🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡- Ukrainian President Zelensky has penned an open letter to Russia's Putin. The Kremlin says they have seen it and Putin will be briefed on it soon.

"Whatever you say about NATO, geopolitics, and the Russian language — this war is your personal choice.

A war without a real reason. That is how history will remember it.

You did not expect full-scale resistance from Ukraine and did not predict that things would go this far. But we are all here — in the fifth year of full-scale confrontation.

Ukraine preserves its independence. And will preserve it. Despite any other predictions.

Don't be afraid to get out of the war — that is the main thing needed from you now.

We in Ukraine do not want permanent war. We know very well that without war is immeasurably better.

You won't have enough money and political power to continue buying the loyalty of Russians as you have done for 26 years. We will do everything to make the world know about this.

As you yourself say — 'everything must be counted.'

We have seen intelligence documents showing that you are currently reviewing war plans for 2027 and 2028 as well.

You want to drag Belarus even further into the war, and we are now forced to prepare for that too.

Ukraine proposes to end the war in a format between us and you. I propose a meeting.

There are countries that traditionally host leaders for resolving questions of war and peace.

Switzerland, Turkey, countries of the Arab world — many can and want to host this meeting." - Zelensky.

🇺🇸🇨🇺⚡- "For decades, Cuba has been the world capital for radical left-wing terrorism. The regime in Havana has recruited, trained and backed violent Marxist and third-worldist movements across our hemisphere and beyond. Today, we are targeting the network that enables and funds Cuba's subversive and radical operations.

Pursuant to sanctions authorities created by President Trump’s groundbreaking Cuba Executive Order, I am designating the following entities:

1. Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Cuba (MINFAR)
2. Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP)
3. Amistur Cuba S.A.
4. Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR)
5. Minera La Victoria S.A.

Anyone providing services to these sanctioned actors is at risk of sanctions themselves. Foreign banks and other companies that provide services to these entities should freeze those activities.

The Trump Administration will no longer tolerate radical Marxist regimes in our hemisphere seeking to threaten U.S. national security and engage in influence operations to export their poisonous and evil “revolution” to our country and around the world," - Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

🇺🇸🇨🇺⚡️- "The President of the United States makes new threatening statements against Cuba; and the Treasury Department has added new names of Cuban leaders, organizations, and companies to an illegitimate sanctions list.

They are aimed at reinforcing the blockade measures and the scenario of conflict between Cuba and the United States.

This political blindness is added to the coercive measures applied in recent weeks against our country, designed to harm the Cuban people.

The aggressiveness and perversity of the Yankee government will clash with our determination to confront the worst scenarios and resist the imperialist onslaught." - Miguel Díaz-Canel, Cuban President.
