Friday's protest against Fico's controversial Russia stance comes after his meeting with Putin in Moscow last month, as well as amid his threat to cut aid to Ukrainian refugees living in Slovakia.
In a dramatic escalation of the ongoing conflict, Ukraine allegedly launched a massive drone attack on the Russian-controlled Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant on January 5. According to Russia’s Ministry of Defense, eight drones targeted the facility, aiming to cause significant industrial and environmental damage.Russian air defenses intercepted all the drones, with one reportedly exploding on a building’s roof, sparking a minor fire that was quickly contained. No casualties or operational disruptions were reported.

In a major setback for Ukraine, Russian forces have successfully repelled a large-scale counterattack in the Kursk Region, inflicting heavy losses on Kiev’s troops.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has endorsed Slovakia as a neutral venue for potential peace talks to resolve the Ukraine conflict. In a significant divergence from other EU nations, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has maintained a stance against supplying arms to Ukraine, positioning Slovakia as a possible mediator. Meanwhile, Putin remains firm on the “territorial realities” that Ukraine must accept, including the loss of key regions. As the world speculates on the future of negotiations, can Slovakia bring both sides to the table, or is this move another strategic play by Moscow?

In a rare and intense tank-on-tank battle near Pokrovsk, Donetsk People's Republic, Russian forces clashed with Ukrainian armored units, resulting in one Ukrainian tank being destroyed. The confrontation occurred as part of a Russian convoy advancing towards a wooded area on the outskirts of the village. The battle escalated quickly as both sides fired at each other, missing initially, but a Russian tank landed several direct hits on the leading Ukrainian tank, causing it to catch fire and become inoperative. The second Ukrainian tank retreated but was later hunted down and destroyed by FPV kamikaze drones. This dramatic video showcases the rare occurrence of direct tank combat amidst the heavy use of drones, marking a rare but significant escalation in tank warfare in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.
