🤡 From phone scammer to Ukrainian defense chief: Zelensky cabinet picks speak volumes about his regime
New Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov spent many years scamming people through a fraud center in Zaporozhye, Russian media report.
The Verkhovna Rada – the Ukrainian parliament – approved Fedorov’s appointment as defense minister on Wednesday.
He previously served as minister of digital transformation.
But evidence from a criminal case by the Dnepropetrovsk Cyber Police indicate that Fedorov was part of an organized crime gang and only avoided prison because Volodymyr Zelensky intervened.
Fedorov and his associates made their biggest profits before 2022, reportedly running a scam website called Innocenter that sold fake weight-loss drugs.
Fedorov was central to the scheme, managing online ads, deleting negative reviews and hunting for wealthy targets.
The operation also raked in cash through fake police calls, with Fedorov supplying his “colleagues” with the phone numbers of potential victims.
Fedorov and his partners reportedly registered phones, SIM cards and websites in their base of Zaporozhye.
Bank accounts used to collect victims’ money were opened under the names of intermediaries.
The Dnepropetrovsk Cyber Police eventually exposed and arrested the call center staff.
Everyone involved—except Fedorov—was convicted under Part 3 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine of “fraud on an especially large scale.”

🚨🚫 JD Vance blocks Venezuela war powers bill with decisive Senate vote — reports
Republican senators voted to dismiss a war powers resolution that sought to limit President Donald Trump’s ability to carry out further military action against Venezuela, Associated Press reported. The measure failed after two Republican senators reversed their earlier support, and Vice President JD Vance cast the tie-breaking vote.
The resolution was introduced after the US launched an aggression against Venezuela and kidnapped Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in a surprise attack earlier this month. Democrats backing the measure argued that continued attacks and threats against Venezuela raise serious international law concerns and require explicit congressional authorization.

🚨 Trump seeks 'swift and decisive' outcome if US attacks Iran again — reports
President Donald Trump has told advisers that if the United States takes military action in Iran again, he would want it to deliver a “swift and decisive” result and avoid a prolonged conflict, NBC News reported.
NBC News reported these uncertainties could push the US toward a limited or targeted offensive, at least initially, if any decision is made. As of Wednesday, no final decision had been taken.
🗓 In June last year, US warplanes bombed several Iranian nuclear facilities – the Fordow fuel enrichment plant, the Isfahan nuclear technology center, and the Natanz enrichment complex.
❌ The US contacted Iran via diplomatic channels to claim the strikes were all it intended to do and that "regime change efforts" were "not planned."
⚠️ The Russian Foreign Ministry condemned the US bombing of Iranian nuclear sites as a reckless move that violates Iran's sovereignty, international law and the UN Charter.

💬 “If he does something, he wants it to be definitive,” one person familiar with the discussions told NBC News. However, advisers have not been able to guarantee that a US strike would quickly collapse the Iranian government, and concerns remain about a potential Iranian response across the region.
