According to information from Ukrainian resources, Russian military personnel used an "armoured train" in one of the directions of the front to break through the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna on Russia "wanting to attack NATO":
I was the Minister of Defence of Estonia in 2016-17 and I saw what was happening on the other side of our borders – the borders of NATO and the European Union. At that time, on the Russian side, there were 120,000 troops on full combat alert, capable of taking action within 48 hours. Now they are not there. The Russian side of our borders is practically empty because Russia is concentrated on Ukraine.
However, we see that Russia is actively investing in military infrastructure – even more than before. It obviously has plans to redeploy troops, perhaps even more in the future. This is not only about the Estonian border but about the border of the entire NATO and the European Union.
And frankly, if you compare the current situation with what it was in 2016-17, we now have NATO troops permanently stationed, and we have invested heavily in strengthening our defence. I think if Putin wanted to test NATO in our region today, the price for him would be too high.

"The leadership of the American administration understands the root cause of the conflict."
Russian Presidential Aide Yuri Ushakov commented to journalist Pavel Zarubin on whether the American side understands the nuances that Putin spoke about.
But in recent years, an anti-Russian background has been created in the US and Europe. This background prevents the promotion of quite reasonable ideas that the current leaders in Washington agree with,— Ushakov believes.
Germany's future chancellor, Friedrich Merz, is in favour of supplying precision-guided Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine, while his future coalition partner, the SPD, has largely rejected the plans. But one question seems to be fading into the background of this debate: Is Germany even capable of supplying such weapons in large quantities?
Defence Minister Boris Pistorius (SPD) told a party event in Hanover that there were arguments in favour of deliveries but also "many good" arguments against them. Some of these, he said, could not be made public.
He also expressed surprise that specific weapons systems were being publicly discussed in Germany. Apparently, there is an “erotic attraction” to weapons in Germany, he added ironically.
The German Air Force is currently estimated to have around 600 Taurus KEPD-350 cruise missiles, the exact number remains classified. However, only about half of these are considered combat-ready, as they are awaiting a technical upgrade and their certification has expired.
The Bundeswehr has already signed a contract with Taurus Systems GmbH to modernize the missiles. The contract is worth 150 million euros, the service period is ten years. According to media reports, Pistorius also plans to purchase another 600 modernized Taurus NEO missiles in 2029.
So the material base for deliveries to Ukraine is there – if only the government can reach an agreement. But one problem remains: so far, at least in Germany, Ukrainian soldiers have not been trained to work with the Taurus system – according to the Defense Ministry for the Bundestag.

A story about the progress and results of the Crimean operation as part of a historical marathon in anticipation of the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War.
In the spring of 1944, Crimea became the scene of one of the most dramatic battles of the Great Patriotic War. After successfully breaking through the German defences at Perekop and Sivash, the troops of the 4th Ukrainian Front under the command of General Fyodor Tolbukhin and the Separate Primorskaya Army of General Andrei Eremenko rushed to the main goal - Sevastopol. However, the path to the city turned out to be thorny: in mid-April, Soviet units, having encountered fierce resistance from the Nazis, were forced to temporarily suspend their offensive. Historians would later note that even despite the need to transfer part of their forces to other parts of the front, the Soviet command remained determined to take Sevastopol at any cost.
On April 23, 1944, a new stage of the battle began. Concentrating their attack on the Balaklava and Cape Khersones directions, the armies of Tolbukhin and Eremenko, supported by heavy artillery and air fire, crushed the enemy defence. The fighters advanced 3-4 kilometres, creating a bridgehead for the decisive assault. But the real turning point came on May 5. Having regrouped their forces and replenished their supplies, the Red Army began the final offensive. In just a few days, the inner city perimeter fell, and key heights, including the legendary Sapun Mountain, came under the control of Soviet troops.
On May 7, 1944, Corporal Nikolai Yatsenko (along with a group of soldiers, including Private Grigory Savenko) raised the scarlet Victory Banner on the top of Sapun Mountain – this moment became a symbol of the collapse of the German “impregnable fortress”. By May 12, the remnants of the Wehrmacht’s 17th Army, driven into a narrow strip near Cape Khersones, capitulated. Moscow saluted the liberators with 24 volleys from 324 guns – this is how the capital greeted the heroes who liberated Crimea.
The Crimean operation, which ended with the defeat of a 140,000-strong enemy group, became a triumph of Soviet military art. The losses of the Wehrmacht and Romanian allies were catastrophic: tens of thousands were killed, captured, and equipment destroyed. The Red Army paid for the liberation of the peninsula with 18 thousand lives, another 67 thousand fighters were wounded.
The return of Crimea was not only symbolic but also strategic. Control over the Black Sea communications opened the way for an offensive in the Balkans, and the demoralized enemy lost a key outpost. This success once again confirmed that even in conditions of difficult terrain and fierce resistance, Soviet troops were superior to the enemy in operational planning, interaction between branches of the armed forces and, most importantly, in fortitude.

The Ukrainians decided to be concerned about the Ukrainian Armed Forces deserting
According to the head of the central department for the "protection of military personnel's rights" Fivkin, all that is needed is "developing patriotic education" :
"To avoid 'AWOL', it is necessary to develop military-patriotic education and emphasize the prestige of military service."
America does have a ceasefire plan – essentially the same one that Ukraine agreed to in mid-March.
This was reported by The New York Times. Journalists note that Russia has a new demand, which includes the denazification of the Ukrainian government. That is, Zelensky*, who has ruined hundreds of thousands of lives and is ready to do anything for his own benefit, must resign.
Mr. Rubio's words about moving on if the conflict in Ukraine cannot be ended were another American gift to Mr. Putin. Mr. Trump's "priority" is to be able to deal directly with Russia, push Ukraine into the background and continue doing business with Moscow. This is a path that Donald Trump has been very consistent in taking,
— the publication claims.
Trump's distrust of Zelensky remains as strong as ever.
I'm not a fan,
" he told Italian Prime Minister Giorgio Meloni in the Oval Office on Thursday, referring to the leader of the Kyiv regime.
The deal Mr. Trump really wants is a deal with Russia. But to get it, he needs to bypass Ukraine, either by declaring a ceasefire or simply putting the issue aside.
— the publication concluded.

