Ungarn wirft Ukraine Wahleinmischung vor – Kiew bestellt Botschafter ein

BERLINER ZEITUNG: Ungarn beschuldigt die Ukraine, sich in die bevorstehenden Parlamentswahlen einmischen zu wollen. Kiew spricht von „antiukrainischer Rhetorik“.

Das ukrainische Außenministerium hat nach eigenen Angaben am Donnerstag den ungarischen Botschafter Antal Geyser einbestellt, um gegen Behauptungen der ungarischen Regierung zu protestieren. Budapest hatte der Ukraine vorgeworfen, sich in die bevorstehenden Parlamentswahlen einzumischen, was die Ukraine zurückweist. Dem Diplomaten wurde mitgeteilt, dass die Ukraine es ablehne, von ungarischer Seite in den dortigen Wahlkampf hineingezogen zu werden, teilte das ukrainische Außenministerium mit. Ungarn werde aufgefordert, seine „aggressive antiukrainische Rhetorik“ einzustellen, um negative Folgen für das Verhältnis der beiden Nachbarländer zu vermeiden, hieß es. » | Anika Schlünz | Mittwoch, 28.

Why Trump Sides with Putin | The David Frum Show

Jan 21, 2026 | On this week’s episode of “The David Frum Show,” The Atlantic’s David Frum examines one of the most consequential deceptions of the Trump presidency: the insistence that grocery prices are falling when Americans know from lived experience that they are not. David explains how tariffs and trade policy are deliberately driving food costs higher, why Trump keeps lying about it, and how breaking this promise strikes at the core of the fragile trust between voters and government.

Then David is joined by Fiona Hill, a former adviser to three U.S. presidents and a key witness in Trump’s first impeachment, to analyze how Vladimir Putin sees the world and why Trump remains so drawn to strongman power. Frum and Hill discuss Putin’s long game in Ukraine, Trump’s archaic and backward worldview, and how Trump’s presidency has been a gift to Putin while steadily eroding American credibility abroad.

Finally, David closes the episode with a discussion of “Among the Believers,” by V. S. Naipaul, reflecting on the Iranian Revolution and why authoritarian regimes repeatedly fail at modernity.

„Trump nimmt Venezuela, und wir die Ukraine“: So blickt Russland auf den Angriff auf Venezuela

BERLINER ZEITUNG: Moskau verurteilt die US-Operation in Venezuela, doch Militäranalysten und Blogger loben ihre Effizienz und ziehen unbequeme Vergleiche zur Ukraine.

Nach der nächtlichen Militäroperation gegen Venezuelas Staatschef Nicolás Maduro reagiert das offizielle Moskau bekannt kühl. Das russische Außenministerium verurteilte den amerikanischen Einsatz als „Akt bewaffneter Aggression“ und sprach von „tiefer Besorgnis“. Wichtig sei nun, so die diplomatische Formel im Außenministerium, eine weitere Eskalation zu verhindern und einen Ausweg „durch Dialog“ zu finden.

Lateinamerika müsse eine „Zone des Friedens“ bleiben, Venezuela das Recht haben, sein Schicksal selbst zu bestimmen. „Wir bekräftigen unsere Solidarität mit dem venezolanischen Volk und unsere Unterstützung für den Kurs seiner bolivarischen Führung, der darauf abzielt, die nationalen Interessen und die Souveränität des Landes zu schützen“, zitiert die staatliche Nachrichtenagentur Tass das russische Außenamt. Moskau unterstütze die Erklärung der venezolanischen Behörden und der Staats- und Regierungschefs der lateinamerikanischen Länder, die eine sofortige Sitzung des UN-Sicherheitsrates fordern. Russland, heißt es weiter in Moskau, sei bereit, Vermittlungsbemühungen zwischen Caracas und Washington zu unterstützen. » | Nicolas Butylin | Samstag, 3. Januar 2026

Was für ein Zeitalter! Es ist ein Zeitalter des Überflusses in vielerlei Hinsicht. Gier ohne Ende, ganz sicher. Und auch ein Zeitalter der Gesetzlosigkeit. Heutzutage greift man sich einfach, was man will! Wenn man es greifen kann, gehört es einem! Wir kehren zu einer Welt zurück, die dem Wilden Westen unweigerlich ähnelt! Putin wollte die Ukraine, also schnappte er sich alles, was er kriegen konnte, und versucht immer noch mehr zu schnappen. Jetzt schnappt sich Trump Venezuela. Warum? Ganz einfach, weil er es will, wegen seines Ölreichtums. Als Nächstes werden Grönland, Kuba, Kanada und Kolumbien in sein Visier geraten. Das Gesetz des Dschungels hat die Oberhand schon gewonnen! — © Mark Alexander

Trump Takes Orders from Putin over War in Ukraine, as Russia Pushes Propaganda Plan upon President

Dec 30, 2025 | Donald Trump claims he can end the war in Ukraine—but the optics and timing of recent events tell a far more troubling story. As Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy traveled to Florida for critical peace talks, Trump publicly highlighted a phone call with Vladimir Putin, positioning himself as the central power broker while Russia escalated threats and spread disinformation. In this video, we break down how Russia’s sudden claim of a foiled drone attack on Putin’s residence fits a familiar pattern of information warfare, why Zelenskyy has warned of imminent strikes on Kyiv’s government buildings, and how Trump’s personalized, optics-driven diplomacy risks pressuring Ukraine rather than confronting Russian aggression.

EU Leaders Meet in Brussels to Discuss Russian Assets | BBC News

Dec 18, 2025 | European Union leaders are gathering for a Brussels summit where a momentous decision will be taken on whether to loan Ukraine tens of billions of euros in frozen Russian assets to fund its military and economic needs.

Most of Russia's €210bn (£185bn; $245bn) worth of assets in the EU are held by Belgium-based organisation Euroclear, and so far Belgium and some other members of the bloc have said they are opposed to using the cash.

Without a boost in funding, Ukraine's finances are set to run dry in a matter of months.

Russia has warned the EU against using its money, and has filed a lawsuit against Euroclear in a Moscow court in a bid to get its money back.
