The United States doesn't need Greenland for its natural resources, Donald Trump insisted this week, but for national security reasons. Exaggerating the presence of Russian and Chinese ships to the point of absurdity—ships whose Arctic trade routes don't pass through Greenland—Trump sought to emphasize the danger of infiltration, control, or even capture of the world's largest island if the United States doesn't intervene. And although the US president boasted of his good relationship with Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, insisting that he doesn't expect any further attacks against Ukraine or an invasion of Taiwan, respectively, the supposed threat posed by these two powers is useful in suggesting that NATO is incapable of protecting the territory and in insisting that Denmark must sell it to the United States. "I don't want China or Russia as neighbors," he declared publicly, forgetting that, in the Bering Strait, Greenland is already a neighbor of Russia. That was precisely one of the key messages of the Alaska summit. Despite Trump's rhetoric, three strongly interrelated aspects—the territory's strategic military position, its proximity to future Arctic trade routes, and its natural wealth—form the basis for Donald Trump's interest in Greenland, an idea that, according to John Bolton, was presented to him by Ronald Lauder. Heir to the Estée Lauder cosmetics fortune, the billionaire, a friend of Donald Trump since their university days, is a recurring figure in the worlds of business, politics, and even diplomacy.
In its report on the awarding of the first major contract for the exploitation of Ukrainian natural resources under the minerals agreement signed last year by Scott Bessent and Yulia Svyrydonova to a consortium led by Ronald Lauder, The New York Times notes that, according to John Bolton, it was Bolton who convinced Donald Trump of Greenland's importance. Having recently stepped down from the Estée Lauder board, the billionaire is poised to become a model for other American companies in Ukraine in the exploitation of lithium, a key mineral in battery production. Raw materials—primarily confirmed reserves of rare earth elements, uranium, and iron, in addition to potential oil and gas deposits—were the initial reasons for the Trump administration's interest in Greenland, although Lauder's aim was not to acquire ownership, but rather the right to exploit the territory. In other words, to do in that region under Danish control what his consortium will be able to do in Ukraine.
Determined to acquire Greenland, according to a 2022 New York Times article , Lauder “offered himself as an unofficial negotiator to buy Greenland from Denmark, according to a new book. Denmark said no.” Politics, diplomacy, interference in other countries, and the idea of acting as a backchannel , an unofficial mediator, were new to Lauder, a veteran of the Atlanticist and Zionist cause who, during the Reagan years, used the revolving door between big business and government to become Under Secretary of Defense for European and NATO policy and ambassador to Austria, an important neutral country in Europe during the final years of the Cold War. The positions Lauder has held throughout his political career and his ideological stances have never been accidental and have always aligned with the hardline wing of the American right, both in Atlanticist politics and in the post-Cold War capitalist expansion in Eastern Europe, as well as in his leadership of the World Jewish Congress, a Zionist group close to Netanyahu's party. As his photograph with Jolani demonstrates, Lauder also acted as a mediator between Syria and Israel in the normalization of relations with the new Syrian jihadist government.
His position as president of the World Jewish Congress and the connections afforded by leading a global organization are two of the key aspects Peter Korotaev highlights in his blog post, Events in Ukraine, to detail Lauder's long career in Eastern Europe, including Ukraine. As an article published by The New York Times explained just days before the Oval Office meeting nearly derailed the minerals agreement negotiations, Lauder was one of the key figures in the idea's emergence. The campaign was launched after politically connected US investors began showing interest in Ukraine's underground wealth in late 2023, despite the war that had been raging since 2022. According to a letter addressed to Zelensky and reviewed by The New York Times , a consortium formed by TechMet, an energy investment company partly owned by the US government, and Ronald S. Lauder, a wealthy friend of Trump, committed to Kyiv to submit a bid for a Ukrainian lithium deposit. Pending final confirmation, Lauder and TechMet have secured the contract to exploit the lithium, the result of a mineral extraction agreement born from their vision of sharing Ukrainian wealth for the benefit of the United States. But their presence in Ukraine has not historically been limited to mineral extraction; it has focused on the media ecosystem, an aspect that Western countries considered fundamental in imposing their narrative and consolidating capitalist restoration and the Euro-Atlantic turn. The Western powers wished to consolidate their power in Ukraine.
