Oklahoma legislators demanded not to allow the Ukrainian military to study in the state and even signed a resolution to this effect. Washington is going to teach the use of Patriot air defense systems there.

1. US President Joe Biden has admitted to keeping classified documents in a library at his home. We are talking about materials related to the period of Barack Obama's rule. Keeping such documents at home is a violation of the regulations. "Personal lawyers finished checking last night. They found a small number of classified documents in storage rooms in filing cabinets in my house in my personal library," Biden told reporters. During the speech, the president read his speech from a piece of paper. He promised to explain in more detail on the situation, but to do it later, but for now continue to work closely with the Ministry of Justice. -- 2.

Security has been stepped up in Brazil’s capital amid concerns that hardcore supporters of the former president Jair Bolsonaro were planning to mobilise again, three days after thousands of extremists launched what the government has called a botched coup attempt. As new calls to demonstrate on Wednesday evening in Brasilia circulate among supporters of the far-right former president Jair Bolsonaro, the authorities have decided to reinforce security in the capital and throughout the country, three days after the ransacking of institutional buildings. Brazilian authorities should thoroughly investigate all those who have incited, financed, or committed acts of violence in an attempt to negate election results, Human Rights Watch said today when releasing itsWorld Report 2023. The effort to negate election results culminated in the January 8, 2023 attack on democratic institutions in Brasilia. President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva should respond to the unprecedented assault on January 8 by strengthening democratic principles, upholding the rule of law, and tackling chronic human rights problems that were made worse during the presidency of Jair Bolsonaro. #brazil #bolsonaro #jairbolsonaro #supporters #congrees #supremecourt #invasion #lulapresidente #protests #electoral #damages #planalto #brasilia #humanrights - Related: Lula da Silva arrived at the presidential palace in Brasilia, which was destroyed by protesters: [https://youtu.be/BDZejQPiWLQ]

1. The head of the Wagner group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, confirmed the complete liberation of Soledar, his press service said on Telegram. "Once again, I want to confirm the complete liberation and cleansing of the territory of Soledar from units of the Ukrainian army," Prigozhin said. Civilians had been evacuated from Soledar, 500 Ukrainian soldiers who did not want to surrender were killed, he added. Earlier, Prigozhin announced that the group's units had taken control of the entire territory of Soledar, and a cauldron had been formed in the center of the city, in which battles were being waged. --- *2. Officers of the Ukrainian armed forces began fleeing the city of Soledar in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) three days ago, abandoning the personnel surrounded by Russian forces, Vladimir Novikov, codenamed Aalabay and commander of the Troy Russian volunteer special forces unit, told TASS on Wednesday.* On Wednesday, Russian Defense Ministry Spokesman Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov said that Russian troops had blocked Soledar from the north and south, and fighting continued in the city. According to Novikov, as soon as the Russian intelligence detects the redeployment or retreat of officers from a populated area to which Russian troops are actively advancing, it becomes clear that the Ukrainian army "gives up on these positions"."They have been doing this consistently since 2014. As soon as ‘things get a bit too hot’, attempts begin to evacuate the officership," he noted. --- *3. Earlier, Yan Gagin, a military-political expert from the DPR, told TASS that there were many mobilized Ukrainians among the servicemen captured during the fight for Soledar. According to Rodion Miroshnik, former ambassador of the Lugansk People's Republic in Moscow, Ukrainian troops have lost about 25,000 people in the battles for Soledar and these losses are irreparable.* Soledar is of strategic importance for the Kyiv regime: the city is located in the center of the Artemovsk-Seversk defense line. The Armed Forces of Ukraine erected powerful defensive fortifications here. The liberation of Soledar will cut the direct route between #Seversk and #Artemovsk, and cover Artemovsk from the north. #soledar #russianarmy #wagnergroup #prigozhin #liberation #donetskpeoplesrepublic #donetsk #ukrainianarmy #ukrainewar #prisoners #officers #bakhmut Text to speech online: https://ttsfree.com/

1. US plans to train Ukrainian servicemen in the use of Patriot missiles provides further proof of Washington's participation in the Ukraine conflict, Russia's ambassador to the United States said on Tuesday. "The decision of the US defense department to organize a training course at Fort Sill in Oklahoma is yet another confirmation of Washington's de facto participation in the Ukrainian conflict on the side of Kyiv's Nazi criminals," Anatoly Antonov said in a statement posted by his embassy. - *2.

