In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:

We begin in Syria, where the nation struggles to return to normalcy as Iran largely withdraws—marking a major setback for Tehran’s regional ambitions.

Later, trouble for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, whose approval ratings have plummeted to their lowest point since the Russian invasion began, fueling growing doubts among Ukrainians.

Plus, the latest from South Korea, where rival government forces face off outside the presidential compound as impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol remains inside—refusing to comply with detention and search warrants.

And finally, in today’s Back of the Brief, a new UN report reveals a sharp rise in executions in Iran last year, including about 40 in just one week in December.
