Anger is mounting over President Trump's comments about NATO troops' role in the Afghanistan war. Non-American veterans have demanded an apology, saying they fought alongside US soldiers on the front line. Also: the United States, Russia and Ukraine hold their first trilateral peace talks; the UN Human Rights Council approves an inquiry into Iran's protest crackdown; Alex Honnold postpones his controversial free solo skyscraper climb; and are you a grumbletonian -- consult the old dictionary of London slang.

Kyiv's mayor, Vitali Klitschko has urged people to leave the city if they have somewhere else to go while the freezing conditions last. We hear from a resident of Kharkhiv in eastern Ukraine after overnight strikes on the city.Also on the programme: Under a severe crackdown, Iran's protesters question if enough international pressure has come to bear on Tehran's government; and the dangers of keeping wild animals as pets.(Photo: Firefighters work at the site of an apartment building hit by a Russian drone strike, amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, in Kharkiv, Ukraine.

This week on Hold Your Fire!, Richard speaks with Crisis Group experts Richard Gowan, Olga Oliker and Steve Pomper about U.S. President Donald Trump's new Board of Peace and whether the transatlantic crisis over Greenland is over.In this episode of Hold Your Fire!, Richard speaks with Crisis Group experts, Richard Gowan, Olga Oliker and Steve Pomper and Richard Gowan to discuss the transatlantic strains over President Donald Trump's bid to acquire Greenland and his push to expand the mandate of his Board of Peace. He first speaks with Richard to discuss the Board of Peace–originally approved by the UN to oversee Gaza's administration and reconstruction, but now accompanied by a charter suggesting a wider global mandate and a potential challenge to the UN system. They discuss how the board is viewed at the UN and beyond, who is signing up, what it could deliver in Gaza and whether it may accelerate the erosion of traditional multilateral institutions. Richard then speaks with Olga and Steve about what a rupture in the transatlantic alliance would mean for Ukraine and European security more broadly, and how European leaders can manage their volatile relationship with Washington.

C dans l'air l'invité du vendredi 23 janvier 2026 avec Gérard Araud, ancien ambassadeur de France aux États-Unis et en Israël, auteur de "Leçons de diplomatie : La France face au monde qui vient"Entre coups de force et d'intimidation, Donald Trump continue d'occuper le devant de la scène médiatique. Il ne ménage pas ses adversaires et encore moins ses alliés, comme l'illustre l'actualité récente concernant le statut du Groenland, que le président américain avait dit vouloir annexer.Ukraine, Gaza, Venezuela... Autant de dossiers brulants dans lesquels Donald Trump veut s'impliquer pour imposer la paix, sur fond de tensions commerciales exacerbées par l'imposition tous azimuts de droits de douane comme moyen de pression, de recomposition géopolitique et d'une rivalité sans précédent avec la Chine. Alors quel rôle la diplomatie peut-elle jouer dans un tel contexte ?Gérard Araud, qui fut en poste à Washington lors du premier mandat de Trump, insiste sur son rôle essentiel et appelle au sursaut européen face aux nouveaux rapports de force et à la brutalité à l'oeuvre.

In the Czechia in 30 minutes weekend edition, former Czech NATO ambassador Jakub Landovský speaks candidly about Russia's war against Ukraine and Europe's response to it. Drawing on his experience inside NATO, he explains why strong words were not matched by clear strategy or resources. Landovský also reflects on the lessons of 1989 and the emotional forces behind political change. He outlines what he sees as the main security threats facing Czechia today. And despite growing global instability, he explains where he still finds reasons for cautious optimism.

A spokesman for Britain's prime minister, Keir Starmer, has said President Trump was wrong to diminish the role of NATO troops during the war in Afghanistan. There's been an angry backlash to the US president's claims that NATO allies avoided the frontline during the conflict. The Polish defence minister said the sacrifice of their troops should not be forgotten. The Dutch foreign minister described Mr Trump's comments as false. Roughly a third of coalition soldiers killed in Afghanistan were non- American.

