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 […]

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 […]

Trump says Putin agreed to pause Kyiv strikes during extreme cold

United States President Donald Trump says Russian leader Vladimir Putin has agreed to his personal request to pause missile strikes on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities during an extreme cold spell. Russia’s recent attacks on Ukraine’s power infrastructure have left millions facing blackouts, heating shortages and water cuts as temperatures plunge, creating a new humanitarian emergency across the country. Trump told a cabinet meeting that he asked Putin not to fire on Kyiv and surrounding towns for a week because of the “extraordinary” cold. He claimed Putin accepted the request, describing the response as “very nice” and saying people had warned him the call would be a waste of time. Trump did not say exactly when the conversation took place or when the pause in strikes would begin. The Kremlin has not confirmed any such truce. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, […]

Sabalenka storms into Australian Open final after dominant win over Svitolina

World number one Aryna Sabalenka powered into her fourth consecutive Australian Open final with a dominant 6 2, 6 3 win over Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina in a politically charged semi final in Melbourne. The Belarusian, chasing a third Melbourne crown, denied 12th seed Svitolina the chance to become the first Ukrainian woman to reach a Grand Slam singles final in the Open era. Like other Ukrainian players, Svitolina has maintained a policy of not shaking hands with opponents from Russia or Belarus because of the war in Ukraine. Before the match at Rod Laver Arena, an announcement informed fans there would be no handshake and a message on the big screen asked them to respect that decision. The two players also kept a noticeable distance during the pre match formalities and photographs. Both women entered the semi final in red […]

About 1,700 apartment blocks and public buildings in Kyiv remain without heating two days after a major Russian missile strike hit the Ukrainian capital’s energy system, Mayor Vitali Klitschko has said.

Russia hits Ukraine with Oreshnik missile

Russia has used its Oreshnik ballistic missile in a large overnight attack on Ukraine, killing at least four people and injuring 25 in Kyiv, as explosions echoed across the capital for several hours on Thursday night. The strikes lit up the sky and caused widespread damage to homes and infrastructure. This was only the second confirmed use of the Oreshnik, a weapon first deployed in November 2024 against the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro. Moscow said the latest barrage was retaliation for an alleged Ukrainian drone attack on President Vladimir Putin’s residence in late December, a claim Ukraine has denied and which Western officials have questioned. Although Russia did not specify the exact target of the Oreshnik missile, social media footage late Thursday showed multiple blasts near the western city of Lviv. Ukrainian authorities later confirmed that a ballistic missile […]
