Russia and the United States agreed Tuesday in Saudi Arabia to work toward ending the war in Ukraine and improving diplomatic and economic ties, marking a remarkable diplomatic shift under President Trump. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced three initial goals: restoring embassy staffing, supporting Ukraine peace talks, and exploring broader cooperation, though plans for a Trump-Putin summit remain uncertain. See who was at the table. The meeting was the most extensive U.S.-Russia dialogue since Moscow's 2022 invasion, though Ukraine and European allies voiced concerns about being sidelined. Rubio stressed the talks were a starting point, with further work needed to secure peace. | Three Arrested in Multi-State Cult Killings Authorities in Maryland arrested three suspected members of the "cult-like" Zizian group, allegedly linking them to multiple killings across the U.S., officials announced Monday. The group's alleged leader, Jack "Ziz" Lasota, along with Michelle Zajko and Daniel Blank, face weapons and obstruction charges as part of an ongoing investigation. Read an in-depth article about the group here. The Zizians, described as tech-savvy radicals bonded by veganism, gender identity issues, and artificial intelligence, have been connected to the January shooting of a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Vermont, the 2022 sword attack and the recent murder of a California landlord, and the unsolved shooting deaths of Zajko's parents in Pennsylvania. Investigators believe the group's violence stems from a mix of personal disputes, anti-authority beliefs, and efforts to cover their tracks. | Transportation Sec. Backs Airline Safety Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said earlier this week that air travel remains the safest mode of transportation, even as four major U.S. aviation disasters in 2025 have claimed at least 85 lives. The latest incident occurred Monday when a Delta jet carrying 80 people crashed and flipped while landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport, injuring 18 but causing no fatalities. See a video here. The Jan. 29 midair collision near Washington that killed 67 was the deadliest U.S. airliner crash in nearly 16 years, followed by fatal crashes in Philadelphia, Alaska, and Arizona. Despite 87 aviation accidents reported this year, experts and federal data emphasize that flying on U.S. commercial airlines is still statistically safer than driving.