ICE is continuing its Minnesota crackdown. This week, agents were reportedly targeting members of the public based on race. Now, state officials are asking federal judges to end the agency's campaign in their communities, despite the administration asking those same judges to let them keep going.The Department of Justice said in a recent court filing that Elon Musk's DOGE team may have accessed private and off-limits social security data.And the House Oversight Committee voted to hold Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress after the pair ignored a summons to appear before a panel, saying it was politically-motivated.And, in global news, President Donald Trump claims he has the framework of a deal in place with NATO for control of Greenland.Despite that possibility, the president heavily criticized European leaders in a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland this week.

I went back and watched Donald Trump's speech at Davos after the reaction to it spiraled into calls for the 25th Amendment. Having seen it in full, I have to say, that response struck me as pretty overstated. The speech was odd, repetitive, and occasionally sloppy, but it was also entirely familiar. Trump no longer has multiple registers. He speaks the same way at Davos that he does in Greensboro, North Carolina. Rally Trump is the only Trump left.Yes, he mixed up Greenland and Iceland, and that matters if you believe he is on the brink of ordering military action. But once the Greenland panic subsided and the White House quietly declared the issue settled, the speech reads less like evidence of incapacity and more like evidence of stagnation. Trump told the same tariff stories, did the same accents, and framed global politics through the same lens of personal deal making. That consistency may be unnerving, but it is not new. If anything, the Davos speech underscored how little adaptation Trump feels he needs to make, even on the world stage.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication.

Reporting that Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski are trying to force out CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott is not just palace intrigue. It exposes a deeper divide between political operatives and career enforcement officials.On one side are Stephen Miller's allies, filtering through Noem and Lewandowski, pushing for maximal optics and aggressive deportation numbers. On the other are figures like Tom Homan and Rodney Scott, who argue that certain tactics erode public trust and make enforcement harder, not easier. Homan's recent media blitz reflects that anxiety. He keeps stressing that deportations are happening, that priorities exist, and that blue state resistance is the real bottleneck. When enforcement professionals feel compelled to publicly justify their competence, it usually means politics has begun to overwhelm operations.Congress Moves, Barely, and Voters NoticeOn Capitol Hill, the House narrowly passed funding for the Department of Homeland Security, overcoming Democratic opposition tied to immigration enforcement concerns. It was not a clean win. Only seven Democrats supported the bill, and the compromises focused on oversight rather than substantive limits on ICE. Still, the broader takeaway is that Congress is moving more bills than expected for late January, even as shutdown deadlines loom.At the same time, new polling suggests Democrats are regaining momentum. An Emerson College survey shows Democrats leading Republicans by six points on the generic congressional ballot, alongside Trump's approval sitting well underwater. Six points is not a wave by itself, but it is the range where wave watching becomes justified. Voters are signaling frustration on affordability and foreign policy, and that dissatisfaction is beginning to register in the numbers. If that margin holds or grows, Republicans will not be able to dismiss it as noise.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:23 - Davos00:16:05 - Ryan McBeth on Venezuela00:43:29 - Update00:43:58 - DHS Infighting00:47:18 - DHS Funding00:48:28 - Midterms Polling00:50:13 - Ryan McBeth on Iran01:06:19 - Ryan McBeth on Russia-Ukraine01:14:44 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Sir Keir Starmer says President Trump's comments that NATO troops stayed 'a little off' the front lines in Afghanistan are 'insulting, and frankly appalling'. The US President told Fox News last night that he wasn't sure if NATO would be there for his country if required, and that America had 'never needed' its help. Also: Russia, Ukraine and the United States are holding their first tri-lateral talks, since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine four years ago. And, the pop star Robbie Williams has surpassed The Beatles to become the artist with the most number one albums in UK chart history.