"Ridiculous, in particular, against the backdrop of all the problems Canada suffers domestically. This is just an amused bystander observation. Of course, it's up to the Canadians to decide if this policy is adequate." - *3.

However, if there is a group of countries that supports the delivery of tanks, Finland will consider its participation in the delivery of equipment. The Finnish government is waiting for decisions from Germany and other major countries and will not be the first to decide on the delivery of Leopards. The delivery of German-made Leopards will require Berlin's re-export license, the report said. Finland has over 200 Leopard 2 tanks, according to the news outlet, however, only few of them can be given to Kiev. Besides, the Ukrainian army might face difficulties in servicing these tanks, which will create a strong need for additional supplies of parts and reorganized maintenance procedures. - *VIDEO: В США начнут обучать украинских военных управляться с ЗРК Patriot - [@Россия 24]* #nato #europe #unitedstates #weapons #ukrainewar #russianarmy #training #troops #conflictinukraine #militaryaid #support #involvement ------------ Related: NATO, EU, US direct party to Ukraine conflict, Kremlin commented on the words of Patrushev: [https://youtu.be/S6yendQNXxs]

Thousands of residents were told to leave their homes as heavy rain caused flooding in parts of California. Relentless storms have killed at least 17 people since late December... 1. California saw no relief from drenching rains early Tuesday, as the latest in a relentless string of storms continued to swamp roads and batter coastlines with high surf, turning rivers into gushing flood zones and forcing the evacuation of thousands in towns with histories of deadly mudslides. At least 17 people have died since the storms began last week. The storm prompted a few tornado warnings early Tuesday and also was expected to bring heavy snow to the Sierra Nevada mountain range a day after dumping up to 36 centimetres of rain at higher elevations in central and Southern California. After a brief respite, another storm was expected to barrel into the state beginning Wednesday, adding to the misery and further saturating areas already at risk of flooding and debris flows. It could bring enough rain to exacerbate ongoing flooding and heighten the risk of mudslides, forecasters said. The NWS described an "endless onslaught of atmospheric river events" that is the most powerful storm system since 2005. The town of Montecito, a favorite of American entertainment royalty such as Oprah Winfrey and Jennifer Aniston, was expected to get up to eight inches of rain in 24 hours -- threatening dangerous mudslides on hills already sodden by weeks of downpours. - 2. Relentless rains that started falling on Sunday have flooded parts of Los Angeles, killed at least 17 people statewide and led to evacuation orders for nearly 50,000 residents across California as rivers continue to rise and mudslide fears grow. Forecasters warned Californians to expect unusual bouts of hail, lightning storms, wind gusts of up to 60 miles an hour and possibly even tornadoes to go along with the heavy rain for much of Tuesday. Experts say the cost of the damage done by the storms could top $1 billion. As strong as the storms of recent weeks have been, scientists and meteorologists are still waiting to see whether they will come close to equaling the most severe winter-weather crisis in the West Coast’s modern history. Historical comparisons are tricky: Such storms’ effects can vary significantly between Northern and Southern California and between different river basins. There isn’t just one metric that captures everything about how big or how destructive one of these weekslong storm sequences was. #california #californiafloods #floods #flooding #landslide #landslides #evacuation #evacuations #extremeweather #bombcyclone #meteorology #damage #damages -- Related: California Storm Leaves over 560,000 Homes without Power, More Rough Weather Ahead: [https://www.eco-r.eu/2023/01/california-storm-leaves-over-560000.html] - Bomb cyclone sweeps California with rains, winds and floods: [https://www.eco-r.eu/2023/01/bomb-cyclone-sweeps-california-with.html] ------ October 26, 2021: La Californie frappée par la sécheresse et par un cyclone extratropical : [https://www.eco-r.eu/2021/10/la-californie-frappee-par-la-secheresse.html]

