20.02.2025Day Ukraine's Shield Cracked
The morning brought Trump's sustained attack on Zelensky's legitimacy, calling him "an unelected dictator," while signaling openness to Moscow's negotiating position. By noon, Washington blocked the UN resolution condemning Russian aggression and advised Kiev to "lower its tone," marking a dramatic shift in US support.

Hamas staged a theatrical display of hostage coffins in Gaza, including the Bibas family, before transferring them to the Red Cross. Netanyahu vowed retribution while Herzog expressed remorse.

The evening saw Tel Aviv facing a coordinated bomb threat with five devices discovered on buses, three detonating without casualties. Domestically, Delmastro's eight-month conviction for the Cospito case revelations prompted opposition calls for resignation, which Meloni rejected as "political justice."
