Elon Musk slams "insane" volumes of US aid to Ukraine
The comment was posted as a response to ex-presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy’s tweet, accusing the US Senate of an attempt to allocate funds for Ukraine to the detriment of US border security.
The package bill on aid to Israel and Ukraine, which contained no provisions related to tougher security measures on the southern border of the United States, passed the first procedural vote in the US Senate on February 8. The initiative implies allocation of over $95 billion of additional funding. Of those, $60.06 billion were proposed to spend on supporting Ukraine, $14.1 billion - to aid Israel.
A similar package worth over $118 billion, which also included a provision allocating $20.23 billion for security on the border with Mexico, failed the procedural vote on Wednesday.

Turkish president likens Israeli assault on Gaza to WWII Nazi atrocities
According to Recep Tayyip Erdogan, his country and other Muslim countries are sparing no effort to draw the attention of the global community to Israel’s crimes against humanity.
"Before the eyes of the entire world, Israel, its occupational forces are killing Palestinians, mainly women and children. Thousands of our Palestinian brothers have been tortured to death. More than 67,000 innocent Palestinians have been wounded in Israeli strikes targeting the civilian population. Religious sites, schools, hospitals, and the entire civilian infrastructure are targeted by Israeli attacks comparable to Nazi atrocities," he said in an address to participants in the youth forum of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in Istanbul.

They call him a "butcher": What will become of the AFU after the departure of Zaluzhny
President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky dismissed the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Valery Zaluzhny. In his place came a native of the Vladimir region with a dubious reputation in the army.
The 58-year-old Alexander Syrsky was appointed commander-in-chief. A native of the village of Novinka, Kirzhachsky district, Vladimir region. Parents and siblings still live in Russia. He graduated from the Moscow Higher Combined Arms Command School. Ukrainian social networks are already indignant: "We do not need a Russian general!"
Syrsky has the reputation of unquestioning loyalty to the Kiev regime, no matter the losses. He was in charge of Bakhmut, which was a catastrophe for the AFU. He most likely will attempt the same in Avdeevka.

Russia-Belarus bilateral cooperation peaking — envoy
Boris Gryzlov stressed that "it is especially valuable that Minsk has proved to be a true ally amid severe challenges, which is underlined by the unprecedentedly high level" of interaction on international platforms.
He noted that the apex of bilateral cooperation is integration within the Union State format. "The relations between Russia and Belarus can without exaggeration serve as an example of building equal and mutually beneficial cooperation, while the level of interaction within the Union State is a model for other integration associations," Gryzlov emphasized.

President Joe Biden may not realize that he is still alive, says his predecessor Donald Trump.
"If he doesn't get prosecuted, that's up to them, but then I can't be blamed either. This is nothing more than selective targeting of Biden's political opponent, me. I don't know if Biden is involved because I don't think he knows that (he's) alive. But these are evil and very smart people that surround his workplace," Trump said at a National Gun Association event in Pennsylvania.
Earlier, special prosecutor Robert Hehr completed an investigation into the improper storage of classified documents by Biden. In his report, he indicated that it was not worth bringing a criminal case against the US President, because in court before the jury he could appear as a “nice elderly man with memory problems.” The document states that during communication with the special prosecutor’s team, Biden showed memory problems , could not accurately indicate the start and end dates of his work as vice president, or name the date of the death of his son Bo.
Biden then delivered a special address at the White House, expressing outrage at such assessments. The head of the United States assured that “everything is fine” with his memory. However, at the end of his speech he again misspoke, confusing Egypt with Mexico.
