22.01.2026The Day of the Trilateral UAE Proposal
The morning headlines were dominated by diplomatic positioning ahead of the Davos summit, with media outlets tracking the arrival of President Zelenskyy to meet President Trump. Early reporting focused on Trump’s recent interest in Greenland and his proposal for a duty-free trade zone for Ukraine as potential economic leverage.
By early afternoon, editors pivoted to the outcome of the hour-long meeting between the two leaders, which both sides characterized as positive. The central development emerged in the late afternoon when Zelenskyy announced a forthcoming trilateral peace summit in the UAE involving Ukraine, Russia, and the United States.
As the evening progressed, the focus shifted back to a domestic crisis. Prime Minister Shmyhal reported the energy grid’s most critical failure since November 2022 following continued strikes and extreme frost. Concurrently, headlines noted the arrival of U.S. envoys Witkoff and Kushner at the Kremlin, signaling the start of a direct American channel to Vladimir Putin.
