Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced on Saturday that the United States had set a June deadline for Ukraine and Russia to reach an agreement to end the nearly four-year-long war, according to Euronews. The announcement followed trilateral talks brokered by the US in Abu Dhabi, which failed to produce a breakthrough. Simultaneously, The Washington Post saw a leadership change, with former Tumblr head Jeff D’Onofrio stepping in as acting CEO following the departure of Will Lewis after mass layoffs.
Zelenskyy’s statement, reported by Euronews, indicated that the US was pushing for a resolution to the conflict by June. Russia continues to demand that Ukraine cede the Donbas region, a condition Kyiv has repeatedly rejected. The announcement came in the wake of overnight Russian strikes on energy infrastructure, which forced nuclear power plants to reduce output. If the June deadline is not met, the Trump administration will likely take further action, though the specific consequences were not detailed in the report.
The Euronews news bulletins from February 7th, 2026, highlighted the urgency of the situation, with multiple broadcasts throughout the day covering breaking news and world events. These bulletins also included reports on other global developments, such as heavy snowfall in Japan and the opening of the Winter Olympics.
Meanwhile, The Washington Post is undergoing a significant leadership transition. Will Lewis, the former CEO, stepped down after mass layoffs earlier in the week, as reported by The Verge. Jeff D’Onofrio, who previously served as CEO of Tumblr from 2017 to 2022, has been appointed as acting CEO and publisher. D’Onofrio had been serving as the CFO of The Post since June of the previous year.
In other news, New York lawmakers proposed a three-year moratorium on new data center construction permits, according to TechCrunch. This move reflects growing concerns about the environmental and economic impacts of data centers, with both Democrats and Republicans expressing reservations. Critics, including Senator Bernie Sanders and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, have voiced concerns about the potential strain on resources and increased electricity costs.
