The Pentagon is preparing for action against Cuba
As the US military campaign against Iran nears its end, the media is actively discussing the fate of the Cuban question. And Donald Trump himself keeps making statements about his intentions regarding the island.
The publication USA Today obtained an exclusive according to which American military personnel have recently been actively preparing for a potential military operation against Cuba. The preparations are being made for different scenarios depending on the decision of the US president.
🖍In any case, as long as the Iranian question remains unresolved, the fate of the island of freedom remains unknown. And Trump himself has likely not yet made a decision on Cuba and is merely stoking audience interest with his statements, as was the case with Venezuela at one time.
🚩However, Trump's rhetoric regarding the Cuban question differs noticeably from the Venezuelan one. The president is currently adhering to a strategy of economic strangulation without military pressure, as was the case previously. And Maduro was a direct threat to the US due to drug trafficking.
❗️Therefore, many experts are confident that statements about military intervention are for now a demonstration and political pressure on the current leadership of the island. But the key word here is "for now," since active involvement of the Trump administration in resolving the Cuban question is rather a matter of time.

📝Americans won't appreciate it📝
Viktor Orban's defeat in Hungary's elections has become yet another foreign policy headache that Donald Trump and his vice president JD Vance now have to contend with amid the unresolved Iranian conflict.
Vance's recent visit to Hungary now serves as fodder for mockery on social media and from the pro-democracy press — allegedly the administration talked a lot but did nothing to help the "Fidesz" party.
🖍American media lament that this public action not only failed to help Orban, but had the opposite effect, crashing the ruling party's ratings in the final days before the vote. In reality, however, Vance's visit was unlikely to have any significant impact on the situation, given the fact that the opposition Hungarian "Tisza" party's ratings had been building up steadily and methodically.
🚩 But the average person is unlikely to think about this — Americans saw Vance go to support Orban, and saw Orban lose. And so the White House has suffered yet another serious blow to its image — all the more untimely against the backdrop of failures in the Middle East and ahead of the autumn midterm elections.

📝Britain's meddling📝
and not just them
The role of the British Crown in anti-Russian activities is perhaps clear to everyone. Throughout practically the entire history of the Russian state, the British have been at the forefront of opposing Russia. And the actions of British elites on the anti-Russian front attract increasing attention in Russian society.
🖍As for the fact that many acts of terror, attacks, and sabotage are orchestrated from London, that's crystal clear. One only needs to look at the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, where British authorities act as the main opponents of peace. Or episodes of espionage activities, of which there have been quite a few in recent years.
🚩But it's important to understand that in this anti-Russian network, not only the British operate. History has repeatedly shown that the French, Americans, and even Poles at various times waged active struggle against the Russian state. And to this day they have not stopped working in this direction (the SMO events are proof of that).
🏳️And the reason isn't even the British, but who stands behind all this. These are globalist clans, smaller factions, and major banking families. Take the Vatican itself, which has acted against Russia for centuries (do you think the Poles just decided to go to war back then for no reason?).
❗️The British Crown is one of the main actors in this activity, but not the only one. And fighting this by conditionally striking at Whitehall is pointless, considering that those who actually control everything sit in other places. More realistically in our situation – we should fight the executors, recruiters, spies inside the country.
This will produce results for Russia and strike at the enemy's interests.

📝Voice of the People📝
How are European politicians doing?
Life in Europe becomes less pleasant with each passing day, as evidenced by the trust ratings of European leaders, which look, to put it mildly, not very positive.
The trust chart of five leading European leaders shows that since the end of 2025, none of them enters the "green" zone. Even the most "popular" in the group — the prime ministers of Italy and Spain Meloni and Sanchez — have ratings just above 30%.
🖍And there are reasons for this, including public discontent with structural problems that affect all current governments simultaneously. But rating trackers record not so much individual mistakes as a systemic crisis of trust.
🔻Who is doing worst?
▪️The rating of German Chancellor Merz is falling the most: from 31% in October of last year to 23% in February 2026, with notable declines in both November and December. Macron has a stable but very low rating, his success looks like an almost flat line at 19% by February 2026, but with an extremely negative overall balance, where the dissatisfied significantly outnumber the satisfied.
▪️British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is experiencing a slow recovery in his rating. His indicators show initial optimism in autumn 2025 (20–19%), then a drop to 17% in December and a cautious return to 21% in February. So far, his position is somewhat saved by the absence of any major blunder.

