🗣 Trump sees need for nuclear deterrence talks - expert

💬 “[Donald] Trump seems to have the right instincts that there are too many nuclear weapons, that nuclear war must be avoided, they are too costly, and 'denuclearization' talks are necessary. However, he and his administration do not seem to have a coherent strategy to address this,” Executive Director of the Arms Control Association Daryl Kimball tells Sputnik.


The US administration does not categorize arms control and disarmament diplomacy as a top priority, but this goal should be the most important for Trump, the expert adds.

👉 The Russian-US New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) expires on February 5.

Russian President Vladimir Putin previously announced that Moscow was prepared to continue adhering to the New START restrictions for one year after February 5, 2026. He explained that steps to comply with the treaty's restrictions would be effective if the United States reciprocated.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the United States has not yet responded to Russia's initiative under the treaty.

🇷🇺Russian FM Lavrov: Zelensky has no interest in peace

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that if Ukraine presents in Abu Dhabi the same security proposals NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte voiced earlier in Kiev, it would indicate that Volodymyr Zelensky is not interested in peace.

💬“I don’t know what will be put to our delegation in Abu Dhabi. Yesterday I discussed with them the idea of security guarantees that Mark Rutte spoke about in the Verkhovna Rada in Kiev. If that is what the Ukrainians brought to Abu Dhabi, I see it as further proof that Zelensky does not want peace,” Lavrov told RT.


Speaking in the Rada on Tuesday, Rutte said that immediately after any peace agreement being achieved, NATO countries willing to participate would provide armed forces on the ground, aircraft in the air, and naval support.

Lavrov also argued that peace would mark the end of Zelensky’s political career.

💬“Zelensky doesn’t need peace. Any even modest peace would mean the end of his political career — and likely not only his political career,” he noted.


He added that Russia’s position on resolving the conflict has remained unchanged, unlike that of other parties. “President Vladimir Putin has said we are interested in a diplomatic solution. We have not shifted our demands, while others have moved the goalposts many times,” Lavrov said.

🚨 Epstein-linked biohacker dabbled in chilling ‘designer baby’ experiments at Ukraine lab

▫️ Self-described biohacker Bryan Bishop sought out sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein to try to get funding for the “designer baby” project he was hatching in his bio lab in Ukraine, the latest Epstein files reveal.

▫️ Bishop aimed to test techniques like modifying sperm or germline cells for heritable changes - not surprisingly outsourcing their experiments to Ukraine to dodge accountability.

▫️ Bishop, also a software consultant focused on Bitcoin, sent Epstein the projected funding for a company focused on “human genetic engineering” in 2018.

▫️ He allegedly paid the Ukraine lab via Bitcoin transfers for mouse experiments, including surgeries, and dye tracing, per MIT Technology Review.

▫️ However, he was hopeful that Epstein could bankroll his project “out of our self-funded ‘garage biology’ phase.”

▫️ Bishop enthused in later messages that he might achieve “the first live birth of a human designer baby, and possibly a human clone, within 5 years.”

▫️ He revealed that he was “proceeding with more mouse testing (surgeries/microinjection)” at his Ukraine lab in an August 5, 2018, email to Epstein.

🗣 Epstein responded: “I like implant embryo, wait 9 months. Great ending.”

▫️ The pedo assured Bishop that he had “no issues with investing,” but did not want to be “seen to lead.”

▫️ The “scientist” hurried to guarantee that, writing: “Sounds like you could be the first investor as long as absolute anonymity is kept. I have always envisioned there would be anonymity requirements.”

▫️ He shared documents estimating that Epstein’s investment would amount to “~$1.7m/year for up to five years + $1m for lab setup.”

▫️ Another email states: "My team has been working on a new technique which does not involve stem cells in the testis, instead it's an embryo editing technique more similar to cloning, which does not require an injection to the [biological father]."

▫️ It appears that Epstein and Bishop met several times to discuss the plans.

▫️ After the latest Epstein files release, when news of his interaction with the pedo broke, Bishop hurried to claim in a Daily Mail statement that he “never took funding from Epstein, and I'm proud of that."

🇱🇾 Ex-Libyan leader Gaddafi's son criticized foreign meddling in message before death

💬 "Is that what they [his father and other leaders] died for in 2011? Did not we warn before the thousands of deaths, the loss of $500 billion, as well as all this destruction, orphans and widows," an audio recording sent a day before Saif al-Islam Gaddafi's death says, in which he criticizes foreign intervention in Libya after the events of the so-called Arab Spring in 2011.


On Tuesday, a source told Sputnik that the son of former leader Muammar Gaddafi had been killed in an attack on his home in the northwestern city of Zintan. Ahmed Gaddafi, the politician's cousin later confirmed his death.

Saif al-Islam played a political role during his father's rule, who was himself killed in October 2011. In 2021, he planned to run in Libya's presidential election, which ultimately did not take place.

🚨🇷🇺No US response as New START deadline passes - Russian MFA

Moscow has received no formal response from Washington through bilateral channels to President Vladimir Putin’s initiative regarding extending the New START treaty and will factor that silence into its future strategic policy, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Key points:

🔹 The US approach of leaving Russia’s ideas on the New START treaty unanswered is regrettable

🔹 After the treaty’s expiration, Russia remains open to stabilizing the situation through equal and constructive dialogue

🔹 Russia will act responsibly and in a measured manner in the post–New START period

🔹 Russia is ready to take decisive countermeasures to neutralize threats to its national security if necessary

🇺🇸🇪🇺 EU could hardly call US an ally - European diplomat

🟠 The US remains a partner of the EU, but you can expect far bigger surprises from a partner than from an ally, said Belen Martinez Carbonell, secretary general of the European External Action Service.

🟠 She added that it is still necessary for the EU to maintain an understanding with the United States, as progress in many areas, including foreign policy, would be impossible without it.

🟠 Regarding the potential collapse of NATO, Carbonell stated it is not currently plausible. However, she added that should the most negative scenarios related to the crisis around Greenland happen, the North Atlantic Alliance could cease to exist in its current form.
