Ukraine war today: Secret service captures Russian soldier accused of killing prisoners of war
- Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) has captured a Russian soldier accused of allegedly shooting and killing nine Ukrainian prisoners of war in Kursk oblast in October 2024, Volodymyr Zelensky said.
- Russia is watching with glee as US president Donald Trump's threats to take control of Greenland widen a split with his European allies – the Kremlin said Trump would "go down in history" if he took control of Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory.
- Volodymyr Zelensky will reportedly not go to Davos following a large-scale strike on Kyiv, as he insists the US can do more to stop Vladimir Putin. The Ukrainian president has prioritised staying in the capital over the World Economic Forum.
- Russia is preparing for more strikes on Ukraine’s energy facilities, including those that ensure smooth operations of nuclear power plants, Ukrainian energy minister Denys Shmyhal said.
- Donald Trump has said his European counterparts should focus their attentions on the war in Ukraine rather than his attempts to seize control of Greenland from Denmark.
