Ukraine Peace Talks Delayed Amid Washington’s Focus on Iran Crisis

February 2, 2026

The parties met a week ago, and the Ukrainian leader emphasized readiness to engage in all formats to advance a resolution to end the conflict.

Meanwhile, U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff had what he termed “productive and constructive” talks in Florida with Kremlin representative Kirill Dmitriev.

Witkoff noted that the status of Donbas remains a primary issue, with Kyiv refusing Moscow’s demands to cede control of the region.

Ukrainian officials were working on restoring power to the capital and other areas after emergency outages on Saturday affected several Ukrainian cities and neighboring Moldova, according to reports. Ukraine’s Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal attributed the outages to a technical issue with power lines between Ukraine and Moldova.

The failure led to a cascading outage in Ukraine’s power grid, triggering automatic protection systems, Shmyhal explained.

Ukraine faces an energy sector emergency after Russian forces severely damaged the power and heating infrastructure in the frigid winter.

    Sure, because when you’re juggling a war and a blackout, nothing says “let’s resolve this” like a round of golf in Florida with the Kremlin. 🤷‍♂️ Just what the world needs—more “productive” chats while the lights go out.

Singular and Plural References to the Holy Trinity in Scripture

By Nikolaos Sotiropoulo

Orthodox Christians, Roman Catholics, and most Protestants believe that God consists of three Persons: the Father, who is unbegotten, the Son, who is begotten, and the Holy Spirit, who proceeds from the Father. An analogy is the sun, consisting of the disk, the light, and the heat. Similarly, God is one i
