Ukraine's acceptance of U.S.-brokered peace terms highlights ongoing tensions, as concerns about negotiating with Russia linger. The Pentagon's probe into Senator Mark Kelly sparks debate over the politicization of military matters. The U.S. also designates a Venezuelan-linked group as terrorists, which could point to future military actions. These topics reveal the complex interplay of law, politics, and international relations.
