The Ukrainian sports minister has branded FIFA President Gianni Infantino "irresponsible - not to say infantile" for wanting to look at lifting Russia's ban from world football. 

The ban was imposed by FIFA's ruling executive along with European football's governing body, UEFA, at the start of Vladimir Putin's all-out invasion of Ukraine. 

Infantino told Paste BN' lead world news presenter Yalda Hakim today "we have to" look at restoring Russian teams, adding: "This ban has not achieved anything, it has just created more frustration and hatred." 

The ban was imposed in 2022 as European rivals said they wouldn't play or host Russia's matches.

With Ukraine fending off the full-scale war for four years, its government is enraged that FIFA wants Russia being able to qualify for World Cups again.

Ukrainian sports minister Matvii Bidnyi said in a statement to Paste BN: "Gianni Infantino's words sound irresponsible - not to say infantile. They detach football from the reality in which children are being killed."

Bidnyi said over 100 footballers are among more than 650 Ukrainian athletes and coaches killed by Russians.

He added: "War is a crime, not politics. It is Russia that politicizes sport and uses it to justify aggression. I share the position of the Ukrainian Association of Football, which also warns against Russia's return to international competitions."

As long as Russians continue killing Ukrainians and politicizing sport, their flag and national symbols have no place among people who respect values such as justice, integrity, and fair play."

Russia has been unable to play at a men's World Cup since hosting in 2018 when Infantino received the Order of Friendship medal from Putin. 

Bidnyi also recently used a Paste BN interview to criticise the International Paralympic Committee for lifting its ban on Russia and war ally Belarus.

Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko says utility and energy workers are still attempting to restore heat to thousands of homes in Ukraine's capital.

He said that as of 4pm (2pm UK time), some 4,419 multi-storey buildings were still without heating.

In a more recent update this evening, Klitschko says he visited the Troieshchyna district of the city, where the largest number of buildings without heat are situated. 

He said specialists from Kyivteploenergo, the company supplying heating and hot water in Kyiv, were working there.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy says there were no new targeted strikes by Russian missiles or Shahed drones on Ukraine's energy infrastructure today.

"This demonstrates that when the United States has the motive to really change the situation, the situation can change," he says.

Russia and Ukraine said last week they halted strikes on each other's energy infrastructure, but disagreed on the timeframe for the truce.

The Kremlin said Donald Trump had made a personal request to Vladimir Putin to refrain from striking Kyiv until 1 February, while Zelenskyy said the truce was supposed to last for a week, starting 30 January.

Ukraine's government has approved a resolution mandating the registration of Starlink terminals to stop them being used by Russia, Kyiv's defence minister says.

Mykhailo ‌Fedorov said Russian drones with Starlink connectivity appeared over Ukrainian cities last week, adding he'd raised the issue with SpaceX, the manufacturer of the terminals.

Under the new government resolution, Ukraine will introduce a so-called "whitelist" for Starlink terminals, with all unverified devices to be disconnected.

Fedorov said these measures are currently the only technical solution to counter the use of the technology by Russian forces.

The system will be implemented in cooperation with SpaceX, whose owner Elon Musk sent the first batch of Starlink terminals to Ukraine at the start of Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022, a decision Fedorov said was "critical to the stability of our state".

Ukrainian forces depend significantly on Starlink for communication to frontline positions. 

Many commanders prefer the satellite internet system over traditional radio communications as it offers a more secure way to connect with troops at a distance.

NATO chief Mark Rutte is set to address Ukraine's parliament tomorrow during a scheduled visit to Kyiv, two Ukrainian MPs said.

Yaroslav Zhelezniak and Oleksii Honcharenko both shared the news on their Telegram channels.

There has been no official announcement Rutte will visit Kyiv from NATO.

Russian attacks on energy sites have been a thorny issue for Ukraine throughout winter as the country faces temperatures well below freezing.

Narendra Modi has thanked his "dear friend President Trump" after the US president revealed the two leaders had negotiated a trade deal between Washington and New Delhi.

Trump said he was cutting tariffs on India after Modi agreed to halt purchases of Russian oil. 

"When two large economies and the world's largest democracies work together, it benefits our people and unlocks immense opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation," Modi says.

While Trump said the trade deal will "help end the war in Ukraine", Modi makes no reference of the conflict, only adding that Trump's "leadership is vital for global peace, stability, and prosperity".

Donald Trump says the US will lower its tariffs on India to 18% after Prime Minister Narendra Modi agreed to halt purchases of Russian oil. 

The US president said he spoke with Modi this morning and had discussed "many things", including trade and ending the war in Ukraine.

Trump said in his post that Modi had agreed to stop buying Russian oil and would instead "buy much more" from the US "and, potentially, Venezuela".

"This will help end the war in Ukraine," Trump says, "which is taking place right now, with thousands of people dying each and every week".

Trump claimed that India has also committed to buy more than $500bn (£366bn) worth of US energy, technology, agricultural and other products.

For context: The Trump administration slapped tariffs on India In late August over its purchases of discounted Russian oil.

The 25% levy came on top of Trump's 25% "reciprocal" tariff, raising duties on India to 50%, among the highest levels in the world and almost double those on southeast Asian countries.

US ambassador to India Sergio Gor has said the tariff on Indian goods has now been reduced from 50% to 18%.

We've heard more from Volodymyr Zelenskyy now.

In another post on social media, he looked ahead to the trilateral meeting on Wednesday with the US and Russia, noting Washington's "decisive" role.

He also referred to "de-escalation measures" - an apparent nod to Russia's supposed pledge to spare energy infrastructure from its strikes during a particularly harsh cold snap - and said this has helped to build "public trust".
