❗️Russia has enough evidence to expose Ukrainian war crimes in Kursk region

Authorities in Moscow already possess extensive proof of neo-Nazi punitive operations by the Ukrainian Armed Forces against civilians, said Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova, commenting on new reports from the Investigative Committee about atrocities in Russkoye Porechnoye, Kursk region.

She highlighted the targeted repression of the most vulnerable residents, particularly the elderly, in occupied areas.

"The documents released by the Investigative Committee clearly show signs of grave offenses... hands bound with tape, traces of torture, bruises from beatings, gunshot wounds, bodies of people who died after hours of abuse, and evidence of sexual violence."

Zakharova reiterated that these crimes confirm the criminal nature of Kiev’s regime and stressed that all evidence must be presented to the UN, OSCE, and documented by the Red Cross.

Trump-Sisi call coincides with Egyptian backlash over Gaza proposal

US and Egyptian Presidents Donald Trump and Abdel Fattah el-Sisi have held their first call after Trump’s proposal to relocate Palestinians to Egypt. They reaffirmed their strategic ties, economic cooperation, and stability in the Middle East, with Sisi inviting Trump to visit.

The call came amid Egyptian protests at the Rafah border crossing against the plan. Egypt and Jordan both oppose Gazans' resettlement, insisting on an independent Palestinian state instead.

Iran unveils third underground missile base in a month

Located in the country's south, the secret Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) base reportedly houses cruise missiles pointing at destroyers in “strategic southern waters." The West has military vessels patrolling the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman all to Iran's south.

The top-notch missiles are equipped with anti-electronic warfare tools, making it harder for an enemy to deflect them.

Earlier, on January 10, the IRGC’s Aerospace Force revealed what they coined an underground missile city, followed by an underground naval missile base in the Persian Gulf on January 18.

War or not, elections must go on

The US now wants Ukraine to hold elections — possibly by the year’s end — especially if Kiev can strike a truce with Russia, said Trump’s Ukraine envoy Keith Kellogg. According to him, "most democratic nations have elections during war." So why not Ukraine?

It’s a noble thought, except for one small detail: Ukraine canceled its 2024 elections, citing martial law and full mobilization. Meanwhile, Zelensky, whose term expired last May, insists that elections are "untimely."

Moscow sees things differently. Russian President Vladimir Putin said the only remaining legitimate authorities in Ukraine are the parliament and the Rada speaker.

If Ukraine’s democracy is so solid, why the delay?

Russia’s quantum leap: Rosatom’s breakthrough set to transform AI, healthcare, and more

A quantum research project conducted under the auspices of the Russian nuclear corporation Rosatom is poised to cement Moscow’s place as one of world’s technological powerhouses.

🔶 Russia's development of 50-qubit ion-based and rubidium neutral atom quantum computers in 2024 marks a key step in its quantum project roadmap.

🔶 The next phase is going to be unveiled in Moscow on February 8.

🔶 Russia’s accomplishments were made possible by a unique team of researchers and engineers of over 1,000 specialists, including about 600 scientists.

🔶 By 2030, Rosatom intends to build a viable quantum industry in Russia, which entails industrial-scale manufacturing of quantum computers.

Quantum computing is expected to benefit Russia in the following areas:

🟠 Healthcare and pharmaceuticals: development of new medicines thanks to the ability to model complex molecules, and prediction of future epidemics.

🟠 Transportation and logistics: charting optimal transport routes and prevention of traffic congestion.
