Air defense system in Kyiv

The air defense system was operational in the Darnytsia district of Kyiv due to enemy drones. Throughout the night, Russian drones were flying over various regions of Ukraine. Air alerts were announced twice in Kyiv: first at 10:16 PM and then at 4:05 AM, but no drones were shot down.

The Russians launched missiles at Ukraine as morning approached. According to the Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, cruise missiles were recorded in the airspace of Kyiv region at 6:22 AM, heading towards Stavyshche and Bila Tserkva.

Consequences in Kyiv region

As a result of the enemy attack in the Obukhiv district of Kyiv region, one woman was injured. The press service of the Kyiv regional military administration reported that a 44-year-old woman sustained a cut wound to her leg. She was hospitalized in a local hospital. Additionally, the attack resulted in partial destruction of a private house and economic outbuildings.

Trump and Russian resources

U.S. President Donald Trump stated that he wishes to enter into several economic agreements with Russia, particularly concerning the use of Russian rare earth resources. This information was reported by 'Glavkom', citing Trump’s remarks.

According to Trump, Russia is the largest country by area and has valuable resources that could be utilized in the U.S.

'We are trying to enter into several agreements with Russia regarding economic development, and much of what we want is located there. I don't know if we can do this, but we would gladly cooperate if it happens. You know, they have a great number of rare resources,' Trump said.

It is known that Russian President Vladimir Putin also expressed readiness to cooperate with the U.S. regarding rare earth metals, particularly in the occupied territories of Donetsk region.

Revocation of bans by Trump

Donald Trump's administration revoked a ruling that prohibited allies from using American weapons in violation of international humanitarian law. The Washington Post reports that the relevant order was signed by U.S. National Security Advisor Mike Walczak on February 21. This order cancels the National Security Memorandum-20 (NSM-20). This information was confirmed by several officials on condition of anonymity.

It is noted that this is not the first step of the Trump administration toward changing policies on human rights protection. Throughout his first presidential term, Trump prioritized economic interests in arms transfer issues. In January, he began dismantling the department created under the previous administration to protect civilians during military operations.