The events in Ukraine are not a clash between Moscow and Kyiv, but a military confrontation between NATO and Russia, says Nikolai Patrushev, Secretary of the Russian Security Council. Commenting on Nikolai Patrushev's interview with Arguments and Facts, Dmitry Peskov, press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation, noted that you can't argue with that. NATO and the US have de facto become an indirect party to the conflict in Ukraine, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Tuesday. "Of course, NATO and the US are indirectly involved in the conflict,"he said. "They have de facto become an indirect party to the conflict by flooding Ukraine with weapons, technologies and intelligence. So their involvement in the conflict is clear," Peskov added. The Kremlin spokesman also dismissed claims that the Russian authorities’ statements about NATO’s involvement in the Ukraine conflict could encourage the bloc to increase support for Kiev. *When commenting on Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolay Patrushev’s remark that Ukrainian developments pointed to a military confrontation between NATO and Russia rather than a clash between Moscow and Kiev, Peskov said: "Patrushev described the actual situation."* "Hardly anything can push NATO and the US to ramp up supplies. We can see that the build-up in supplies is growing daily, expanding to include more complicated and powerful weapons, while the amount and range of weapons and ammunition are also increasing,"Peskov went on to say. "The training of Ukrainian troops is being intensified, and we have been taking note of all these aspects. All this is nothing but evidence of those countries’ indirect involvement in the conflict. It’s not an assumption, it is a statement of fact that’s impossible to argue with," he noted. -- VIDEO: В Кремле прокомментировали слова Патрушева о противостоянии с НАТО [@Россия 24]

According to figures presented by the Ombudsman's Office, a total of 17 people, including a minor, have been killed as a result of the clash between protesters and law enforcement. Some victims remain unidentified The clashes occurred in Juliaca, a city near the banks of Lake Titicaca in southern Peru’s Puno region, and left 68 people injured, Henry Rebaza, a Puno health ministry official, told the state-run television channel TV Peru. Some of the bodies had bullet wounds, Puno’s regional health director, Ismael Cornejo, told local radio station RPP. The latest casualties raise the death toll from antigovernment clashes with security forces to 39 since the protests began in early December after the removal and arrest of #Castillo shortly after he tried to illegally dissolve Congress. Castillo is serving 18 months of pretrial detention on charges of rebellion, which he denies. Rebaza told Peru TV that 28 injured police officers are unable to be evacuated from Juliaca’s airport.

Strict compliance with the Montreux Convention that regulates navigation in the Black Sea Straits made it possible to avoid tensions in the Black Sea after the beginning of the Ukrainian crisis, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Monday. "Turkey strictly follows the Montreux Convention. By doing so, we have prevented tensions in the Black Sea basin," Erdogan said in his address to the national after the government meeting. Previously, Turkish authorities have stated repeatedly that Turkey did not authorize a single military ship to pass to the Black Sea, utilizing its power under the Montreux Convention. In March last year, Turkey officially informed Russia and Ukraine that it will apply Article 19 of the Convention, which prohibits military ships from passing through the Black Sea Straits. [TASS] --- *** On 28 February 2022, the Turkish government decided that Russia’s SPOP in Ukraine triggered the Article 19 of the Montreux Convention, treating Russia as a belligerent. However, one caveat is that Russian military vessels would be allowed to return their bases. While Turkey may be making a strategic interpretation of Article 19, legally this could be questioned. As an act of aggression against the territorial integrity of Ukraine, the annexation of Crimea would trigger Article 41 of the ARSIWA. In which case, the exception allowing a belligerent power to return to its naval base would not apply. Nonetheless, understandably Turkey is once more engaging in a careful geostrategic calibration to avoid a dangerous naval confrontation between Russia and Turkey, a NATO member, in the Black Sea. #montreuxconvention #montreux #militaryships #warships #belligerent #blacksea #straits #dardanelles #gallipoli #territorialwaters #bosphorus #bosporus --- Related: H Ελλάδα των 12 ναυτικών μιλίων στο Αιγαίο και η επέκταση τους νότια και ανατολικά της Κρήτης: [https://youtu.be/g2pcWEwsn0c]

Last week, US President Joe Biden and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz released a joint statement announcing commitments of infantry fighting vehicles to Ukraine. French President Emmanuel Macron, in turn, promised his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, to supply Kiev with an unspecified number of AMX-10 RC armored combat vehicles. "It hardly makes sense to speak only of France's decision.

