Secretary of State Rubio told European allies that the US will keep sanctions on Russia in place at least until a deal to end the Ukraine conflict is reached, even as his boss, Trump, said he’ll probably meet Putin to discuss a settlement before the end of February

"Sweden-based small modular reactor (SMR) developer Blykalla has been selected for funding under a European Union programme which will give the company €15m ($15.6m) equity investment and a €2.5m grant.

The funding has been awarded under the European Innovation Council’s (EIC) accelerator programme in what Blykalla said was “the most competitive funding round ever” with awards granted to only 5% of applicants.

According to the EIC, funding is awarded to “develop and scaleup innovations with the potential to create or disrupt markets”.

Blykalla chief executive officer Jacob Steadman said the funding validates the potential of the company’s Sealer reactor technology and accelerates its mission to develop Europe’s first advanced SMR.

The company said the funding would “significantly de-risk” its next phase of development.

Earlier this month Blykalla broke ground on its advanced reactor testing facility at the Oskarshamn nuclear site to the south of Stockholm.

The facility will house an electrical Sealer-E prototype reactor and aims to validate critical components and safety systems for a future nuclear plant. The pilot plant will not use nuclear fuel."

The #EU must lead. The free world’s next move is critical

⚠️ Meanwhile, Russia has launched dozens of drones at Ukraine — air alerts have been ongoing for several hours in 14 regions.

In Kyiv, air defense systems are active. In Odesa, explosions continue. The city is experiencing power outages. Local media report that a hospital has been damaged.

This is terror. Putin is not seeking peace — he is waging a relentless campaign of destruction and death. Yet, Ukraine is not only defending itself; it is standing as the shield of Europe, holding the line against an aggression that threatens the entire democratic world. We must remain united to stop this terror and ensure a just peace.🇺🇦💪
