Latest Developments At A Glance An oil refinery in the Russian city of Ryazan was engulfed in flames after Kyiv launched a massive drone attack -- Ukraine's largest since the start of the year -- that targeted more than a dozen regions across the country, including Moscow. In Kyiv, a Russian attack resulted in the deaths of three civilians. Damage to residential areas was also reported, including significant destruction in the towns of Fastiv and Brovary near the Ukrainian capital. During a January 23 speech to the global business elite gathered at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, U.S. President Donald Trump called on Saudi Arabia and its allies in OPEC toramp up oil output, a move that would push down crude prices, choking a key revenue source for Moscow to fund its war. Rescue workers combed through the rubble on January 23 after Russian air strikes on the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhya overnight killed one and left at least 46 injured. Britain warned Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin that "we know what you're doing" after the Royal Navy tracked what it called a "Russian spy ship" traveling through U.K. waters, amid rising concerns of potential sabotage by Russia-linked vessels. Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskiy floated the idea of a 200,000-strong European peacekeeping force, but he insisted U.S. leadership in any such a venture would be crucial to its success. Could Trump Cut A Deal With Putin And Leave Ukraine In The Cold?
U.S. President Donald Trump said he wants to end the war in Ukraine as quickly as possible, but his desire for peace raises the possibility of striking a deal that leaves Kyiv out in the cold. Read the report by Reid Standish and RFE/RL's Ukrainian Service here.
