Zelenskyy said Moscow should be “held accountable” for the relentless attacks, which he said undermine the U.S. push for peace. “The more this evil comes from Russia, the harder it will be for everyone to reach any agreements with them. Partners must understand this. First and foremost, this concerns the United States,” the Ukrainian leader said on social media late Monday. “We agreed to all realistic proposals from the United States, starting with the proposal for an unconditional and long-term ceasefire,” Zelenskyy noted.

Zelenskiy says US too often asks Ukraine, not Russia, for concessions | Reuters

The Ukrainian leader, a former television entertainer, acknowledged he was feeling "a little bit" of pressure from Trump, who yesterday said Zelenskiy should not miss the "opportunity" to make peace soon and urged him "to get moving". "The Americans often return to the topic of concessions and too often those concessions are discussed only in the context of Ukraine, not Russia," Zelenskiy said. Instead, Zelenskiy said, he wanted to hear what compromises Moscow would be ready for, as Ukraine had already made many of its own. Russia said its delegation to Geneva would be led by Putin's adviser Vladimir Medinsky, a change from negotiations in Abu Dhabi at which Russia's team was led by military intelligence chief Igor Kostyukov.

Meanwhile, European and US officials are meeting in Berlin to discuss the future of Iran's opposition movement.

In markets, Bitcoin's down 1.25% to $68K as it tracks Nasdaq weakness, with the BTC-Nasdaq correlation now turning positive - https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2026/02/17/crypto-slides-as-tech-stocks-and-gold-retreat-bitcoin-nasdaq-correlation-turns-positive. After Presidents' Day, stock futures are falling with AI disruption concerns dominating the conversation - https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/stock-market-today-dow-sp-500-nasdaq-futures-fall-ahead-of-shortened-week-with-ai-disruption-fears-in-focus-235251983.html.

On the science front, there's a biomining experiment from Cornell and Edinburgh showing that microbes on the ISS can extract platinum and palladium from meteorites.

For tech, I've got PostgreSQL 18.2 with async I/O improvements and the UK's proposed social media restrictions for under-16s alongside new AI chatbot safety regulations. Let me finalize what makes the cut for the roundup. I'm filling in the rest of the global section with the Russia-Ukraine ceasefire talks brokered by the US and the confirmation from five European nations about Navalny's poisoning with a rare toxin. Then moving into markets where Bitcoin's recent slide to $68K is tracking the Nasdaq decline, showing a positive correlation between the two. I need to find a second science story to round out that section—the gut microbiome CAG-170 discovery seems like a solid health angle. But I'm also noticing the Navalny story from mid-February might already be in my previous briefings, so I should verify whether it's actually new or if I've covered it before.

Looking back at what I've already reported, the dart frog toxin confirmation from those five European countries is genuinely fresh—that's a different angle from just the mother's statement. And the Geneva peace talks happening today are actually new developments, not just calls for negotiations. I'll include both of those.

For the tech section, PostgreSQL 18.2 is a solid, verifiable release compared to PocketBlue. The UK social media ban fits better as a tech regulation story than pure politics. But I'm noticing the AI disruption fears and the Wall Street AI sell-off are really the same story about market anxiety over AI—I should only use one. I'll keep the market-focused angle for the MARKETS section and use the India AI Summit as the unique AI story instead.

I also need to remember the exclusion list: no Anthropic $30B, NASA Crew-12, DHS shutdown, or Munich Conference. So my final curated list has 11 items with those two tech stories locked in.

Now adding the AI section with India AI Impact Summit where Modi opened things up with major AI leaders like Altman, Pichai, Amodei and Hassabis all showing up as India positions itself as a global AI player. Then there's the broader market reaction where AI disruption concerns have rippled beyond just tech stocks into logistics, finance and other sectors, triggering a wider sell-off.

Moving to global developments: Russia and Ukraine are in Geneva for formal peace negotiations brokered by the US, though there's already tension with Russia demanding Donbas and Zelenskyy pushing back on what he sees as excessive pressure on Ukraine to make concessions. There's also confirmation from multiple Western allies that Navalny was poisoned with epibatidine from dart frogs, which Russia continues to deny. An opposition conference is happening in Berlin regarding Iran.

Now looking at markets: Bitcoin has dropped to $68K alongside a broader tech selloff, with gold falling 2.4%, and notably the correlation between Bitcoin and the Nasdaq has flipped positive, suggesting they're moving more in sync with macro conditions. Wall Street is reopening after Presidents' Day with futures pointing lower.

In science, there's an interesting experiment from Cornell and Edinburgh showing that fungi can extract precious metals like palladium and platinum from meteorites in microgravity—potentially useful for future asteroid mining operations. There's also emerging research on a gut bacterium called CAG-170 that appears consistently in healthy individuals but is absent in people with chronic conditions.

I'm trying to track down the direct source for that gut bacteria story since it's from ScienceDaily but I don't have the URL yet. I could also swap it out for another recent science story if needed. I'm also noticing the AI disruption angle appears in both the market futures story and the broader industry disruption piece, so I want to make sure those are distinct enough to both warrant inclusion—they are, since one focuses specifically on market movements while the other is about the wider phenomenon. I've got the ISS biomining story with a confirmed URL, but I'm still missing a direct link for the omega-3 fish oil research from ScienceDaily. Let me do a quick search to fill that gap.
