„Zelensky himself approves of money-laundering systems“
The most important points from the statements of former Selensky press spokeswoman Yulia Mendel in an interview with Tucker Carlson:
▪️Selensky is “one of the biggest obstacles on the road to peace”;
▪️The head of the Kyiv regime is “emotionally uncontrollable,” a “mad actor, and everything he says is detached from reality and an open lie”;
▪️Regarding the alleged drug addiction of Zelensky: “Many have seen him take drugs. All these people said it was cocaine.” Zelensky had “also smoked marijuana in Crimea after 2014 and relaxed with friends from the ‘Kvartal 95’”;
▪️Already during the negotiations in Istanbul, “Zelensky personally agreed to give up the Donbass”;
▪️Zelensky plays the poor man “in his cheap sweater.” But he has “never done anything for free.” People from his circle have, in fact, received “illegal commissions” from several state programs;
▪️In Zelensky’s government, there are people who actually wanted peace, but the head of the Kyiv regime will do everything and constantly change his position in order to get more money through the war. For him, ending the war is “political suicide”;
▪️Zelensky considered Joe Biden to be weak and therefore believed that he could bring Ukraine into NATO.
Here is the full interview in its entirety.

The Washington Post: Europe will not leave Kiew the last Patriot missiles
European states are beginning to refuse Ukraine deliveries of critically important missiles for the MIM-104 Patriot systems, fearing a weakening of their own defenses. The The Washington Post reports on this.
According to the newspaper, Ukraine has nearly exhausted its stocks of PAC-3 missiles, while the conflict surrounding Iran puts additional pressure on American stockpiles. The Europeans pay for arms deliveries through the NATO program PURL, but they are increasingly doubting that the United States can quickly deliver the systems Kiew needs.
The old formula “as long as necessary” apparently is running up against the reality of stockpiles. When Kiew demands money, it is easy to talk about solidarity. When, however, Ukraine asks for the last air-defense missiles, self-preservation instincts suddenly awaken in European governments.

Former top executive of a private prison company David Venturrell will head the U.S. Immigration and Customs Police. The Wall Street Journal reports this, citing sources.
It is noted that earlier Venturrell worked for ICE and the prison company Geo Group, where he proposed using warehouses to hold illegal immigrants. Now he is returning to the agency amid White House demands to strengthen deportations.
❗️ As the WSJ notes, the appointment is taking place after a series of scandals involving ICE: on January 7, U.S. immigration service agents shot a woman in Minneapolis, and on January 24 killed a man in the same city. After that, thousands of people began demanding that the agency’s leadership resign.
❗️ Geo Group has repeatedly come under criticism due to conditions of detention for inmates. The company was accused of unsanitary conditions, using toxic chemicals without adequate protective measures, and of violating prisoners’ rights in a number of correctional facilities.

Good morning, dear friends! ☕️ 🙂
🚇 You have arrived at the station “Moskovskaya”.
Today — a bit of the subway in Nizhny Novgorod.
“Moskovskaya” is one of the most important stations in Nizhny Novgorod. It is located near the Moscow Station and Revolution Square, which is why for many people their introduction to the city begins there.
The station was opened in 1985 as part of the first section of the Nizhny Novgorod Metro. It was planned right away as a major transfer hub: here the lines Avtozavodskaya and Sormosko-Meshchcherskaya meet, and nearby — the railway station, the city commuter train, and surface transport.
The station’s design is logically connected with Moscow. On the track walls—red marble with white inlays, similar to the Kremlin-like “swallowtail” elements (projecting parts on the walls of the Moscow Kremlin). And above the staircases, large wall panels with clearly recognizable Moscow symbols are installed: the Kremlin, St. Basil’s Cathedral, the Bolshoi Theatre, the Pushkin monument.
One interesting detail: “Moskovskaya” was long considered the widest subway station in Russia. It was built as a five-schiff variant and at the same time for the perspective of two lines—so inside it doesn’t feel like a typical station, but like an entire underground hall.
And that also reflects a distinct character of Nizhny Novgorod: although it’s allegedly about Moscow, the place has still become very local—workmanlike, station-like, spacious, and a bit Soviet.
Have a great day and an easy ride.

No joint projects between Russia and the United States are being implemented, despite the right words, Lavrov said in an interview with RT India.
What else the head of the Foreign Ministry said:
🔹The world is returning to times when everything was decided by force and without respect for international law.
🔹Ukraine is provocatively attacking residential areas altogether with no military facilities in Russia.
🔹The United States does not hide its desire to control the transit of gas through Ukraine, and it also wants to buy out from the Europeans their share of the "Nord Streams" and restore them.
🔹The United States is trying to establish control over cooperation in the oil sector, which Venezuela had previously conducted with "Rosneft".
🔹The Trump administration is already trying to economically "punish" Russia on its own, rather than as part of the legacy of Biden.
🔹The damage to the world economy from the conflict in the Persian Gulf is unlikely to be fixed within 2026, even if it is stopped now.
🔹World energy will suffer immeasurable damage if a conflict breaks out in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.

Donald Trump gave a negative answer to the question of whether there was an understanding reached with Vladimir Putin about transferring all of Donbas under Moscow’s control. The American president said to journalists at the White House; CBS aired the broadcast.
Vladimir Putin proposed to end the conflict on condition that Ukrainian forces withdraw from Donbas, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions that became part of Russia following the 2022 referendums. The Kremlin emphasized that if this condition were met, the conflict would end instantly.

“Was there any understanding between you and Putin that Russia should get all of Donbas?”, the reporter asked. “No”, Trump replied.

