Marc Fogal, an American detained in Russia, has been released in a gesture of goodwill amidst shifting geopolitical dynamics. The U.S. has poured substantial resources into Ukraine, yet concerns grow about the misuse of funds, with allegations of weapons being sold on the black market to Mexican cartels. As Ukraine faces mounting financial scrutiny, Zelensky’s recent offer of land swaps in talks with Russia contrasts with his past position. President Putin’s release of an American prisoner further signals changing diplomatic relations. Meanwhile, Trump is reportedly aware of alleged corruption in Ukraine, while Zelensky prepares for serious discussions on restitution through mineral offerings. Pete Hegseth is set to address NATO on the evolving role of U.S. support and defense strategy.
- American Marc Fogal released from Russian custody.
- We have supported Ukraine with more money than we give our territories. We have supported Ukraine as a welfare state and it has been a laundromat to steal the money. It is not a coincidence that Tucker releases that the weapons given to Ukraine have been sold on the black market to the Mexican cartels, that Marc Fogal has been released, and that Zelensky is on his knees begging Trump to make a deal. The Russians have not stolen from us. We are the ones that blew up the Nord Stream pipeline. We are the ones that allowed Russia to move across the border into Ukraine.
- Zelensky offers land swaps in Russia talks. You remember that when Zelensky was asked to come to the table, he was firm on Russia leaving all land to Ukraine. Putin released an American prisoner as a goodwill gesture on ending the war. Trump knows how much money Zelensky has stolen from the US. Zelensky said Kiev was ready for serious talks ahead of Friday’s meeting at the Munich Security Conference with JD Vance. The minerals that Zelensky is offering is restitution for the money that he stole from Americans.
- Pete Hegseth is at NATO. Pete is going to tell NATO how it will work.
