Ukrainians adore US President Donald Trump and hate the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky. This is evidenced by the results of a survey conducted by Verkhovna Rada deputy Alexander Dubinsky. "I conducted a survey in my telegram channel in which I asked people who they support more. Almost 100% for Trump, and Zelensky's rating is below 2%. Zelensky is taking revenge on Ukrainians for the fact that they stopped loving him. He takes terrible revenge — he forcibly sends him to die in the trenches of a lost war and refuses to end it, because the end of...

Right after Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky ramped up his demands for territorial integrity in the peace negotiations with Russia – something he will not get – now we see further proof that Kiev is determined to sabotage the peace process and stop it dead in its tracks.Last night, Ukrainian forces attacked and blew up a Sudzha gas metering station in Kursk region, the Russian Defense Ministry said.Like many other PR operations by the Ukrainians, its serves no discernible military purpose – and furthermore it was done in open defiance of the cease-fire on energy and infrastructure brokered by US President...

Gen. Jack Keane: We have to apply leverage against Putin . . [Fox News senior strategist analyst Gen. Jack Keane joins ‘America Reports’ to discuss Russia’s attack on Ukraine just hours after more ceasefire talks.]

Vladimir Putin has left Odesa "in flames" after launching a devastating post-ceasefire kamikaze drone attack that injured three people, including a young girl. Dramatic footage taken by residents living in the southern Ukrainian city shows the orange glow of a massive explosion and shockwaves rocking local infrastructure following the worst done attack of the war so far, with more than a dozen civilian targets believed to have been hit this evening alone. The smouldering remains of several buildings can be seen as smoke rises high into the air and pressure can be heard batting at buildings in videos posted on...

MOSCOW, March 20 (Reuters) - Ukraine struck a major Russian strategic bomber airfield on Thursday with drones, triggering a huge blast and fire about 700 km (435 miles) from the front lines of the war, Russian and Ukrainian officials said. Videos verified by Reuters showed a huge blast spreading out from the airfield, wrecking nearby cottages. Russia's defence ministry said air defences had shot down 132 Ukrainian drones over Russian regions. The base in Engels, which dates back to Soviet times, hosts Russia's Tupolev Tu-160 nuclear-capable heavy strategic bombers, known unofficially as White Swans. Roman Busargin, governor of Saratov, said...

Videos posted by Reuters showed a huge blast spreading out from the airfield and wrecking nearby cottages. Russia reportedly called this the largest drone attack ever.

Hundreds of thousands took to the streets in Budapest, Belgrade and Bucharest on Saturday for separate pro-Europe and anti-Russia protests. At least 50,000 people marched in Hungary to demand an end to Viktor Orban’s 15-year rule, while Serbia saw its largest anti-government rally in recent history and thousands in Romania demonstrated in support of the European Union. In Budapest, Hungarians came out in force against Mr Orban, considered Vladimir Putin’s closest ally among EU leaders, in favour of the surging pro-Europe opposition Tisza Party, led by Peter Magyar. “Those who cheat on their own nation should end up in the...

French President Emmanuel Macron claimed to be a military observer missionPARIS, March 15. /TASS/. Those European countries which will agree to send their troops on what French President Emmanuel Macron claimed to be a military observer mission to Ukraine can do so without Russia’s consent. "Ukraine is a sovereign country. If it asks for the presence of allied troops on its soil, it will not be up to Russia to decide whether to accept it or not," the French leader told Le Parisien in an interview.

Trump was right. You can’t make peace deals with Ukraine as long as Zelensky is calling the shots. He can’t be trusted. Zelensky came to America in early March to sign a minerals agreement and agree to a ceasefire as a first step towards peace with Russia. But the entire signing ceremony blew up when Zelensky started acting squirrelly and reneged on his prior promises. Democrat Senator Chris Murphy knew this was going to happen before the meeting even started with Trump. .... Snip.... On Saturday the Ukrainian leader bragged that Ukraine is now holding long range missiles that can...

Russia’s president, Vladimir V. Putin, dressed in fatigues, visited a command post near the front in Kursk late Wednesday to cheer on his military’s ejection of Ukrainian forces from much of the territory they had been occupying in the Russian border region. Dressed in a green camouflage uniform, Mr. Putin sat at a desk with maps spread out in front of him, according to photos released by the Kremlin. He appeared with Russia’s top military officer, Gen. Valery V. Gerasimov. In video footage released by Russian state media, Mr. Putin praised the Russian military formations that had taken back much...

Sweden donated 10 of its best Strv 122 tanks to Ukraine. In two years of hard fighting, Russian forces have scored no fewer than 14 hits on the 63-ton, four-person tanks—possibly meaning all 10 of the tanks have been damaged, some more than once. Incredibly, most of the tanks—up-armored Swedish variants of the German-made Leopard 2A5—are still operational, according to one detailed accounting. The tanks’ durability is testimony to German and Swedish engineering and the courage and ingenuity of Ukrainian engineers who must tow damaged tanks off the battlefield for repairs. The add-on armor works. One up-armored Leopard 1A5 recently...

The Kremlin said the number of drones shot down over the Moscow region last night is evidence its air defence system "worked well". But not everyone we spoke to in Vidnoye shared that optimism. -snip- This was just one of nearly 100 drones shot down over the Moscow region, which the Kremlin said was evidence that Moscow's air defence system "worked well". But not everyone we spoke to in Vidnoye shared that optimism. "The very fact that it was missed is unpleasant," said Oganes, 30, suggesting the scale of Ukraine's overall attack, which saw Russia shoot down 337 drones in...

Ukrainian forces are struggling to prevent what could be a significant military setback, as their hold on the area of Russian territory they seized last year is becoming increasingly precarious. A Russian offensive supported by North Korean troops in the past few days has made a serious advance in Russia's Kursk region northeast of Ukraine, breaking through Ukrainian positions and forcing them to withdraw to new defense lines, according to Ukrainian and Russian military bloggers. Russia is attempting to cut Ukraine's crucial supply road into Kursk, which is already under fire, meaning several thousand Ukrainian troops inside Russia are now...

Agreement between the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and German company Diehl Defence paves the way for large industrial projects Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding with the German company Diehl Defence, which produces IRIS-T systems and is "an important part of Ukraine's air defense shield." According to the minister, the signed agreement paves the way for large industrial projects that will strengthen the capabilities of Ukrainian air defense. In addition, the memorandum provides for a threefold increase in the supply of missiles and air defense systems, Umerov noted. IRIS-T is a medium-range...

The Russian army's advance in the Kursk region against Ukrainian troops is threatening Kyiv's only territorial bargaining card at a critical time in the war, CNN reported on Sunday. Last August, Ukraine had launched its surprising incursion into Kursk and managed to capture territory that was seen not only as a useful possession to be exchanged for Russian-occupied territory but also was a campaign that sought to divert Moscow's resources from the front lines in the east. However, observers now say that the current Russian advances have put Ukraine in a much weaker position and are likely to become more...