In this episode of Mining Stock Daily, guest Tomasz Nadrowski, Portfolio Manager of Amvest Terraden Critical Materials Fund, joins the program to explore how critical minerals have transformed from a mere industry linchpin into a primary driver of global "mineral warfare." Nadrowski, the author of "Mineral War", explains how China has weaponized its production-focused economy to monopolize value chains, forcing Western nations to begin defending their strategic interests. The sources suggest that the minerals race is no longer decided by geology alone, but by complex processing pathways and the surrounding policy environments,. The discussion provides deep insights into the logistical hurdles of rebuilding Western supply chains, noting how a single mineral may cross the Pacific multiple times before becoming a finished product. The conversation further examines the "militarization of capital" and the increasing role of government intervention in directing strategic investment toward national security. Finally, the episode highlights the strategic importance and practical limitations of jurisdictions like Greenland and Ukraine in this era of intense geopolitical realignment.Find "Mineral War: China's Quest for Weapons of Mineral Destruction" HERE______TerraHutton empowers junior mining companies to secure investment with immersive, interactive, and visually striking storytelling.

President Donald Trump is laying out his plans for the future of Greenland, as he cancels threatened tariffs on European nations over its acquisition. The president also launched the “Board of Peace” in Davos amid tensions with Western allies—a new international organization aimed at overseeing the peace process between Israel and the Hamas terrorist group, while also addressing other global conflicts.Trump says he had a good meeting Thursday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The Ukrainian leader is now touting plans for the first trilateral meeting between the United States, Ukraine, and Russia since the start of the war.Former special counsel Jack Smith testified before Congress in a public setting for the first time. Lawmakers grilled the attorney who investigated Trump and whose work extended to probing members of Congress. Trump responded by saying he wants the Justice Department to act.

Emergency officials across the country are bracing for a major winter storm expected to bring heavy snow, ice, and dangerous cold to large portions of the U.S. More than a dozen states have already declared emergencies ahead of the storm's arrival.Delegations from the United States, Russia, and Ukraine held the first trilateral talks over the war in Ukraine. One of the major sticking points to reaching a peace deal is which country would control certain territory in Ukraine.In a post on Truth Social today, President Trump accused Canada of opposing his plan to build a missile defense system over Greenland. This comes as the Trump administration rolls out major policy shifts internationally and at home — from the newly created Board of Peace to canceling billions in Biden-era climate funding.

70% of Americans don't have a will. In this episode, Jermaine Ee shares personal stories behind why he created HeirLight, an app that organizes infomation for you to draft a legal document that represents what you want; how clarity is love, in practical form; and that life's neither about the journey nor the destination, but the company we keep. Jermaine is a founder and storyteller interested in three things: how we spend our time, the work we do, and what we leave behind. His career has zigzagged across ed‑tech, logistics, toys, political campaigns, executive search, and impact projects, but the through‑line has always been the same: helping people make better decisions about their money, careers, and futures. He's run financial aid workshops in low‑income high schools, built a startup to help kids confront their fear of math, and helps hire CEO, studying how talent shapes enduring companies. Through Rotary and other efforts, he has helped lead humanitarian projects from Los Angeles to Colombia, Mexico, and Ukraine, where he worked on refugee housing, medical transport, and frontline logistics. Today Jermaine spends most of his time on HeirLight, a simple & smart will maker designed to turn one of adulthood's most avoided tasks into a fast, modern, emotionally intelligent experience. Born in Los Angeles and raised between LA and Malaysia, he thinks a lot about belonging, identity, and the quiet instructions we leave behind for the people we love. With HeirLight, he's on a mission to help more families move from fear and procrastination to clarity and calm, starting with a 30‑minute guided conversation that ends with a legally binding will and a little more peace of mind.