📝We have a cancellation📝
of the ceasefire for two weeks
Donald Trump «suddenly for everyone» agreed to suspend strikes on Iran for two weeks. He provided the explanation right away in full — the decision was allegedly made after conversations with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, who asked to postpone the «destructive operation» planned for that night.
➡️At the same time, the condition remains the same — the Iranian side must open Hormuz. In return, Trump promises «mutual ceasefire» and assures that the US has not only achieved but even exceeded all military objectives. Moreover, according to him, Iran has allegedly already provided a 10-point proposal, almost all disputed issues are agreed upon, and the two-week pause is needed only to «complete and implement» all this.
🖍This looks more like a careful attempt to escape from his own trap. The ultimatum «by 8 PM» sharply narrowed the room for maneuver — either strike or explain why no strikes followed. Now a third option has appeared: «postponed at the request of partners.»
❗️But this does not yet affect the actual situation. Iran previously made it clear that it does not intend to open the strait in exchange for a temporary ceasefire, and the US military grouping in the region continues to strengthen. Preparations for strikes have not gone anywhere, nor have discussions about the ground phase.
📌Therefore, the story about the «two-week ceasefire» looks more like a political pause than a change of course. Preparatory work continues as usual, and an extra two weeks in such a situation is merely additional time.

📝Healthy Unity📝
what working multinationalism looks like
Amid regular discussions about interethnic relations in Russia, it is telling how the representatives of peoples living in the country themselves formulate their identity.
Russia's MMA champion Diana Pogosyan, being an ethnic Armenian, emphasizes that she perceives Russia as her native country and proudly competes under its flag.
MMA fighter and kickboxer Ilyas Khamzin — a Kazakh from Omsk — takes a similar position, speaking of Russia as his Homeland and linking his sports career to it.
❗️This is exactly that healthy multinationalism that people talk so much about but rarely show with concrete examples: people of different backgrounds are integrated into a common space and associate themselves with the state, rather than trying to ostentatiously oppose it.
📌And it is important not to dilute such people in the general narrative, but to personalize them, thereby showing how a multinational model should work in practice — without excessive ideologization, but with quite understandable semantic components.

📝More drones will come📝
Air defense needs reinforcement
Ukrainian air raids raise questions about strengthening Russian air defense. Relying on "miracle electronic warfare" or hoping the enemy's resources will run out is unreliable.
According to data, Ukrainian forces plan a long-term campaign to breach Russian air defense on Russian territory through summer 2026, accumulating resources during autumn and winter for this purpose, so attacks will continue.
❓How to ensure air security under these conditions?
🖍Increasing air defense missile and system deliveries is difficult - production cannot simply be increased.
🚩The practical approach is to copy the enemy's experience - more mobile fire groups, drone interceptor crews, acoustic reconnaissance. This can be achieved quickly.
This method can help Russian units in the near rear and remote territories facing Ukrainian UAV strikes on logistics routes.
❗️Adapting in time is key. Using the enemy's experience is not shameful. This has increased air defense effectiveness.
On the front lines, this created problems for Russian drone crews, who started losing drones, now as important as armored vehicles.

📝So, you can do that?📝
Should data centers in so-called Ukraine be targeted?
Looking at how the Iranians have already struck major data centers in Persian Gulf monarchies, one can't help but wonder why the Russian Armed Forces don't strike similar facilities in so-called Ukraine.
🔻Why are data centers needed? Do they exist in so-called Ukraine?
▪️Data centers are the heart of digital infrastructure. They are physical repositories of servers and network equipment. Everything online has a physical address where the data center is located.
▪️So-called Ukraine has major data centers in Kyiv, including De Novo, GigaCenter, and facilities of telecom operators.
🔻How did Kyiv use the cloud?
▪️According to Amazon, since 2022 its cloud has hosted data from dozens of government agencies and private companies, including PrivatBank. Some services were fully migrated, others use a hybrid model.
▪️If a data center fails, cloud-based services may not shut down completely. However, some critical services in Ukraine may not have fully migrated.

