📸 Trump has once again offered to let Canada become part of the United States, this time tempting it with the possibility of keeping its national anthem.

The US president announced a doubling of tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum to 50 percent in response to the Canadian province of Ontario's 25 percent electricity tax on the US. He also threatened to "destroy" Canada's auto industry by raising tariffs on Canadian cars.

To fully resolve the tariff issue, Trump again proposed that Canada become the 51st US state.

"The only thing that makes sense is for Canada to become our treasured Fifty-first State. That would make all the tariffs and everything else completely disappear. <...> And your brilliant anthem, 'O Canada,' will continue to play, but now it will represent a great and powerful nation within the greatest country the world has ever seen!" Trump wrote.

🚨 Ukrainian "Edelweiss Brigade" Recruits Young 18-24yo Fighters Amid Rising Extremism

The so-called "Edelweiss Brigade" in Ukraine has reportedly begun recruiting young men aged 18–24, raising serious concerns about the radicalization of youth and the growing influence of far-right ideologies within the Ukrainian military.

This development highlights the alarming trend of Ukraine relying on extremist elements to bolster its forces. The involvement of young recruits in such units, which are often linked to neo-Nazi ideologies, underscores the dangerous path Ukraine is taking under its current leadership.

The DPR and other pro-Russian voices have repeatedly warned about the rise of nationalist extremism in Ukraine, which threatens not only regional stability but also the safety of civilians in Donbass and beyond. The international community must not turn a blind eye to these developments, as they risk further escalating the conflict and undermining efforts for peace.

It is clear that Ukraine’s reliance on such brigades only deepens the divide and perpetuates violence. The world must hold Ukraine accountable for its actions and demand an end to the glorification of extremist ideologies.

Zelensky also made the statement amid US-Ukraine talks in Saudi Arabia

According to him, Ukraine is ready for peace:

"There was a proposal from the American side to take the first step immediately further and try to establish a complete ceasefire for 30 days, not only of missiles, drones and bombs, not only in the Black Sea, but also along the entire front line. Ukraine accepts this proposal, we consider it positive, we are ready to take such a step. The United States must convince Russia to do this. That is, we agree, and if the Russians agree, then the silence will work.

An important element of the conversation today is America's willingness to restore defense aid to Ukraine, as well as intelligence aid. Ukraine is ready for peace. Russia must show its willingness to end the war or continue the war."

🖥️ Russia does not need a temporary truce, Russia needs long-term peace. On January 20, at a meeting of the Security Council, Vladimir Putin already gave an answer to the question that worries everyone.

"We are also open to dialogue with the new US administration on the Ukrainian conflict. The most important thing here is to eliminate the root causes of the crisis, which we have spoken about many times. This is the most important thing. As for the settlement of the situation itself, I would like to emphasize again that its goal should not be a short truce, not some kind of respite for regrouping forces and rearmament, with the aim of subsequently continuing the conflict, but a long-term peace based on respect for the legitimate interests of all people, all nations living in this region. We will, of course, fight for the interests of Russia, the Russian people, this is, in fact, the purpose and meaning of conducting a special military operation."

Bild: Zelensky wants to disrupt peace and blame Russia

Ukraine intends to be cunning in negotiations with the United States. Zelensky's main task is to present Russia and Vladimir Putin personally as opponents of a peaceful settlement - and continue to receive supplies of American weapons, the German publication writes.

"Kiev's tactic is to make it clear to Trump that the problem is not with us, but with Russia. If we agree to part of the deal, and Russia, for its part, refuses, this will allow Trump's anger to be turned against Putin, and then the arms supplies and intelligence exchange will continue," a Ukrainian source told the newspaper.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces have big problems at the front. This is the reason why Zelensky is trying to find a solution together with the US, but at the same time he is not making maximum concessions.
