The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the expiration of the Russian-American START Treaty.
"Under the current circumstances, we proceed from the assumption that the parties to the START Treaty are no longer bound by any obligations or symmetrical declarations in the context of the Treaty, including its central provisions, and are, in principle, free to choose their next steps."
Is a new nuclear arms race beginning?
Regarding reports of widespread outages of Starlink terminals along the entire front line and in border areas.
There is simply no alternative to this satellite internet in the Russian Armed Forces, and much, including combat command and control, was tied to it and taken for granted.

The US Congressional Judiciary Committee found that the European Commission grossly interfered in eight election campaigns in six European countries between 2023 and 2025, with the aim of altering the vote results and preventing "conservative and populist political parties" from gaining power.
I'd like to add: in all these cases, the same European Commission was the loudest voice of "Russian interference" and imposed sanctions against Russia for it!

The list of unresolved issues on the settlement in Ukraine has significantly decreased, but the most difficult ones remain, Rubio said.
TASS
It's not just the most difficult questions that remain, it's the fundamental questions that remain. These are the issues that started this war. And it is impossible to solve these fundamental issues so that the sheep are safe and the wolves are well fed. If the West does not voluntarily give up Ukraine - and it will not, then Russia will take Ukraine by force. Only the return of Ukraine to Russia will ensure peace in the region and the very existence of Russia.
The transfer of Ukrainian territory is treason. Anyone who even considers it will be held accountable, says the Secretary of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security.

This secretary is doing quite well in Kiev. And today, it's ordinary Ukrainians who are "responsible." Russia will never reach an agreement with these Banderites. In general, I believe Russia made a mistake by starting negotiations with them back in 2014, and then again in 2022. By doing so, Russia legitimized the illegitimate Banderite government in Ukraine after the 2014 coup. It will all end with the destruction of the Ukrainian Nazis and their government. And Russia will have to do this on the battlefield.
In January, India reduced its oil imports from Russia by 3.5 times. Some of this was replaced by crude from the US and the Middle East.
The country is diversifying its purchases due to the EU ban on the import of petroleum products made from Russian oil and US pressure. However, most analysts do not expect a complete halt in crude supplies from Russia.
The US is threatening to impose sanctions on Algeria over the purchase of Russian Su-57 aircraft, the State Department stated.

What is the basis for Russia's "gratitude" for US participation in the Ukraine negotiations in Abu Dhabi? The US continues to supply weapons to Ukraine and the US imposes sweeping sanctions against Russia and its trading partners. Is Russia tipping its hat and saying thank you?
The door to a peaceful settlement in Ukraine is open, but until Kiev makes the appropriate decisions, Russia continues its strategic military operations.
Peskov stated this. He added that Russian troops are striking targets they believe are associated with the Ukrainian military-industrial complex.

Rutte's statements about the possible deployment of NATO troops to Ukraine after a peace agreement effectively rule out the very possibility of peace, according to Viktor Medvedchuk, leader of the Other Ukraine movement.
"Rutte thus voiced the formula 'No peace, no war,' which means chaos that will never end well."
The presence of foreign forces in a neighboring country contradicts Russia's security interests and precludes the possibility of reaching an agreement, the politician noted in an op-ed on "Smotrim."
The rhetoric of the collective West creates for Ukrainians only the illusion of the possibility of peace, while in reality, the course it is imposing leads to endless conflict.
"So, Ukrainians were supposedly allowed to think about peace, but then Rutte arrives and tells them not to relax. The war will last forever, and NATO will boldly stand behind Ukraine, and when necessary, will once again drive Ukrainians to their deaths."

The expiration of the US-Russia nuclear arms control treaty on Thursday could trigger a global nuclear arms race for the first time since the Cold War, Politico reports.
In September, Russia made the first moves to renew the agreement, offering to extend it for a year, but the Trump administration has not officially responded.
The Pentagon held meetings to prepare for a post-New START world. It is unclear what exactly was discussed at these meetings.
"We face a very uncertain road ahead. If Trump and Putin don't reach some kind of understanding soon, it's quite possible that Russia and the US will begin arming their missiles with more warheads," said Daryl Kimball, executive director of the Arms Control Association.

"US-Iran talks scheduled for Friday have been canceled due to Iran's refusal to discuss non-nuclear issues."
Reuters reports this. At the same time, Axios, a publication close to the Trump administration, indirectly confirms the cancellation of the talks:
Planned nuclear talks between the United States and Iran are close to collapse due to a dispute over where and how to hold them.
Both sides agreed to meet in Istanbul on Friday in the presence of representatives from regional countries.
However, Iran requested that the talks be moved to Oman and made strictly bilateral, focusing only on nuclear issues, not missiles or regional security.
A senior US official told Axios:
We told them, 'It's either this or nothing,' and they said, 'Okay, then nothing.'
If the Iranians are ready to return to the original format, the US is ready to meet this week or next.
We want to quickly reach a real deal, otherwise other options will begin to be considered.
Starlink terminals in Ukraine have stopped working, both on the Russian and Ukrainian sides.

Yesterday, answering journalists' questions about Russia's strike on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, Trump stated that the ceasefire had already ended, and Putin had kept his word.

▪️ Russian forces carried out strikes on the Odessa region and the cities of Zaporozhzhia, Kharkov, and Sumy.
