Rafael Grossi, the general director of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), announced on Tuesday that the Chernobyl nuclear power plant has completely lost its external power supply. He conveyed that facilities “vital for nuclear safety” were hit, adding that the power lines leading to other plants were also damaged, notes Moscow Times. We remind you that in February 2025, Ukraine reported a Russian drone attack on the outer isolation vessel of the power plant. At the end of December, the IAEA stated that the isolation structure had already lost its key radiation isolation functions. On January 17, the Main…

Washington and Kiev will not sign an 800 billion dollar agreement on the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine at the World Economic Forum in Davos, as previously planned, a Ukrainian source told Axios. According to the source, the Presidents of the USA and Ukraine, Donald Trump and Volodimir Zelenski, were supposed to sign the document, but the meeting between the two leaders, where the signing was supposed to take place, was cancelled. At the same time, an American source told the publication that no dates for the signing of the agreement had been set, and the plan itself still requires refinements.…

For the third year in a row, the Russian Government continues to sell gold from the National Welfare Fund (NWF) to cover the federal budget deficit, to finance state banks, and to support national mega-projects. According to data published by the Ministry of Finance, between 2022 and 2025, the amount of gold in the NWF’s balance sheet has decreased by 71%. On January 1, 2026, the fund only held 160.2 tons of gold in non-personalized accounts at the Central Bank, compared to 554.9 tons in May 2022. In 2023, the fund’s gold reserves decreased by 196 tons (approximately 35%), and…

The European People’s Party (EPP) group, the largest in the European Parliament, confirmed the suspension of discussions…

Donald Trump reportedly plans to propose to Europeans at the World Economic Forum in Davos a 99-year lease contract for Greenland, or granting a preferential status to the island’s inhabitants, similar to that of Puerto Rico, according to sources cited by Kyiv Post. This would mean that Greenlanders would become American citizens with full bilateral access and trade privileges. They would be exempt from US income tax, except in cases where they move to the mainland – an idea that marketing consultants say could be sold as a prosperity package for the island’s approximately 56,000 inhabitants. The US President has…

The President of Bulgaria, Rumen Radev, announced on Monday evening, in a televised speech addressed to the nation, that he will resign from office to officially enter the electoral race. The decision comes after weeks of speculation about his intention to launch a political project, namely to establish his own party. “I will resign from the position of President of the Republic of Bulgaria. I am convinced that Vice President Iliana Yotova will be a worthy head of state. We are facing a decisive battle for the future of our country. We are prepared, we can and we will succeed,”…

Vladimir Putin does not see the war in Ukraine as an endgame, but as a stage. Even in the event of a peace agreement, Western analysts consulted by The Sun warn that the Kremlin leader might use the break to regroup, rebuild his military capacity, and strike again – perhaps even directly at NATO’s flank. One name constantly returns in expert analyses: Narva, a small Estonian town on the border with Russia, with a predominantly Russian-speaking population and an extremely sensitive strategic position. “There are all the signs that Putin considers 2026 as his moment,” says Tim Wilsey, a former…

The organizers of the meeting confirmed to the quoted source the absence of the delegation from Copenhagen, emphasizing that the invitation was sent, but participation remains at the discretion of each government, reports News.ro. “The representatives of the Danish government were invited this year, and any decision regarding participation is the responsibility of the government in question.

Minsk received a personal letter from the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, addressed to the President of the Republic of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, according to a statement by the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Belarus, Ruslan Varanov, reports Al Jazeera. In the message, Trump proposes the establishment of a “Council for Peace”, a new international organization intended to contribute to the resolution of conflict situations, including the crisis in Gaza. In the official statement it is specified: “The American side sees Belarus – and this is directly mentioned in the text of the…

At first glance, the sisters from the St. Elizabeth Monastery seemed the picture of innocence. Around Christmas, they were selling icons, crafts, and souvenirs to the faithful in Swedish churches, without arousing suspicion. Even in Täby, a prosperous suburb near Stockholm, their presence raised no questions: the rector had personally given them permission to set up their tables in the church hall. However, in a Europe confronted with Russia’s hybrid war, appearances can be deceiving. As the Church of Sweden would later warn, the women presented as “nuns” were, in fact, representatives of a controversial monastery in Belarus, known for…