Interestingly, the channel acquired by Lauder is none other than 1+1 , which would later become the television network with which Volodymyr Zelensky and his studio, Kvartal 95, would collaborate—a breeding ground for a significant portion of the current Ukrainian government. Lauder's acquisition came at the initiative of Alexander Rodnyasky, the man who, in 2022, would organize, along with Roman Abramovich, the Russia-Ukraine negotiations in Istanbul that nearly resulted in a peace agreement. “At the invitation of 1+1’s original owner, the aforementioned Ukrainian businessman Aleksandr Rodnyansky (who spent most of the 2000s and 2010s in Russia), Lauder’s Central European Media Enterprises (CME) acquired 30% of 1+1 . Lauder paid $22 million for that 30% stake. In 2008, Lauder’s CME purchased the remaining shares of 1+1 for $220 million,” explains Peter Korotaev.
“He came to us himself. CME was founded in 1993 by two former US ambassadors: Ronald Lauder to Austria and Mark Palmer to Hungary. The idea of creating private, independent television companies in Central and Eastern European countries was a natural one. Palmer was the ideological driving force behind the process. The billionaire Lauder was able to invest in the project. Highly successful television channels were established in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Romania, Poland, and Hungary. The Americans were also eyeing Ukraine with interest. In 1995, representatives from CME came here. Six months later, they contacted us. A year later, we “married.” As of January 1, 1997, 1+1 became a fully-fledged television network,” Rodnyatsky explained about the beginnings of the channel considered the first modern, Western-style channel. It seems no coincidence that the network was owned by a company founded by two former US ambassadors.
With Rodnyatsky's help, Zelensky and his production company began working for 1+1, where the series that propelled him to the presidency would air, a few years after the American billionaire made his investment worthwhile by selling the channel to another old acquaintance, Ihor Kolomoisky, the man who arranged a meeting for Lauder with then-President Yushchenko. Like a true diplomat behind the scenes, Lauder hasn't limited his contacts, and there are also photos of him meeting with Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin as part of a delegation from Jewish organizations.
“In short, Lauder is an operator with a long track record in very sensitive areas. The news that he will take over a Ukrainian oil field will likely have diplomatic implications that extend far beyond Ukraine. Perhaps Trump hopes to use Lauder’s Ukrainian connections to establish relationships with Ukrainian businessmen who have Russian connections, and with the Russian businessmen themselves?” comments Peter Korotaev. Profit and political influence tend to go hand in hand, so it wouldn’t be surprising if the connections Lauder has cultivated over the years proved useful in reshaping the Ukraine of the future, one more closely linked to the international oligarchy and at the service of big capital in the NATO countries where the businessman regularly acts as an intermediary.

Russia will solve problems by military means
January 13, 10:50
From statements by Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN, Nebenzya:
Russia will resolve problems through military means
1. Russia will resolve problems militarily until Zelenskyy comes to his senses and agrees to realistic negotiating terms.
2. Negotiating conditions for Kyiv will worsen every day; every cowardly attack on Russian civilians will be met with a harsh response.
3. Russia does not shell civilians. The West ignores Kyiv's targeted strikes on civilian targets and the civilian population;
4. In December 2025 alone, at least 367 civilians were injured in strikes by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, 56 people died;
5. We never cease to be amazed by the silent reaction of the international community, primarily the UN Secretary-General, which has become the norm;
6. Failure to clearly qualify such actions as terrorist acts and blaming them on unconfirmed facts means abandoning the basic principles of international humanitarian law, including the protection of civilians and the prohibition of deliberate strikes against civilian targets;
7. However, as soon as Russia deploys its armed forces against the Ukrainian Armed Forces and its infrastructure, a storm of emotions immediately erupts, followed by a clear statement from the Secretary-General and his press secretary.
International law is dead, so the role of the UN is now insignificant.
Conditions for Ukraine will naturally worsen, with each subsequent proposal being worse than the last.
Since Ukraine's losses are unimportant to the West, the war will be dragged out as long as possible.

Brief Frontline Report – January 12th, 2026
Summary by Marat Khairullin and Mikhail Popov.
Jan 12, 2026
Zaporozhye Direction; The blue lines divided by blue dashes: anti-tank ditches. The yellow line with dashes and dots: Line of Combat Contact December 27th, 2025.
