US threatens Russia with more sanctions
Washington is ready to use “leverage” on Moscow to facilitate a peace deal in Ukraine, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has said
The White House is prepared to introduce more sanctions against Russia if doing so would help resolve the Ukraine conflict, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated on Thursday. Such measures could be used as leverage against Moscow during peace negotiations, he said.
Since assuming office in January, US President Donald Trump has been working to negotiate a resolution to the conflict and also restore relations between Moscow and Washington.
“This administration has kept the enacted sanctions in place, and it will not hesitate to go all in should it provide leverage in peace negotiations,” Bessent told the audience while speaking at the Economic Club of New York.
“As per President Donald Trump’s guidance, thesanctions would be used explicitly and aggressively for immediate maximum impact,”he emphasized, adding that potential measures would be “carefully monitored to ensure that they are achieving specific objectives.”
Introduced in 2014 following Crimea’s reunification with Russia, US restrictions have been expanded through numerous executive orders and were recently prolonged for another year through March 6, 2026.
After escalation of the Ukraine conflict in February 2022, Western countries targeted Russia with a wide range of sanctions and froze around $300 billion in assets belonging to the Russian central bank.
Designed to damage the Russian economy and make the cost of the Ukraine military operation too high, the restrictions are widely viewed as having fallen far short of their aim. Russia’s GDP growth came in at 3.6% in 2023 and 4.1% last year, according to official figures.
Moscow has dismissed the Western sanctions as “illegal” and warned that seizing its frozen assets would amount to “theft.” President Vladimir Putin has said that Russia has overcome the challenges posed by the sanctions and has even credited them with boosting domestic industries.
Bessent’s comments come asMoscow and Washington have restarted contacts following a phone conversation between Putin and Trump in February and subsequent high-level talksbetween Russian and US delegations in Saudi Arabia.
Earlier this week, reports emerged that Washington directed the State Department and Treasury to draft proposals for easing certain sanctions on Russia. The proposed relief, which could include specific Russian entities and individuals, will reportedly be discussed in the near future.
(If Russia was angry about this it would be in the tone of the article,I don’t see it, so is to trick Ukraine to hurry up and get to the table?)

Ukraine cut off from US satellite imagery – media
Aerospace firm Maxar Technologies has reportedly blocked Kiev’s access to its services
Ukraine has lost access to US satellite imagery after American space technology company Maxar blocked Kiev’s use of its services, a local media outlet reported on Friday. The move follows Washington’s recent decision to freeze military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine.
Ukrainian media outlet Militarnyi has claimed that several anonymous Maxar users have confirmed that they have been denied access to the service. The company has reportedly explained that the restriction had been introduced “in response to an administrative request.”
The outlet noted that the limit appears to apply to both government and private users, adding that the request cited by the company likely refers to US President Donald Trump’s order to cease all intelligence sharing with Ukraine.
Maxar, according to Militarnyi,has been one of the leading providers of high-resolution commercial satellite imagery to Ukraine’s armed forceswho used it to track the movements of Russian troops, assess battlefield conditions and damage to key infrastructure. The US company has not yet confirmed the alleged restriction of services.
The report comes as Washington has halted the delivery of billions of dollars worth of military aid to Ukraine, while theCIA has confirmed that intelligence sharing with Kiev has been suspended. The decision to freeze military support for Ukrainefollows last week’s heated meeting between Trump, US Vice President J.D. Vance and Zelensky at the White House. During the exchange, Trump accused Zelensky of ingratitude and “gambling with World War III” by refusing to seek peace with Russia. The Ukrainian leader was asked to leave the US capital and return only when he was ready for serious negotiations.
On Wednesday, during his address to the US Congress, Trump claimed that he had received a letter from Zelensky in which he had apparently agreed to come to the negotiating table in the near future in order to work towards a peace agreement.
Moscow has welcomed Washington’s suspension of military aid to Kiev, noting that such steps could potentially encourage Ukraine to seek a peaceful resolution to the conflict. At the same time, the Kremlin has expressed cautious optimism about Zelensky’s supposed U-turn on negotiations with Moscow, noting that the Ukrainian leader has yet to lift his legal ban on such contacts.
(Trump taking the power away so Kiev and rogue IC can’t keep attacking Russia)
This goes along with “supposed threat of Trump to Russia”. I guess it must look fair to Kiev!