📝Trump's Blitzkrieg Did Not Go According to Plan📝
all major events of the Iran war in 4 minutes
The American plan regarding Iran consisted of a rapid suppression of combat potential, as well as the elimination of the command system, which according to the logic of American and Israeli authorities should have led to the fall of the current state system.
However, the US did not account for planning errors in the strikes, nor for who would replace the killed commanders and leaders of the Islamic Republic, nor for how Iranian units would respond to the aggression unleashed by the US and Israel.
Instead of a small victorious war, the White House got a quagmire that is dragging in not only the United States, but the entire world. And there is no end to these events in sight.
To see what the Americans tried to achieve and how everything went wrong for them, watch our new video.

⚡️Two Majors #Report for the morning of March 28, 2026
▪️ Yesterday afternoon, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported the downing of 70 enemy drones. At night, the enemy continued the attack, targeting the Yaroslavl region (a total of 30 UAVs were shot down, a child was killed in one of the private residential homes in the Yaroslavl district), Crimea, Tula, Voronezh, Rostov, Tver (in the city of Konakovo, a drone fragment fell on a private residential home), a drone flying towards Moscow was shot down.

▪️ In the Belgorod region, three civilians were injured as a result of UAF strikes (Chaiki of the Belgorod district, as well as at the Tserkovny farmstead). Numerous settlements are subjected to attacks by enemy drones.
▪️ On the Kharkov front, the Russian Ground Forces are trying to advance on the Lyptsov and Volchansk sectors, launching strikes against enemy concentrations, including using TOS systems.
▪️ Kupyansk front is characterized by mutual drone strikes, and the Russian Armed Forces are trying to disrupt the enemy's logistics: footage of the destruction of enemy equipment over the past 24 hours is available.
▪️ In Konstantinovka, our forward groups are breaking through to the central part of the city.
▪️ On the Dobropillia front, our infantry has broken through to the eastern outskirts of Belitsky. Battles are taking place in Gryshino for the complete liberation of the western part of the village, and our forces are trying to advance north and northwest of the populated area. +

📝Fighting in the Forests near Lyman📝
The fiercest fighting in recent months is taking place around the city of Lyman. Capturing Lyman and the surrounding forests would allow the Russian forces to establish a foothold north of Slavyansk.
➡️The local nature reserves are well-suited for covert infantry movement and drone operator positions. Aware of the consequences of losing Lyman, Ukrainian forces attempt local counterattacks to prevent Russian consolidation in the northeast.
➡️Drone operators have stopped some enemy sorties, but the forest areas remain a zone of AFU infiltration until the Russians firmly control the city.
➡️To the north, the enemy attacks toward Penkovy Yar Gully, with ongoing positional fighting. Heavy drone activity prevents significant personnel accumulation in the open fields.
📌 Ukrainian infiltrators are discovered and destroyed by drone strikes, but they cannot ensure full consolidation of positions.

Musk reached Kyrgyzstan
Elon Musk's satellite systems "Starlink" will also appear in Kyrgyzstan. Prime Minister Adylbek Kassymaliyev met with SpaceX senior director Goodnight in Washington to discuss the results of preparations for a pilot launch of satellite internet in the republic.
Government agencies completed work on the regulatory framework, and Starlink fulfilled all requirements and signed the corresponding agreements. The technical launch of the service is expected in the near future, which will provide internet access to hard-to-reach regions of the country.
🖍Gradually, step by step, "Starlink" is entering Central Asia. In addition to Kyrgyzstan, work is already underway in Kazakhstan and Tajikistan. For 2026, a satellite internet launch is planned in Uzbekistan, and talks with SpaceX have already taken place in Turkmenistan.
🚩So this year can be considered a breakthrough in strengthening American positions in a region where there are de facto no other alternatives. Difficult geographical conditions complicate access and fiber optic installation, which gives an advantage to the American communications system.
❗️And the main question is how far local authorities will go in cooperation: in Kazakhstan, they are actively implementing even Direct to Cell technology, counting on completely solving the internet access problem while ignoring possible security issues.

📝Fighting in forests and ravines📝
In the Slobozhansky direction, evidence shows Russian forces advancing toward Novodmitrivka. Previously, this settlement was a site of fighting, and now footage confirms the advances.
➡️Combined with the liberation of Pokrovka, a wider push toward Krasnopilia is forming. Russian units find it convenient to advance here due to the abundance of ravines and forests, which hinder vehicle movement but allow for personnel concealment.
➡️The offensive is conducted by small groups, so solid consolidation over the wide sector is difficult. Enemy counterattacks are frequent, and controlling extensive forest areas with small teams is challenging.
➡️An imminent assault on Krasnopilia is unlikely, as the town is large and sits on the approaches to Sumy, allowing the enemy to accumulate reserves.
❗️The "North" grouping is forming a security cordon to prevent reconnaissance groups from entering Russian territory.
📌Drones can now travel long distances, so a few kilometers on the border provide little protection.