*1. Οι κλειδωμένες πύλες του Αιγαίου και τα πλοκάμια της Άγκυρας* Μετά την αναθεωρητική της πολιτική στο κυρίως Αιγαίο και στην Κύπρο, η Τουρκία έχει ήδη ανοίξει τα πλοκάμια της στην περιοχή της Κρήτης. Τώρα επεκτείνει και εκεί το casus belli στην περίπτωση κατά την οποία η Ελλάδα ασκήσει το δικαίωμα που της παρέχει το Διεθνές Δίκαιο για τα 12 ναυτικά μίλια. Η τουρκική κίνηση δεν είναι καθόλου τυχαία. Είναι συναφής με τις στρατηγικές αδυναμίες της Άγκυρας, αλλά και τις επιδιώξεις της. Τι θέλουμε να πούμε; Η Τουρκία προσδοκά ότι διά της σκιάς της ισχύος της ή με τη χρήση της: Α. Θα αποτρέψει την επέκταση των 12 ναυτικών μιλίων στην περιοχή της Κρήτης. Διότι η επέκταση των 12 ν.μ. θα επηρεάσει αρνητικά έναν στρατηγικό στόχο της Άγκυρας όπως το τουρκολιβυκό μνημόνιο. Ένα ζήτημα, που είναι συναφές με την έκταση της ελληνικής ΑΟΖ. Β. Θα περιορίσει τη δυνατότητα της Ελλάδας να ελέγχει δύο βασικές θαλάσσιες οδούς. Η μία είναι αυτή μεταξύ Κρήτης και Λιβύης, που ξεκινά από το Σουέζ και καταλήγει στο Γιβραλτάρ, και η άλλη είναι αμφίδρομη: Ξεκινά από το Σουέζ και μέσω Κύπρου καταλήγει στο Αιγαίο και από εκεί διά των στενών των Δαρδανελλίων και της Κωνσταντινουπόλεως στη Μαύρη θάλασσα και αντίστροφα.(https://www.sigmalive.com/news/greece/1052630/oi-kleidomenes-pyles-tou-aigaiou-kai-ta-plokamia-tis-agkyras) ---- *2. Γιατί η Τουρκία δεν πρόκειται να αντιδράσει σε επέκταση των χωρικών υδάτων νοτίως της Κρήτης* Η ενόχληση που προκλήθηκε στην Άγκυρα από αναφορές ελληνικών ΜΜΕ για πιθανή επέκταση των Χωρικών Υδάτων (Χ.Υ.) νοτίως της Κρήτης, και οι προκλητικές δηλώσεις που ακολούθησαν από κυβερνητικούς αξιωματούχους αλλά και από αναλυτές της γειτονικής χώρας, αποκαλύπτουν, όχι μόνο τη νευρικότητα που διακατέχει την τουρκική πλευρά κάθε φορά που η Αθήνα διατηρεί την πρωτοβουλία των εξελίξεων, αλλά και τις κόκκινες γραμμές της Τουρκίας σε θέματα του αναθεωρητικού πλαισίου, καθώς και την κεντρική σημασία που έχει το Αιγαίο στη γεωπολιτική εξίσωση.... Οι δηλώσεις του Τούρκου Υπουργού Εξωτερικών Μ. Τσαβούσογλου, του Υπουργού Εθνικής Άμυνας Χ. Ακάρ, αλλά και του Συμβούλου του Ερντογάν Ι. Καλίν, σε σχετικές ερωτήσεις για την επέκταση των Χ.Υ. στην Κρήτη από την Ελλάδα, τόνιζαν την αποφασιστικότητα της Τουρκίας να μην επιτρέψει επέκταση των Χ.Υ. πέραν των 6 ναυτικών μιλίων (ν.μ.). Οι δύο πρώτοι, επικαλούμενοι την απόφαση της Τουρκικής Εθνοσυνέλευσης (Ιούνιος 1995), ενώ ο Καλίν, αν και αναφέρθηκε στην ίδια αποφασιστικότητα της Άγκυρας για αντίδραση σε επέκταση των Χ.Υ. στην Κρήτη, προσέθεσε δηκτικά ότι δεν μπορεί να γίνει αποδεκτό η Τουρκία να δεχτεί ότι οι θαλάσσιες διελεύσεις τουρκικών και ξένων πλοίων από τη Μαύρη Θάλασσα προς τη Μεσόγειο θα διέρχονται μόνο από ελληνικά Χ.Υ., δηλαδή από το Αιγαίο. Θυμίζουμε, ότι τον Ιούνιο του 1995, με απόφαση της Τουρκικής Εθνοσυνέλευσης, εκφράσθηκε η αντίθεση της Άγκυρας σε πιθανή πρόθεση της Αθήνας να επεκτείνει τα Χ.Υ. πέραν των 6 ν.μ. στο Αιγαίο, αναφέροντας χαρακτηριστικά στο σχετικό κείμενο, ότι δόθηκαν όλες οι αρμοδιότητες στην τουρκική κυβέρνηση για την προστασία και υπεράσπιση των ζωτικών συμφερόντων της χώρας, συμπεριλαμβανομένων και εκείνων που κρίνονται στρατιωτικά απαραίτητες. Το ερώτημα που προκύπτει είναι: γιατί οι δύο Τούρκοι Υπουργοί και ο Σύμβουλος του Ερντογάν, ενώ ερωτήθηκαν για τις αντιδράσεις της Άγκυρας σε περίπτωση επέκτασης των Χ.Υ. στην Κρήτη, οι δύο πρώτοι απάντησαν κάνοντας επίκληση στην απόφαση του Ιουνίου 1995 η οποία αποτελεί Casus Belli αλλά αφορά μόνο το Αιγαίο και όχι το Λιβυκό Πέλαγος, ενώ ο τρίτος μίλησε για θαλάσσιες διελεύσεις μέσω του Αιγαίου προς τη Μεσόγειο που όμως δεν αφορά τη νότια Κρήτη; Η απάντηση στο ερώτημα δόθηκε από τον αρθρογράφο της φιλοκυβερνητικής εφημερίδας Yeni Şafak, Γ. Μποστάν, ο οποίος σε σχετικό άρθρο της 30ης Δεκεμβρίου 2022 υποστήριξε ότι η θέση της Άγκυρας σε επέκταση των Χ.Υ. στην Κρήτη είναι ξεκάθαρη και αφορά μόνο την ανατολική ακτή του νησιού, αναφέροντας χαρακτηριστικά ότι εάν η Ελλάδα αποφασίσει επέκταση στα 12 ν.μ. και συμπεριλάβει την ανατολική ακτή του νησιού της Κρήτης κάνοντας ένα βήμα που θα επηρεάσει και το Αιγαίο, αυτό θα σημαίνει αιτία πολέμου για την Τουρκία. Σχετικά με την πιθανή επέκταση των Χ.Υ. στα νότια της Κρήτης, ο ίδιος ανέφερε ότι η Άγκυρα αναμφίβολα δεν θα αρνηθεί την πολιτική, διπλωματική και στρατιωτική της υποστήριξη στη Λιβύη σε αυτή την ένταση....(https://inkomotini.news/giati-i-tourkia-den-prokeitai-na-antidrasei-se-epektasi-ton-xorikon-idaton-notios-tis-kritis/) #χωρικάύδατα #κρήτη #αιγαίο #αιγαιο #διχοτόμηση #casusbelli #unclos #territorialwaters #expansion #internationallaw #lawofsea - VIDEO: @sigmalive --- ΣΧΕΤΙΚΑ: Συμμορφωθείτε και δεν θα πλήξουμε την Αθήνα με πυραύλους, Casus Belli από Καλίν για τα ΧΥ της Κρήτης: [https://youtu.be/G5k8oVJElRE] - Turkey's casus belli: Akar warned Greece about consequences.

