Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has reconfirmed that Ukraine is not willing to cede land to Russia after almost four years of war. In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, starting the deadliest European war since World War II. Zelensky’s comments come as US President Donald Trump is pressuring Ukraine to concede territory to the invading Russia. On Tuesday, Donald Trump told the press that Russia has ‘the upper hand’ and that Ukraine needs to ‘play ball’ with the Kremlin, something that Ukraine is not willing to do.

The ballroom was first announced in April at that $200 million figure, which the White House presented at the time as a solid estimate tied to private funding and a fast construction timeline, but the number climbed quickly — first to $250 million, then to $300 million — before jumping again to the latest total.
The proposed merger stands out as highly unusual, marking an abrupt and unconventional pivot for a company best known for operating a politically aligned social media platform into one of the most speculative and capital-intensive corners of the global energy sector. By seeking to merge with a nuclear fusion firm, Trump Media appears to be positioning itself to ride what many in Silicon Valley and Washington increasingly view as the next strategic bottleneck of the A.I. boom: electricity. If completed, the transaction would create one of the world’s first publicly traded nuclear fusion companies, with the combined group planning to develop what it describes as a “utility-scale fusion power plant” and aiming to bring first power online in the early 2030s, a timeline that reflects both the ambition and uncertainty surrounding commercial fusion. The move suggests a bet that soaring demand from A.I. data centers will make access to vast, stable and carbon-free energy sources a defining advantage, even as fusion remains an unproven technology at scale. Framing the deal as a transformational leap rather than a financial turnaround, Devin Nunes, the chief executive of Trump Media, said: « Fusion power will be the most dramatic energy breakthrough since the onset of commercial nuclear energy in the 1950s ».

In a court filing from the Department of Justice, the Trump administration has said it’s too late to halt the demolition of the White House’s historic East Wing, calling statements in the lawsuit submitted against the White House “moot”. Trump began demolition of the East Wing in October as part of his project to build a 90,000-sq-ft ballroom at an estimated cost of $300m before his term ends in 2029. The court filings also claim the construction’s continuation is a matter of national security, but doesn’t list any reasons why.

While more than 6 million Canadians live without a family doctor, the government of Canada is finally making strides to increase the number of physicians in Canada. Ottawa announced a new “express entry” category for foreign-trained physicians in an effort to address health workforce challenges in Canada. Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Lena Metlege Diab said in a press conference, “We’ve seen the strain in our emergency rooms, we hear it from families waiting for a doctor, and we feel it from the front-line staff who are stretched thin. We’ve heard a clear message from patients, provinces and the medical community, we need more hands on deck,”
