In this episode of The President’s Daily Brief: We begin with Vladimir Putin’s surprise announcement of a three-day ceasefire in Ukraine. The Kremlin says it’s a humanitarian gesture—but we’ll break down what’s really behind the timing. Then, we turn to Syria, where sectarian clashes near Damascus have left 13 people dead. We’ll examine the growing instability and what triggered the violence. Plus, a widespread blackout across Europe is being blamed on solar plant failures. We’ll look at what happened—and what it reveals about vulnerabilities in the continent’s energy grid. And in today’s Back of the Brief: A $60 million U.S. Navy fighter jet falls overboard from an aircraft carrier. We’ll tell you what went wrong.
