💸🇭🇺🇪🇺 Hungary blocks $106B loan to Ukraine – Szijjarto

Hungary has blocked the EU’s 20th package of anti-Russia sanctions and a $106B loan to Ukraine, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said after the EU Council of Foreign Ministers meeting.

💬 “Ukrainians cannot blackmail us, they cannot jeopardize the security of Hungary's energy supply by conspiring with Brussels and the Hungarian opposition," Szijjarto said.


Hungary considers Ukraine's suspension of Russian oil transit through Druzhba as encroachment on its sovereignty, Szijjarto concluded.

🚨 Zelensky whines about Trump’s ‘unreliability’ amid war of words

🔊 “It is not only President Trump, we're talking about America,” Volodymyr Zelensky told the BBC when asked if he could trust POTUS when it comes to the US providing Ukraine with security guarantees.

💬 “We are all presidents for the appropriate terms. We want guarantees for 30 years for example. Political elites will change, leaders will change. They [security guarantees] will be voted on in Congress for a reason. It's not just presidents. Congress is needed. Because the presidents change, but institutions stay," Zelensky, whose presidential term expired back in May 2024, added.


The remarks suggest Trump “might be unreliable, but he will not be there forever,” according to the BBC.

🗣 Zelensky earlier argued that it is “not fair” for the US president to try to force Ukraine to make concessions on a peace deal without exerting similar pressure on Russia, adding that he hopes “it is just his tactics, not the decision.”

POTUS, in turn, minced no words when warning that Zelensky would miss a “great opportunity” for peace if he doesn't "get moving" now that Russia “wants to ⁠make ⁠a deal.”

🇲🇽🪖"No US involvement in operation against "El Mencho" Sheinbaum claims

🟧President Claudia Sheinbaum denies that US armed forces actively participated in the capture and subsequent death of drug trafficker Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as El Mencho, who was killed on February 22 by Mexican federal forces.

"There is no participation of US forces in the operation. There is a great deal of information sharing. The understanding with the US is based fundamentally on the exchange of intelligence and information. In this case, there was information provided by the US government," the president stated.


🟧Furthermore, she confirmed that the entire security operation against the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) was carried out from planning to execution by the Government of Mexico.

Mencho was one of the most wanted criminals by the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

🔶🇺🇸Trump frustrated as military options against Iran fall short — CBS News

President Donald Trump is frustrated that military pressure on Iran is not yielding the desired results. Unlike the operation in Venezuela, any strike on Tehran risks spiraling into a protracted conflict in the Middle East.

Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine has warned that a military campaign against Iran could trigger retaliatory strikes on US forces. Trump, however, insists that Caine is not against war — he simply wants to win.