Zaporozhye Direction (Zaporozhye-Pokrovskoe-Orekhov)
Message from the Russian Ministry of Defense: "As a result of decisive actions by units of the 'Dnepr' Group, the settlement of Novoboykovskoe in Zaporozhye Oblast has been liberated."
Russian Armed Forces are conducting active operations on both flanks of the Zaporozhye direction.
On January 11, the settlement of Belogore on the direction's right flank was liberated. On January 12, an advance northeast from the settlement of Lukyanovskoe resulted in the liberation of the settlement of Novoboykovskoe (47°37′54″ N, 35°28′38″ E, population 34 in 2001). This small rural settlement is located on a tactically advantageous area. It is equidistant from two key Ukrainian defensive strongholds in this sector—the settlements of Magdalinovka and Novoyakovlevka (two kilometers to each). The Magdalinovka-Novoyakovlevka line covers a road junction that supplies the enemy's Orekhov grouping: highway C081306 Novoboykovskoe - Kamyshevakha, road O-081342 Novoboykovskoe - Novoyakovlevka - Yurkovka, and the dirt road Novoboykovskoe - Magdalinovka - Grigorovka.
The direction of the subsequent advance of Russian units—toward the settlement of Magdalinovka or Novoyakovlevka—will depend on the operational plan of the "Dnepr" grouping's command and the enemy's actions along this line.
An advance on Magdalinovka would mean control over the Pererva ravine and an approach to the settlement of Primorskoe from the northeast.
An advance toward the settlement of Novoyakovlevka would mean reaching the O-081342 highway in the direction of Yurkovka and outflanking the Ukrainian defensive positions in the area of the Shirokaya and Norovskaya ravines, which are currently holding back the advance of Russian assault groups from the Malye Shcherbaki - Shcherbaki line. Furthermore, movement in this direction, with a subsequent push toward Yurkovka, offers the possibility of establishing fire control over the radial highway H-08—the main supply route for the enemy grouping in the city of Orekhov—and creating a deep encirclement of the Orekhov defensive area.
An advance in the direction of the settlement of Kamyshevakha is also possible. However, extending a narrow breakthrough line deep into the Ukrainian positional area is unlikely without first securing the flanks and establishing a firm hold along the Magdalinovka-Novoyakovlevka line.

How Trump's friend made Zelensky president
Lithium, Chabadniks, television, politics and geopolitics.
Events in Ukraine
Jan 12, 2026
A most interesting headline appeared in the NYT on January 8. A multi-billionaire by the name Ronald Lauder has gained control of an important Ukrainian lithium deposit. But there is so much missing in this story.
The article describes Lauder as a Trump insider, and paints the deal as a reluctant Ukrainian concession to please the fickle Don.
What the NYT leaves out is that Lauder has a very long history with Ukraine and Zelensky, one dating far back into the 1990s.
Indeed, it was Lauder’s investments that created 1+1, the highly influential Ukrainian television channel that Zelensky’s comedy studio worked with throughout the 2000s and 2010s.
One could even say that it was 1+1 that launched Zelensky to the presidency in 2019 — Ukrainians were already used to seeing Zelensky play the president, so why not elect him as well? The 2015 advertisement below reads ‘Servant of the People: the story of the next president’.
Life imitates art. Or does life imitate Lauder? If not for Lauder’s investments, 1+1 would have never existed. And Zelensky would not be president.
The relationship between Lauder and Ukraine is so deep and fruitful that this news of Lauder’s return to the country may signal the realization of that most coveted Ukrainian goal: Israelization. What this means is that the US, anchored by economic ties with Ukraine, would militarily support it indefinitely. In return for providing investment opportunities, the Ukrainian government would be free to be as dictatorial as it likes. Trump will then forget about calling for elections.
I say ‘Israelization’ partly because Lauder is one of the world’s most prominent Zionists. Besides, Zelensky enjoys the term as a description of Ukraine’s ideal future.
The ‘White Fuhrer’ of Ukraine’s fascist Azov movement also hopes that Ukraine will look like Israel in future. As does the new head of his presidential administration, lifelong covert operator Kyryllo Budanov. Ukrainian government officials often refer to the ‘Israeli model’.
Of course, this arrangement of minerals for weapons looks less like Israelization, and more like, say, Congolization, or Indonesization.
Ronald S. Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress
“When someone says they are not anti-Jewish, they are only anti-Israel, that is a lie” - Lauder, 2016, at an event where he was awarded the Guardian of Zion award at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem.
