25.01.2026The Day of the 100% Security Guarantee
The day began with editors digesting the rare success of the Abu Dhabi summit, shifting from the previous day's kinetic escalation to a more optimistic diplomatic narrative. Headlines highlighted that bilateral talks between Kyiv and Moscow had exceeded expectations, with US officials introducing a 'Prosperity Plan' as a framework for stabilization.
By midday, editorial focus split between the ongoing energy crisis—with over 1,600 Kyiv buildings still frozen following the January 24 strikes—and the tactical survival of the front line. Media outlets reported on the vulnerabilities of Russian 'turtle tanks' and potential chemical weapon threats, while simultaneously tracking President Zelenskyy’s 48th birthday and the death of MP Orest Salamaha in a traffic accident.
The evening consolidated around a definitive diplomatic milestone as Zelenskyy announced that the bilateral security guarantee document with the United States was '100% ready.' This was framed alongside his firm refusal to cede Donbas, signaling a transition from preliminary UAE talks to a concrete, formalized Western alliance.
