Russian Federation hits Krivoy Rog with ballistics, casualties; Two oil depots burned in Russia. Athletistic highlights yesterday’s key events.
Russian aggressors attacked Krivoy Rog with ballistic missiles. Four people – three women and one man – died and nine were injured. An educational institution, four high-rise buildings, 17 private houses, and about ten vehicles were damaged. A fire broke out in one of the tall buildings. Commenting on the strike, President Zelensky emphasized that Russia will not stop on its own – it can only be stopped by general pressure.
On Saturday night in Russia, drones hit two more oil depots. On Friday night, it was reported that there was a drone attack and a fire at an oil depot in the city of Lyudinovo, Kaluga Region. Later, Russian Telegram channels wrote about a fire at the Rosrezerv oil depot in the city of Uzlovaya, Tula Region. It was also reported that there were strikes at a business near Dedilovo station near Uzlovaya. There was also a fire there.
President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky met with the leader of the opposition party Progressive Slovakia Michal Šimečko. Ukraine is ready to help Slovakia in energy, but it is important to hear signals from Bratislava about supporting Kyiv towards the EU and NATO, the president said. “I just want to send a signal that many in Slovakia value Ukraine And we want to be safe, sovereign, and live in the European Union. In his opinion, Ukraine should be part of the EU, because it will help the economy.
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, who previously declined Zelensky’s invitation to visit Kyiv instead of meeting on Slovak territory, invited the Ukrainian president to hold negotiations at the Davos summit. Without waiting for an answer, Fico complained to Olaf Scholz about Ukraine blocking Russian gas transit and about the “invitation of children to Kyiv.” In turn, Zelensky, in a commentary on Bloomberg, said that he cannot plan anything with Fico, because “he can go to Davos, but will end up somewhere in Sochi.”
After hours of consultation, the Israeli government voted for a cease-fire agreement in Gaza and the release of hostages. This is the final step in reaching a peace deal with Hamas. The agreement to end hostilities will take effect on Sunday.
Law enforcement officials, as part of the investigation into cases of illegal border crossing by military personnel, conducted more than 200 searches in 19 regions of Ukraine. We are talking about offenses involving fraud, forgery of documents, unauthorized interference in the operation of electronic registers and bribery of officials. Police promised to release details after the investigation is complete.
The European Union is considering options to avoid Hungary’s possible veto of extending sanctions against Russia. One way could be the Belgian World War II law, reports the Financial Times. We are talking about 190 billion euros in the Euroclear depository in Belgium. If the sanctions are not extended, this money “will go to Russia the next day.” If Orbán could not be persuaded to support the extension of sanctions, a 1944 royal decree would have allowed Belgian King Philip I to block the country’s transfer of fixed assets to Russia.
Russia is “concerned” about the possibility of deploying British military infrastructure in Ukraine as part of the 100-year partnership agreement, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. In particular, the Kremlin is concerned about future military cooperation between Ukraine and Great Britain in the Sea of Azov, which the Russian Federation considers Russia’s “internal sea”.
