Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that he had "no doubt" Moscow would emerge victorious in Ukraine, despite military setbacks in the nearly year-long offensive, reported Al Jazeera. The statement comes as Ukraine grapples with the loss of its interior minister in a deadly helicopter crash. He told the war veterans Russia was fighting in Ukraine to defend ethnic Russians and Russian speakers, who Moscow alleges are subject to systematic discrimination in Ukraine. Russia has said talks are possible only if Ukraine recognises Moscow's claims to Ukrainian territory in the country's east and south. Kyiv says it will fight until Russia withdraws all of its troops from the country, reported Al Jazeera.

Prem Rakshith's hook step, Zelensky's palace and 'Naatu Naatu'

Hyderabad, Jan 12 After bagging the Golden Globe award, 'Naatu Naatu' has become the latest craze but few people know about the hard work which has gone behind the song from Rajamouli's historical epic drama, 'RRR'. They all put in their best as Rajamouli wanted to film a mass song on Junior NTR and Ram Charan. This was despite the fact that both Junior NTR and Ram Charan are known as best dancers in Tollywood. Film analysts say that this shows the level of perfection Rajamouli wanted to see in this key component of his production. 'Naatu Naatu' was shot outside the Ukraine President's palace.

I-League: Mohammed Sporting, Aizawl FC share points after thrilling 2-2 draw

A brace each from Marcus Joseph and Henry Kisekka produced one of the best games of this season's I-League with Mohammedan Sporting holding Aizawl FC to a 2-2 draw at the Kishore Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata on Friday. After being through on goal, a heavy touch meant the ball went too far from the Ugandan and was collected by Mohammedan custodian Sankar Roy. But the visitors could not keep Marcus Joseph quiet for long. As the clock ticked past 101 minutes, the Black and White Brigade received a free-kick 35 yards from the goal. The shot took a deflection off a red shirt and found its way past a hapless Lalmuansanga in the Aizawl goal.

T20 World Cup: Delany, Stirling take Ireland to Super 12 with nine-wicket drubbing of West Indies

He then brought up the fifty of the opening partnership with an inside-out loft over cover-point for six. He found an able ally in Tucker, who survived a caught-behind appeal off Smith on a no-ball. Stirling gave a glimpse of his innovative stroke-play, moving across and scooping Joseph over short fine leg for four. Johnson Charles feasted on Curtis Campher's short balls, taking two fours and a six on three consecutive deliveries in the fourth over. With King unable to get the desired acceleration, Smith swung hard to hit a four and two sixes in his 19 not out off 12 balls, but was unable to push West Indies past 150-mark.

The US on Friday (local time) recognized "Wagner" PMC as a "transnational criminal organization," said White House spokesman John Kirby.