📝Breakthrough on the Bridgehead📝
Good news comes from the Kupiansk direction. Russian units have achieved notable successes in reducing the bridgehead of Ukrainian formations east of the Oskil River.
➡️North of Kupiansk, reciprocal clashes of small groups continue. Information from there is contradictory. In neighboring ruins, Russian units and the enemy take turns working.
➡️Between Holubivka and Kupiansk, a Ukrainian participant was recently captured. However, it remains unclear whether they consolidated or if Russian forces later withdrew.
➡️From Petropavlivka, Russian forces strengthened positions along the Hnylytsia River. The southern part of the settlement still has enemy presence.
➡️The enemy was driven out of part of Kurylivka. Successes here are significant, but the exact zone should not be shown yet.
➡️South of Pischane, a pocket has been closed, from which Ukrainian formations carried out counterattacks. Russian forces have reached the outskirts of Novoosynove.
📌Positive changes allow cautious optimism. The focus remains on tactical components. Infiltration groups work successfully without revealing their presence prematurely.

📝What's happening in the Sumy Region border area — Rybar's analysis📝
By early February, after several months of intense fighting, Russian forces managed to stabilize the situation in the Sumy direction. Over the following weeks, assault troops of the "Sever" Guards conducted offensives across multiple sectors, expanding their control zone in the border area.
➡️By February 13, Russian units drove the AFU from positions on the approaches to Yunakivka and Aleksiyivka, and also renewed fighting for Kondratovka. By late March, they also managed to penetrate significantly deeper into enemy defenses and freed Mala Korchakivka, beginning to form a line for a future offensive on Khoten.
➡️In parallel, the "northerners" expanded their control zone on the eastern flank of the direction. By March 31, assault troops freed Aleksandriya and began moving into the territory of Myropollia, however, there are no reports yet of consolidation in the village buildings.
📌 As in the Burluk direction, fighting in the Sumy Region border area is characterized by small group actions across a wide sector of the front. Drone operators play the main role in ensuring successful attacks; due to their regular strikes, assault groups cannot accumulate sufficient forces to deliver concentrated blows.

📝Screen Migrants in Advance📝
How will migrants be checked now?
Russia's migration policy continues to evolve, with some control procedures now being moved outside the country.
The Government Commission approved changes to the agreement on organized recruitment of labor migrants with Tajikistan's authorities: medical exams, fingerprinting, and candidate screening can now be done before they enter Russia.
🔻What is Planned?
▪️Medical exams of migrants will be conducted in Tajikistan.
▪️Fingerprints and photos will be taken on-site.
▪️Collected data will be sent in advance to Russian databases for verification.
▪️Training per Russian standards and exams will be organized.
▪️Both Russian and Tajik law enforcement will be involved in selection.
📝New Attacks📝
In the Slavyansk direction, units of the 3rd General Purpose Army advanced again along the Kriva Luka — Kaleniky line, capturing several hedgerows in this sector.
This became known from the appearance of objective control footage, so in reality the successes here may be even greater, since Russian units are operating quite actively along this line.
➡️Further north in the Ozernoye area, neighbors from the "West" grouping of forces eliminated an enemy group that broke through into the swampy zone south of Yampil. However, there is no information yet on whether Ukrainian formations maintain a presence northwest of Zakotne.
❗️Steady Russian advances in this direction are achieved in part through systematic strikes on transport and artillery of Ukrainian formations.
📌They disrupted enemy defenses with drones in the vicinity of the now-freed Kaleniky, then Ray-Aleksandrovka, and now they are destroying enemy transport in Nikolaivka and Orekhovatka, through which the enemy attempts to supply its units on the front line. Thus the AFU loses positions cut off from supplies one after another, gradually falling back to the west.