Whatever the best analogy, Zelensky may be right that he faces better chances with Trump than Biden. After all, the Democrats sometimes made a fuss about guaranteeing the rights of various pesky NGOs, and Democrat-leaning media were very displeased in July 2025, when Zelensky tried to shut down the anti-corruption organs set up by the Democratic party back in 2015.
Trump didn’t say a word about it. And why would he — it was these very anti-corruption organs that played a major role in instigating Russiagate in 2016. Zelensky was probably hoping that attacking the anti-corruption organs would leave Trump indifferent, or even admiring.
Granting minerals concessions to Washington also fits into this logic. Zelensky hopes that will no longer need to worry about the trappings of democracy as long as he pleases Trump.
And back in May 2025, Ukraine signed its famous ‘minerals deal’ with Washington. Though the details remain rather obscure, the overall contours are fairly clear: the US gets something like monopoly control over Ukrainian resources, and in return, Ukraine gets more military aid. Of course, the latter clause is less guaranteed than the former, but regardless.
But perhaps the latter clause will be fulfilled. After all, just as Trump is looking increasingly antagonistic towards Russia, the Ron Lauder lithium deal appears.
And the Lauder deal does seem to herald some important changes in Ukraine’s mineral sector — on January 7, Ukraine’s cabinet dismissed Oleg Hotsynets, the acting Head of the State Geological and Mineral Resources Service. Perhaps Lauder has a better replacement. Hotsynets was dismissed by prime minister Yuliya Sviridenko, the woman who signed the mineral deal with Washington back in May 2025.
Speaking of raw materials, the most rational explanation I’ve heard for Trump’s fixation on Venezuelan oil also has to do with the crusade against Russia. Gaining control of Venezuelan reserves wouldn’t be good for American producers, but it could lower global oil prices, thereby damaging the Russian budget.
And even more importantly than any possible effect on global oil prices, simply increasing global supply would make it easier for countries such as India to stop buying Russian oil. This fits in quite well with Trump’s apparent newly-found support — right after the Caracas operation — for massive secondary sanctions on countries buying Russian oil.
Lauder
Now, onto the chosen intermediary for Ukraine’s Israelization, or Congolization, or whatever it is — Ron Lauder.
He was the man who first told Trump he should take over Greenland back in 2019. Besides that, Lauder has invested many millions in Trump PACs since 2016. The two have apparently been friends since college.
We’ll soon get into Lauder’s decades-long presence in Ukraine. But besides eastern Europe, Lauder has been an important diplomatic representative and backchannel for the US across the world.
Lauder’s became head of the international department of the Estée Lauder Company in 1964. In 1984, this morphed into becoming Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for European and NATO policy at the United States Department of Defense.
In 1986, Reagan appointed Lauder US ambassador to Austria — a crucial country due to its neutrality, crawling with spooks of all kinds in the cold war.
Reagan's 1980 'Prelude to Victory' Party
Lauder and Reagan, 1980
I’d add that it would be ideal for Ukraine it it were to become a neutral country like Austria, trading with both the west and east. Lauder is unlikely to succeed in doing so, if he even wants to, though he is probably more open to such an idea than the Biden administration. After all, Lauder has deep business ties in both Ukraine and Russia.
Lauder, an outspoken Zionist, has also always supported Israel’s rightwing Likud party. In 1998, Netanyahu asked Lauder to engage Syrian leader Hafez Al-Assad in informal diplomacy. Lauder played a major role in Israeli-Syrian relations, coming up with the draft ‘Treaty of Peace Between Israel and Syria’ that was important in the (fruitless) 2000 negotiations between the countries in the US state of Virginia.
Despite his old age, Lauder continues to conduct backchannel diplomacy. In September 2025, he met with Syrian leader Ahmed Al-Sharaa in New York. The Jerusalem Post wrote that the two discussed how to overcome stalled Syrian-Israeli negotiations.
In short, Lauder is a lifelong operator in very sensitive areas. The news that he is to take charge of a Ukrainian deposit probably has diplomatic implications ranging beyond Ukraine. Perhaps Trump may hope to use Lauder’s Ukrainian connections to build relationships with Ukrainian businessmen possessing Russian connections, and with Russian businessmen themselves?
