Zelensky on Russian missile attack overnight:

It was a heavy strike. 90 missiles of various types. Many of them were ballistic — 36. And 600 drones.

Unfortunately, not all the ballistic missiles could be shot down. The most hits were in Kyiv, and Kyiv itself was the main target of this Russian attack.

Putin can't even pronounce the word 'hurrah' normally anymore — he slurs his words, yet he is still defeating residential buildings with his missiles.

Three Russian missiles against a water supply facility. He burned down a market, damaged dozens of residential buildings, and several ordinary schools.

He launched his Oreshnik against Bila Tserkva. Well, he is truly unhinged.

Marco Rubio on possible Iran deal:

Some progress has been made. Significant progress, although not final progress.

I don't want to uh downplay that, but I also want to caveat it by saying we still have some work to do.

Perhaps over the next few hours the world will get some good news at least with regards to the Straits and with regards to a process that can ultimately leave us where the President wants us to be.

The idea that somehow this President is going to agree to a deal that ultimately winds up putting Iran in a stronger position when it comes to nuclear ambitions is absurd. That's just not going to happen.

(on the Strait of Hormuz) They don't own it. It's an international waterway.

What they are doing now is threatening to destroy commercial vessels using an international waterway.

If we allowed that to become normal, we would be setting a dangerous precedent that can be replicated in multiple places around the world.

Marco Rubio on racism against Indians:

Every country in the world has stupid people.

I'm sure there are stupid people here, there are stupid people in the United States that make dumb comments all the time.

NEW: Iranian source tells Tasnim News that disagreements over one or two clauses of a potential memorandum of understanding with the US remain unresolved, accusing Washington of "creating obstacles."

Russia's MoD says it carried out a retaliatory strike on Ukrainian military and industrial targets using Oreshnik, Iskander, Kinzhal, and Zircon missiles.

Private text messages allegedly sent by Elon Musk to influencer Ashley St. Clair just before the 2024 US election have resurfaced online.

In one message, Musk wrote:

Tomorrow we unleash the anomaly in the matrix... this is not something on the chess board so they will be quite surprised 'lasers from space'... I have over 10,000 lasers in space right now.

Marco Rubio:

We were able to go into Venezuela and remove highly enriched uranium.

The Iranian system has refused to even discuss it. That needs to change.

Marco Rubio:

Our country unfortunately faced a very serious migratory crisis a few years ago. Over 20 million people unlawfully entered the country.

We saw abuses of the green card system in many cases as well, and so we decided that we were going to reform it.

Anytime you reform a system, there's going to be some disruptions, some hiccups, some inconvenience. But we think in the long term we're going to have a system that's much more stable.

Indian professionals that seek to come to the United States are going to find themselves with a system that is more efficient, more effective, and better for both them and our country as well.

Armenia's PM Pashinyan:

Pleased to announce that following the Azerbaijani railway, the Turkish railway via Georgia, is now open for Armenian export & import.

This is a major develop for our country’s econ life. Express appreciation to our partners in Türkiye & Georgia for their constructive coop.
