Key takeaways from Trump's speech to Congress:
💬 Russia sent “a strong signal” that it is ready for peace.
💬 POTUS also received a message from Zelensky, in which he admitted that Ukraine is ready to return to the negotiating table "as soon as possible."
💬 US needs Greenland for national and international security; would welcome the island if it chooses to join the US.
💬 US is "taking back" the Panama Canal. "The Panama Canal was built by Americans for Americans, not for others," Trump added.
💬 Reciprocal tariffs will take effect on April 2. "Whatever they tariff us, other countries, we will tariff them," Trump said, clearly having China, Europe and Canada in mind.
💬 Congress should fund the Golden Dome missile defense shield; the US "finally has the technology to build it."
💬 US will be WOKE no longer. Regardless of profession, an employee should be hired and promoted based on his professional skills, not race or gender.
💬 Additionally, Trump asked Congress to pass a bill permanently banning and criminalizing sex change in children. "You are perfect exactly the way God made you," he explained.

'Neocons should be unhappy' as Trump calls out NATO, pushes for peace — analyst
Kwiatkowski stressed that Trump didn’t talk about Europe or NATO other than noting that they depend on the US and use American money, "and yet they seem not to want peace."
She noted that peace means prosperity for the working people and younger generations rather than those not working and the government.

Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron want to change Trump’s mind about Zelensky and Ukraine, the Daily Mail reports, citing diplomatic sources.
European politicians want to “present a united front” on Kiev before Trump. The newspaper suggests that Trump was especially angered by Zelensky’s disruption of the talks because he wanted to present a deal during his speech in Congress.

Sputnik continues its historic odyssey, revisiting the events of the Great Patriotic War.
On this day, 80 years ago, the Red Army captured Shtargard (modern Poland), a major transport hub, and liberated several settlements in Czechoslovakia.
Heavy fighting continued near Koenigsberg (now Kaliningrad) while Nazi Germany started displaying clear signs of despair as Hitler ordered to conscript 16-year-old boys to serve in Volkssturm, a paramilitary troop established to support the Wehrmacht.

📹 Zelensky regime snubbed by its own defenders: Ukrainian border guards refuse orders
Due to a shortage of personnel, border guards from the Chernovtsy region of Western Ukraine were deployed to support the 36th Marine Brigade. However, these guard members ultimately declined to undertake any combat mission. Russian hackers managed to obtain a video documenting their defiance from Ukrainian intelligence servers.
These border guards are refusing to get a “one-way ticket” to the Kursk region frontline, citing a lack of communication, poorly equipped positions, insufficient coordination with neighboring units, and low morale.