Lauder already boasts excellent connections with Russia. In 2016, he even met with Putin directly.
It was Lauder’s decades-old Ukrainian-Russian business partner, Aleksandr Rodnyansky, who organized the ill-fated March 2022 Russia-Ukraine negotiations along with Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich. Years since, Ukraine and Russia have still never come so close to signing a deal.
Rodnyansky
Now, let’s take a closer look at Ron Lauder and his many relationships with key figures in Ukraine — and Russia. The depth of Lauder’s closeness to Zelensky may indicate that the sitting Ukrainian president still has many years of rule left in him.
After all, his old boss is not just back in town, but is also very close with the US president!
Lauder and Ukraine
Lauder’s involvement with Ukraine started in the late 1990s, when he became one of the co-founders of the media group that the young comedian Zelensky would soon work for, 1+1. By 2019, 1+1 would make Zelensky president.
No wonder Lauder was so interested in Eastern European and Israeli media assets in the 90s and 2000s. Media is an excellent asset for a globe-trotting backchannel diplomat like Lauder. The story of Lauder’s connections in Ukraine involves a dizzying array of the country’s most powerful men, men straddling every geopolitical divide imaginable, every shade on the NATO-Kremlin spectrum.
In short, it’s no wonder that Trump’s man in Ukraine is Ronald Lauder.
It all started in 1997.

Fighting in the Zaporizhzhia region
January 12, 2026
Rybar
Heavy fighting continues in the Zaporizhzhia area amid attempts by Russian units to advance on the western flank.
The Russian Ministry of Defense announced the liberation of the village of Novobaykovskoye , and had previously also announced the liberation of Lukyanivske, on the outskirts of the village. Without objective verification, this raises certain doubts: at the time of the announcement, Lukyanivske had not been consolidated.
Evidence of a counterattack by Ukrainian forces on Russian positions near road O-080205 has emerged from the Stepnogorsk area . This confirms earlier reports of a minor advance by Russian forces north of the city.
The situation along the entire western flank of the front remains complex. A significant portion of Primorskoye is a "gray zone" with no clear front line or stable control.
There have been no significant changes in the central sector. The enemy retains control of Novodanilovka and most of Malaya Tokmachka , while Belogorye remains largely in the gray zone, largely due to its lowland location.
Despite the ambiguity of recent liberation announcements, at least a localized intensification of offensive operations is evident. However, an assault on Orekhovo is unlikely anytime soon—the Ukrainian Armed Forces have managed to hold the villages on the approaches, and logistics have yet to be cut off. This is likely the purpose of the advance northwest from Stepnogorsk .

What is known about the new Geranium?
The evolution of Russian attack UAVs continues: footage of the wreckage of a new drone, which appears in enemy reports as the "Geran-5," has appeared online .
It is designed according to a normal aerodynamic scheme and is equipped with an improved version of the Telefly jet engine, which was already found in the Geranium-3.
Ukrainian Armed Forces documents mention the possibility of equipping drones with air-to-air missiles. These have previously been installed on Geran-2 systems, and according to some reports, they have already shot down enemy helicopters.
The new drone is equipped with a 12-channel Kometa satellite navigation module and a Raspberry Pi -based tracker . It can also be controlled using 3G and 4G signals over a mobile network, a feature already implemented on other drones.
Despite all the external differences, the new UAV is largely unified with other types of Geraniums, which facilitates the expansion of production and has a positive impact on the price of the product.
The emergence of the Geranium-5 demonstrates an active search for ways to expand strike capabilities in the context of constant competition between “shield and sword,” taking into account the economics of production and other factors.
Given the potential to carry a more powerful warhead over a range of almost 1,000 km at greater speed and a lower probability of interception by drones and MTFs, mass production of the Geranium-5 will create many new problems for the enemy, especially when used with other devices in the series.

The Lviv region "met" the Oreshnik missile system
Kyiv AND ODESSA WERE BURNING.