Our first guest today is Josh Hammer, senior editor-at-large at Newsweek, host of The Josh Hammer Show, and author of Israel and Civilization: The Fate of the Jewish Nation and the Destiny of the West. Josh explores America's long-standing interest in Greenland, dating back to the Lincoln and Truman administrations. While Denmark maintains limited authority over the territory, NATO oversees much of Greenland's day-to-day security—and with the United States serving as the backbone of NATO, Josh explains how this history and reality help frame President Trump's interest in acquiring Greenland. Josh also weighs in on the war in Ukraine, examining possible timelines for its conclusion. He argues that it is in America's best interest for Ukraine to remain independent, and notes President Trump's consistent position that the priority must be reducing bloodshed while continuing to support Ukraine. Our second guest is John Trobough, a candidate for Arizona's First Congressional District. John is running for Congress because he believes our nation is at a crossroads, and Arizona has a unique opportunity to lead—but only if we elect leaders who genuinely care. As the epicenter of the next-generation economy, Arizona may not replace Silicon Valley, but it has the potential to become the "Silicon Desert." John joins us to discuss the rapid rise of artificial intelligence, why it's critical that we get ahead of it, and how we can ensure innovation and economic growth truly benefit Arizona's economy. Comedian and writer Lou Perez joins us to talk about his recent piece, "Police Bodycams: The Left's Biggest Self-Own." Lou explores the irony that police body cameras—originally demanded by anti-police activists—have ultimately done more to undermine that movement than anything else. He also discusses his book, "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore: On the Death and Rebirth of Comedy," where he examines how humor has been shaped by woke culture. Lou argues that for years, comedians trying to push back against Donald Trump often relied on the same recycled jokes, which ultimately opened the door for a new wave of comics willing to tackle topics others were afraid to touch.

Today, Morgan, Les, Matthew, and Jess discuss the latest diplomatic push around Ukraine, following a flurry of high-level meetings at Davos and beyond. President Trump and President Zelensky met for more than an hour as the World Economic Forum wrapped up, while Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff traveled to Russia to meet with Vladimir Putin. For the first time since the war began, American, Ukrainian, and Russian officials are now slated to meet face-to-face in Abu Dhabi to discuss military and security issues, raising questions about whether momentum toward a negotiated settlement is finally building.But are we actually any closer to peace? What would it take for Putin to seriously engage, given his repeated rejection of past proposals and the political risks he faces at home? Is Trump's increasingly tough rhetoric a signal of leverage, hinting at greater military support for Ukraine if diplomacy fails, or a strategy to give Putin a face-saving off-ramp? @morganlroach@lestermunson@WMattHayden@NotTVJessJonesLike what we're doing here?

