This is the beginning of a new week and 1,068 days since Russia introduced its giant invasion at Ukraine scale.
As the war draws closer to its three-year anniversary, we’re taking a step back to look at the bigger picture.
Before we begin, here’s a card that appears on the battlefield:
Although the war between Israel and Hamas stopped due to a high fire agreement, there is still such agreement on the table in Ukraine.
Many expected Donald Trump’s return to the White House to push forward potential peace negotiations, with the president emphasizing the end of the war on the campaign trail.
Instead, there’s been a lot of talking about talking, from all corners.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy says that kyiv will have to be included in peace conversations and that he also needs representatives from Europe around the table.
Trump says he meets Putin “immediately” and that the Russian president has reported feeling the same way.
Putin told a Russian state television journalist: “We believe that the president’s existing statements about his preference to the paintings together. We are open to this and in a position for negotiations.
“It would be greater for us to know, about today’s realities, talk calmly. “
US hasn’t stopped military aid
Last week, there were considerations in Ukraine after Marco Rubio, the newly sworn in U. S. Secretary of State, announced that he had halted foreign aid subsidies for 90 days.
Ukraine was founded in the United States for 40% of his army needs, and Trump in the past threatened to attract the envoy.
Fortunately for Kyiv, Zelenskyy showed on Saturday that Washington had halted its army aid shipments.
“I am focusing on the help of the army; it has been arrested, thank God,” he said at a press convention throughout the president of Moldavo, Maia Sandu.
Zelenskyy said if humanitarian aid had stopped.
Russia drops “thousands” of explosives
In the context of international relations and politics, it continues to destroy lives in Ukraine.
Zelenskyy said Russia had used 1,250 air bombs, more than 750 attack drones and more than 20 missiles to attack Ukraine over the past week.
“Only determination can avoid those terrorists,” he said in X.
“We are constantly running with our partners to our defense capabilities and decreases Russia’s ability to terrorize Ukraine.
“Long range capacities are crucial. The sanctions are essential. The fall in oil costs is important. The key is to act in unity and live with resolution. “
Trump’s oil defense
Speaking of oil, Trump used the component of his speech before the World Economic Forum in Davos on Thursday night on Thursday night to resort to the hard oil sign to reduce costs as a blow of the Moscow portfolio.
“Right now the price is high enough that that war will continue,” he said, calling on Saudi Arabia and OPEC to cut prices.
Putin downplayed Trump’s economic threats, saying “excessively” low oil prices were bad for both the US and Russia.
“We don’t see anything new here,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said when asked about Trump’s economic ultimatums.
Elsewhere in the region…
The population of Bélarus began to vote the presidential elections, which is almost certain that the government of Alexandre Lukashenko will increase.
The authoritarian leader wins a seventh term as leader in yesterday’s election, extending his 31 years in power.
His iron-fisted rule since 1994 earned Lukashenko the nickname of “Europe’s last dictator”, relying on subsidies and political support from close ally Russia.
It let Moscow use its territory to invade Ukraine in 2022 and even hosts some of Russia’s tactical nuclear weapons.
“It is having a dictatorship as in Belarus that a democracy like Ukraine,” Lukashenko said in his openness.
Meanwhile, in neighboring Slovakia, Robert Fico, prime minister of the country, rejected the calls for his resignation after tens of thousands of other people have demonstrated the replacement in the policy of his Government of Russia.
About 60,000 people protested in the capital, Bratislava, on Friday and approximately 100,000 turned out for rallies in cities across the country.
These are some of the portions of Ukraine of Sky correspondents and editors this month:
Thank you for following our canopy since the war in Ukraine today.
Before we go, here are the main developments today:

The head of the foreign policy of the European Union has rejected Donald Trump’s accusations that Europe has not paid for its just percentage to Ukraine.
Trump said the United States had hired Ukraine more than in Europe, however, Kaja Kallas said Europe was the largest contribution.
“By my count, we have given more than €134 billion (£113 billion) to Ukraine. This makes us the largest donor,” Kallas told Reuters.
She also said that the EU should be involved in any peace talks, amid suggestions that the US could run the negotiations alone.
“Any negotiation or agreement between Russia and Ukraine, which also considers Europe. Therefore, “not just anything in Europe Europe” is also the main thing here,” he declared.
The United Nations deputy responded to Donald Trump’s threats to Moscow.
Earlier, the US president said he would impose tariffs and sanctions “if we don’t make a ‘deal’ and soon”.
Now Dmitry Polyanskiy said the Kremlin sees what Trump believes an agreement includes before doing so.
“It’s not just about ending the war,” Polyanskiy told Reuters.
“It is above all a fight against the reasons for the Ukrainian crisis. “
He continued: “Therefore, we will have to see what” agreement “means in the understanding of President Trump. It is not guilty for what the United States has been doing in Ukraine since 2014, which in fact” anti-russia “and the preparation of War with us, however, is in its strength to avoid this malicious policy.
