❗️Putin just gave a BOMBSHELL PRESS CONFERENCE

Here’s what he said:

▪️Russia supports a 30-day ceasefire with Ukraine, but the key issue is what to do with the Ukrainian incursion in the Kursk region.

▪️He believes that, given the situation in Kursk, a ceasefire would be beneficial for Ukraine, as without it, they risk being physically blocked and left with only two options: surrender or die.

▪️Putin raised concerns about how the situation would be monitored if a ceasefire were declared: "How can we be guaranteed that nothing like this will happen?"

▪️He also highlighted other contentious issues along the front lines, where Russian forces are advancing on almost all fronts.

▪️Russia will negotiate the next steps for ending the conflict based on the situation on the ground.

▪️The president also said Ukraine might use the 30 days to continue forced mobilization and replenish its weapon supplies.

▪️The cessation of hostilities in Ukraine must lead to long-term peace and the resolution of the root causes of the crisis.

▪️Putin did not rule out discussing a ceasefire in Ukraine with US President Donald Trump, emphasizing that Ukraine should have urged the Americans to call for an end to hostilities, based on the situation on the ground.

Is NATO dead amid the US's dwindling support for Ukraine?

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte will meet with President Donald Trump today at the White House. The meeting is crucial for the former Dutch prime minister, who needs to prove the alliance is still relevant, according to media reports.

Since Trump became president, support for Ukraine has been decreasing. EU member states, such as France and the UK have been attempting to reorganize their defense spending by bypassing NATO and making direct deals.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump stated that he plans to discuss the conflict in Ukraine with Rutte, as he wants to end it.

📹 Trump says US representatives having very serious discussions in Russia at the moment, hopes Russia will agree to ceasefire 📌Subscribe to @SputnikInt
🗣 The US discusses with Ukraine "land and pieces of land that would be kept and lost, and all of the other elements of a final agreement," Trump said.

"There is a [Zaporozhye nuclear] power plant involved, a very big power plant involved. Who's going to get the power plant and who's going to get this and that?" he told reporters at the top of his meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in the Oval Office.

💸 Americans can do (crypto)-business

The Trump family is in talks to acquire a stake in Binance’s US branch, which could lead to the exchange’s return to the US market. The deal may include a pardon for Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, accused of financial crimes, the WSJ reports.

Binance, which is barred in the US, began exploring a return last year but faces legal challenges, including a lawsuit from the Securities and Exchange Commission. A pardon could help clear these hurdles, though it raises concerns about conflicts of interest between business and government. Trump has previously supported digital assets and self-positioned himself as the "first crypto president."

🔎 Could DOGE benefit from ‘Soros buddy' Schumer's gov't shutdown?

The threat of government shutdown once again looms over the US as Senate Democrats refused to vote on a funding bill.

As Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announced his party’s intent, quite a few social media users proceeded to savage him verbally online.

Some were quick to point out Schumer’s apparent ties with the family of infamous billionaire and political activist George Soros.

Yet there were also those who argued that shutdown may in fact help the Department of Government Efficiency by exposing the non-essential government services.

🗣 Ex-Pentagon analyst on Putin’s message: US can’t solve Ukraine’s peace with a magic wand

The “general message” Vladimir Putin is sending to the West and the US is that he does want to achieve a permanent peace with Ukraine, but that such a complicated task cannot be solved by the US simply snapping its fingers, USAF Ret. Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski says.
“Obviously, Trump's overtures and his real desire for peace is extremely rare among American presidents,” Kwiatkowski, a former US Department of Defense analyst, tells Sputnik.


“But past reactions of the Zelensky government when pressed have been dangerous, unpredictable, and terroristic in nature - including attacks to spill radiation in nuclear plants, and assassinations of both key Russian personnel like Lt General Kirillov and innocent civilians deep inside Russian territory.”


The United States, “with partnering Russia,” are the only ones capable of becoming a “guarantor for any ceasefire” because they are “the only parties with any respect or military power in this conflict,” Kwiatkowski suggests.

⚔️ Putin SHINES spotlight on HEROIC units liberating Russia's Kursk region

▪️In a bold move, the 'Akhmat' Special Forces, the 11th Airborne Brigade and the 'Veterans' Brigade, pulled off a surprise masterstroke, outflanking Ukrainian troops from the rear in Sudzha, cleverly using a gas pipeline as their secret pathway.

▪️The 56th, 76th, and 106th Airborne Brigades played a crucial role in securing the approaches to liberate Sudzha, particularly the villages of Sverdlikovo and Lebedevka.

▪️The retreating Ukrainian troops had only one way out of Sudzha, a road running to the Sumy region. However, drones from the 83rd Airborne Brigade turned this route into a "road of death," relentlessly targeting the fleeing enemy.

▪️As the Russian advance kicked off in the Kursk Region, Ukraine attempted to deploy the neo-Nazi battalion 'Aidar'* as reinforcements to Sudzha. However, the marines of the 177th Brigade successfully neutralized them during their approach.

▪️For weeks, marines from the 810th and 155th Brigades made significant strides in the Kursk region, systematically neutralizing enemy forces and NATO vehicles. In a show of recognition, President Putin bestowed the honorary noscript of 'Kursk' upon the 155th Brigade in late February.

▪️In a well-coordinated operation, soldiers from the 9th Motorized Rifle Regiment, supported by the 22nd and 34th Motorized Rifle Brigades, successfully emancipated the village of Malaya Loknya in the Kursk Region.