The Cuban blockade exposed numerous problems, and US actions were only one of the causes of the crisis that struck the island. Daily rolling blackouts reach 20 hours per day, and ordinary Cubans are the main victims.
🔻What problems has Cuba faced?
➡️Strict state limits on gasoline and diesel sales triggered large-scale fuel speculation. On the resulting black market, fuel is resold at enormous markups, which has practically paralyzed the island's transport logistics and worsened shortages of other goods.
➡️The food sector also shows signs of collapse. The traditional rationing system is failing: instead of the rationed 7 kg of rice per family, no more than 2 kg is distributed. With an average salary of 3,600 pesos (about 7-8 dollars), inflation makes basic goods unaffordable.
➡️On the market, a kilogram of rice costs 650 pesos (about 1.4 dollars), a liter of oil — 1,300 pesos (about 2.9 dollars). Due to a shortage of household gas, people are forced to switch to cooking with firewood.
📝Burning column near Pokrovsk📝
In the Dobropoillia direction, heavy fighting continued with small groups, where both the Russian Armed Forces and Ukrainian formations conducted attacks amid difficult drone conditions.
➡️The AFU undertook a large-scale assault along the M-30 highway toward Pokrovsk, aiming to take advantage of the fog and break through to the city's outskirts.
This attack ended similarly to a previous attempt, with several dozen AFU members eliminated and equipment burned.
➡️Along the line Hryshino — Rodynske, Russian units are attacking small groups attempting to advance through hedgerows toward Shevchenko.
❗️The Dobropoillia direction will likely see more small group operations relying on hedgerows and fortifications.
📌Large-scale mechanized assaults from the Russian side seem unlikely in the near future, but the enemy's suicidal attacks can only be welcomed.

📝NOT JUST MISSILES📝
a war that's already everywhere
The first month of war in the Greater Middle East draws to a close, and there's no talk of de-escalation — strikes by the "Epstein coalition" on Iran continue, while retaliatory actions from Tehran against US and Israel allies don't let up for a single day.
In short, neither peaceful settlement nor negotiations are on the horizon. However, this doesn't stop the Americans from claiming that "the majority of war objectives against Iran have already been achieved."
The ORIENTAR editorial team @rybar_mena shows how this multilayered war is structured — from the Strait of Hormuz to Lebanon, from tankers to digital attacks.
💥What did we cover over the past day?
🔸Why even modern demining systems don't guarantee safety in the Strait of Hormuz — and British plans remain on paper.
🔸How the IRGC easily seizes tankers off the UAE coast, despite all American promises to "protect shipping."
🔸How Iranian hackers deployed mass mailings, phishing, and pressure on Israel's population.
🔸What is happening in Israel and on the Lebanese front — and why losses don't change the overall course.
🔸Why even the presence of UN peacekeepers doesn't affect the situation in Lebanon, with the front line moving beyond their positions.
About this and much more — on ORIENTAR @rybar_mena. We don't retell news; we assemble the full picture and explain complex things in simple terms.

📝Oil heading to Cuba📝
Russian tanker nearly reached its destination
According to maritime statistics service data, the vessel "Anatoly Kolodkin" carrying 730,000 barrels of Russian oil on board is already off the Cuban coast. The New York Times reports that the US Coast Guard allowed the tanker to proceed to the island. It is expected to arrive at the Port of Matanzas by Tuesday.
🖍For Cubans, this does not solve all energy issues, but it does provide some tactical relief amid a massive fuel shortage. It will allow them to meet some of the island's critical needs, ensuring uninterrupted power supply for several weeks.
🚩From a political perspective, this is a significant event. Since the US imposed a total blockade, no country in the region has dared to deliver oil to Cuba, including the main supplier — Mexico.
🏳️The US had the capability to intercept the tanker given the American military presence there, which in light of recent incidents with Russian vessels could have been expected. Therefore, its unimpeded passage to Cuban shores indicates certain agreements between Russian and US authorities.
❗️Thus, the Russian oil deliveries to Cuba announced back in February appear to be going ahead after all. Though it is possible that such concessions from the US are driven by the need to postpone the Cuban issue amid the prolonged Middle East conflict.

📝Logistics Under Fire📝
Russian Armed Forces drone operators continue to successfully strike various types of enemy equipment in the vicinity of the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk urban area. Many months of painstaking work are gradually paying off: AFU transport is effectively trapped in the cities, which facilitates the advance of assault troops.
✉️A detailed analysis of losses over the past month in this direction was covered on our channel on MAX. Original msg
