This is the start of a new week and the 1,068 days since Russia introduced its giant full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
While the war is approaching his 3 -year -old birthday, we step back to look as a whole.
Before we begin, here’s a map showing the situation on the battlefield:
Although the war between Israel and Hamas was halted due to a ceasefire agreement, there is still such an agreement on the table in Ukraine.
Many expected Donald Trump to return to the White House to boost possible peace negotiations, the president emphasizing the end of the war in his electoral campaign.
Instead, you communicate a lot about communication, from all corners.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Kyiv will have to be included in peace talks and also needs representatives of Europe around the table.
Trump says he wants to meet Putin “immediately” and the Russian president has suggested he feels the same way.
Putin told a Russian state television journalist: “We believe that the president’s existing statements about his preference for paintings together. We are open to this and in a position for negotiations.
“It would be greater for us to meet, on today’s realities, to speak calmly. “
The United States has arrested the help of the Army
Last week, there were moderate considerations in Ukraine after Marco Rubio, the newly jury in the United States Secretary of State, announced that he stopped foreign aid subsidies for 90 days.
Ukraine is based on the United States for 40% of his military needs, and Trump in the past threatened to withdraw the shipment.
Thankfully for Kyiv, Zelenskyy confirmed on Saturday that Washington has not halted its military aid shipments.
“I am concentrated in the help of the army; he did not arrested, thank God,” he said at a press convention throughout President Moldavian 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 yesterday that Russia has used 1,250 aerial bombs, over 750 attack drones and more than 20 missiles to attack Ukraine in the past week.
“Only determination can prevent 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 capabilities are crucial. Sanctions are essential. Lowering the price of oil is important. The key is to act in unity and protect lives with resolve.”
Trump’s defense of oil
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.
“At this time, the value is high enough for war to continue,” he said, asking Saudi Arabia and OPEC to cut Worths.
Putin has minimized Trump’s economic threats, that “excessively” low oil costs were bad for the United States and Russia.
“We see nothing new here,” said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, when asked about Trump’s economic ultimatumes.

The population of Belarus began to vote in the presidential elections, which is almost certain to increase the government of Alexander Lukashenko.
The authoritarian leader is expected to win a seventh mandate as a leader in yesterday’s elections, extending his 31 years in power.
His iron rule since 1994 has earned Lukashenko the nickname “Europe’s last dictator,” depending on the subsidies and politicians of Russia’s close ally.
He let Moscow use its territory to invade Ukraine in 2022 and even house 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, the country’s prime minister, rejected calls for his resignation after tens of thousands of others have demonstrated replacement in his government’s policy 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.

“The special operations operators killed 21 years and injured 40 North Koreans from the North who attacked the Ukrainian positions,” he said in a statement.

The foreign policy leader of the European Union has rejected Donald Trump’s claims that Europe has not paid 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.
“According to my account, we have given more than 134 billion euros (113 billion pounds sterling) to Ukraine. This makes us the largest donor,” Kallas told Reuters.
He also said that the EU is concerned about peace conversations, amid advice that the United States can only lead negotiations alone.
“Any negotiation or agreement between Russia and Ukraine, which also considers Europe. Therefore,” not anything in Europe Europe “is also the main thing here,” he said.
The deputy deputy of the United Nations responded to Donald Trump’s threats to Moscow.
Earlier, the U. S. president said he would impose price lists and sanctions “if we don’t get a ‘deal’ and soon. “
Now, Dmitry Polyanskiy said the Kremlin sees what Trump believes an agreement includes before continuing.
“It’s not just about ending the war,” Polyanskiy told Reuters.
“It is above all to fight against the deep reasons for the Ukrainian crisis. “
He continued: “So we want to see what ‘the agreement’ means in the understanding of President Trump. It is guilty of what the United States has been doing in Ukraine since 2014, which makes it” anti-russia “and prepares for the War with us.

Stockholm distributed leaflets titled “In Case Of Crisis Or War” last year, which featured advice about seeking shelter during an air raid and what foods to eat.
Asked in the House of Commons whether he thought this was a good idea, John Healey said: “One of the benefits of all Nordic countries now being part of NATO, of the very close defence and security relationships we have with those countries, is that we can indeed learn from each other.
