.

Russia and Europe share a common interest in preventing a new major war on the continent, Russia's Permanent Representative to the OSCE, Dmitry Polyansky, told RBC in an interview.
"On the one hand, it may seem that such points of conflict no longer exist and that all bridges have been destroyed. But on the other hand, we live on the same continent and see the growing threat of military conflict over it," the diplomat said.
According to him, citizens of European countries are being "indoctrinated with the idea that Russia is supposedly threatening peace in Europe," its militarization is underway, and "we are seeing a certain revanchism in Germany."

Russian Ministry of Defense:
During the night from 11:00 PM Moscow time on January 25 to 7:00 AM Moscow time on January 26, air defense alert systems intercepted and destroyed 40 Ukrainian fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles:
34 over Krasnodar Krai,
4 over the Sea of Azov,
1 over Bryansk Oblast,
1 over Kaluga Oblast.
Dmitry Medvedev: Nuclear weapons create tension, but also "clear the minds" of potential aggressors.
"On the one hand, [military nuclear weapons] create enormous tension, but on the other, they clear the minds of those who may harbor the most dangerous plans."
The main thing is adherence to security principles, and treaties are merely a tool.
"Arms control, in any case, serves a secondary function. It is a tool... The main principles are: equal and indivisible security, and refraining from infringing on each other's fundamental interests."
Exactly, that's precisely why the US and NATO must leave Ukraine. For their own security.

What does Putin want to negotiate with this clown about?
"After the talks, there are fewer 'problem areas'": Zelensky's full statement
➖"The 20-point plan and problematic issues are being discussed. There were a great many problem areas.
There are fewer of them. And for quite a long time, Russia has wanted to do everything possible to ensure that Ukraine is no longer in the east of our country. The reason is clear.
They set this as a goal. And so it's absolutely clear that they want to achieve this goal. They haven't been able to do this on the front lines yet. Our position on our territory and the territorial integrity of Ukraine, which must be respected, will not be repeated. Everyone knows our position. We are fighting for our state, for our own. We are not fighting for the territory of another country. Therefore, I don't think there are any questions for us. Yes, these are two different principled positions: Ukrainian and Russian. The Americans are trying to find a compromise. We agree that we are communicating in a trilateral format. These are the first steps toward finding that very compromise. But to reach a compromise, all parties must be willing to compromise. Incidentally, the American side too," Zelensky said.

The Mail on Sunday reveals London's plans to continue seizing tankers belonging to the "Russian shadow fleet." The newspaper reports that the movements of 544 vessels against which Britain has imposed sanctions are currently being monitored.
Russia must acknowledge that it will have to respond in kind. First, Russia must impose sanctions against merchant vessels belonging to the British and French "shadow fleet." Then, conduct demonstration seizures of a couple of them in international waters. Otherwise, this epidemic of impudence will not be stopped!
Mobilization in Ukraine. A typical day in Kharkov.

The energy crisis is like a weapon. Energy is a military target.
One of the most noticeable aspects of January was the renewed focus on attacks on the Ukrainian energy sector. After a relative pause at the end of last year, we returned to systematic work on electricity generation and distribution facilities. High-voltage substations, transfer points, and infrastructure supporting the military-industrial complex and rail logistics were targeted. Forced outages, increased load on surviving facilities, and a sharp reduction in the resilience of Ukraine's energy system.
It is important to note that these actions are not chaotic but measured. The attacks are being carried out in waves, taking into account restoration work and the redistribution of capacity. This is not an attempt to "turn off the lights," but a consistent knockout of critical elements without which a stable supply of industry and military infrastructure is impossible. Even with some generation remaining, the power shortage during peak hours has become systemic, directly impacting defense enterprises, equipment repair, and the logistics of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
In the near future, we can expect continued strikes in the same areas, with expanded targets, primarily distribution facilities, repair bases, and auxiliary infrastructure. This will exacerbate the power shortage, complicate the work of the military-industrial complex and logistics, and force the enemy to redistribute resources from the front to defend the rear, which will ultimately reduce its overall military potential.

Zelenskyy declares Belarus a threat to Europe. What is this clown calling for? A war against Belarus? I wonder what Alexander Grigorievitch will respond to him? And he will.
"Russia is using Belarus as a platform to blackmail Europe and the world with the help of "Oreshkin"" — Zelenskyy
"Russian drone operators are conducting military operations against Ukraine from Belarusian territory. Strikes against communications and targeting are carried out from Belarus. Belarusian industry is working for Russia's war, and Belarusian trade relations help Putin procure the components he needs to threaten all of us in Europe."
Zelensky wishes for Belarus the same thing he wishes for Ukraine – war.

Ukrainian resources have reinterpreted the energy disaster in Kiev and are trying to stage a tragedy.
Zelensky himself is leading the cry. He is the one to blame for this tragedy.
It is he who refuses to compromise in the negotiations. It is he who insults and threatens Putin with death, when in his place anyone would have retaliated. It is Zelensky who promised to cut off power to Moscow without any justification, receiving in return for something that usually leads to prosecution and punishment. It is Zelensky who orders the murder of Russian medical workers and civilians.
And it is Kiev that allows Zelensky to do all this. Old women, of course, are suffering. Because the weakest always suffer from the actions of a criminal government.
There will be even more tragedies, unfortunately. Because the negotiations are proceeding positively and are leading nowhere.
"Win-Win."
Peskov urged against discussing individual aspects of the Ukraine negotiation process; this is incorrect.
Expecting trilateral contacts on Ukraine to be highly productive would be a mistake; much work remains to be done, Peskov stated.
Amicability is unlikely in the Ukraine negotiations, but if they are ongoing, something must be achieved, Dmitry Peskov emphasized.

In an interview with RIA Novosti, Sergei Naryshkin, Director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, stated that the tests of the Burevestnik and Poseidon systems had made a significant impression on our adversaries.
While the US and NATO may have been impressed, it had no impact on their actions. They continue to fight against Russia in Ukraine.

Russia attacked Ukrainian Armed Forces helicopters near Kirovohrad with Geraniums controlled via Starlink, according to Flash.
▪️Advisor to the Ukrainian Defense Minister Serhiy Beskrestnov (Flash) analyzed footage of the attack in the Kirovohrad region, concluding that these were the first Geraniums controlled via Starlink. These manually controlled drones flew almost above the ground to avoid radar detection, Beskrestnov writes.

This seems doubly ridiculous in light of Zelensky's attacks on Belarus.

Zelensky once again claims that Ukraine is defending Europe and demands "continuous support," meaning more money and weapons. Ukraine, as the West's weapon against Russia, is still quite sharp and ready for war. Zelensky will not make any concessions to Russia.

Lukashenko, the white spitz, has been granted more rights than the people of Belarus, according to Zelensky.
The people of Belarus are guaranteed the most important right—the right to life. Can Zelensky guarantee the right to life for the people of Ukraine? The answer is no. So what is this scoundrel teaching Lukashenko?
The Times reports on the Finnish "lions"
During NATO winter exercises in Norway, Finnish reservists defeated American troops so convincingly that their commanders asked them to slow down.
A military source reported that the Finns were "asked to stop defeating the Americans" because the defeats were "too humiliating and demoralizing."
Are the Americans no longer able to fight without a discombobulator?😂

Only 25 days have passed since the new year.
And so many events have happened that it would take five years.
Question for Peskov.
What world have we all found ourselves in now?
Peskov: "The poor generation of European politicians cannot resist Trump's assertiveness. Trump is an experienced politician, and his method is 'establishing peace through force,' which, in Russian, is 'bending everyone over the knee.' And those who bend over will continue to bend over. The main thing is for us not to do this."