Kiev claims first combat use of French jets
Moscow has previously dismissed the Mirage 2000 as inferior to modern Russian fighters
Ukraine has deployed French-supplied Mirage 2000 fighter jets in combat for the first time, Air Force spokesman Yury Ignat announced on Friday. The aircraft were used overnight to counter a large-scale Russian attack on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, the spokesman stated.
Kiev received its first batch of fourth-generation jets from France last month. Last October, French Defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu confirmed that Ukrainian pilots were being trained in France to operate the aircraft.
In a Facebook post, Ignat claimed that the jets intercepted over 100 Russian drones and 34 missiles, while also preventing ten missiles from reaching their targets. Ukrainian army spokesman Dmitry Likhovi acknowledged the deployment, noting that the strikes coincided with the first large-scale Russian assault on Ukraine’s infrastructure since Washington halted military aid in an effort to encourage negotiations with Moscow.
The Russian Defense Ministry has confirmed carrying out an overnight strike on Ukrainian energy facilities that support Kiev’s military-industrial complex. It stated that all intended targets were destroyed but did not address Ukraine’s reported use of Mirage 2000 jets.The ministry also reported that Russian forces have conducted seven group strikes across Ukraine since early March, targeting military airfields, ammunition depots, and drone control centers.
France initially announced plans to supply Mirage 2000 jets to Ukraine last summer, but deliveries were repeatedly delayed. While the total number of aircraft provided remains undisclosed, Le Journal du Dimanche reported in October that Ukraine was expected to receive only six planes.
Russian defense conglomerate Rostec has dismissed the Mirage 2000 as outdated, calling it “significantly inferior” to modern Russian fighters. A company representative previously argued that the aircraft share structural vulnerabilities with US-made F-16s, limiting their effectiveness near the frontlines. The long-anticipated delivery of F-16s to Ukraine has had minimal impact on the battlefield, with Kiev losing its first jet during a maiden combat mission in September 2024, and reports of their operational use remaining scarce.

‘We’re out of there’ if Ukraine doesn’t want peace – Trump
Kiev is more difficult to deal with than Moscow, the US president has said
Washington will cease all assistance to Kiev if the latter fails to demonstrate its commitment to reaching peace with Moscow, US President Donald Trump has said. ==Trump also stated that Russia has been more cooperative than Ukraine when it comes to a potential settlement of the conflict.•=
“I have to know that they want to settle [the conflict],” Trump told journalists on Fridayin response to a question about US military aid to Kiev. The president said that he did not currently know if Kiev was truly committed to peace.
“If they don’t want to settle, we’re out of there, because we want them to settle.”
Washington has so far had more productive communication with Moscow on a potential resolution of the conflict, even though Russia “has all the cards” and Ukraine has none, the president said. Trump added that he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin does want peace.
“I think we’re doing very well with Russia,” the US president said, adding that he was “finding it more difficult … to deal with Ukraine.”
Last Friday, Trump and Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky engaged in a tense exchange at the White House. The meeting, intended as a prelude to the signing of an agreement granting the US access to Ukraine’s rare-earth minerals, eventually turned heated. Trump accused the Ukrainian leader of “gambling with World War III” by resisting peace negotiations with Russia. The confrontation led to the deal being abruptly put on hold.
In his address to the US Congress this week, Trump said he had received a letter from Zelensky in which the latter reportedly agreed to come to the negotiating table in the near future.
Following the scandal, the US suspended military assistance to Ukraine and all intelligence sharing operations with Kiev.
Last month, Moscow and Washington held a high-level meeting in Saudi Arabia, where the two sides discussed the Ukraine conflict and agreed to work on restoring ties. Russia has repeatedly stated that it is open to peace talks and has also expressed interest in economic cooperation with the US in a wide range of fields.

Kremlin responds to Trump’s call for nuclear disarmament
Dialogue with the US is necessary,but the arsenals of America’s European allies cannot be ignored, Dmitry Peskov has
Moscow is ready to discuss arms control with Washington, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said, after US President Donald Trump called for nuclear disarmament among world powers.
Peskov told journalists on Friday that strategic stability and nuclear disarmament are topics on Moscow’s agenda,stating that dialogue between Russia and the US on arms control “is necessary.” He added that these discussions would benefit not just the two nations, but international security in general.
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on Thursday, Trump said, “it would be great if we could all denuclearize.” He noted that the US and Russia currently possess the largest nuclear arsenals, while China could reach similar levels in four to five years.
However,Moscow believes that talks should include not only the US, Russia, and China, but European nuclear powers – France and the UK – as well. “It is impossible to just overlook European nuclear arsenals in this dialogue,” the Kremlin spokesman said, pointing to recent remarks by French President Emmanuel Macron.
In an address to the nation on Wednesday, the French leader called Russia a “threat to France and Europe,” and announced that he is considering expanding France’s nuclear umbrella to cover other EU member states. In response,Moscow accused Macron of having aggressive intentions against Russia.
Macron wants to “defeat Russia” and calls it a threat for this very reason, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Thursday. Moscow considers Macron’s statement about widening France’s nuclear umbrella to be a “threat,” he added.
Regarding China’s position on nuclear disarmament, Peskov said it remains to be seen, as Moscow and Beijing have not yet discussed it.
Trump is “getting too far ahead of himself” with the idea of total nuclear disarmament, Mikhail Ulyanov, Russia’s permanent representative to international organizations in Vienna, told Russia 24 TV on Thursday. The destruction of all nuclear arsenals is “off the table at the moment,” he said,adding that “certain reductions, some control measures would be… understandable.”
In January, the US announced the deployment of upgraded nuclear bombs in its bases in Europe. According to media reports,the Pentagon also plans to station nuclear weapons in the UK.
Moscow has repeatedly urged all nations to act responsiblywhen it comes to nuclear weapons as there can be no winners in a nuclear war.
