The high-stakes poker game over east Ukraine continued on Monday, with US officials floating the idea of sending lethal military assistance to the government in Kiev, while Russia-backed separatists announced a plan to mobilise a 100,000-strong army.
The US secretary of state, John Kerry, is due in Kiev on Thursday, and while no major announcements are expected this week he will use the visit to take the temperature in the Ukrainian capital as the US administration weighs up the move.

Стоимость европейских сортов нефти Brent и Urals закрепилась выше уровня $50 за баррель. Росту котировок способствовали сообщения о том, что в США наблюдается остановка буровых установок, что приведет к снижению объемов добычи нефти в стране. Участники валютного рынка слабо отреагировали на рост нефтяных цен: курс доллара снизился до 68,50 руб./$, евро — до 78 руб./€.
В результате роста, произошедшего в пятницу, цены на европейские сорта нефти после четырехнедельного перерыва поднялись выше уровня $50 за баррель. В понедельник стоимость североморской Brent на спот-рынке, по данным Bloomberg, закрепилась на уровне $53,55 за баррель. Это почти на 5,5% выше закрытия пятницы. Стоимость российской Urals поднялась до $53,2 за баррель. За два дня цены на европейские сорта нефти выросли на 12–14%.
Росту цен на нефть способствовали сообщения о снижении числа работающих буровых установок в США, означающее сокращение добычи в будущем. Американские нефтяные компании остановили 94 буровые установки на прошлой неделе, что стало рекордным снижением числа работающих установок, сообщила нефтесервисная компания Baker Hughes. Теперь работающих установок на 24% меньше по сравнению с рекордным количеством в октябре.
«Добыча нефти в сланцевых бассейнах непременно снизится, так как более слабые производители с повышенной себестоимостью останавливают работу. Это дает нам основание прогнозировать, что цены в этом году поднимутся, и Brent будет стоить в среднем $60 за баррель»,— говорится в отчете банка Nomura.
Повышение цен на нефть умеренно позитивно сказалось на российском валютном рынке. К 14:10 курс доллара на торгах Московской биржи опустился до отметки 68,50 руб./$, что на 1,9 руб. ниже закрытия пятницы. К 17:30 курс стабилизировался возле отметки 68,80 руб./$. Курс евро к этому времени опустился на 1,5 руб., до 78 руб./€.
Виталий Гайдаев
Почему в США падает количество работающих буровых установок
31 января энергетическая компания Chevron объявила о прекращении разведки сланцевого газа в Польше. Ранее разведку сланцевого газа в Польше также прекратили такие компании, как Exxon Mobil и Total. Тем временем в США была прекращена работа на 94 буровых установках, а за последние два месяца — на 352. При нынешних ценах на нефть добыча на некоторых американских скважинах уже перестала приносить прибыль. Читайте подробнее

With rebels having seized extra 200 square miles of territory, US’s leaking of talks about sending weapons to Kiev may be Obama’s way of warning Putin to back off
The public disclosure that the US is considering supplying lethal weaponry to Ukraine in its battle with Russian-backed separatists reflects heightened American concern that Moscow is intent on carving out an expanded, economically viable enclave in eastern Ukraine that could in time declare itself an independent state.
Vladimir Putin, Russia’s president, pursued this policy in Georgia after the 2008 war, when he encouraged separatists in the breakaway republics of Abkhazia and South Ossetia to proclaim their independence from Tbilisi. Pro-Moscow forces in Transnistria, legally part of Moldova, have taken a similar path.

