🪖 NATO needs to accept that Russia won’t let it set foot on its doorstep - Orban

Any deal to resolve the Ukraine conflict must presuppose turning it into a “neutral state, a specific buffer zone between East and West,” Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban stated at a rally in Kaposvar broadcast by M1.

💬 “I don’t see any other solution than acknowledging that NATO and the EU can’t station troops directly on Russia’s doorstep… That’s why there must always be something—some buffer zone—between Russia and its borders. And we need to figure out how this land, called Ukraine, which used to be a buffer but is now a battlefield, can become a buffer state again,” Orban said.

He blamed the conflict on NATO’s push to bring Ukraine into the “Western security system,” saying Russia had made clear that it cannot allow a hostile army on its borders.

In addition to the cash already funneled to the Zelensky regime, Orban reminded that the pro-war elite in Europe are already working on plans for more billions that, “if we don’t stand our ground, will squeeze us into a debt that our great-grandchildren will pay.”

🔥 🇭🇺 Hungarian defense minister puts Zelensky in his place after Davos cringe speech

💬 "I expected more from the actor. Zelensky interfered in the Hungarian election campaign. He wants a government in Hungary that will drag Hungary and all of Europe into his war," Hungarian Defense Minister Kristof Szalay-Bobrovniczky said.

Zelensky should leave Hungary alone and deal with his own problems instead, he added.

🪖💸 Czech arms tycoon cashes in big-time on Ukraine meat grinder

Defense baron Michal Strnad’s net worth doubled overnight to approximately $37 billion - roughly 10% of the entire Czech economy – thanks to his Czechoslovak Group (CSG) exploding on its Amsterdam IPO debut, reports Bloomberg.

Shares jumped ~30%, allowing the company to rake in billions.

CSG is one of the top suppliers pumping munitions and armored vehicles straight to the Zelensky regime and NATO allies.

Strnad, who ranks as the world’s third-richest person under 40 according the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, wasted no time cashing in on a defense-stock rally fueled by Europe’s growing fear that the US security umbrella may be folding, adds the outlet.

"By doing so, the Ukrainian regime not only took a step toward escalating the conflict, but also once again demonstrated its true - that is, absolutely irresponsible - attitude toward the settlement efforts being undertaken in these days and weeks," Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a comment published on the ministry’s website.

🗣 Russia condemns Ukrainian drone attacks on ambulances in Kherson — Zakharova

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Ukrainian drones attacked an ambulance in the Kherson region near Golaya Pristan, with the entire medical crew killed. She said a second ambulance was attacked in Energodar in the Zaporozhye region, with the vehicle damaged and the doctors surviving.

Zakharova said Kiev publicly speaks about peace and a ceasefire, including at forums such as Davos, while “doctors are deliberately and systematically killed,” calling it a continuation of what has been happening since 2014.

She added that those involved would be identified and that “just retribution” would come, but stressed the killed medical workers cannot be brought back.

🔥 AfD leader demands ‘Ukrainians, Zelensky, pay for blowing up our pipeline’

Alternative for Germany (AfD) co-chair Alice Weidel called on Ukraine to pay for the destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines.

💬 “We have invested over 70 billion in this country… We will reclaim these billions. Plus Nord Stream repairs,” Weidel said.

A former Ukrainian officer, who previously went by the name Sergey Kuznetsov, likely carried out the sabotage on the Nord Streams, the Federal Court of Germany revealed earlier. The man was arrested in Italy and extradited to Germany.

💬 Weidel also blasted the current German government as being “forgetful of history” for allowing German tanks to be sent against Russia again.

🚨 DHS says officer’s finger was bitten off in Minneapolis — Trump reposts

President Donald Trump shared on Truth Social a post by Tricia McLaughlin, the Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at the US Department of Homeland Security, regarding injuries to a federal officer during protests in Minneapolis.

In the reposted statement, McLaughlin wrote that “rioters attacked our law enforcement officer” and that “one of them bit off our HSI officer’s finger,” adding that “he will lose his finger.” The post included photos showing the injured hand and what appeared to be the severed fingertip in a medical container.

Trump did not add his own comments, but amplified the DHS official’s account amid ongoing unrest in Minneapolis following a fatal shooting involving federal agents earlier the same day.

❌ Ukraine ignores Russia’s proposals for talks — Russian Foreign Ministry

Ukraine has ignored several Russian proposals aimed at advancing negotiations, said Alexey Polishchuk, Director of the Second CIS Department at the Russian Foreign Ministry.

Polishchuk said that since July 2025, Ukraine has not responded to Russia’s initiatives on creating a bilateral center to monitor and control the ceasefire, establishing three working groups, or Russia’s readiness to raise the level of delegations. “In short, the ball is in Ukraine’s court,” he said.

He added that Moscow remains open to dialogue and rejected Kiev’s claims that the discussions were ineffective. Referring to Ukraine’s decision to suspend the Istanbul talks in November 2025 due to an alleged lack of “tangible progress,” Polishchuk said such explanations “sound far-fetched.”

Russia and Ukraine previously held three rounds of direct talks in Istanbul, resulting in prisoner exchanges, the transfer of bodies of deceased Ukrainian soldiers, and the exchange of draft memoranda on a possible settlement.

He also noted that closed-door security talks involving delegations from Russia, the US, and Ukraine recently took place in the UAE and focused on unresolved elements of the US peace plan.