Darrell Castle talks about President Trump’s speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos Switzerland presented earlier this week and the important issues surrounding the speech including Greenland, Iran, Gaza, Ukraine, and of course Minneapolis. Transcription / Notes TRUMP SPEAKS TO THE WEF Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 23rd day of January in the year of our Lord 2026. I will be talking about President Trump's speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos Switzerland which was given on Wednesday of this week. I will also talk about some of the important issues surrounding that speech including Greenland, Iran, Gaza, Ukraine, and of course Minneapolis. Yes, President Trump traveled to Davos this week accompanied by a large U.S. delegation including Secretary of State Marco Rubio. California Governor Gavin Newscom was in attendance although not part of the US delegation. He was quick to gather a news event to question everything the President said. So, the President spoke for over an hour to the richest, most powerful, most pompous and self-important people in this world. He used the occasion to sign the Board of Peace Charter, officially launching a new international organization tasked with overseeing the peace process between Israel and Hamas to end the war in Gaza. Trump said as he signed, “This Board is the chance to be one of the most consequential bodies ever created, and it's my enormous honor to serve as its chairman.” Founding members of the board were in attendance including Bahrain, Morocco, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Hungary, Indonesia, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Pakistan, Paraguay, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Mongolia and the United Arab Emirates. Missing was Bibi Netanyahu because he has an international warrant out for him and he would most likely have been arrested. Could the Board of Peace end up replacing the United Nations? President Trump seems to think so, “I wish the United Nations could do more. I wish we didn't need a Board of Peace. The UN just hasn't been very helpful. I'm a big fan of the UN's potential but it has never lived up to its potential.” Trump, despite his criticism, didn't call for the dissolution of the UN. I suppose he left that duty to me and I have been actively calling for its dissolution since about 1990 when I became associated with the Constitution Party. Many people agree with me but find it very difficult to say so. I supported Ron Paul's presidential campaigns partly because of his end the FED rhetoric and his criticism of international bodies such as the UN. I fear that the Board of Peace will become just another bureaucracy but we will see whether it can really achieve peace in Gaza. The proposal calls for Hamas to lay down its arms which it has publicly refused to do. Jared Kushner, the president's son-in-law presented a slide show detailing the architectural plans for the Gaza strip. I hope those plans include the Palestinians still alive but we will see. Perhaps they can find jobs in the fabulous hotels and resorts that are supposed to be built. In the meantime, the IDF has reportedly killed at least 466 Palestinians since the ceasefire started as well as 3 journalists one of whom worked for Bari Weiss the new head of news at CBS. When invited to speak at WEF Denmark announced that it would not be attending because of Trump's position on Greenland. Perhaps the Danes don't quite understand the art of the deal. He renounced any plans to acquire Greenland by force and worked out a deal with NATO to allow US use of Greenland and in return plans for tariffs on EU members were canceled. Trump believes, and it makes sense to me, that the US needs influence there as a hedge against long term adversaries in the Arctic like China and Russia, for example. He assured them that US acquisition of rights in Greenland was not only, not a threat to NATO but would greatly enhance the security of the alliance. He said the new agreement would involve the Danes with the Golden Dome, and mineral rights.  In case you don't know Golden Dome is a new missile defense system being built. Mark Rutte, the head of NATO, said after his meeting with Trump that the discussion about Greenland had changed. Now the discussion is about how the arctic region can be protected and secured. George Friedman is a geopolitical analyst of impeccable reputation and I have been a subscriber to his publication, Geopolitical Futures for many years. In regard to Greenland George said in his recent newsletter that he admitted for the first time he just could not explain or figure out something. He could not explain why Trump would place tariffs on NATO allies in order to acquire interest in Greenland. Now that Trump has lowered the temperature of the discussion the point may be moot but I think he does not have the same regard for the Europeans that many others have. In fact, I think this whole new Strategic Strategies Report that the administration just released is an announcement that the security agreement that has existed since World War ll has run its course and is now over. The US will consider its own hemisphere and its own defense first. In other words, this is all a continuation of the American Revolution which for 250 years has not been able to separate the American people from the European bankers. The bankers got their prize with the formation of the Federal Reserve which was formed to take control of the US financial system and keep the American people in debt slavery forever. The FED prints its own money and loans it to the US so it can be used to pay US interest on the debt that it has, thus 38 trillion debt and one trillion of interest. Take, for example, Mark Carney the Prime Minister of Canada. He is former governor of the Central Bank of England and former governor of the Central Bank of Canada and though in office, still associated with powerful banking and investment firms. That may be rambling a bit but it's still all very true. Trump went on in his speech with his usual carrot and stick approach. “Certain places in Europe are not even recognizable, frankly, anymore, they're not recognizable, and I love Europe, and I want to see Europe do good, but its not heading in the right direction.”  He mentioned his Scottish and German heritage and said the people of the United States care deeply about Europe. He used part of his time to tout what he called restoring the American dream. He mentioned his Executive Order to prevent Wall Street Corporations from buying single family homes thus driving up the cost of rent and making owning a home much more expensive. “Families live in homes, not corporations.” Well, amen to that quote Mr. President, that is exactly right. My approval of that action and the quote is not very libertarian but then I am not a libertarian. The US is not going to subsidize the whole world he told the assembled Davos men and women. Global tariffs were implemented to address the large trade deficits the US was experiencing adding that many countries were taking advantage of the United States. He went on to brag about the economic changes and success that he believes the US is experiencing. So, my conclusion is that he went to Davos to conclude a Greenland deal and to sign the Board of Peace agreement but mostly to explain himself to these people. Wars still rage in Ukraine, Gaza, and Iran. The one in Iran seems to be heating up again with the Ayatollah publicly admitting to over 5000 protesters killed. Many reporters from inside Iran report more than 10,000. The Ayatollah has taken a very hard line calling the uprising sedition and blaming the United States and Israel for it and threatening full scale war. Trump has ordered his military leaders to give him strike options that could be done so something is most likely coming. US strategic bombers have been seen over the Persian Gulf region. I said I would say a few words about Minneapolis so here they are. That city seems to be the tip of the iceberg that is the massive fraud being committed against the US government but mainly against the working, taxpaying Americans. If you work and a portion of your labor and money you need to feed your family is taken from you by the IRS apparently a good deal of that is used to feed the terrorists in Somalia and to line the pockets of politicians across America. The politicians look the other way and run interference for the fraudsters and they are then rewarded with millions of fraudulently acquired dollars. It seems that California, Illinois, Massachusetts, and others may even be bigger than Minnesota. You are certainly aware that ICE is in Minnesota trying to round up, arrest and deport illegal criminals but the politicians who have been receiving millions in bribes from the illegals have been protecting them and attacking ICE agents. I suppose they believe that if they scream loud enough we the people will join the criminals, but then who will pay the taxes. This disorder went so far as to involve an attack or at least a forced disruption of Sunday Services at a Baptist church called Cities Church in St. Paul. Yes former news reporter Don Lemon led the mob into the church and disrupted people who were worshiping God on a Sunday morning. Lemon gave a lot of sanctimonious words about how protest is protected by the 1st amendment. He is really attacking Christianity and trying to eliminate the right of Christians to worship freely which is sacrosanct in the 1st amendment. It seems that in Minnesota they really love and value sanctuary except when it involves places that actually are sanctuaries. Contrast my city of Memphis with Minneapolis and notice the difference. Memphis has now had two good mayors in a row and the difference is astounding. The mayor didn't want federal authority here but he said if it's coming let's cooperate and use it to benefit the city. The guard came to help with the street patrols so the MPD could do police work. ICE was here arresting illegal criminals as they found them. Two statistics illustrate the whole thing and the difference. Car left down 70% and murders down 44% and people can walk their own streets at least better than before criminals were allowed to take over our cities. Finally, folks, wither you hate Donald Trump or love him pray for peace. Our children will appreciate it. At least that's the way I see it, Until next time folks, This is Darrell Castle, Thanks for listening.