Northeast US Braces for Second Major Snowstormby webdesk@voanews.com (Reuters)
A huge storm headed on Monday for the northeastern United States, the region's second wintry blast in less than a week, after dumping more than a foot (30 cm) of snow in the Chicago area. Forecasts ranged from 3 to 6 inches (8 to 15 cm) of snow in New York City, where millions of commuters faced freezing rain during the morning rush hour, to a foot (30 cm) for Boston. Winter will be sticking around for at least six more weeks, according to Monday's forecast provided by groundhog Punxsutawney Phil who emerged from his burrow in Pennsylvania and saw his shadow. According to legend, seeing his shadow means six more weeks of winter, while not seeing his shadow means cold weather is on its way out. Official forecasters said snow was expected to fall on Monday at a rate of 1 to 2 inches (3 to 5 cm) per hour in southern New England at its peak, making for extremely hazardous driving conditions. Significant accumulations from Albany, New York, to Maine will be exacerbated by winds of up to 40 miles per hour (65 kph), the National Weather Service said. Bitter cold weather was predicted to follow the snow on its eastward path across the country. Last week, Boston was buried under 2 feet (60 cm) of snow on Tuesday in a blizzard that pummeled New England. New York City had prepared for a major storm but was spared the brunt. Monday's snow forced the closing of schools from the Midwest to New England. Chicago Public Schools, the country's third-largest public school system, along with districts in Detroit, Boston and Providence, Rhode Island, canceled classes as the National Weather Service issued storm warnings and watches from western Iowa into upper New England. The storm figured in cancelations of about 2,000 flights and 2,100 delays, largely in Chicago, according to the Flight Stats website. Nearly 20,000 customers in Illinois lost power, and hazardous road conditions were reported in the Midwest.

How Putin Managed to Dodge the Blame for Russia's Recessionby By Ivan Nechepurenko
The economy may be in serious trouble, but Russians continue to trust and support President Vladimir Putin, and analysts say this is because he represents the focal point of the "symbolic unity" of the Russian nation.
A social media account linked to the Chechen-led faction Jaish al-Muhajireen wal-Ansar (JMA), which considers itself to be the Syrian affiliate of the North Caucasus militant group the Caucasus Emirate, has accused the Islamic State (IS) group of using inexperienced young recruits as "cannon fodder."
Russia's federal Space Agency has suspended a Russian-Ukrainian joint venture tasked with converting Soviet-era nuclear missiles into peaceful rockets for commercial satellite launches, the TASS news agency reported on Monday.

U.S. President Barack Obama said Sunday he has personally watched the graphic videos of Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) hostages being executed, saying they have helped catalyze the global community’s revulsion to the militant jihadist organization.
In an interview with NBC’s Savannah Guthrie airing Monday on Today Show, Obama said watching the videos has affected him personally. On Saturday, the U.S. government confirmed the authenticity of a video showing the beheading of Japanese journalist Kenji Goto.
“I think it’s fair to say that, anything related to these terrorist actions, I take a look at,” Obama said. “I think it would affect anybody who has an ounce of humanity. And it’s part of the reason why I think we’ve been so successful in organizing such a broad-based coalition.”
Referencing an American woman still being held by ISIS, Obama said the U.S. is doing anything possible to secure her release.
“Well, what we can say is that, as has been true of all the hostages, that we are deploying all the assets that we can, working with all the coalition allies that we can, to identify her location,” he said. “And we are in very close contact with the family trying to keep them updated.”
Hours after Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Dr. Tom Frieden warned of the potential of a “large outbreak” of measles following increasing reports of the disease, Obama called on all parents to vaccinate their children.
“Measles is preventable,” Obama told Guthrie. “And I understand that there are families that, in some cases, are concerned about the effect of vaccinations. The science is, you know, pretty indisputable. We’ve looked at this again and again. There is every reason to get vaccinated, but there aren’t reasons to not.”
“You should get your kids vaccinated,” Obama continued. “It’s good for them and the challenge you have is if you have a certain group of kids who don’t get vaccinated, and if it grows large enough that a percentage of the population doesn’t get vaccinated and they’re the folks who can’t get vaccinated, small infants, for example, or people with certain vulnerabilities that can’t vaccinated, they suddenly become much more vulnerable.”

Instead, a noisy protest outside the venue ramped up into an attempt to storm the building, students in the lecture theatre heckled the Israeli diplomat, and it became impossible for him to begin. With feelings running high, university security said they could no longer guarantee the speaker’s safety. The event had to be abandoned.
