Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk ruled out sending Polish troops to Ukraine earlier today before he left for the snap European security summit hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris, France. This comes after Keir Starmer, prime minister of the UK, communicated his willingness to send British troops to Ukraine yesterday. Prime Minister Tusk did, however, commit to continue to provide the logistic and humanitarian support that Poland has long sent to Ukraine and promised to continue to be a key thoroughfare for aid and support efforts for European countries into Ukraine.

2 U.S. Air Force B-52H Long-Range Strategic Bombers launched from RAF Fairford, as well as at least 4 KC-135R Aerial-Refueling Tankers launched from RAF Mildenhall, are currently crossing the Mediterranean near Italy, heading in the direction of the Middle…
After arriving in the Middle East earlier this morning, the U.S. Air Force B-52s were briefly denied access to Egyptian Airspace, before being approved and proceeding to carry out an Exercise over Jordan, likely alongside the Royal Jordanian Air Force (RJAF). The Long-Range Strategic Bombers then crossed into Iraq and over the Persian Gulf, flying along the Border with Iran, in an apparent “Show of Force.” We will likely see a Statement from U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) soon.

Lots of confusion and disinformation concerning the deployment of 11 Green Berets from the U.S. Army’s 7th Special Forces Group to Mexico to cross train with the Mexican Navy’s (SEMAR) Special Operations Forces. The U.S. operators, who arrived today, are in Mexico to train Mexican Naval Special Forces at the Specialized Training Center of the Marine Infantry in San Luis Carpizo, Campeche until March 30, 2025. All reports that these units are in Mexico to actively fight the cartel are false. Additionally, bilateral military cooperation between Mexico and the U.S. is extremely common and such training exchanges take place rather often.

Huge thanks to @natsecboogie on X for help on some of the sourcing.

According to Kaitlyn Collins, citing an unnamed senior official in the Trump administration, Russia will release Kalob Wayne Byers, an American who has been detained for around a week. Byers was detained for allegedly having marijuana-laced marmalade and/or gummies at an airport in Moscow on February 7. His release, not yet known to be part of any exchange, could be seen as an attempt by Russian decision-makers to soften the tone of the now imminent Russo-American negotiations on the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War in Saudi Arabia.

The head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), Kirill Dmitriev, who is part of the Russian delegation sent to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for talks with the U.S., has said that he has already met with people in the U.S. delegation. No word on what exactly was discussed outside of increased economic cooperation between the U.S. and Russia.
Given Dmitriev’s position, it’s highly likely that the topic of direct U.S. sanctions on the RDIF and adjacent financial matters affected by U.S. sanctions was at least touched on during his meeting with U.S. decision-makers.
