KYIV, Ukraine — The price of U.S. security guarantees to end Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine became explicit this week: Kyiv must give up all of Donbas — about 10% of its territory, or about 15% of its prewar GDP.The United States has asked Ukraine to withdraw from all of the eastern region — including areas it has held during more than 14 years of Russian attacks — before it will finalize the long-term protections it has been discussing with Kyiv for months, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, describing the negotiation in comments to Reuters.The demand followed bilateral talks in Florida with U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and senior adviser Jared Kushner last weekend that Zelenskyy said produced no real progress, a sharper assessment than his earlier claim that the guarantees were “100% ready.”Just three weeks earlier, Zelenskyy tried to close the door on the central trade-off in the talks. Ukraine would “never leave Donbas and the 200,000 Ukrainians who live there,” he told Corriere della Sera.But the battlefield did not slow down to match the diplomacy. Ukraine seized more ground in a February counteroffensive than at any point since 2023, according to the Institute for the Study of War.…

The Pentagon is preparing what its called a “final blow” should diplomatic talks with Iranian officials fail. The Department of War, headed by Pete Hegseth, has said it is developing a plan that will likely include a massive bombing campaign and military ground forces. In interviews with Axios, ruling class officials and sources familiar with the internal discussions describe four major “final blow” options Trump could choose from: Invading or blockading Kharg Island, Iran’s main oil export hub. Invading Larak, an island that helps Iran solidify its control of the Strait of Hormuz. The strategic outpost hosts Iranian bunkers, attack craft that can blow up cargo ships, and radars that monitor movements in the strait. Seizing the strategic island of Abu Musa and two smaller islands, which lie near the western entrance to the strait and are controlled by Iran but also claimed by the UAE. Blocking or seizing ships that are exporting Iranian oil on the eastern side of the Hormuz Strait. These may not be the “final blow” either, as Iran doesn’t seem like it wants to roll over in the war, previously saying that it will end on Iran’s terms, when they decide to end it. The ruling…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., leveled threats to investigate news organizations that have made settlements with President Donald Trump if Democrats take control of Congress in the 2026 midterms.”These studios, these companies, these media conglomerates need to understand that right now it may be carte blanche for them — right now they may be able to have ABC make a payment to the president personally and CBS do the same or change the content, but there’s going to be an investigation into all of this when the Congress changes hands. And if there were improper considerations went into greasing the skids on this, this is going to come to light,” Schiff said on Friday’s installment of “The Town” podcast.”There’s going to be an accounting and companies need to know that if they’re engaged in corrupt or illicit activity or improper activity that there’s going to be accountability… We’re not just going to look past whether there was money changing hands to grease the skids here. That accountability is going to be very important,” Schiff added.MOOD IS ‘HORRIFIC’ INSIDE CNN AS STAFFERS BRACE FOR CHANGE AMID POTENTIAL PARAMOUNT TAKEOVER, INSIDERS SAY The Democratic lawmaker…

Photos by Kenda Lenseigne It’s been said that you should never grocery shop while you’re hungry. That’s because you go into the store with the intention of just picking up a few things and end up walking out with a full cart. Project vehicles tend to follow the same path and take on lives of their own. We buy them with the goal of just fixing what’s needed to get them streetable.  Then, we suddenly find ourselves with an infinite checklist of items we “need.” It’s a domino effect that plagues pretty much anyone who loves cars that borders on having a film crew from the TV series Intervention show up to document that addiction.  Our friend Mitch went down the proverbial rabbit hole and ended up creating a rig that’d make WhistlinDiesel sh*t the bed. Many of us have fleeting thoughts on kitting out an old military vehicle, but most lack the resources to make it happen. With two Humvees already in his possession (no, not the GM version), Mitch already knew what he was up against when he saw this ’90 BMY M923A2 sitting on a used car lot for an unbelievably reasonable price of around $12,000.

Editor’s note: This is a developing story.The U.S. military has fired over 850 Tomahawk cruise missiles in four weeks of war with Iran, burning through the precision weapons at a rate that has alarmed some Pentagon officials and prompted internal discussions about how to make more available, The Washington Post reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.Reuters could not immediately verify the report. “The U.S. military has more than enough munitions, ammo, and weapons stockpiles to achieve the goals of Operation Epic Fury laid out by President Trump — and beyond,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement to Reuters.“Nevertheless, President Trump has always been intensely focused on (strengthening) our Armed Forces and he will continue to call on defense contractors to more speedily build American-made weapons, which are the best in the world,” Leavitt’s statement said.Asked for comment, the Pentagon, which Trump has ordered renamed Department of War, said the military had all it required. “The Department of War has everything it needs to execute any mission at the time and place of the President’s choosing and on any timeline,” chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement to Reuters.
