Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said at a press conference in Kyiv on Sunday he would be willing to resign from his post in exchange for peace in Ukraine or NATO membership.
“If it is peace for Ukraine, and if you really want me to leave my post, I’m ready,” Zelenskyy said in Ukrainian. “Alternatively, I can trade this for NATO membership, if such conditions exist, immediately, so we don’t have lengthy discussions. I’m focusing on Ukraine’s security today, not in 20 years. And I don’t intend to stay in power for decades.”
Zelenskyy’s offer is a major concession amid an ongoing public dispute with President Donald Trump, which escalated last week when Trump suggested that the Ukrainian president was respons...

Washington, D.C. - Feb. 22, 2025 - US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Hamas must free the remaining 63 hostages it is holding, or face annihilation
“Hamas’ treatment of hostages, including its brutal murder of the Bibas family, further illustrates their savagery and is yet another reason why we are saying these terrorists must release all of the hostages immediately or be destroyed,” Rubio says on X.
Baltimore, MD - Feb. 22, 2025 - Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott's hiring of a new out-of-state spokesperson has a city councilman questioning the impact of city worker residency regulations.
Kamau Marshall was hired in late 2024 as the Scott administration’s director of communications, a vacancy left after long-time aid Bryan Doherty was promoted to Mayor Scott’s deputy chief of staff for communications and strategic policy.
Spotlight on Maryland verified Marshall’s position through an automatic email reply received from inquiries directed to the mayor’s office. Two members of the city’s human resources staff also confirmed the employment of the new spokesperson but requested anonymity as they are not authorized to speak to the media.

Baltimore, MD - Feb. 22, 2025 - Mayor Brandon Scott took to X on Saturday to release a statement opposing President Donald Trump's executive order targeting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs.
During his first 48 hours in office, Trump signed sweeping executive orders fulfilling a number of campaign pledges, including weeding out what he calls "illegal and immoral discrimination programs," under the guise of DEI.
The White House said it's a revocation of a Biden-era order that forced Federal agencies and entities to submit “Equity Action Plans,” which they argue "demonstrated immense public waste and shameful discrimination."
"Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts were never about providing opportunities to unqualified individuals but about ensuring that ...

Baltimore, MD - Feb. 22, 2025 - Precautionary testing found elevated levels of legionella in three Baltimore City courthouses, according to a news release.
It’s the second time in around two months that the city has found elevated levels of legionella in its courthouses.
The courthouses reopened around a week later.
In a news release, officials said Baltimore will be conducting mitigation efforts such as flushing and chlorination treatments over the weekend.
Officials said in the release that the age of buildings and the design of plumbing systems likely contributed to the elevated levels.
The city will continue to monitor the levels in the coming months and determine if more efforts to mitigate the levels are needed.
