UK could deploy fighter jets over ukraine.....The British government is debating the possibility of an air policing mission over Ukraine, The Times reported on Tuesday. The potential deployment of Typhoon fighter jets from bases in Poland is viewed as an alternative to stationing a significant number of ground troops and would require Moscow’s consent, the report says. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has stated that the UK is “ready and willing” to station troops in Ukraine as part of a security arrangement following a potential truce with Russia. A senior government source told the newspaper that an air patrol initiative involving British military aircraft and anti-aircraft systems protecting them could complement a small number of troops inside Ukraine. The proposed arrangement would be modeled after NATO’s air power sharing scheme, which allows patrols over the Baltic States, likely requiring dozens of Typhoons on standby. A Royal Air Force source remarked, “We are prepared to do whatever we are told to do.” Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelenksy has suggested that at least 200,000 foreign troops would be needed for a sufficient security guarantee. However, European NATO allies are reportedly considering a much smaller force – an approach that, in Zelensky’s words, would amount to “nothing.” Meanwhile, the US has ruled out any involvement of its military or NATO as an organization in any potential peacekeeping arrangement. Senior American and Russian officials convened in Saudi Arabia this week to mend bilateral relations, with hopes that a diplomatic thaw will lead to a swift resolution of the Ukraine conflict. After Tuesday’s meeting, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stressed that Moscow will not tolerate any military presence of NATO nations in Ukraine, “even under the EU flag or as part of national contingents.” The British publication underscored the dilemma, titling its report: “British Typhoons may help keep peace in Ukraine – if Russia drops objections.” Following a shift in Washington’s Ukraine policy under President Donald Trump, several European nations, including Poland, Germany, and France, have expressed skepticism about deploying troops to Ukraine without US support. Some officials view a UN mission as a viable option that Russia might endorse, The Times said. https://www.rt.com/news/612994-uk-air-patrol-ukraine/

US President Donald Trump’s claim that Vladimir Zelensky's approval ratings are dangerously low is Russian disinformation, the Ukrainian leader has insisted, claiming that a majority of Ukrainians trust his leadership.
During a White House press conference following a meeting between US and Russian officials in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, Trump suggested that Zelensky’s approval rating in Ukraine is 4%.
The Kiev International Institute of Sociology (KMIS) said on Wednesday, however, that in a survey in January, 57% of Ukrainians expressed trust in Zelensky, an increase from 54% the previous month.
Zelensky cited the Ukrainian poll as counter-evidence to Trump’s skepticism about the level of public support he enjoys. He noted that Ukrainian officials “are aware of this disinformation and recognize that it is coming from Russia.” He stressed that “if anyone wants to replace me right now, it’s not going to happen.”
He also urged Trump’s special envoy for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, who is currently visiting Kiev, to “speak to the people and ask them if they trust their president, whether they trust [Russian President Vladimir] Putin. Let him ask them about Trump” and his remarks.
Speaking to media on Wednesday Trump pointed to the absence of elections in Ukraine due to Zelensky’s declaration of martial law. “I hate to say it, but he’s down at 4% approval.” He characterized the situation in Ukraine as dire, saying it has been “blown to smithereens” and is nearly impossible to live in.
Although Zelensky’s presidential term expired last year, he has not transferred authority to the parliament speaker, as mandated by the Ukrainian Constitution.
Zelensky has argued that holding an election under the current circumstances is both legally and technically infeasible, and that Ukrainians would oppose it amid the conflict with Russia. He also claimed that if an election were held, he would secure a second term. Recent opinion polls, however, suggest that he would lose to retired General Valery Zaluzhny in a runoff.

Zelensky's Days As US Puppet are Numbered as Trump Labels Him a 'Dictator,' Calls for ElectionsTrump didn’t mince words when he called Zelensky “a dictator without elections,” and questioned why he estimates that the U.S. has spent over $350 BILLION on the war in Ukraine, and Zelensky claims half of the funds are “missing.” This, after Zelensky accused Trump of falling for Russian propaganda, being stuck in a “disinformation bubble,” and he claimed that Ukraine is “not for sale.”
