Kremlin dismisses claim Epstein was Russian spy

The Kremlin has mocked suggestions that late US financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein secretly worked as a Russian spy.​ Poland has said it will investigate Epstein’s alleged ties to Russian intelligence after the latest release of millions of documents from the so called Epstein files.​ Asked if Epstein was a Russian agent, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he was tempted to make many jokes about the idea but did not want to waste time on it.​ The newly released files show Epstein repeatedly spoke of wanting to meet President Vladimir Putin, although there is no evidence that such a meeting ever took place.​ Peskov has previously said the Kremlin never received any request from Epstein, who died in a US jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.​ Putin’s name appears often in the latest batch […]

Xi and Putin praise closer China Russia ties

Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin have praised the strength of relations between their countries during a video call held as the war in Ukraine nears its fourth anniversary.​ In remarks broadcast on Russian state television, Putin said the partnership between Moscow and Beijing is an important stabilising force at a time of growing global tensions. Xi, speaking through an interpreter, called for both countries to draw up a grand plan to further deepen ties, saying relations were moving in a positive direction.​ Days before Russia sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine in February 2022, China and Russia declared a strategic partnership with “no limits.” Since then, China has become a key economic lifeline for Russia, increasing trade as Western nations imposed sweeping sanctions on Moscow.​ Xi and Putin last met in person in Beijing […]

Russia says Iran uranium offer still open

Russia says its offer to take Iran’s enriched uranium abroad as part of a wider deal to ease United States concerns is still available.​ Foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told reporters in Moscow that Russia had previously proposed exporting Iran’s enriched uranium reserves to Russian territory. She said this initiative remains on the table but that it is for Iran to decide whether to accept it.​ Zakharova stressed that only Iran has the right to decide what to do with its uranium stockpile. She added that Tehran alone can choose whether to send the material abroad and, if so, to which country.​ The proposal is part of broader diplomatic efforts to reduce tensions over Iran’s nuclear programme and address Washington’s concerns about the level and volume of uranium enrichment. No decision by Iran on the renewed offer has been announced.

Russia batters Ukraine’s power grid with drones and missiles ahead of peace talks

Russia has launched one of its heaviest winter barrages on Ukraine’s energy system, firing around 450 drones and more than 70 missiles across eight regions and knocking out heating for hundreds of thousands of people in sub‑zero temperatures. The overnight strikes hit Kyiv and Kharkiv particularly hard, damaging power and heating infrastructure as well as several apartment blocks, a kindergarten building and other civilian sites. In the capital, authorities said about 1,170 apartment buildings were left without heating, while an air raid alert lasted more than five hours. Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal said facilities that heat water for homes were among the targets, leaving “hundreds of thousands of families, including children” without warmth as temperatures plunged to around minus 20 to minus 25 degrees Celsius. In Kharkiv, Mayor Ihor Terekhov reported that over 800 buildings lost heat after water had […]

Russia Warns of Military Response if US Deploys Weapons in Greenland

Russia has warned it could take military action if the United States moves forward with plans to deploy weapons systems in Greenland, escalating tensions between Washington and Moscow over Arctic security. Deputy Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov stated that Moscow would respond if the United States implements its proposed Golden Dome missile defense program on the Arctic island. Moscow Signals Possible Military Countermeasures Speaking to reporters at the Russian embassy in China, Ryabkov said any US military deployment in Greenland would trigger a direct response from Russia. His remarks were reported by Russia’s state news agency TASS. “If the Americans decide to move weapons systems into the region or deploy elements of their Golden Dome concept in Greenland, it would require military and technical compensatory measures, and our specialists will be ready to take them,” Ryabkov said. He emphasized that […]

Ukraine talks set for next week as deep freeze strains war‑battered power grid

Ukraine, Russia and the United States will hold a new round of talks in Abu Dhabi on February 4–5, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has confirmed, as diplomacy cautiously resumes nearly four years into the war. The meeting follows an initial round in late January that ended without a breakthrough on core issues such as territory, with Moscow still demanding that Kyiv cede additional land in eastern Ukraine, a condition Ukraine continues to reject. Zelenskiy said Kyiv is ready for “substantive” discussions that bring the country closer to what he called a “real and dignified” peace. The renewed talks come as a brutal cold snap exposes the weakness of Ukraine’s energy grid after repeated Russian strikes. In Kyiv, a major system failure on Saturday cut power to parts of the country and left almost 3,500 apartment blocks temporarily without heating, with about […]

Ukraine says deadly Russian strikes threaten US‑backed peace talks

Ukraine has accused Russia of undermining efforts to end their nearly four‑year war by launching fresh deadly attacks while Ukrainian, Russian and U.S. officials hold direct peace talks in Abu Dhabi. Overnight bombardments killed one person and injured 27 in Kyiv and Kharkiv, even as negotiators met for a second day to discuss the latest U.S.‑brokered proposals.​ Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga said President Vladimir Putin ordered a “brutal massive missile strike” on Ukraine while the delegations were meeting, accusing Moscow of hitting “not only our people, but also the negotiation table”. Ukraine’s chief negotiator Rustem Umerov said discussions in Abu Dhabi were focused on parameters for ending the war and the future logic of the negotiation process.​ The talks come after U.S. President Donald Trump met Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky at the World Economic Forum in Davos and U.S. envoy […]

Zelenskiy: Territorial issue on table at UAE trilateral talks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy says the vital question of territory in Ukraine’s war with Russia will be discussed at U.S.‑brokered trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi on Friday and Saturday. Kyiv faces growing pressure from Washington to strike a peace deal in the nearly four‑year conflict, while Moscow is demanding that Ukraine give up the entire eastern Donbas region before halting its offensive.​ Speaking in a WhatsApp media chat a day after what he and U.S. President Donald Trump described as positive talks, Zelenskiy said the status of Donbas would be a central focus of the UAE meeting. “The issue of Donbas is key,” he said, adding that the talks would examine how all three sides view the territorial question.​ An aide to Zelenskiy said discussions would start on Friday evening. A major sticking point remains Russian President Vladimir Putin’s demand […]

Trump’s Greenland climbdown eases tension but future still unclear

U.S. President Donald Trump has backed away from using tariffs or military force to push his controversial plan to acquire Greenland from Denmark, easing fears of a major transatlantic rift. After weeks of threats, he dropped the tariff idea and hinted that a preliminary agreement over the Arctic territory could be reached instead.​ Trump’s bid to gain control of Greenland, a Danish territory and key NATO outpost, had alarmed European allies who saw it as a direct challenge to an alliance that has underpinned Western security since World War Two. Following talks at the World Economic Forum in Davos with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Trump voiced optimism about a deal that would secure a U.S. missile defence site and access to critical minerals while countering Russian and Chinese influence in the Arctic.​ European stock markets steadied on the news, […]
