⚡Russia’s budget revenue rose to a record high last month even after the US targeted the banking sector with a new round of sanctions aimed at disrupting foreign trade payments and curbing proceeds from exports. Total revenue in December reached more than 4 trillion rubles ($40 billion), up by 28% compared with the same month of the previous year, according to Bloomberg calculations based on Finance Ministry data published late Tuesday. That’s the highest level recorded in ministry data that starts from January 2011. 1 Like 1 Share

⚡Ukraine has detained its army's chief psychiatrist for alleged "illegal enrichment" charges related to earnings of more than $1m (£813,000) accrued since the start of Russia's invasion in February 2022. In a statement, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) said the man sat on a commission deciding whether individuals were fit for military service. The SBU statement did not name him - however, a man called Oleh Druz was previously identified as the Ukrainian Armed Forces' chief psychiatrist. The SBU said he owned three apartments in or near Kyiv, one in Odesa, two plots of land and several BMW luxury cars, and investigators searching his home also found $152,000 (£124,000) and €34,000 in cash. https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/640/cpsprodpb/399c/live/7bb41b70-d802-11ef-9e32-2bf3892fd707.jpg |

⚡German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock on Tuesday criticised Donald Trump’s “unacceptable” pledge to seize the Panama Canal, which the returning US president repeated in his inaugural address. Baerbock was asked in an interview about Trump’s comments Monday on the waterway and on his desire to control Greenland, an autonomous territory of NATO ally Denmark. “Any threat against a NATO member or other states is of course completely unacceptable,” Baerbock told German broadcaster RBB. Baerbock however said that Germany needed to “play it smart”, when responding to the president’s statements. “It’s not about how President Trump says something… but we should look at why he says something,” Baerbock said. The focus should be on “what interests are behind (Trump’s statements)… and then standing up for our own interests”, she said. |

⚡‘We don’t want to be Americans’, Greenland PM says. Greenland’s prime minister said Tuesday the Danish autonomous territory wanted to stake out its own future and did not want to become American, following US President Donald Trump’s renewed remarks about taking control of the island. Trump, who took office on Monday, set off alarm bells in early January by refusing to rule out military intervention to bring the Panama Canal and Greenland under US control. While Trump didn’t mention Greenland in his inauguration speech on Monday, he was asked about it by reporters in the Oval Office afterwards. “Greenland is a wonderful place, we need it for international security,” Trump responded. “I’m sure that Denmark will come along — it’s costing them a lot of money to maintain it, to keep it,” he added. But Greenlandic and Danish officials on Tuesday defended the Arctic island’s right to self-determination. “We are Greenlanders. We don’t want to be Americans. We don’t want to be Danish either. Greenland’s future will be decided by Greenland,” Prime Minister Mute Egede told a press conference. “Our country and our people will decide what happens to Greenland,” he said. 3 Likes 1 Share |

⚡Panamanian President José Mulino issued a statement on the Panama Canal: "There is no country in the world that interferes with our government. The Canal was not a concession from anyone. It was the result of a generational struggle that culminated in 1999 with the Torrijos-Carter Treaty, and since then and to this day we have responsibly managed and expanded it to serve the world and its trade." 2 Likes

⚡Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Tuesday encouraged Poles living in the United States to return to Poland, pledging to facilitate the move a day after US President Donald Trump took office. Trump has promised to crack down on illegal border crossings and vowed to deport “millions and millions” of undocumented migrants as he was sworn in. The government in Warsaw estimates nearly 10 million Americans declared having Polish roots in 2012, making up Poland’s biggest diaspora abroad. Tusk said Tuesday he had instructed Polish consulates to prepare for the possible consequences of the new US administration’s decisions affecting Poles “residing in the United States with different statuses and with different levels of legality”. Around 50,000 undocumented Polish people lived in the United States in 2016, according to the estimates of Poland’s Gazeta Wyborcza daily. “Every Polish man and every Polish woman will be warmly welcomed here at home,” Tusk told reporters in Warsaw, adding that in Poland “everyone can find their own America”. “I have also asked the relevant services to facilitate the return, if necessary, of all those interested in coming back to Poland,” Tusk said. |

⚡Slovak Opposition Is "Preparing for a Maidan" — Fico "I cannot name names or circumstances, but I can say with complete seriousness that the Slovak opposition is preparing for a Maidan. The Slovak opposition is preparing to occupy government buildings, disrupt the work of the government, and cooperate with foreign forces," the Slovak Prime Minister stated at a press conference with Orbán. Earlier, Slovak counterintelligence announced preparations for an operation to destabilize Slovakia. It is worth noting that the Slovak opposition visited Kiev last week, where they met with Zelensky. This occurred on the same day Zelensky had invited Fico to Kiev, an invitation he declined. Following this, Zelensky expressed support for the Slovak opposition in his evening address. 1 Like |

⚡Zelensky Drives a Wedge Between Europe and the U.S. "When we look at the United States in Europe as our allies, we understand that they are an indispensable partner. During the war, we all worry whether the United States will stay with us. All allies worry about this. But does anyone in the United States worry that Europe might abandon them one day? That it might stop being their ally? The answer to that question is no. Washington does not believe that Europe can offer them anything truly significant. I recall last year’s Shangri-La Summit. There, representatives of the U.S. delegation openly and candidly stated that their top priority is the Pacific region, the second is the South, and Europe comes third." https://static01.nyt.com/images/2024/01/17/multimedia/17db-zelensky-vhgt/17db-zelensky-vhgt-mobileMasterAt3x.jpg 1 Like |

⚡Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday vowed a strong response if Donald Trump slaps 25 percent tariffs on Canadian imports, which the US president signaled could come as early as February. “Canada will respond and everything is on the table,” Trudeau told a news conference, adding that Ottawa’s reaction would be “robust and rapid and measured,” but also match dollar for dollar the US tariffs. |
