21.01.2025 ⇢ Silence Between Two Powers
⌨Trump's inauguration triggered immediate policy shifts regarding Ukraine. His 90-day foreign aid freeze, while supposedly excluding military support to Ukraine, created uncertainty in morning headlines. By afternoon, Ukrainian forces reported striking the Smolensk Aviation Plant and Voronezh oil depot, continuing the strategic infrastructure campaign from previous days.
Multiple corruption cases emerged in Ukraine's military apparatus, with the arrest of the Armed Forces' chief psychiatrist for illicit wartime enrichment. From Davos, Zelenskyy revealed Putin's demands for negotiations: a fivefold reduction in Ukraine's army size. This contextualizes previous days' reports about Trump's territorial compromise proposals.
Evening brought Russian drone attacks on Mykolaiv, damaging residential buildings, while Ukraine signed a security agreement with Albania. Throughout the day, combat continued around Pokrovsk, maintaining the pressure pattern observed since January 19.