Forty-six states are under weather advisories, watches, or warnings, as a massive winter storm is expected to bring snow, ice, and extreme cold this weekend. The storm's footprint will stretch from the plains across the south and into the northeast, with North and South Carolina already declaring states of emergency. Weather experts are advising people to stay home and off the roads, and to be prepared for major travel disruptions.The United States, Ukraine, and Russia will meet on Nov. 23 in Abu Dhabi for tri-lateral security talks. President Donald Trump says Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy now appear open to ending the war, following separate high-level meetings. While the Kremlin called talks with U.S. negotiators substantive, Russia insists no lasting peace is possible without resolving territorial claims.TikTok's Chinese parent company, ByteDance, says it has finalized a move to avoid a ban in the United States, with a deal to create a majority "US-owned joint venture." U.S. data from TikTok's algorithm will be secured on Oracle's cloud system. American and global investors will own 80.1% of the venture, while ByteDance will retain the rest. Tech giant Oracle, private equity firm Silver Lake, and Abu Dhabi-based MGX will serve as managing investors, each holding a 15% stake.

En Ukraine, les campagnes de frappes russes sur les infrastructures énergétiques se poursuivent quotidiennement. Depuis le 10 octobre, pas une journée ne s'est passée sans que missiles ou drones ne se soient abattus sur des centrales énergétique ou thermiques, plongeant le pays dans le noir et dans le froid au cœur de l'hiver. La situation est particulièrement critique à Kiev. De notre correspondante à Kiev, Depuis 2022, des millions d'Ukrainiens se sont trouvés sous le danger constant des attaques aériennes russes. À Kiev, des raids de grande ampleur, combinant missiles et drones, se succédaient presque régulièrement, toutes les deux ou trois semaines. Cette année, la Russie est passée à la vitesse supérieure et semble vouloir plonger l'Ukraine dans un hiver sans fin : désormais, plus un seul jour ne se passe sans que les attaques se succèdent sur Kiev. Le but de ces frappes est clair : mettre à genoux la capitale et procéder à l'anéantissement total des capacités énergétiques de l'Ukraine. Alors que Moscou nie cibler les civils ukrainiens, ils sont pourtant, quotidiennement, les premières victimes de ces frappes : à Kiev, plus de trois millions de résidents se trouvent, en plein hiver, face à des pénuries prolongées d'électricité, d'eau et de chauffage. Le tout, alors que l'Ukraine est en proie à une vague de froid polaire, où les températures, qui ont avoisiné les -20°C ces deux dernières semaines, se stabilisent désormais à - 10°C. À lire aussiUkraine: en pleine vague de froid, des frappes russes plongent à nouveau Kiev dans le noir Devant l'ampleur des dégâts, et suite à une frappe dévastatrice sur les centrales énergétiques de la ville le 9 janvier dernier, le maire Vitali Klitschko a même enjoint ceux des habitants qui le pouvaient à quitter la ville. Deux semaines plus tard, il affirme que selon des estimations basées sur les bornages téléphoniques, près de 600 000 personnes ont quitté la capitale ukrainienne. Les quartiers populaires en première ligne Tous ne peuvent cependant pas quitter la ville, et pour une grande majorité de la population, il s'agit de survivre à la fois aux frappes et à leurs conséquences. Sur la rive gauche de la ville, où les quartiers populaires sont les plus affectés, les résidents des barres d'immeubles de grande hauteur sont particulièrement exposés : ils vivent tout près de centrales visées par les Russes, et leur approvisionnement en électricité, chauffage et eau est devenu plus qu'aléatoire. Oksana, une mère de famille explique : « La situation est très difficile, on se retrouve sans électricité pendant dix heures, vingt heures d'affilée. Et lorsqu'elle apparaît, c'est au milieu de la nuit, alors je me lève pour charger toutes nos batteries. Sans électricité, il n'y a pas d'eau non plus, et comme l'immeuble a plusieurs étages, elle n'arrive plus aux étages supérieurs ». L'immeuble en question a déjà été éventré par une frappe de drones, et les fenêtres des étages inférieurs ont été remplacées par des panneaux en bois. Pourtant, Oksana n'envisage pas de quitter Kiev : « Nous avons bien de la famille dans l'ouest, où nous nous étions réfugiés début 2022, mais mon mari est en