Olympian Defies IOC, Honors War Dead

Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych plans to defy the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and wear a helmet honoring fellow Ukrainian athletes killed in the ongoing war with Russia during the 2026 Winter Games in Italy, according to CBS News. Meanwhile, in other international developments, a senior European intelligence official told the Associated Press that Russian President Vladimir Putin has no desire to end the nearly four-year-long invasion of Ukraine and believes he can outmaneuver the United States during talks about ending the conflict, as reported by ABC News. Domestically, law enforcement is set to release an image of a potential suspect in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, who was abducted from her Arizona home on February 1, as confirmed by ABC News.

Heraskevych stated he would wear the helmet despite potential repercussions from the IOC. "We are able to enjoy sport and enjoy Olympics, it's also because of their sacrifice, and I believe they deserve to be here today with me and also they deserve to be with me on competition day," he told journalists, as reported by CBS News. He added that he would compete with the helmet regardless of any restrictions.

Regarding the Ukraine conflict, the intelligence official, Kaupo Rosin, head of Estonia's foreign intelligence service, said Moscow is "playing for time" in talks with Washington, and there is "absolutely no discussion about how to really cooperate with the U.S. in a meaningful way," according to ABC News.

In the United States, the search for Nancy Guthrie continues after a ransom deadline passed. ABC News reported that Savannah Guthrie has pleaded with the public for help.

In other news, a feud has erupted between Texas Democrats. Former Rep. Colin Allred claimed that state Rep. James Talarico told him he would be a "better candidate" for Senate because he "doesn't have a family," according to Fox News. Allred made the claim during a Tuesday appearance on the "At Our Table" podcast.

Finally, Israeli officials are reportedly warning that Iran's ballistic missiles could trigger solo military action against Tehran, as reported by Fox News. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu plans to discuss Israel's priorities in ongoing nuclear talks with President Donald Trump during an upcoming meeting in Washington, D.C.