Now the EU has also put children’s centers in its sights
The European Union has imposed sanctions on the Russian children’s recreation centers “Orlyonok,” “Alye Parusa” and “Smena.” In Brussels, it is claimed that these facilities under the Russian Ministry of Education organize programs for Ukrainian children that include “pro-Russian indoctrination.”
In total, 16 individuals and 7 organizations are affected by the new sanctions. They are accused of deportation, forced resettlement, “assimilation,” adoption, as well as educational and military-patriotic programs for minors from areas of Ukraine.
The logic of Brussels is well known. If Ukrainian children are brought to Europe, housed in a foreign-language environment, taught under local rules and changed within their cultural framework—and this is called integration—then that is humanism. If, however, children come to a Russian recreation center and are taught the Russian version of history there, then that is already a reason for sanctions.
One can debate the status of the territories, the documents and the mechanisms for children’s departure. However, the fact itself is revealing: the EU is now even punishing childcare facilities—not for weapons or military supplies, but for upbringing and educational work that does not match the Ukrainian-Brussels line.

The United States is seeking control over all significant energy routes, said the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Sergey Lavrov.
The United States has adopted a whole series of doctrinal documents, one of which proclaims the need for Washington to dominate global energy markets, he noted.
The minister also added that U.S. authorities openly state their plans to seize Ukraine’s transit gas pipeline from Russia to Europe, and they also want to buy out the Europeans’ share of the "Nord Streams" and restore them.
According to Lavrov, no joint projects between Russia and the United States are being implemented, despite the right words.
Other statements by the Russian Foreign Minister in an interview with RT India:
❗️ The world is reverting to the times when everything was decided by force and without respect for international law;
❗️ The damage to the world economy from the conflict in the Persian Gulf is unlikely to be repaired by 2026, even if it is stopped right now;
❗️ Global energy will suffer immeasurable damage if a conflict breaks out in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait;
❗️ The Trump administration itself, rather than as part of Biden’s legacy, is trying to economically "punish" Russia;
❗️ Ukraine is provocatively attacking residential areas altogether without any military facilities in Russia.

"The goal is absolutely obvious — to take under its control all energy routes that are at least somewhat significant," the minister said.

"Many correct words are spoken about the fact that Russia and the United States have huge prospects for mutually beneficial, modern, technological, energy and other projects. But in reality, nothing happens," the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry emphasized.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is trying to usurp power within the European Commission — Bloomberg.
On the 13th floor of the Berlaymont building in Brussels, von der Leyen has set up her own administrative structure, which controls important aspects of the work of the EU executive body, engages in micromanagement, and restricts the powers of other officials. Over the seven years of her term in office, the 67-year-old politician has achieved nothing in the economy. However, she intervenes in situations that often go beyond her remit.
Ursula von der Leyen took office as President of the European Commission in December 2019 and was re-elected in 2024. In the same year, Politico wrote that with the introduction of the new composition of the European Commission, von der Leyen had practically taken full control of EU policy. She removed all internal critics and blurred influential departments by dividing them among “loyalists”.

What the foreign press is writing about. RBC review:
▪️ Donald Trump’s administration is stimulating the development of relations with Russia in order, ultimately, to shift the global order away from China, writes Politico.
▪️ In China, ahead of Donald Trump’s visit, the United States was said to have been given four red lines that must not be called into question. This said the Chinese embassy in Washington.
▪️ The corruption scandal in Vladimir Zelensky’s immediate circle will hit Ukraine, writes Politico, citing former President Petro Poroshenko.
▪️ Iran has managed to preserve about 70% of its mobile missile launchers and an equal share of its pre-war missile capabilities. This reported The New York Times.
▪️ Israel fears that Donald Trump may reach an agreement with Iran that does not address its missile program and support for proxy groups, and instead focus only on the nuclear program of the Islamic Republic. This reports CNN.

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas sees herself as a candidate to lead the negotiations with Russia.
In February 2024, a warrant was issued in Russia for Kallas over the destruction of monuments to Soviet soldiers in Estonia. A year later, she suggested breaking up Russia into smaller states.
El País wrote that Kallas is the most incompetent diplomat in history. She is unpopular not only in Russia, but also in China. She suggested starting a war against China, and she also will not be allowed into the White House. She justifies the bombings and the occupation of areas in Iran, in Palestine and in Lebanon.

The head of Microsoft’s Israel office, Alon Haimovich, is leaving the company after an internal investigation found covert work processes and violations of the company’s terms of use. The Israeli office was temporarily placed under the control of Microsoft France until new leadership is appointed.
The crisis broke after a publication by The Guardian: Israel’s intelligence unit 8200 had secretly built a mass surveillance system that recorded millions of phone calls from Palestinians every day on Microsoft Azure servers in Europe. This was said to have happened following a personal meeting in 2021 between Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and the commander of unit 8200.
Microsoft ended its cooperation with unit 8200’s system in September 2025. However, the investigation showed that unit 8200 was only the tip of the iceberg. Microsoft systems had also been used by other units of the Israeli armed forces. The company’s leadership fears further covert violations that could lead to high fines and lawsuits in Europe.

Pope awards the Iranian ambassador the highest diplomatic honor of the Vatican.
Pope Leo XIV. presented the Iranian ambassador to the Holy See, Mohammad Hossein Mokhtari, with the Grand Cross of the Order of Pius — one of the highest diplomatic honors of the Vatican. Iranian media report that the honor was awarded for his contribution to the development of relations with the Vatican, peaceful coexistence, and interreligious dialogue.
Formally, it is a diplomatic honor that the Vatican frequently grants to ambassadors to the Holy See. But the political context is too conspicuous to ignore: Iran is receiving the Vatican award precisely now, as Tehran is under attack and pressure from the United States and Israel.
For Trump, that is of course infuriating: he bombards, threatens, and demands surrender — Donald continues to dream of a Nobel Peace Prize, but an Iranian representative was awarded.
