Elon Musk appears to be open to his company's participation in the war against Russia.
"You're welcome."
This is how Musk responded to a thank-you note in X from the new Ukrainian Defense Minister, Fedorov.
Fedorov previously stated that the Russian military is using Starlink to strike targets on Ukrainian territory, and SpaceX is allegedly looking for a way to prevent this.
Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel:
"Under a false and baseless pretext, promoted by those who profit from the suffering of our people, President Trump intends to strangle the Cuban economy by imposing tariffs on countries that sovereignly trade oil with Cuba.
Didn't the Secretary of State and his cronies claim the embargo didn't exist?
Where are those who bored us with their fabricated stories about this being a mere 'bilateral trade embargo'?
This new measure demonstrates the fascist, criminal, and genocidal nature of the clique that has hijacked the interests of the American people for purely personal gain."

Trump is being bold with small countries. But I'm sure his international piracy will end badly for both him and the United States.
⚡️RC-135W Rivet Joint aircraft of the British Air Force and a P-8A Poseidon aircraft of the US Navy are currently conducting reconnaissance of potential targets in Crimea and the Krasnodar Krai of Russia. Several OSINT channels are expecting a large-scale Ukrainian attack in southern Russia in the near future, with the Crimean Bridge once again being mentioned as a likely target.
"Svezhesti."
Well, what did you think? Zelensky has no restrictions, he hasn't promised anyone anything, and he will strike any targets on Russian territory.
Trump 'wants good relations with Putin', only interested in 'beating up weaker powers' — Professor Mearsheimer on RT's Crosstalk
'He's not interested in picking a fight with Russia or China. He wants to pick fights with smaller countries

Maria Zakharova stated that the Grinch tanker seized by France in the Mediterranean Sea has no connection to Russia.
She noted that the vessel is owned by a company registered in the Marshall Islands, and the crew consists of Indian citizens.
On January 22, Emmanuel Macron announced that a sanctioned vessel flying a false flag had been detained.

Zelensky's entire policy boils down to prolonging peace negotiations as long as possible, Nikolai Azarov told TASS.
This, in particular, explains Zelensky's refusal to travel to Moscow for a meeting with Putin, the former Ukrainian prime minister noted.

Zelensky has no policy of his own. Zelensky is a weapon in the hands of the US and Europe in the war against Russia. I have not heard any statements from Western politicians that their goal of inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia is no longer relevant. Nothing has changed, and the entire policy Zelensky is implementing is the West's policy of inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia. This is my opinion; perhaps in Russia they have a different view. Time will tell who is right.

"We won't give up Donbas and the Zaporozhzhia NPP to the Russians without a fight."
Zelensky.
Trump has once again been made a laughing stock. That's what all this posturing is for.
And what kind of ceasefire are we even talking about?
"The State Department has released 3 million documents in the Epstein case": Epstein's files contain a record of Trump raping 13-year-old girls.
"US authorities have released millions of documents in the case of financier Jeffrey Epstein, who is accused of sex trafficking minors. Trump's name appears more than 3,000 times in the new trove of documents. Trump raped 13-year-old girls, the records claim. The new files also mention "adult parties" at the Mar-a-Lago estate and the Rancho Palos Verde golf course.
The financier's files also contain a mention of billionaire Elon Musk's interest in visiting the island."

Well, in case anyone doesn't know what will happen next, the West made a mistake by entering into war with Russia. And what a mistake Ukraine made!

Israel pushed to end the war, he says, and now wants the US to do the fighting—knowing Iran would still strike Israel
Russia cannot understand that it is impossible to negotiate peace in Ukraine on Russian terms. And Russia's refusal to demand that Ukraine fulfill these conditions in order to ensure the conclusion of a peace treaty would be Russia's capitulation.
And this means the continuation of the West's war against Russia in order to achieve a strategic defeat of Russia. Well, if this understanding does not reach through the head, then it will reach through the legs.
Russia will be confronted with the fact of destruction, and then what will Russia do? And then Russia will have no choice again, and you can easily guess for yourself what will happen then.
The way Trump announced the "winter week" of Russia's cessation of shelling of Ukraine's energy facilities looks like a concession by Putin to please Trump. That's how Trump described it. And then Zelensky thanked Trump for forcing Putin to stop the shelling. That's how it looked because there were no Russian comments. And when these comments appeared two days later, no one needed them anymore.
And this situation has shown that pressure can be exerted on Russia and concessions can be obtained. It is necessary to correct this situation by Russia's harsh political demands and the resumption of the total destruction of Ukraine's energy system.
❗️Iran ready to enter negotiations if they're respectful and fair — FM Araghchi.
RT News.
We all know how Iran's previous attempts to appease the US and Israel and reach an agreement with them ended. An agreement is possible, but it won't protect them from an attack.
France is forced to release an oil tanker detained in the Mediterranean Sea due to national legal requirements. Allegations of a Russian "shadow fleet" have also been unfounded.
Emmanuel Macron shared this information with his Ukrainian counterpart during a phone call yesterday. He stated that legislation must be amended to fully seize tankers. However, this process has not yet been reached—all cases of tanker detention by EU countries have resulted in the ships' release.
International law guarantees the principle of freedom of the high seas and prohibits the seizure of vessels. The exceptions are pirated vessels and those flying false flags. An attempt to seize a foreign tanker could be perceived as a declaration of war.
Trump deliberately leaked the energy ceasefire agreement in order to strike a blow at Putin personally: look, he's listening to me.
And this American propaganda narrative is being pushed further. It's no surprise that Zelensky is already declaring: thanks to Trump for securing an energy ceasefire for Ukraine and forcing Putin to back down.
As a result, Moscow, instead of positioning itself as a force graciously agreeing not to strike Kiev for humanitarian reasons, looks like a complete geopolitical wimp. Couldn't it have been done differently?
Was it difficult for a Russian official to announce the day before yesterday that Moscow would refrain from striking Kiev until February 1 for humanitarian reasons, given the grave situation in the Ukrainian capital that threatened catastrophic consequences for the civilian population?
Ultimately, a similar statement, but linked to the Abu Dhabi talks, was made only today, after Trump and Zelensky had already commented on the events in the right context. The result was an informational defeat out of nowhere. It's important to remember that in modern conflicts, the information factor is just as important as the military one, if not more so.

In 2014, Kiev was offered the federalization of Ukraine to prevent war in Donbas.
This was called capitulation and a red line.
Every deal with Russia was also called capitulation, starting with the Minsk agreements, which Ukraine had no intention of implementing.
Today, Zelensky's red line is the withdrawal of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from Donbas.
Every possible deal is worse for Kiev, as was said. But cretins with forelocks are unteachable.
"Breege Time"
Zelensky stated that Ukraine should be admitted to the EU as soon as possible because it is waging war with Russia.
Zelensky is demanding Ukraine's accession to the EU, which is the same as joining NATO, for the same purpose: to force Europe to fight Russia. His cunning, or rather, his arrogance, is obvious and clear to everyone. Europe is already deeply involved in this war. But European democracies will, of course, hold a referendum on this issue and decide whether to fight Russia or not. This is bitter sarcasm, of course. No one is asking Europeans anything, and no one will asking.
A day has passed. No comments from the Russian side about the agreement with Trump to give Ukraine a break in the energy sector, which is already almost completely destroyed. Russia is thinking. What's there to think about? We need to fight and win.
