Ukraine has added the Iranian IRGC to its list of terrorist organizations, Zelensky announced.
This came just days after Kallas made a similar announcement in the EU on January 29.
Russia's MFA comments on Coalition of the Willings' security guarantee plans:
Presence of foreign military in Ukraine UNACCEPTABLE, poses direct threat to Russia's security
ANY peace proposal must be examined for its acceptability to Russia and compliance with SMO's goals
MODI: Made in India products will now have REDUCED tariff of 18%… thanks to Trump
No confirmation India will stop buying Russian oil
Russia has submitted proposals to the US to remove barriers to a full-fledged improvement in relations between Moscow and Washington, the Foreign Ministry.
TASS.
How sweet! Meanwhile, Trump has reached an agreement with India not to buy Russian oil. The US is now openly stating that Russia is an enemy. What "proposals for improvement" could there possibly be?

"Good Girl." Venezuela's new president, Delcy Rodriguez, who handed over the carefree dancer Maduro to the Americans, publicly signed a law privatizing the country's oil industry in the interests of the United States, as Trump demanded.
She betrayed not only Maduro and the Venezuelan people, but also the memory of her father, an ideological socialist who was tortured to death in prison by the Americans.
Now Venezuela's oil industry belongs not only de facto but also de jure to the United States. After the law was passed, the US Treasury Department issued Venezuela a license permitting the export and refining of its own oil, which applies only to US companies.
And even any commercial disputes will now be resolved exclusively in US courts. Moreover, Venezuela is completely prohibited from dealing with Russia, China, Iran, and Cuba. Moreover, the Venezuelan authorities, who swore eternal alliance with the friendly socialist Cuban people, have effectively joined the energy blockade of the Island of Freedom.
Proceeds from Venezuelan oil sales will be channeled into special accounts managed by the United States. They can only be spent with American approval, meaning that repaying Venezuela's multi-billion dollar debt to Russia is out of the question. Previously, Caracas paid off its debts in kind with oil, but now any transactions with Russian and Chinese companies are prohibited.

Medvedev — that Great Britain should be called Britain, and Russia "Great Russia":
By the way, it is now fashionable to say "Britain" in relation to Britain. You know, yes, Mr. Lavrov recently said that "Why does only one country call itself great? Is this the UK" Well, we are not Great Russia, although we are, of course, Great Russia, but we do not call ourselves that.
I'm not even talking about the fact that Britain's position is a fodder base for the neo-Nazi Bandera regime. Because that's where they get their strength from. That's exactly why I had to write two unflattering articles about how Britain and the Allies supported the Nazis before World War II, that is, German Nazism, and another Nazism that flourished in Europe at that time, and in the second case, they supported Bandera after World War II. We just really trained these brothers. That is, the desire to destroy the Soviet Union or Russia, it doesn't matter what you call it.

The postponement of US, Ukrainian, and Russian talks to Abu Dhabi may be connected to Kirill Dmitriev's meeting with the American delegation in Miami, according to The New York Times.
However, the publication notes that the exact reason why the next round of talks, expected on Sunday, was postponed for several days remains unclear.
"The next round of talks is expected to focus on the US-backed 20-point peace plan, which includes potential territorial agreements, security guarantees, and plans for rebuilding the war-torn country," the article states.
As a reminder, Steve Witkoff, commenting on the talks with Kirill Dmitriev in Florida, stated that the US was encouraged by the meeting because it showed that "Russia is working to ensure peace in Ukraine."

The 20-point peace plan is Zelenskyy's plan, which simply deleted eight points crucial to Russia from the peace plan agreed upon by Putin and Trump in Anchorage. The US may be encouraged by this. But I don't see any reason why Russia should be thrilled about it.

A number of sources cite the presence of the Chinese research vessel Da Yang In Hao in the Arabian Sea, near the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, as one of the probable reasons for the postponed US attack on Iran.
The ship is located near the aircraft carrier to conduct "scientific research," but many suspect that China is likely sharing intelligence with Iran. The presence of this vessel near the US Navy carrier group is making Pentagon officials nervous.
For the second day now, this image of an alleged Russian military man or private military company employee aboard one of the "shadow fleet" tankers has been circulating on the Russian Telegram channel.
In reality, the image was taken back in April 2023, and is of the oceanographic research vessel (ORV) Admiral Vladimirsky of the Baltic Fleet, which is believed to be a spy ship.
There is currently no objective evidence of armed guards on Russian-linked tankers, and it is unlikely that such a step would be taken.

Chinese President Xi Jinping called for the yuan to become a global reserve currency. For the first time, he explicitly stated his intention to make the Chinese yuan a global reserve currency.
In an article for the party journal Qiushi, he emphasized the need to create a "strong currency" that would be widely used in international trade, investment, and foreign exchange reserves.
To achieve this goal, he said, China needs a strong central bank, globally competitive financial institutions, and developed international financial centers. banksta

"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 any intention of making Greenland the 51st state. I want to make Canada the 51st state. Greenland will be the 52nd state. Venezuela could be the 53rd," the White House chief declared.
Some jokes at the banquet fell flat, and silence reigned repeatedly in the room. "I hate a lot of people in this room. I like most of you," Trump said, according to one person present. "Who the hell thought this would happen?" he added.

Medvedev, when asked if he would have pressed the red button:
You know, I'll tell you this. Anyone who has agreed to run for and been elected president of a nuclear power, any country with the corresponding type of weapons, cannot rule this out. Because, otherwise, they are obligated to refuse such a position. And there are special documents, you know, under which our nuclear doctrine exists, and our nuclear forces, our strategic nuclear forces, are developing.
So, naturally, this can never be ruled out. But God forbid it comes to that. As Supreme Commander-in-Chief, I naturally participated in all the necessary training during that period, including on nuclear weapons.
Donald Trump stated that if the US and Iran don't reach a deal, it will become clear whether Ayatollah Khamenei was right in warning of the risk of a regional war due to a US attack.
"Why wouldn't he say that? Of course he's going to say that. We have the largest and most powerful ships in the world there, very close. We hope we reach a deal. If we don't reach a deal, we'll find out whether he was right or not," the US President said.
"The Pentagon is deploying additional air defense assets to better protect Israel, Arab allies and American troops in the event of retaliation from Iran," writes the Wall Street Journal.
You understand that this refers to Iran's retaliatory actions after the US strike on it. The purpose of Trump's Golden Dome immediately becomes clear. This is the protection of the United States and its allies from a retaliatory Russian or Chinese strike after they are attacked by the United States. Everything is transparent, actually.

The world is on the brink of major upheaval: A US attack on Iran is possible in the next 48 hours, says Vučić
The Serbian President stated that the world is on the brink of major military and political upheavals. He said an attack on Iran could occur within the next two days.
Vučić linked the possible escalation to the publication of the "Epstein files," which, in his opinion, could accelerate tough decisions.
"I expect a strike on Iran and something else serious in the next 48 hours," he said.
Vučić noted that high-profile media scandals are often accompanied by forceful actions to divert attention. He cited the Monica Lewinsky scandal, which led to the US and NATO strikes on Yugoslavia, as an example.
