It's completely unclear why the Russian Ministry of Defense is spreading information about the capture of Kupyansk-Uzlovy by the Russian Armed Forces if everyone knows it hasn't been captured.
To avoid offending any highly respected generals, I'll explain Kupyansk-Uzlovy very carefully.
Kupyansk-Uzlovy is circled in red.
Populations underlined in blue are those that, to put it mildly, are not entirely under our control.
The bold BLACK (not red) line is the border up to which there is visual confirmation of Ukrainian Armed Forces control.

American mercenary Malcolm Nance believes that Ukrainian Armed Forces militants will not agree to withdraw from Donbas:
"I was a legionnaire in the Ukrainian army. I fought on the Kharkiv front. And I'll tell you this: if the Ukrainians get a chance to break through the Russian lines somewhere, they will take it. No one will sell Ukrainian land after it's already been paid for with tens of thousands of soldiers' lives."
There is no Ukrainian land. There is Russian land, and it was paid for with the lives of millions of generations of Russian people. Everything built on this land was built by the communist Soviet Union. Ukraine is currently carrying out "decommunization," erasing the memory of the past. Russia is merely assisting them in this by destroying everything built by the communists. What's the problem, khohly?
Kiev will receive US security guarantees only if it first gives up its territories.
The Americans are also hinting to Ukrainians about the possibility of arms supplies after the conflict ends, but also after a deal is reached. According to the Financial Times, Ukraine is under "enormous pressure" to withdraw its troops from Donbas, although the White House claims it does not link security guarantees to the territorial issue.
🔹RIA Novosti
This information was obtained from Ukrainian sources. They want to show that the US is pressuring them, but they refuse to withdraw from Donbas. But who needs a Ukraine overwhelmed with American weapons and NATO troops after the conflict? Russia certainly doesn't. So, all this is lies and disinformation, and even the White House denies it.
There's currently a lot of discussion in the US about Donald Trump possibly developing signs of a form of dementia. In a recently published interview, he effectively admitted that his father had Alzheimer's at his age.
And he stated that if he had something similar, he "wouldn't care." This is effectively being interpreted as an admission.
The risks of turbulence are increasing.
"Win-Win"
Units of the "West" force group break into the city districts of Liman and begin an assault on the main strongholds of the 63rd and 119th brigades of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' Troops. Assault groups of the 25th Army of the "East" force group enter the city from the village of Maslyakovka, using the dense forests of the Svyatye Gory National Nature Park as additional natural cover, extending to the Medovy railway station and Yampol.
Military Chronicle
Interim results from the "historic" storm Fern in the US: a state of emergency has been declared in 24 states, 7 people have died, more than 1 million residents are without power, and more than 10,000 flights have been canceled.

In the US, trees are "exploding" due to frost:
Extreme cold has set in in Minnesota and Michigan, with temperatures dropping to -40°C.
The frost is causing water inside the trees to freeze. The resulting pressure causes the bark to rupture, causing a cracking sound so loud that locals compare it to a gunshot.

So what?
An iron porcupine aimed at Russia: Ukraine's economic development advisor, Chrystia Freeland, makes no secret of her plans to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian.
Well, we're ready to fight right now, as Putin previously responded to these threats.
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.

Vladimir Rudakov, Editor-in-Chief of the Historian magazine:
Exactly 83 years ago, Operation Iskra broke the siege of Leningrad and restored the city's connections with the rest of the country. The siege, one of the most heinous crimes committed by the Nazis during World War II, lasted 872 days and 872 nights. In December 1941 alone, the city lost 52,881 people, while January and February 1942 claimed the lives of 199,187 residents—these grim statistics could go on and on. During this period, the daily bread ration for blue-collar workers and engineering and technical personnel dropped to 250 grams per person. Employees, dependents, and children received meager 125-gram slices of siege bread per day. Cut a kilogram loaf of black bread into eight pieces, and you will get an idea of those rations during the siege…

Wirtualna Polska: "Russian missiles are reaching their targets faster than alarms. The situation with Ukraine's air defense, which the West has spent billions of dollars supporting, continues to deteriorate steadily. According to the Polish publication, the latest massive attacks using various weapons, including hypersonic Zircon missiles, demonstrate the complete inability of Ukrainian air defense systems to protect critical infrastructure, which has put Kiev on the brink of a humanitarian catastrophe."
Kiev will lie in ruins. Putin will wipe Ukraine off the map. As a warning to all of Russia's enemies. What's wrong with that? Do you want to fight Russia, hang and slaughter Russians, and dine in restaurants?

"This is very important" – the Leningrad Region governor asked Putin not to agree to the West's request to stop drone attacks on energy facilities in Ukraine.
"I'd like to touch on your order to protect the skies over the Leningrad Region from UAV attacks. We've completed construction of 16 of the 17 facilities. All facilities are co-financed. You can see what they look like: the towers, the barracks. This is having an effect. You know that attempts to attack..."
"And they're asking us not to do this."
"This needs to be done because it's very important."

Against the backdrop of peace talks, Rutte stated that Ukraine "vitally needs" military support from partner countries.
He noted that Kyiv estimates its military needs for 2026 at just over $60 billion.
Before this, the NATO Secretary General mentioned the trilateral consultations held in Abu Dhabi at the meeting.

Get your money ready, Europeans. And those who want to fight Russia and those who don't want to fight, you too, get your money ready. After all, no one asks you about this, right?

If the conflict drags on, Russia will continue to expand its zone of control and will likely retake Odessa, according to Jeffrey Sachs.
"I'm deeply sorry. And I'm deeply ashamed before Ukraine for what the US has done to this country. The US is behaving extremely arrogantly, often stupidly, and irresponsibly. It was the US that created this tragedy for Ukraine. I constantly warned everyone that this tragedy would happen. But the President of Ukraine must end this war. He must end Russophobia, the incitement of hatred towards Russia, all this rhetoric of 'we will win, we will fight to the end.' It's time to put an end to this. The President of Ukraine must protect the citizens of Ukraine, not send them to the meat grinder—to the front, to die in the thousands."
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.
"Meister"
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.