situation de handicap et en attente d'une opération, je ne me vois donc pas partir maintenant. En plus, nous avons ici tous nos proches, dont mes parents, dans des immeubles voisins ». Tout comme Oksana, Valentina, une retraitée, tente de survivre malgré les conditions difficiles : « Dieu merci, une partie de l'immeuble est encore chauffée, et chez moi, je conserve mon manteau pour ne pas avoir froid ». Pour ceux des résidents qui restent dans la capitale, le quotidien s'organise autour de rares heures d'électricité pendant lesquelles il faut recharger ses appareils électriques et batteries, faire tourner une machine à laver, ou encore faire des provisions d'eau courante. Les nuits, au cours desquelles les frappes sont plus fréquentes, se passent dans le froid, dans des caves, parkings ou encore stations de métro, pour ceux qui ont encore l'énergie de s'abriter des bombes. Les « points d'invincibilité », îlots de chaleur dans une ville à l'arrêt Devant cette crise humanitaire qui s'accentue à mesure que la Russie continue de frapper Kiev, la ville a déployé une cinquantaine de générateurs mobiles. Dans certaines cours d'immeubles affectés, des milliers, qui sitôt reconnectés au réseau énergétique sont à nouveau plongés dans le froid et le noir après chaque nouvelle frappe, les secouristes ont mis en place de grandes tentes oranges qui constituent des « points d'invincibilité », des îlots énergétiques dans lesquels les habitants peuvent venir se réchauffer, travailler à distance ou bien encore passer la nuit si les conditions ne leur permettent plus de dormir chez eux. Ces îlots ne sont pas une nouveauté : depuis le début des raids aériens à l'hiver 2022, les bâtiments publics dotés de générateurs, administrations, restaurants, écoles, se sont constitués eux aussi « points d'invincibilité ». Dans le centre historique de la ville, en face de l'université Taras Shevchenko, une yourte installée par une association ukraino-kazakhe en 2023 a rouvert ses portes comme îlot de chaleur et d'électricité. Ici, Natacha, ukrainienne, reçoit ceux qui entrent avec un thé chaud et des pâtisseries kazakhes. Elle explique : « Les Kazakhes croient en notre victoire, et avec cette yourte ils nous apportent un peu d'amour et leur soutien. Ils ne peuvent pas nous fournir d'armes, mais ils montrent par d'autres gestes qu'ils sont nos côtés ». Pourtant, après plusieurs hivers où le pire avait été évité, nombre de ces « îlots » ne sont plus en mesure d'accueillir temporairement les résidents de la capitale. Dans le centre historique de la ville, berceau des administrations, ambassades et organisations internationales et jusqu'à cette année relativement épargné par les coupures d'électricité, la situation s'est fortement dégradée. Si les cafés et restaurants fonctionnent encore, en sous-régime, grâce à de petits générateurs diesels au bruit assourdissant et à la forte odeur de diesel, et souvent dans une semi-obscurité, des bâtiments publics répertoriés sur l'application municipale comme ouvertes en principe 24/7 pour servir de refuge de chaleur et d'électricité aux résidents, gardent porte close, comme le déplore Alla, concierge d'une école déserte : « Ici, il n'y a pas de chauffage, ni de connexion internet, ou d'électricité, et personne pour venir remplir le réservoir du générateur, alors on reste fermés ». Face à la crise, les écoles de Kyiv resteront d'ailleurs fermées pour les jours à venir : les vacances scolaires ont été prolongées jusqu'à début février, afin que les élèves puissent rester hors de la ville s'ils en ont la possibilité. À lire aussiUkraine: à Kiev, les écoles fermées jusqu'au 1er février après des frappes sur les infrastructures énergétiques Dans l'un de ses derniers communiqués, l'entreprise DTEK, premier fournisseur privé d'électricité, prévient ses usagers : « Les calendriers de coupures d'électricité ne sont pas valables actuellement : la grille énergétique de la ville fonctionne toujours en état d'urgence, il n'y a pas assez d'énergie. (...) Jamais une telle chose ne s'est produite à l'échelle mondiale. Depuis un mois, il n'y a pas eu un seul jour sans panne d'électricité, et nos ingénieurs ont la charge historique de nous remettre sur pied ». Du côté du gouvernement, Denys Shmyhal, nouveau Ministre de l'Énergie, promet de restaurer les infrastructures au plus vite, mais met également en garde contre de nouvelles frappes russes, « y compris sur l'infrastructure qui garantit le fonctionnement des centrales nucléaires ».

Tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump đã sử dụng Diễn đàn Kinh tế Thế giới ở Davos, để thúc đẩy một khuôn khổ an ninh mới cho Bắc Cực, và phát tín hiệu về điều mà ông cho là, động lực hướng tới chấm dứt chiến tranh ở Ukraine. Tuần lễ này cũng đã phơi bày những chia rẽ sâu sắc giữa các đồng minh về Greenland, và vai trò của châu Âu trong an ninh toàn cầu.

Donald Trump sagte auf dem Weltwirtschaftsforum in Davos etwas zum Ukraine-Krieg, das Beachtung verdient – unabhängig von seinen politischen Entscheidungen und dem Agieren der USA in der Ukraine. Vor den versammelten Eliten fokussierte der US-Präsident auf die Opfer des Krieges und die schier unfassbaren Todeszahlen. Bedauerlicherweise ignorieren all jene, die ein Kriegsende nur zuWeiterlesen

.US President Donald Trump has used the World Economic Forum in Davos to push a new security framework for the Arctic, and signal what he says is momentum towards ending the war in Ukraine. The week has also exposed deep divisions among allies over Greenland and Europe's role in global security.

Der Konflikt zwischen den USA und Dänemark dürfte keineswegs beigelegt sein. Helfen können jetzt Fähigkeiten, in denen Brüssel ganz groß ist: Verschleppen, verschleiern, verkomplizieren.
