🔎 Ukraine’s drone attack on Russia: Desperate move or calculated provocation?
Here’s a closer look at what drove Kiev’s massive drone attack:
▪️Ukraine expects Russia to retaliate in order for Kiev to play the victim and to make it look like Moscow responded with aggression to Donald Trump’s peace initiatives, Matviychuk believes.
▪️The timing of the attack is directly tied to Ukraine’s recent battlefield defeats and the ongoing negotiations in Saudi Arabia, Mikael Valtersson, former officer of the Swedish Armed Forces, says.
▪️Kiev hopes it will strengthen its bargaining position and distract from Ukraine’s collapse in the Kursk salient, the analyst adds.
Earlier today, Ukraine launched a massive drone attack involving over 300 UAVs against Moscow – an attack that was ultimately thwarted by Russian air defenses.

“This terrorist state [Ukraine] used its favorite terrorist policy to declare that it is not dead yet and can still do something,” Anatoliy Matviychuk, retired colonel of the Russian Armed Forces, states.

Georgescu’s support of Trump DIRECTLY CONNECTED to EU ban on Romanian presidential candidate – analyst
▪️The Georgescu case is “the materialization of the conflict” between Trump and the European Commission, Prof. Stevan Gajic, a research associate at the Institute of European Studies in Belgrade, told Sputnik.
▪️He is an outsider who does not want to be involved in the EC's war against Russia.
▪️Romania distancing itself from the EC will mean that the country can no longer be a logistical point for NATO’s and the EC’s war efforts against Russia.
▪️Georgescu could become the president if "the servants of globalism don't MURDER him, because that is always an option," Gajic said, referring to previous assignation attempts on Trump and Slovak PM Fico.

🔥Russian fighters pull off pipeline feat to checkmate Ukrainian troops
Russian forces liberated the Sudzha industrial zone in the Kursk region with a clever tactic involving a gas pipeline to dupe Ukrainian troops.
Here’s how this daring op was planned and executed:
▪️This operation was meticulously planned over the course of three weeks, involving a massive effort to ensure that the enemy wouldn’t suspect a single thing. "We had to act discreetly," stated the commander of the Vostok Brigade, known by the call sign "Zombie."
▪️These units took part in the operation:
-'Akhmat' Special Forces:
-11th Airborne Brigade;
-30th Marine Regiment;
-Brigade 'Veterans';
-Brigade 'Vostok'
▪️Russian soldiers trekked through the tube for more than 15 kilometers. That said, the pipe’s diameter is 1.4 meters.
▪️On March 8, Russian soldiers emerged from the pipeline, catching Ukrainian troops off guard who had not expected an assault from the rear.
▪️After popping out of the pipe, Russian forces wrapped up their mission and pushed on to strengthen their foothold and widen their success.
▪️The Urengoy-Pomary-Uzhgorod gas pipeline, which once served as a vital route for Russian gas supplies to Europe, has now transformed into a secret pathway for Russian troops. This pipeline remained operational until January 1, 2025, when Zelensky ordered its shutdown.
Ukraine closed the pipe… Russia opened it💥