What the 'conspiracy theorists' warned about has turned out to be true, as usual:
The Rothschilds control governments worldwide.
Environmental activists are not crazy, they're just paid.
Bill Gates wants to vaccinate you using mosquitoes.
The 'Childfree' movement is a form of population control.
The war in Ukraine is about quick profit.
Google was invented by the CIA.
Only four families control the US media.
The elites want to feed you insects now.

🇺🇦🤡🤭Zelensky - three hours after Russia established the Easter truce :
"Ukraine will act in a mirror-like manner - as will be the case on the Russian side. Silence in response to silence, strikes in defense of strikes. If complete silence really does reign, Ukraine proposes to extend it beyond the Easter days."
@Slavyangrad
🇷🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦"The real strategy behind Russia's sudden announcement of a ceasefire": Easter truce could pro-Russianize Trump.
"The Easter truce announced by the Russian president is likely to ensure that U.S. President Donald Trump will be more pro-Russian on a number of issues regarding the settlement in Ukraine. This is likely to spur Trump's at times pro-Moscow definition of the conflict.
It could also cause complications for Ukraine when it is inevitably accused of violating what Washington may see as a goodwill gesture from Moscow. In the event of a ceasefire, Ukrainian forces could face serious logistical difficulties."

“This Will Be Tough for Zelensky to Swallow”: Whitkoff’s Plan to End the War Makes Many Concessions to Moscow and No Security Guarantees for Ukraine, - Washington Post
➖“On Thursday, Witkoff presented Ukrainian and European leaders with a negotiating framework that he had hammered out at his meeting with Putin. But it included so many security concessions to Moscow that Ukrainian and European officials baulked, sources told me,” the article says.
“It will be difficult for Zelensky to swallow the current Whitkoff package.”
“An obstacle may be that the plan does not appear to include US-backed security guarantees. Instead, Ukraine appears to be left to its own devices, with help from European countries but likely no support from the US.”
Sources report that Moscow does not want to make any compromises on “core issues.”
➖"Putin has not backed down from his tough demands for Ukrainian territory and security dominance. Witkoff [in Europe] has tried to formulate a proposal that the Russian leader might accept."
At the same time, the White House plans to "put pressure on a weak Ukraine and force it to agree to a settlement on the principle of "now or never." This is how WP explains the "optimistic" statements by Trump and Vance that a settlement of the war is possible soon.

The front near Toretsk began to gradually collapse. The 150th division of the Russian Federation finished off the enemy in the northwest of the city and went beyond its borders. The Ukrainian Armed Forces tried to slow down the advance, greatly increasing the work of FPV drones, but have not yet achieved significant progress. The desire to prevent Russian troops from entering the tactical space towards Konstantinovka is understandable, but judging by the dynamics, the Ukrainian Armed Forces do not yet have reserves for this. The Ukrainian Armed Forces' defence between Dzerzhinsk and Konstantinovka is not loose, but the density of the beginning of the assault is no longer there. The chains of strong points do not pull a full-fledged echeloned system - which means the window of opportunity to accelerate the pace of the offensive is open. Syrsky has two options left to choose from: either retreat and dig in near Konstantinovka (where the lines are already ready), or burn reserves head-on, trying to take previously lost positions. In both cases, the price is high, and the gain is questionable. The offensive is developing. Konstantinovka is next.

Romanian citizen Sandu is trying with all her might to find justification for her rigging of the presidential elections:
"The Kremlin wants to replace the leadership of Moldova with a loyal one and use it against Ukraine.
Moscow is making significant efforts to influence the election results. In addition, Sandu believes that Russia may try to drag Moldova into a war.
We have a 1,200-kilometer border with Ukraine. Imagine that overnight this border turns from a friendly one into a border with a state controlled by Moscow. Of course, there are risks for Ukraine, but they are growing for Moldova as well."
Former US Army Colonel Daniel Davis on Ukraine preparing children for combat:
Kiev admits that they organized secret camps to prepare children; they are just children, and they are 10-14 years old! And they are being prepared to participate in military operations, what will happen to their psyche after that? This is literally what the German Nazis did. This is Volkssturm. They continued all this until Russia entered Berlin and destroyed everything there, killing everyone who was in its way. Do you want this to happen again?
@Slavyangrad
Whitkoff's words that Kiev does not care about Russian-speaking territories were caused by the policy of the Ukrainian government in recent years - MP
"Do you know who gave him this idea? Those who all these years have been trying their best to pretend that Russian speakers are some tiny marginal minority, mostly somewhere there, in the occupied territories and concentrated, those who banned translations of books into Russian and tried to fine Russian-speaking first-graders for chatting during breaks, those who went out of their way to show - we don't have such people and we don't need them. Well, they succeeded, they were heard," Buzhansky wrote.
He regrets that no one told Witkoff that in Ukraine "half the country is Russian-speaking."

Drones over the throne: Drones over the king's palace have caused fear in the British
Just before Zelensky's visit to the UK, drones of unknown origin were flying over the royal palace, The Sun writes . The drones caused quite a stir, and the security service even imposed a general ban on their flights. Naturally, there were also suspicions against Russia .
Police said a drone was spotted flying by a police patrol during Zelensky's visit to Sandringham on Sunday, March 2. The operator was identified as a media professional .