1. The US House of Representatives elected Republican Kevin McCarthy as speaker in the 15th round of votes this week, ending four days of deadlock that stalled the lower chamber from conducting business. McCarthy received 216 votes to win the House speakership after hours of talks to rally a majority of Republicans shortly after midnight Saturday. The result also meant elected representatives have finally been sworn in as members of the 118th Congress, and the House can get to work. McCarthy had been in tense negotiations for days with a small but critical group of far right conservative lawmakers who made extended demands for concessions that would essentially make it easier to depose a speaker and weaken the powers of the speaker's office to drive the legislative agenda and assign committee posts. After McCarthy failed to secure the speakership in a 14th round of voting late Friday night, the House squashed a motion to adjourn until Monday and instead opted to continue voting in a 15th — and ultimately final — round of balloting. McCarthy emerged victorious after Republicans Andy Biggs and Eli Crane of Arizona and Bob Good of Virginia voted "present," which lowered the threshold of support the GOP leader needed to win. Republicans hold a 222-212 majority in the House. A total of 21 Republicans voted in opposition to McCarthy over the course of 15 ballots, before negotiating a deal with the dissenters on House rules and other political matters. --- *2. US President Joe Biden has congratulated Republican Kevin McCarthy on his election as House Speaker and expressed the readiness to work with Republicans, the White House said on Saturday.* "Jill and I congratulate Kevin McCarthy on his election as Speaker of the House ... As I said after the midterms, I am prepared to work with Republicans when I can and voters made clear that they expect Republicans to be prepared to work with me as well," Biden said in a statement.
