[Korrespondent] 22:00 Behind the decision to drastically increase military aid to Ukraine is concern in some Western capitals that time may be on Russia's side , reports The Wall Street Journal. As the newspaper writes, this concern indicates that the window of opportunity for Ukraine is not endless, and it needs powerful Western weapons in the near future to increase the momentum it achieved during the counter-offensive last year.
20:48 Zelensky said that against the backdrop of constant Russian terrorist attacks on Ukrainian cities and villages, against the backdrop of constant Russian assaults, "it is even shocking that you have to convince international sports bureaucrats to refuse any support for a terrorist state." According to the President, the attempt of the International Olympic Committee to return Russian athletes to competitions and the Olympic Games is “an attempt to tell the whole world that terror can be something acceptable. As if you can turn a blind eye to what Russia is doing with Kherson and Kharkov, with Bakhmut and Avdiivka.
The head of state also said that he had sent a letter to Macron regarding the possible participation of Russian athletes in the Summer Olympics in Paris: “Preparing for the Paris Olympics, we must be sure that Russia will not be able to use it or any other international sporting event to promote aggression or his state chauvinism.
20:40 Zelensky said in an evening video message that the situation at the front is very tough: "Bakhmutskoe, Vuhledarskoye and other directions in the Donetsk region are constant Russian assaults, constant attempts to break through our defenses. The enemy does not count people and, despite his numerous losses, maintains a high intensity of attacks. In some of its wars, Russia lost on the whole less than it puts there, including near Bakhmut."
According to the President, it is now very important for Ukraine to maintain the dynamics of defense support from partners, because the speed of delivery has been and will be one of the key factors in this war: "Russia hopes to prolong the war, to exhaust our forces. Therefore, we must make time our weapon. We must speed up events, speed up deliveries and the opening of new necessary armed options for Ukraine."
Zelensky recalled that this week there were significant defensive results in relations with the United States, Germany, Poland, Canada, Belgium, Norway, Italy and other countries. "We must make the next week no less strong for our defense," the president added.
19:08 The enemy continues to conduct offensive operations in the Limansky, Bakhmutsky, Avdeevsky and Novopavlovsky directions. In other directions, it is defending on previously occupied lines, the General Staff said in an evening summary.
According to the General Staff, the invaders removed all medical equipment from the local hospitals in Kakhovka and Nova Kakhovka to Novotroitskoye, Kherson region. The occupation authorities are closing medical institutions in these cities, contrary to earlier promises. The staff was faced with a fact - transfer or dismissal.
18:29 Zelensky said that he had held a regular meeting of the Headquarters of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief: "We heard reports on the operational situation at the front, in particular, in the Donetsk direction and in the south. We considered important information from intelligence about the possible actions of the enemy in the near future. We are preparing for all possible events. We discussed the issues of ensuring the key needs of the Ukrainian Defense Forces in the main types of weapons, military equipment and ammunition for operations scheduled for 2023."
18:23 A defense complex in the Iranian city of Isfahan attacked Israel with drones, writes The Wall Street Journal, citing US officials and people familiar with the operation.

Chips of mainly large Dutch manufacturers, such as NXP and Nexperia, get into Russia. NXP chips were recently found in Russian equipment that was destroyed in Ukraine - an armored howitzer, a cruise missile and a combat helicopter.
12:30 British intelligence notes that the inclusion of basic military training in the curriculum of the Russian secondary school, as well as the introduction of the Fundamentals of Military Training program for students of Russian universities, highlights the increasingly militarized atmosphere in Russia, and is also a (probably deliberate) memory of the Soviet Union, where such training was mandatory.
11:26 Scholz said that the issue of providing Ukraine with fighter jets does not even arise yet, and warned against "raising the stakes": "The German Chancellor, who takes his oath seriously, must do everything so that Russia's war against Ukraine does not turn into a war between Russia and NATO. He added that he would not allow "such an escalation."
Scholz also said that he would continue to call Putin, because "it is necessary to talk to each other."
10:27 The Iranian Ministry of Defense stated that as a result of the night attack by drones, only minor damage was inflicted on the roof of the military facility, its work was not disrupted.
10:18 Peskov said that "because of the West's hybrid war against Russia," part of the information about the economic policy of the Russian Federation is not disclosed to a wide range of people.
10:07 The deficit in the energy system of Ukraine remains significant, the production of electricity at operating power plants cannot fully cover consumption, Ukrenergo reported.

17:54 Soledarsky section setting as of 17.00 January 29, 2023
In the Soledar sector, the assault detachments of the Wagner PMC liberated the village of Blagodatnoye to the west of Soledar, thereby establishing full control over the settlements adjacent to the city.
In addition, the liberation of Blagodatny opens up the prospect of increasing further pressure on the northeastern suburbs of Bakhmut - Krasnaya Gora and Paraskovievka, where fierce fighting has now unfolded.
Russian units are currently advancing from the northern outskirts of Krasnaya Gora and from the Bakhmutka River in the southeast of Paraskovievka. Ukrainian formations are moving significant reserves to hold two important settlements.
Also, control over Blagodatny will allow to increase the pace of advance on the Vasyukovka-Razdolovka-Veseloye line both from Soledar and from the Yakovlevka-Berestovoe-Belogorovka line.
Progress in this direction is more promising, unlike the assault on equipped strongholds on the hills west of Blagodatnoye - the Ukrainian Armed Forces dug trenches and prepared positions for defense.
The attack on Razdolovka and Vasyukovka will make it possible to get closer to the Seversk agglomeration and bypass the members of the Ukrainian formations who have dug in on the dominant heights from the north, without resorting to a frontal attack.

