Republicans have criticized the Administration of US President Joe Biden for not providing enough aid to Ukraine. They also demand decisive action from him.

The Republican victory plan includes providing Ukraine with critical weapons, tightening sanctions against the Putin regime and transferring $300 billion in frozen Russian sovereign assets to Ukraine.
The Cabinet of Ministers met unscheduled on January 11 and withdrew bill No. 10378 on improving mobilization, military registration and military service.

In the evening, the Ministry of Defense announced that they have prepared a new version of the bill, taking into account all the proposals agreed upon by the representatives, and they are ready to submit it for government approval in the near future.
Estonia will provide aid to Ukraine worth 1.2 billion euros by 2027. Estonian President Alar Karis said this at a joint press conference with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky in Tallinn. The Estonian leader emphasized that “there should be no restrictions on weapons transferred to Ukraine.” After lunch, Zelensky visited Latvia, where he met with President Edgars Rinkevics. The leader of Latvia said that his country has prepared a new package of military aid for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It includes different types of weapons and projectiles. The Ukrainian military will receive howitzers, ammunition, anti-tank weapons, missiles, grenades, helicopters, as well as communication devices and generators. In addition, Latvia, as the country that led the Ramstein Drone Coalition, will assist Ukraine in the production of drones.
Men of military age should be in Ukraine and help it. President Vladimir Zelensky said this at a press conference with the Prime Minister of Estonia. The President emphasized that if the men are not at the front, they are working, and he respects such Ukrainians. “If you work and pay taxes, you also protect the state. And this is very necessary. But if you are abroad and you are of conscription age and you are not at the front, and do not pay taxes, and traveled to outside the law, then there are questions… Without military money, there is no military. Nobody will defend Ukraine,” Zelensky said.
The property of the family and controlled companies of one of the largest suppliers of the Ministry of Defense, Lviv businessman Igor Grinkevich, who was suspected of bribing a DBI investigator, were seized.

At the same time, the press secretary of the prime minister denied the truth of the information disclosure.
Ukrainian investigators have obtained the first preliminary evidence that Russia may have used North Korean-made missiles in the January 2 Kharkov shelling. This was announced by Prosecutor General Andrei Kostin. According to him, the results of a preliminary scientific and technical analysis confirm that the missile fired in the central part of Kharkov on January 2 was a short-range missile developed by North Korea.
The European Commission believes that the EU will be able to produce one million bullets for Ukraine before the spring of this year, despite the fact that the process has slowed down.
