Summy area. The Northeast Rescue Team revealed nine civilian bodies from a tile BLE in a house that was attacked by a Russian drone overnight by a Russian drone on January 30. 13 people were injured. This attack is one of the most fatal ones since Russian ballistic missiles hit residential areas, killed 10 people, and injured more than 50 people.
Donetsk area. Russian bombardment throughout the region caused one resident to die on January 29 and four were injured.
The Russian army is moving forward on the eastern front. For the past year, Russia has gained hundreds of square miles since the attack was concentrated in the Donetsk area. Despite the huge victim, Russia is trying to overrun Poclovsk. Road and railway hubs are considered the key to this area. If successful, the Russian army can block out supplies on the Ukrainian army in this area. It is reported that the Russian army seized only 10 miles southwest of the city yesterday. Nevertheless, the Ukrainian army has recently regained some positions around Pokurovsk.
The United States has stopped all non -military assistance to Ukraine as part of a widespread 90 -day review of the foreign support program launched by President Donald Trump. The purpose of this movement is to evaluate the effectiveness and consistency of US diplomatic assistance and US foreign policy. This suspension affects various important programs in Ukraine, including energy security initiatives, small and medium -sized enterprises, and media subsidies. This reached more than $ 5.4 billion in 2024. In 2023, support was $ 16 billion.
Despite the freezing, the Ukrainian government’s budget and the US Bank of the United States, including the $ 20 billion loan from the World Bank, are not affected. However, sectors such as energy and the development of small and medium -sized enterprises are currently ongoing projects.
Diplomat under the US State Department has already been in the lobby for the exception of suspension, especially for a program that is regarded as important for Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and economic recovery. There is a hope that the USAID project may be revived after the audit, but there is a concern that the initiative, especially the promotion of democracy and social policy, may be reduced.
The EU is discussing whether to resume the import of Russian pipeline gas as part of the Peace Agreement in Ukraine. Supporters argued that Moscow could reduce energy costs and encourage negotiations, and the German, Hungary, and other EU capitals were suffering from energy prices. We consider it as a way to relax. German GDP has been reduced by 0.2 % for the second consecutive year. In fact, European energy costs three to four times as much as the United States and puts an additional burden on the industrial sector. Before the war, Russian gas accounted for 40 % of the EU supply. Today, it has about 10 %, most of which are flowing through a turquo -stop tark stop pipeline.
However, this proposal faces Brussels, East Europe, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporters in the United States, and we are worried that there is a possibility that efforts to secure a long -term contract may be impaired. 。 The European Commission has rejected the relationship between peace negotiations and gas transportation, and reaffirmed the commitment of abolishing Russian fossil fuels by 2027.
The future 16 sanctions package of the EU, prepared to commemorate the third anniversary of the war in Ukraine, does not include the completely ban on Russia’s LNG purchase. Germany, on the other hand, receives 3 % to 9.2 % of gas from Moscow delivered from other EU countries.
Sweden offers the largest military aid package in Ukraine. The $ 1.0 billion support supports $ 530 million to strengthen Ukraine’s domestic weapons production, and to strengthen Ukraine’s defense industries to strengthen Ukraine’s domestic weapons production due to long -term wars. Under the Denmark model, it contains $ 250 million, including $ 180 million.
The aid package was the 18th Sweden since Russia’s invasion in 2022, following a groundbreaking security agreement with Kiev in May 2024, and Stockholm has gained $ 6.5 billion military support until 2026. did. It shifts from historical neutrality as the security threats from Moscow are expanding.
The UK will provide a new $ 2.5 billion aid package to Ukraine, focusing on the localization of air defense and weapon production. Rustemumerov announced on January 31. Military assistance of $ 3.6 billion annually as needed. In addition, the Ministry of Finance reported that Ukraine’s state budget had received $ 3.8 billion in January.
Ukrainian population crisis has continued to deepen, and the latest government data has revealed that the death is nearly three times higher than in 2024. The Ukrainian Ministry of Justice recorded more than 495,000 deaths for less than 177,000 births, reducing the birth rate from the previous year by 5.7 %. Although the mortality rate has decreased by 0.2 %, the ongoing war, economic difficulties, and mass immigrants have worsened population decline. Ukrainian population statistics prediction research institute estimates that it can shrink from 35.8 million in the mid -2050 to 25 million by 2050, and only 31.1 million people live on territory managed by Kyiv.
This acceleration decline brings important long -term issues, from lack of labor to economic stagnation. The birth rate has dropped to an important 0.9 child (the third largest in the world), which is far below the 2.1 excitement required for population exchange. Areas such as KHERSON and Donetsk, which are seriously affected by war, face the strict imbalance, and death is up to 11 times more than 11 times.
