Yesterday, while the world looked to Davos in expectation over the US-EU dispute about Greenland, two major moves in the Russia-Ukraine peace process took place.
First, US President Donald J. Trump had a talk with Kiev regime leader Volodymyr Zelensky, and later that night, US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met in Moscow with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
And while no sensational breakthroughs came out of these meetings, they were followed by a two-day peace conference in Abu Dhabi – and what’s more, for the first time, in a trilateral format, with delegations from the US, Russia, and Ukraine, plus the UAE hosts.

Reuters reported:
“Russian President Vladimir Putin’s demand that Ukraine surrender the 20% it still holds of the Donetsk region of the Donbas – about 5,000 sq km (1,900 sq miles) – has proven a major stumbling block to a breakthrough deal.
Zelenskiy refuses to give up land that Russia has not been able to capture in four years of grinding, attritional warfare.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday that Russia’s insistence on Ukraine yielding all of Donbas was ‘a very important condition’.”

The Russian side is reportedly floating the so-called ‘Anchorage formula’ that gets Ukraine to withdraw from Donbas and freeze the current front lines in the rest of the frontline.
Tomorrow, another round of talks will conclude the conference.

The average IQ of Somalia is 68.
23-year-old Nasra Ahmed played victim and claimed she suffered a concussion after she was kidnapped by ICE agents in Minnesota.
The Department of Homeland Security said Nasra Ahmed was arrested because she assaulted federal agents.
“Secretary Noem has been clear: anyone — including U.S. citizens — who assault law enforcement will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Assaulting law enforcement is a felony and a federal crime,” the DHS said in a statement.
The incident happened last week in the parking lot of an apartment complex.
Ahmed claimed that she was verbally abused and physically assaulted during the arrest. She spent two days in Sherburne County Jail.
Nasra Ahmed held a press conference to talk about her arrest when she went on a bizarre (low IQ) rant about bananas and rice.
“I am proud to say that I’ve survived ICE,” Ahmed said during a presser on Wednesday. “I’m proud to say that I stood up for what is right! And people are saying — many people are saying, including my family and friends that I will go down in history! And I will carry this on my shoulders! Here I am! Speaking in front of everyone and there’s cameras recording me and everyone is watching me right now!”
“I got kidnapped by ICE. They came to my neighborhood, they took me, arrested me, and detained me for two days. An ICE agent called me a racial slur,” she said.
“ICE asked to see my ID and decided it was nice to be racist and say really nasty things to me. They pushed me hard, they used a lot of violence, I got a concussion. I was screaming, I was crying, I was so scared. I’ve never been arrested in my life,” she said.
“I’m proud to be Somali. To me, being Somali isn’t just eating bananas with rice — It’s a lot. It’s an interesting thing. It’s very hard to describe what it means to be Somali and what it means to be American but it’s like a cultural fusion. It’s kind of like the bananas and rice, you know?” she said.
“People think you could eat bananas with rice,” she said.

All three Minnesota church protestors have now been released from federal custody.
A federal magistrate judge on Friday ordered the release of William Kelly, the far-left agitator who stormed a St. Paul church and harassed parishioners on Sunday.
William Kelly was arrested and charged with conspiracy to deprive rights, a federal crime, and violating the FACE Act 18 USC 248 for his involvement in the St. Paul church riots.
Kelly was wearing his signature “F*ck Trump” beanie when he was taken into custody.

Kelly, a well-known leftist agitator, charged into Cities Church on Sunday as Don Lemon livestreamed the crime.
He got in the face of parishioners and shouted down the pastor.
Kelly later compared storming the church to Jesus flipping over tables in the Temple.
Worshippers and children were absolutely terrified as William Kelly, BLM activist Nikema Armstrong, and Don Lemon interrupted the service and shouted down the pastor.

After storming the church, William Kelly taunted Bondi.
“Yesterday, I went into a church with Nekima Armstrong, and I protested these white supremacists!” he said. “The pastor of the church is a f*cking ICE leader in the city?!”
“They want to come after me? F*ck em!” he said. “F*ck those f*cking Nazis! Come and get me, Pam Bondi! You f*cking traitorous b*tch!”

Kilmar Abrego Garcia and attorneys confronted by Ben Bergquam outside of the Baltimore ICE Field Office
Real America’s Voice correspondent Ben Bergquam spotted the left’s favorite MS-13 gang member, Kilmar Abrego Garcia of El Salvador, in Baltimore, Maryland, on Friday and confronted him on his cartel ties as a Maryland judge weighs his fate in America.
Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien criminal with MS-13 ties, was previously deported last year to his home country of El Salvador while residing in Maryland. However, the Trump Administration was ordered by leftist judges to bring him back to the United States.
He is now fighting to remain in the United States.
Democrats and the mainstream media have glorified Abrego Garcia as a “Maryland man,” who was “kidnapped” by the Trump Administration and El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Obama appointed Judge Paula Xinis last month ordered the “immediate release” of Garcia, arguing that he had been detained without lawful authority.
Now, his fate is expected to be decided by Xinis next month.
Fox 5 reported last week.

In a brief 20-minute hearing with Garcia’s lawyers and DOJ attorneys, Judge Paula Xinis said she wants to hear arguments on whether Garcia’s 2019 order of removal became final in January of last year.
That could change the calculus of whether to allow the government to re-detain him.
Xinis said after she hears arguments on that narrow issue, she will issue a decision by February 12, barring unforeseen circumstances.
Xinis reiterated that her current order blocking the government from re-detaining Garcia for deportation remains in place.

Bergquam found Garcia walking out of the ICE Field Office with his attorneys in Baltimore on Friday and confronted him with questions.
Bergquam wrote on X:
Ran into a Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a.k.a. the “Maryland Man” leaving the Baltimore #ICE Field Office after a ride with #ICE this morning. Any questions you think I missed?
Also, isn’t it funny how the left abandoned him now that they have their new “victim” to peddle in Renee Good!
Garcia should never have been allowed back in our country. The sooner we deport him for good the better!
Bergquam asked Garcia whether he is also a member of the South American drug cartel 18th Street Gang, also known as Barrio 18, in addition to being MS-13. He further asked who gave him the “Maryland man” moniker, how many crimes he had committed, and which country he expects to be deported to.
WATCH:

Bergquam: Garcia, are you? Ms-13 or Barrio 18? Ms-13 or Barrio 18? What do you think about the leftists that are protecting you in America?
Who named you a Maryland man? Was that your choice, or is that the media? How many additional crimes have you committed that you haven’t been prosecuted for? What country are they going to send you to, Garcia?
These attorneys think they’re noble protecting a criminal scumbag, illegal.
