Five Insights Into The Trilateral Russian-Ukrainian-US Talks
Authored by Andrew Korybko,
Russia's agreement to this format represents a significant policy shift.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed that the second round of the trilateral Russian-Ukrainian-US talks in Abu Dhabi will be held on 1 February.
There haven't been many leaks from the first round so observers can only speculate about the subject and significance of this new format.
Nevertheless, it's still possible to intuit some insight into this based on what's known and has been reported, thus enabling folks to obtain a better understanding of this latest development. What follows are five important points:
1. Territory Is Reportedly The Last Remaining Issue
Putin's top aide Yuri Ushakov said on the eve of the first round of talks that “bringing about a lasting settlement would be unlikely without addressing the territorial issue based on the formula as agreed in Anchorage.” This was followed by US Secretary of S...

Putin Envoy Dmitriev Back In Miami For Talks, Which Seem To Be Going Nowhere
President Putin's special envoy Kirill Dmitriev has arrived in Miami this weekend where he held another round of talks with an American delegation. The discussions started early Saturday morning, after Dmitriev confirmed his arrival, writing on social media simply, "Back in Miami".
The talks follow a round of meetings held on January 23-24 in Abu Dhabi involving the United States, Ukraine, and Russia. Media reports said those discussions produced "progress" on military-related issues, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky describing them as constructive. But were they really?

Apart from such expressions of limited optimism, there's been no serious advancement of peace in any tangible or measurable way, and on issues which matter as 'red lines' to either side.
For example, territorial concessions are still a sticking point for Moscow, but Ukraine and its Western backers have n...

Latest Epstein Emails Reveal Bill Gates Slipped Wife Antibiotics For STD He Got From Russian Hookers
Democrats thought that the firehose release of Epstein files would "finally" bring down Trump. Instead, not only is that not happening (one can argue the latest batch of docs further cements Trump's claim that he had distanced himself far enough from Esptein in recent decades as this admission from Epstein himself to his favorite scribe Michael Wolff reveals), but it is taking down Democratic "thought titans", each one bigger than the next: first it was Larry Summers, then Bill Clinton, now it's Bill Gates.
In what can only be described as the latest chapter in the never-ending saga of elite depravity, the DOJ coughed up over three million pages of Jeffrey Epstein's sordid files – a treasure trove of smut, scandal, and schadenfreude that puts the spotlight squarely back on billionaire vaccine-pusher and Microsoft mogul Bill Gates. Released on Friday, these documents inc...

Impose sanctions on refineries that buy Russian crude oil to end war, says Bill Browder (The Guardian)

Putin critic says plants in China, India and Turkey are funnelling up to $1bn a day to KremlinBill Browder's fight against Vladimir Putin has seen him face threats, lawsuits, false accusations of murder and Interpol arrest warrants. A disinformation-laden film was even made about him.But 16 years after the death of his friend and lawyer Sergei Magnitsky at the hands of Putin's regime, Browder is unrelenting in his fight for justice. It is an endeavour that, by his estimation, has cost Putin and his cronies billions of dollars already, via asset freezes and sanctions. Hence the considerable risk to his safety.

Russia Insists Venezuelan Scenario Will Not Happen In Cuba: ′No Easy Ride′ (ZeroHedge)

Russia Insists Venezuelan Scenario Will Not Happen In Cuba: 'No Easy Ride'
Russian Ambassador to the UN Vassily Nebenzia vowed on Friday that there will be no repeat of the Venezuelan scenario in Cuba.
"There has undoubtedly been betrayal in Venezuela, this is being said quite openly. Some high-ranking officials have, in fact, betrayed the president. This scenario will not work in Cuba. I think that the Americans, despite the rhetoric they have been using against Cuba lately, are still just rhetoric. Because there will be no easy ride in Cuba if they want to repeat something like what happened in Venezuela," Nebenzia told a Russian TV channel.
The statements come a day following Trump signing a new executive order declaring a national emergency related to Cuba and creating a new tariff mechanism targeting countries that supply oil to the island-nation. Already Cuba's vital flow of Venezuela oil has been cut off by US order.

Russia's Lukoil To Sell Bulk Of International Portfolio To US Carlyle Group
Russia's second-largest oil producer, Lukoil, has agreed to sell the bulk of its international assets - initially valued at $22 billion by analysts - to private equity heavyweight Carlyle, as Western sanctions continue to force a fire sale of Russian energy holdings abroad.
This sanctions-induced fire sale was expected, as the company had first unveiled in late October: "Lukoil informs that owing to introduction of restrictive measures against the Company and its subsidiaries by some states the Company announces its intention to sell its international assets."

The US sanctions on Lukoil and Rosneft represented the first major round of economic penalties imposed on Moscow following Trump's return to his second term in the White House.
"I just felt it was time," Trump had told reporters on Oct. 22 while hosting NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte in the Oval Office. "These are t...
