Glory to Ukraine!

Glory to the inhabitants of Ukraine and all modern civilization!

News from the USA. The main thing by the end of the week. Saturday, January 24, 2026 Today in the issue:.

On the negotiations in Abu Dhabi and the “peace process”. Details of the negotiations are still unknown. From the fact that no agreements were reached other than an agreement to continue negotiations and hold a new round next week, it rather follows that the Russian side is using the old and well-known Soviet negotiating tactics - meet, discuss something, put forward its demands, wait until the other side's negotiating team discusses these demands with its leadership, then meet again, discuss something again, insist on its previous demands or put forward new ones, depending on the circumstances. So the USSR negotiated for years with the United States in Geneva on the reduction and limitation of nuclear weapons. For example, negotiations on the SALT II treaty took place over seven years, from 1972 to 1979.. Negotiations on the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Elimination Treaty have been ongoing for three years.. Negotiations on ending Soviet aggression in Afghanistan and the withdrawal of Soviet troops from there took place for almost four years. Therefore, Russia has a huge experience of stalling for time, putting forward various demands, and disagreeing with the conditions of the other side..

Russia's real position is barbaric missile and drone terrorist attacks on residential buildings in Kyiv, Kharkov, other Ukrainian cities and on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. Russia’s real position is to freeze Ukraine, take it in the cold, force it to capitulate.

There is, however, one characteristic point that distinguishes the negotiations in Abu Dhabi from the negotiations between the Soviet and American delegations in the 70s and 80s. Then negotiations on both sides were conducted by professional diplomats. Now, on all three sides of the negotiations, it seems that one professional diplomat took part in them - Sergei Kislitsa, and even then he now works in the Office of the President of Ukraine, and not in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who occupy the strange positions of “friend of the president” and “son-in-law of the president,” are the de facto collective US Secretary of State, since it is they, and not the official Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who represent the US in the most significant international negotiations. All three delegations included high-ranking military and intelligence officials.

Does this mean that mainly military issues were discussed But the military does not decide anything on its own – neither in the USA, nor in Ukraine, nor in Russia.

One thing is clear. As was clear long before the negotiations in Abu Dhabi. Putin will agree to suspend the war only if he sees that he has serious problems in the economy, which lead to the inability to have enough resources to continue the war and at the same time maintain social standards that guarantee him peace within the country and the inviolability of his power. But he will never give up his goal - the destruction of Ukraine and the restoration of the Russian empire.

There are 1091 days left until the end of the story called “Fear: Trump in the White House” (c) (the title of the book by Bob Woodward, published in 2018).

Thanks to everyone who read. Take care of yourself and your loved ones. Take care of each other, help each other. Health to everyone.

Ultimately, what happens in the world depends on us.

Whether we fight evil, do Good, remain simply observers, wait passively and believe that someone somewhere will decide something for us, or fight evil and do everything possible so that Good wins.

We must not allow evil to win.. The victory of evil will mean the end of the world we live in. We cannot allow this. Especially now.

Ukrainian Friends, I hug and love you so much. Take care of one another, I beg you.

Ukraine is and will forever be.

And evil will be overcome and punished. І tse immediately.
