"⚡️⚡️The Russian oil refinery and a number of other enemy facilities have been hit

⚡️On the night of January 26, units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces struck the infrastructure of the "Slavyansk Eco" oil refinery (Slavyansk-on-Kuban, Krasnodar Krai, Russia).

The annual possible processing volume of this enterprise is over 4 million tons of oil. This plant is part of Russia's energy sector and is involved in supplying the aggressor's armed forces.

🔥Strikes by attack drones on the plant's territory and explosions in the target area have been recorded. According to preliminary information, elements of the primary oil processing installation have been hit.

The scale of the damage caused is being clarified.

⚡️Also, the logistics warehouses of the invaders' units in the temporarily occupied territories of the Donetsk (Donetsk city) and Zaporizhia (Solodkovodne village) regions have been hit.

⚡️In addition, in order to weaken the enemy's offensive capabilities, strikes have been carried out on the drone control point of a unit in the area of Velika Novosilka (in the temporarily occupied territories of the Donetsk region) and on enemy troop concentrations in the areas of Yunakivka (in the temporarily occupied territories of the Sumy region) and Kolisnykivka (in the Kharkiv region). The number of enemy soldiers killed and wounded is being determined.

💪The Defense Forces continue to take measures to undermine the military-economic potential of the Russian occupiers and force Russia to stop its armed aggression against Ukraine."

"Advancements near Hulyaipole

In the eastern Zaporizhzhia direction, units of the "Vostok" force group have advanced along the line between Zagorne and Dorozhnyanka, occupying several strongholds near the railway.

➡️Attacks in these forest belts allow access to the village of Zheleznodorozhnoye from the south and limit the enemy's ability to deploy sabotage and reconnaissance groups to Hulyaipole, which they have repeatedly attempted to do to demonstrate their presence.

➡️Other reports are emerging of Russian forces approaching Zheleznodorozhnoye, including from Hulyaipole [Gulyaypole]. However, at this point, these are most likely related to the publication of archival footage.

➡️Along the entire direction, as well as along most of the front, weather conditions have significantly worsened. Because of this, active operations have slowed down: regrouping is underway on both sides under cover of snowfall.

📌A separate problem remains the lack of shelter—not only from UAVs but also from weather conditions. Many positions become unusable during assaults, and taking a line isn't enough: you still need to not only hold it but also simply avoid freezing.

🇺🇸🔫📊 🇪🇺 — 📰 ZeroHedge | Where The US Has Military Footholds In Europe | January 25, 2026:

"Since the beginning of his second term one year ago, President Trump has escalated his public campaign regarding his plans for acquiring Greenland, framing the autonomous Danish territory as a "national security necessity" due to its Arctic location, while the island is also rich in untapped mineral resources.

Trump's rhetoric has ranged from offers to purchase the territory from Denmark, including a direct payment to its residents, to veiled threats of military intervention, having notably stated in early January: "We are going to do something on Greenland, whether they like it or not, because if we don’t do it, Russia or China will take over Greenland, and we’re not going to have Russia or China as a neighbor".

That rhetoric appeared to peak last weekend and then drifted back into more diplomatic discussion after his flip-flop on possible kinetic action during his speech in Davos.

This push follows a pattern of assertive U.S. foreign policy, including the recent military raid in Venezuela to capture the country's President Nicolas Maduro.

The U.S. already operates a permanent military base in Greenland: Pituffik Space Base, a Cold War-era installation now staffed by about 200 personnel, down from a peak of 10,000. The base is critical for missile defense and space surveillance, but Trump argues that full U.S. control is needed to deter Russia and China, despite existing defense agreements with Denmark that allow for expanded U.S. military presence.

As Statista's Tristan Gaudiat notes in the map below, the U.S. also currently maintains over 50,000 troops across around thirty permanent bases in Europe (area of responsibility of the United States European Command), with important air hubs like Keflavik (Iceland), Ramstein (Germany) and Lakenheath (United Kingdom), or naval stations like Rota (Spain) and Souda (Greece)."

🧔🏻‍♂💲1️⃣🔠💰 — 📰 ZeroHedge | Meet The Man Who Bought $1 Billion In Physical Silver Before The Rally | January 24, 2026:

"(...)

To be exact, Bateman told his followers on X that he bought "1.5% of the annual global silver supply (12.69 million ounces)."

His reasons for the massive physical trade were as follows:

The global monetary system is about to collapse (The Great Reset, or Basel Endgame).

The biggest credit bubble in history will soon pop ($300T).

There is no way the US can refinance its $28T in maturing treasuries in the next 4 years without an obscene amount of printing.

Trump tariffs are hastening the collapse, and it's by design.

Gold and silver are the only meaningful life raft. Physical possession is everything.

The whole world right now is a sophisticated game of musical chairs; the chairs are precious metals.

Crypto is a psyop. Those who purchase will have no chair when the music stops.

Real estate, crypto, stocks and bonds will all lose significantly compared to precious metals.

The banking system has been meticulously designed to seize your assets to buoy up a collapsing banking sector (see The Great Taking). You have ZERO counter party risk with precious metals."

🇧🇷🤡☎️🇺🇸 — During a 50-minute phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) spoke about the American leader’s proposal for Brazil to join his Peace Council. The leftist leader also asked that the body deal only with the war in Gaza, without encompassing other global conflicts.

➡️ Lula also expressed interest in expanding cooperation in cracking down on money laundering and arms trafficking, as well as freezing the assets of criminal groups and exchanging data on financial transactions. According to the Planalto Palace, the proposal was well received by the U.S. president. See the full statement:

"I spoke today by phone with the President of the United States, Donald Trump. We addressed issues related to the bilateral relationship and the global agenda. We exchanged information on economic indicators of both countries, which point to good prospects for the two economies. President Trump stated that the economic growth of the United States and Brazil is positive for the region as a whole. We welcomed the good relationship built in recent months, which resulted in the lifting of a significant portion of the tariffs applied to Brazilian products.

I reiterated a proposal, submitted to the State Department in December, to strengthen cooperation in combating organized crime. I expressed interest in deepening the partnership in repressing money laundering and arms trafficking, as well as freezing the assets of criminal groups and exchanging data on financial transactions, a proposal that was well received by the U.S. president.

Regarding the Peace Council, I proposed that the body presented by the United States be limited to the issue of Gaza and provide a seat for Palestine. In this context, I reiterated the importance of a comprehensive reform of the United Nations, including the expansion of permanent members of the Security Council.

We exchanged views on the situation in Venezuela. I stressed the importance of preserving peace and stability in the region and working for the well-being of the Venezuelan people.

We agreed on holding a visit to Washington after my trip to India and South Korea in February, on a date to be set soon."

"Another significant military purge [#VÆ] appears underway in China, as Saturday morning the West woke up to news that China's most senior military officer, who is second only to Xi Jinping, has been put under investigation over alleged "grave violations of discipline and the law."

Gen. Zhang Youxia is a vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, the Communist Party body that controls China's armed forces, and this comes as somewhat of a major shock given he is widely regarded as President Xi's closest ally within the military - or at least prior to this.

Another member of the commission, Gen. Liu Zhenli, has also been placed under investigation, according to the Defense Ministry on the same day. He's in charge of the PLA military's Joint Staff Department."
