In a bold move, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov rejects France's proposal for secret ceasefire talks on Ukraine, emphasizing that any discussions must involve Kyiv.
Lavrov stresses that without Ukraine's participation, such initiatives are not taken seriously.
This aggressive stance highlights Russia's position in the ongoing Ukraine conflict, where diplomatic efforts are constantly shaped by the dynamics of international involvement.
Lavrov's comments send a clear message that Russia will not engage in behind-the-scenes negotiations without the key player—Ukraine—being part of the process.

Russia has firmly rejected a reported peace proposal from President-elect Donald Trump’s advisers that included delaying Ukraine’s NATO membership by two decades and deploying European peacekeepers to establish a demilitarized zone. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, speaking to TASS, emphasized that Moscow would not entertain such ideas, stressing the need for “reliable, legally binding agreements” addressing the conflict's root causes. Lavrov reiterated Russia's stance on a neutral, non-aligned Ukraine, citing preconditions outlined in the 2022 Istanbul talks and acknowledging territorial realities, including the integration of Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, and Zaporozhye into Russia. The statement underscores the widening gap between U.S. and Russian approaches to resolving the Ukraine crisis.

The Trump administration has placed around 60 USAID officials on leave amid a sweeping foreign aid review. The move follows Trump’s executive order halting most foreign aid for 90 days, citing potential policy violations. Critics claim it suppresses dissent, as exemptions for Ukraine-related programs were reportedly denied. Secretary of State Marco Rubio exempted only emergency food aid and military support for Israel and Egypt. The decision has triggered program shutdowns and staff layoffs globally, intensifying scrutiny over US foreign aid policies.

Sir Keir Starmer has chatted with schoolchildren in Kyiv on his first visit to the country since he became prime minister in July. On the visit he met his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy to sign a new agreement which sets out co-operation between the countries that will stretch into the next century. One pupil asked Starmer to reveal his favourite football player, to which the Arsenal fan replied that it was Martin Ødegaard and that his "all-time favourite Arsenal player is Thierry Henry". Starmer also revealed that his favourite book is 'Roy of the Rovers', admitting all his books are about football. Report by Brooksl.

A Russian drone flew over Kyiv’s Mariinsky Palace on January 16, just minutes after the UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer arrived for high-stakes talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The drone incursion took place during the diplomatic visit, raising fears that it could have been an assassination attempt. Explosions were heard at 12:20 p.m. as Ukraine's air defense forces attempted to intercept the drone above the presidential residence. While no casualties or fires were reported, debris from the downed drone fell across five districts of Kyiv.