Dr. Ignacy Nowopolski
Jan 13, 2026
Odesa learned of the "fifth" round of the Geran missile system, over 200 kamikaze drones of all types, nearly 15 ballistic missiles, and dozens of cruise missiles fell on the Ukrainian capital. On the night of January 12th, the situation repeated itself – drone operators and aircraft, it seems, received crucial information. In many Ukrainian cities, ambulance trains are barely able to deliver the wounded and NATO's "two hundredth" tourists to helicopter landing sites. Thermal power plants were completely destroyed. NATO supplies disappeared. An F-16 was destroyed in a carefully planned operation. Putin made a brutal decision.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, on January 12, operational-tactical aircraft, unmanned airborne vehicles, missiles, and artillery struck energy and transport infrastructure used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, military airfields, a production and storage facility for long-range unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as temporary deployment points for the Ukrainian Armed Forces and foreign mercenaries in 157 regions.
Kyiv reported only 156 kamikaze drones (of which it "naturally shot down" 135). However, judging by objective surveillance footage, the drones were significantly more numerous, and the missiles flew in swarms. Furthermore, Ukrainian air defenses were virtually powerless to cope with the situation, as Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko firmly stated, urging people to leave the city immediately.
Meanwhile, the former boxer claims that heating has already been restored to most homes. Kyiv residents disagree – the temperature in their apartments doesn't exceed 9 degrees Celsius, yet they take to the streets, blocking roads, and demanding that Zelensky address the problem.
New day – new blow
Thermal power plants No. 5 and No. 6 have not yet been repaired after last week's ballistic missile attack, said Serhiy Nagornyak, a member of the Verkhovna Rada's Committee on Energy and Housing and Municipal Public Affairs. Protective structures were unable to protect the facilities.
As a result, at least two power plants have ceased operations. Restoring them, even without new arrivals (unlikely), is now virtually impossible – almost all energy production in central and southern Ukraine is currently in a critical and emergency state, and attempts to restore power have met with repeated failures.
Odessa, Kharkov, Sumy – everything was burning
For the second day in a row, Kyiv is complaining about Russian drones and missiles flying into Vinnytsia and Zhytomyr. Judging by the density of attacks, the targets are extremely high-value and well-defended.
Drones actively attacked the Kharkiv region, targeting military and energy infrastructure. Geran drones attacked military targets near Pecheneg and Chugiev. The goal was to destroy Ukrainian Armed Forces positions, warehouses, and command posts preparing for combat operations northward.
Several drones struck hangars in Zolochiv, where artillery pieces and heavy equipment were hidden. At first glance, it appeared to be an ordinary agricultural complex, but from a military perspective, it was a base under the cover of civilian infrastructure, Lebedev reported, citing the local underground.
Further drones attacked a railway station near the village of Mayak, located on the site of a former brick factory. Equipment and personnel were unloaded here, and supplies were being delivered to the front and preparations for offensive operations were being made. A well-balanced attack on this facility disrupts Ukraine's logistics, limiting its ability to concentrate forces.
Unmanned aerial vehicles struck the town of Great Burluk. After hitting their targets, a fire broke out at the site, and secondary explosions were heard, confirming the presence of ammunition or equipment depots.
A power outage continues in the Odessa region. On the northern outskirts of Odessa, approximately 11 drones attacked the 300 kV Usatove transformer station. Eight of them hit their targets, and three were shot down by air defense systems.
The targets included transformer stations, transformers, and high-voltage lines—key infrastructure nodes in the city that provide power to industrial, military, and logistical systems. The failure of this transformer station limits Ukraine's ability to quickly respond to military operations and poses a challenge to hidden warehouses and command posts in the region.
A large military facility northwest of Odessa, near the Moldovan border, was struck. The coordinates and nature of the attack suggest military warehouses, communications points, and hidden bases of Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance groups. Importantly, this area is strategically linked to the logistics of supplying Odessa and controlling the southern front. Due to frequent, massive airstrikes in recent days, NATO supplies to Ukraine have been temporarily disrupted.
The unmanned aerial vehicles struck targets north of Chornomorsk. These included equipment assembly areas, ammunition stockpiles, and temporary command posts used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to cover the coast and prepare for sabotage operations.

At the plant, aircraft of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, including F-16 and MiG-29 aircraft supplied by the Western countries, were repaired and maintained. The plant also produced long-range and medium-range attack UAVs used to hit Russian civilian facilities in the depth of Russian territory.
The talk is about a special representative who will conduct a dialogue with Russia on behalf of the European Union on the Ukrainian conflict. The initiative is being promoted by Macron and Italian Prime Minister Meloni, calling for opening communication channels with Moscow amid the stagnation of negotiations mediated by the US.
