## Resource

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Cracks are beginning to emerge inside Vladimir Putin's ruling coalition as influential oligarchs, political insiders, and even some longtime war hawks question whether Russia can achieve victory in Ukraine. A new ceasefire agreement could bring calm to Israel's northern border. We break down what's in the deal, what it means for regional security, and why Hezbollah remains the critical wildcard. Western intelligence officials are warning that Chinese operatives are increasingly using LinkedIn to identify and recruit potential intelligence sources. We'll explain how the effort works and who is being targeted.
