It’s the start of a new week and the 1,068th day since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
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 has come to a halt due to a ceasefire agreement, there is no such agreement on the table in Ukraine.
Many expected Donald Trump to return to the White House to accelerate the possible peace conversations, with the president emphasizing that finishing the war in his electoral campaign.
Instead, he communicates a lot about communication, from all corners.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Kyiv must be included in peace talks and that he wants representatives from Europe around the table also.
Trump says he met with Putin “immediately” and that the Russian president informed him he felt the same way.
Putin told a Russian state television reporter: “We believe that the president’s existing statements about his willingness to paint together. We are open to this and in a position for negotiations.
“It would be for us to know, based on today’s realities, talk calmly. “
The United States has arrested the help of the Army
Last week, there were considerations in Ukraine after Marco Rubio, the newly jury in the US Secretary of State, announced that he interrupted foreign aid subsidies for 90 days.
Ukraine relies on the US for 40% of its military needs, and Trump has previously threatened to pull the support being sent.
Fortunately for Kyiv, Zelenskyy showed on Saturday that Washington had halted its army aid shipments.
“I focus on the help of the army; he didn’t arrest, thank God,” he said at a press convention along Moldovan President Maia Sandu.
Zelenskyy specified whether humanitarian aid had been interrupted.
Russia drops ‘thousands’ of explosives
In the context of international relationships 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 last 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 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 in the World Economic Forum in Davos on Thursday night on Thursday night to attract the Hard OPEC oil poster to reduce costs as a Moscow wallet.
“Currently, the value is important enough for war to continue,” he said, calling Saudi Arabia and OPEP to Worths.
Putin minimized Trump’s economic threats, that low oil costs “excessively” were bad for the United States and Russia.
“We are not seeing anything new here,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said when asked about Trump’s economic ultimatums.
In another part of Thearray . .
People in Belarus have started to vote in the presidential election, which is all but certain to extend the rule of Alexander Lukashenko.
The authoritarian leader wins a seventh term as leader in yesterday’s election, 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 his 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, the country’s prime minister, rejected the calls for his resignation after tens of thousands of other people demonstrated the replacement of the policy of his government in Russia.
On Friday, around 60,000 people protested in the capital, Bratislava, and around 100,000 proved to be demonstrations in the country’s cities.
Here are some of the pieces on Ukraine from Sky correspondents and editors this month:
Thank you for following our canopy from the war in Ukraine today.

The Special Forces of Ukraine claimed to have killed 21 infantry soldiers of North Korea and wounded more scores after eight hours in the Russian region of Kursk.

The European Union’s foreign policy chief has rejected Donald Trump’s accusations that Europe has not paid Ukraine its fair share.
Trump said the United States has hired Ukraine more than in Europe, however, Kaja Kallas said Europe is the largest contribution.
“By my account, we have given more than €134bn (£113bn) to Ukraine. That makes us the biggest international 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 United Nations deputy responded to Donald Trump’s threats to Moscow.
Previously, the US president said he would impose costs and sanctions “if we conclude an” agreement “and soon. “
Now, Dmitry Polyanskiy said the Kremlin sees what Trump believes an agreement includes before continuing.
“It’s just about ending the war,” Polyanskiy told Reuters.
“It’s first and foremost the question of addressing root causes of 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.

The Invasion of Russia of Ukraine preceded the worst crisis of the cost of living of the United Kingdom since the 1970s: its own economy is one of the most difficult to affect through inflation.

These photographs come to us from Kiev, where the art exhibition has been opened.
The “Altar of Freedom” exhibition sees Orthodox icons painted on armored plates that prevented bullets from hitting Ukrainian Russia.
Also, through the Secretary of Defence now, who said that the UK can be informed of field classes like Sweden after it has expressed to its other people on how to prepare for war.
Stockholm distributed brochures entitled “On the occasion of a crisis or war” last year, which presented recommendation on the search for shelters an air raid and what foods to eat.
Questioned in the House of Commons if he idea is an intelligent idea, John Healey said: “One of the benefits of all Nordic countries that is now a component of NATO’s relations, very narrow defense and security with those with those countries, in fact we can be informed from the other.
“I think there are certainly some lessons for us in the UK as we consider the future and we consider a rising level and complexity of threats that we may face in the years ahead.”
