🇷🇺🇺🇸 Putin spoke with Trump by phone for nearly an hour and a half, said Peskov.
🇺🇦 Peacekeepers in Ukraine should be outside NATO's umbrella and not fall under Article 5, according to Pete Hegseth
🇺🇸🇺🇦 The U.S. will not send peacekeepers to Ukraine, as this responsibility should fall on Europe, said Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
"Security guarantees for Ukraine should be provided by European nations; the U.S. will not deploy its troops there," he stated.
Zelensky previously said that without U.S. involvement, the peacekeeping initiative would be ineffective.

🇺🇸 The first Trump administration official to travel to Ukraine will be Treasury Secretary Bessent, who will discuss American access to Ukrainian minerals - Bloomberg
“We need to stop Putin and protect what we have — a very rich Dnipro region, central Ukraine,” Zelenskyy told the outlet.
“We will protect those trillions. We will prevent Russia from mining the minerals which will later be used to produce technologies for the three countries of the axis of evil. The Americans helped the most, and therefore the Americans should earn the most. And in rebuilding Ukraine, they should have this priority. And they will.”

🔴 Tucker Carlson: Ukrainian Military is Selling Huge Percentage of US Arms Given to Them
“Last weekend, I had a meeting at a ski resort in the Alps, which is probably the most expensive town in the world…but the whole town is Ukrainian.”
“They’re rolling in…and dropping a million dollars in an afternoon. Okay? So it’s all through Europe, you see this. The richest people are the Ukrainians. That money is ours.”
“It belongs to me and you and every other American taxpayer.”
“Second fact…is the Ukrainian military is selling a huge percentage, up to half, of the arms that we send them.”
“And I’m not guessing about this. I know this for a fact.”
“Not Going to Happen”: Trump Special Envoy Rebuffs Zelensky’s Peace Conditions
The Kremlin has made its stance clear. It will not under any circumstances accept the prospect of a nuclear Ukraine.
Volodymyr Zelensky doesn’t seem to care. Earlier this week, he said that if the U.S. cannot guarantee his country a quick path toward NATO membership, then he would accept nuclear armament as a consolation prize.
"The chance of them getting their nuclear weapons back is somewhere between slim and none," the president’s special Ukraine and Russia envoy Keith Kellogg reportedly said in response to Zelensky. "Let's be honest about it, we both know that's not going to happen."

The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) is reaching out to CIA officers who want to jointly resolve the Ukraine conflict. The video ad appealing to American patriots appears to be a response to a similar call to Russian military engineers released by the US spy agency last month.
The video titled ‘Your Option: Together for the Truth’ and released by the SVR on Thursday evokes the camaraderie shared by the US and the USSR during World War II. It warns that contemporary Ukraine is tainted by Nazi influences and rampant corruption – a message designed to resonate with American ideals. The narrator says: “Honor does matter. Be worthy of our grandfathers. Raise their flag high,” as a veteran CIA officer decides to contact the Russians.
U.S. to Pull Back from Middle Eastern Chaos
The 21st-century’s biggest foreign policy lesson to date has to be that America should stay away from the Middle East. Our country has gotten nothing out of its time there.
According to a Wednesday report, the Trump administration is preparing to take a big step in the right direction. “President Donald Trump and officials close to him recently expressed interest in pulling U.S. troops out of Syria,” it reads, “leading Pentagon officials to begin drawing up plans for a full withdrawal in 30, 60 or 90 days.”
The president foreshadowed the move last week, telling reporters, “We’re not involved in Syria. Syria is its own mess. They got enough messes over there. They don’t need us involved in every one.”
Iran Presents Promising Concept With Its ‘Shahid Bahman Bagheri’ Drone Carrier
The Islamic Republic has been facing increasing pressure from the United States since President Donlad Trump assumed office. In addition, the threat of an Israeli attack on the Iranian nuclear program is today more serious than ever.
Converting a container vessel into a drone carrier shows the creativity of Iran’s military industrial complex, which is known for cutting corners to save time and cost.

🇺🇸The US State Department plans to return all USAID employees from overseas assignments to the United States by February 8 .

🇮🇱🇺🇸❗️Netanyahu gave Trump a pager in memory of Israel's operation against the Lebanese Hezbollah movement.
The US president responded by saying it was a grand operation, the Israeli prime minister's office reported.
🇮🇱 🇺🇸🇺🇸 Just a reminder.

🇺🇸 🇪🇬🇯🇴 Trump said he could cut off financial support to Egypt and Jordan if they do not accept Palestinians from Gaza.
Jordan and Egypt, along with Israel, are among the largest recipients of US aid. Amman receives $1.45 billion annually, Cairo - $1.3 billion per year.
📑The US could also jeopardize the peace treaties concluded by Egypt and Jordan with Israel. We talked about this with Dan.
In Egypt and Jordan - especially in Jordan, where Palestinians make up more than half the population - there is such a factor as internal anger.
🇯🇴🇪🇬 Meanwhile, Jordan's King Abdullah II will meet with Trump today, and el-Sisi was going to visit Washington on February 18, but his visit was postponed until the emergency Arab summit on Palestine, which will take place on February 27.

🇺🇸 The US will soon lose the ability to sanction countries because everyone is switching to national currencies - Marco Rubio on Fox News
🇨🇳🇧🇷Today, Brazil, the largest country in the Western Hemisphere to the south of us, made a deal with China and now they will trade in national currencies, bypassing the dollar. They are creating a secondary economy, completely independent of the US dollar. We will not have to talk about sanctions in five years, because so many countries will have switched to national currencies that we will no longer be able to sanction them.
