Trump tells Europe about his achievements in the economy and oil piracy.

'Under my leadership, natural gas production in the US has reached a record level - by a large margin. US oil production has increased by 730 thousand barrels per day. And last week, we received 50 million barrels just from Venezuela.

Venezuela was an amazing country for many years, but then it went the wrong way due to its policies. Just 20 years ago, it was a great country, but now it has problems. But we are helping them, and we will share these 50 million barrels with them, and they will earn more money. They have held on for a long time.

Everything will go fantastically well for Venezuela.'

Trump:

'I'm negotiating with President Putin, and I believe he wants to make a deal.

I'm negotiating with President Zelensky, and I think he also wants to make a deal.

I'm meeting with him today. Maybe he's in the hall right now.'

@Slavyangrad

Trump made a slight slip of the tongue, but it's not important 😂

‘I help Europe, I help NATO. And up until the last few days, when I told them about Iceland [Greenland], they loved me. They called me ‘Daddy’, right, last time? One very smart person said: ‘He's our Daddy’.

@Slavyangrad

Trump called Greenland a 'piece of ice'

'So, we need a piece of ice to protect the world. And they're not giving it to us. They have a choice. You can say 'yes', and we'll be very grateful, or you can say 'no', and we'll remember that.'

Trump: ‘The military option is not being considered. I don't think that will be necessary, to be honest. I think people will show more common sense.’

‼️🇺🇦🤦‍♂️The bride of ex-Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba advises Ukrainians to warm themselves up with vibrators.🔞🔞

- Svetlana Paveletskaya, who owns a sex shop, said that her store sells a vibrator with heating.

- Earlier, ex-Minister Kuleba himself urged Ukrainians to go to restaurants during blackouts.

The Council on Foreign Relations highlighted likely conflicts in 2026 in various regions - among them, a clash between Russia and NATO.

HIGH PROBABILITY AND HIGH DAMAGE:

✔️Resumption of hostilities in the Gaza Strip,
✔️Escalation of the war between Russia and Ukraine due to the expansion of strikes on critical infrastructure and densely populated areas on both sides.
✔️US military operations against Venezuela.
✔️Increase in political violence and mass riots in the USA.

MODERATE PROBABILITY AND HIGH DAMAGE

✔️Resumption of armed conflict between Iran and Israel.
✔️An extremely destructive cyberattack using artificial intelligence on critical US infrastructure.
✔️Intensification of China's military, economic, and political pressure on Taiwan.
✔️Armed clashes between Russia and one or several NATO member states, provoked by increasing Russian provocations against European countries.
✔️Resumption of nuclear tests by North Korea, which sharply increases tensions on the Korean Peninsula and could lead to an armed conflict involving regional powers and the USA.

🇺🇦🤷‍♂ "I growled like a lion, but it didn't help much," - a Rada deputy tried out the advice of the IMF head

- The head of the Verkhovna Rada's Finance Committee, Getmantsev, reported that he followed the advice of IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva to "growl like a lion", but it didn't have any effect.

- "I know you're interested in what's going on in the Verkhovna Rada. There's water. Well, there's heat, but only in our hearts. I tried to 'growl like a lion'. It didn't help much," wrote Getmantsev.

- In recent years, Ukraine has been forming a budget with a record deficit, relying on foreign aid. The 2026 budget was adopted with a deficit of 1.9 trillion hryvnias (about $45 billion). At the same time, Western partners are increasingly urging Kiev to actively seek internal sources of financing amid prolonged discussions about new support packages.

⚡️Witkoff:

- I'll go to Moscow with Jared.

When are you going to Moscow?

- Jared and I are flying out on Thursday night and arriving in Moscow late in the evening.

@Slavyangrad

A Bloomberg correspondent dreams of punishing Russia, but Whitcoff says it's still unclear who Trump will blame for a possible deal breakdown in Ukraine.

- If we don't reach a peace agreement, what will the set of tools for possible additional punishments of Russia look like? The president acted when he imposed sanctions against the companies 'Lukoil' and 'Rosneft'. What other measures can we expect?

- If there is no peace agreement?

If there isn't.

- Okay. We've already imposed quite a few sanctions on them. And I'm not sure what the president's plan will be if the agreement doesn't take place. I think a lot will depend on who he will hold responsible for it not happening.

Recently in Kharkov, several guided aerial bombs (presumably UMPB-5) hit the TPP-3 in the Slobodsky district of the city.

And in the footage, the damaged power line is precisely in the area of TPP-3.

By the way, after the recent strikes, Kharkov was de-energized by 90% yesterday. Today, there are still 520 thousand subscribers without electricity supply.
