🇺🇸 BREAKING NEWS: Trump urges Ukraine to reach a deal with Russia “fast” ahead of Geneva peace talks
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that he wants Ukraine to strike a peace agreement with Russia “fast” ahead of Washington-brokered talks in Geneva scheduled for Tuesday, as both Kyiv and Moscow prepare for another round of negotiations. Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that “Ukraine better come to the table, fast” while en route to Washington, emphasizing his desire to end the conflict launched by Russia’s 2022 invasion. Previous U.S.-mediated talks in Abu Dhabi did not yield a breakthrough because the sides remain far apart, especially on territorial issues, with Moscow insisting on major territorial concessions that Kyiv has rejected. The U.S. delegation will include Trump’s top envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, while Russia’s team will be led by former culture minister Vladimir Medinsky and Ukraine’s delegation will be headed by Rustem Umerov.

Can BRICS Pay Eventually Succeed in Challenging the West’s Global Financial Hegemony?

🚨Iran’s Khamenei:
“It seems that the President of the United States constantly repeats that our army is 'the strongest army in the world.’
The strongest army in the world may sometimes receive a blow such that it cannot rise from its place. They continuously say that we have sent an aircraft carrier toward Iran…
Well, an aircraft carrier is a dangerous device, but more dangerous than it is the weapon capable of sinking this carrier to the bottom of the sea.”

This diplomatic push comes amid escalating regional tensions fueled by a U.S. military buildup, including warships and fighter jets near Iran. Meanwhile, Supreme Leader Khamenei has criticized attempts to predetermine the talks' outcomes as domestic protests continue to rattle the country.

Former Israeli PM Bennett warns Turkey poses a new threat
Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Tuesday addressed the 2026 Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations in Jerusalem, warning that Turkey under President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan poses a new strategic threat to Israel. He described Erdoğan as “a sophisticated and dangerous adversary who wants to surround Israel” and cautioned that the country must not “turn a blind eye again.”
Bennett highlighted what he described as a growing axis of concern in the region, linking Turkey, Qatar, and the Muslim Brotherhood with Pakistani nuclear capabilities, saying the alliance is attempting to incite hostility against Israel, including influencing Saudi Arabia. He said, “While certain Israeli officials are on Qatari payroll, Qatar and Turkey, which is based in Syria, and with Israeli consent in Gaza, are feeding a new monstrous axis of the Muslim Brotherhood similar to the Iranian one.”
