18.02.2025 โ‡ข Day Moscow Spoke While Delta Burned
โŒจA Delta Airlines crash in Toronto dominated morning coverage, with footage showing the aircraft bursting into flames before flipping, injuring 18 passengers. The incident amplified scrutiny of DOGE's FAA personnel cuts from previous days.

US-Russia talks in Saudi Arabia proceeded without Ukrainian representation, marking a shift in Trump's diplomatic approach. Secretary Rubio and Lavrov agreed to appoint negotiating teams and work toward a Trump-Putin meeting, while Zelensky warned against decisions made "behind Ukraine's backs."

The evening brought institutional tensions as a judge rejected attempts to block DOGE's access to federal data, while the White House claimed Musk does not legally head the organization. A court permanently blocked Biden-era student loan forgiveness, while four NYC deputy mayors resigned after corruption charges against Adams were dropped, extending the pattern of administrative upheaval.