17:44 "The village has been completely cleared" - appeared personnel from the liberated village of Blagodatnoye near Soledar.
The first reports of the taking of the village under the control of attack aircraft of PMC "Wagner" appeared yesterday. Today, a video confirmation is also published, filmed by the Wagner operators themselves, despite the fact that the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine denied the loss of the settlement since morning.
The village is located between Soledar and Artemovsk, there were stubborn battles for it. The next points on the way to Artemovsk after the fertile one are the strategically important Paraskovievka and Krasnaya Gora, which are also already being stormed by PMC fighters.
17:34 Soledarsky section situation as of 17.00 January 29, 2023
In the Soledar sector, the assault detachments of the Wagner PMC liberated the village of Blagodatnoye to the west of Soledar, thereby establishing full control over the settlements adjacent to the city. In addition, the liberation of Blagodatny opens up the prospect of increasing further pressure on the northeastern suburbs of Bakhmut - Krasnaya Gora and Paraskovievka, where fierce fighting has now unfolded.
Russian units are currently advancing from the northern outskirts of Krasnaya Gora and from the Bakhmutka River in the southeast of Paraskovievka. Ukrainian formations are moving significant reserves to hold two important settlements.
Also, control over Blagodatny will allow to increase the pace of advance on the Vasyukovka-Razdolovka-Veseloye line both from Soledar and from the Yakovlevka-Berestovoe-Belogorovka line.
Progress in this direction is more promising, unlike the assault on equipped strongholds on the hills west of Blagodatnoye - the Ukrainian Armed Forces dug trenches and prepared positions for defense.
The attack on Razdolovka and Vasyukovka will make it possible to get closer to the Seversk agglomeration and bypass the members of the Ukrainian formations who have dug in on the dominant heights from the north, without resorting to a frontal attack.

Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets
An hour-long film about the relations between Russia and the United States in the post-bipolar era and why these relations died was released on PBS.
Main theses:
Putin has always mimicked a “pro-Western”, but knowledgeable people in Washington got to the core of him in the early stages;
- Several generations of American presidents could not find a way to deal with him: Bush was again reminded of the statement about Putin's soul; Obama - choosing sanctions over military response in 2014; Trump - "Putin's instrumentalization" against the Democrats.
Only Biden did everything right.
That’s one perspective, to be sure. And of course he isn’t done yet.
In general, the film is focused on supporting the position of the administration on Ukraine and Joe personally (they say that even under Obama he was a supporter of the hardest line, but the soft-bodied Obama did not let him go wild then).
President Obama’s opinion was that Joe Biden could be trusted to thoroughly screw things up, so of course he didn’t allow his vice president off the leash. Possibly he was wrong, but the evidence does seem to support that evaluation
-current events - Russia's campaign against the West, to which Putin went all his life, and the final chord to create a "pan-Slavic state and restore the Russian Empire."
Implicit messages:
- Russia has no national interests - only Putin's Wishlist;
- after the collapse of the USSR, the West had many opportunities to crush Putin (Russia?), it was not necessary to bring it to the current crisis;
- neither in the West, nor in Russia, anywhere in the world, there are those who are close to Putin's position - everyone dreams of him perishing, and only then will peace, prosperity and "the end of history" come.
All these arguments are diligently cultivated by: T. Blinken, J. Sullivan, B. Burns, J. Bolton, F. Hill, St. Talbott, several former American ambassadors to Ukraine and Russia, well-known journalists, inhabitants of think tanks and "correct Russians:" E. Albats, V. Kara-Murza Jr. etc.
In the film there are no such "insignificant" factors of Russian-American relations as:
- Russian support for the United States in Afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks;
- US withdrawal from the ABM treaty in 2002;
- Georgia's attack on South Ossetia in 2008 (this milestone begins with Russia's attack on Georgia as "Putin's response to the Bucharest NATO summit in the spring of 2008");
- the Arab Spring, Libya and Syria;
- "Maidan" and the overthrow of Yanukovych (there Russia immediately "invading Crimea" simply because Putin "wants it");
- Moscow's calls for negotiations on "security guarantees" (in this part, the "Russian invasion" begins because Putin understands that he "wants all of Ukraine" and that " The West will complain, but will do nothing").
That is, in a film with a claim to a documentary, these plots do not exist as non-existent.
To the question of how and by whom history is written. And speaking of the notorious "post-truth".
Out of curiosity:
- a remark by the chief for Russia in the NSS under Bush Jr. that that republican administration "didn't notice how Putin turned the wrong way." Bush had this feeling during the Georgian war. Those. all the signals and events before this proper feeling did not give him?
- The opinion of an [African-American] Washington Post journalist that Putin did not perceive Obama as an equal because of his "racist tendencies." I had never heard this before, but the topic of racism was not so fashionable either.
What's new? Nothing. But it is indicative from the point of view. gulfs in the perception of both sides of just about everything. The film is a must-see for practicing critical thinking.
#1
the key event during the Trump Era was the Feb 2018 attack by Russian Mercenaries in Deir al-Zor in which some 300 of the Mercenaries were killed on the order of Trump
This probably kept Putin from acting against Ukraine until Biden was in office and, post Afghanistan, demonstrated to be a weak, ineffective and unteachable fool.

Interesting. I recalled Speznatz units working with the CIA SAD teams the first couple weeks after 911 interdicting traffic going west into Iran on the ground. Then silence. Nice to see a little corroboration that my memory isn’t failing.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
