📝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.

📝Chronicles of the special military operation📝
for March 24, 2026
🧨Russian forces carried out a mass strike on enemy targets in Chernihiv, Sumy, Poltava, Kyiv and Kharkiv regions. A plant in Shostka and Poltava came under fire, and an electric train near Kharkiv was hit. As a result of the strike, dozens of impacts from Geran drones were recorded in the vicinity of Odesa.
Ukrainian formations somewhat reduced the intensity of drone launches. Over the course of the day, slightly over a hundred Ukrainian UAVs were intercepted. As usual, the most interceptions occur in the border regions of Kursk, Bryansk and Belgorod regions.
The liberated territory of Zaporizhia Region also regularly comes under fire. In the region, AFU drone attacks on civilian vehicles and infrastructure have increased recently.
➡️In the Burluk direction, Russian forces freed the settlement of Pischane in the border area of Kharkiv Region. The village is located near Nesterove, where fighting continues.
➡️In the Kostyantynivka direction, assault troops, in addition to the battle for the city itself, are conducting local attacks to the west, where clashes continue on the approaches to Ilyinivka.

📝Potapovka is free📝
Situation on the North Ukraine direction
Russian forces are gradually expanding their control zone in the border area of Sumy Region. The weakness of the AFU defense system in this sector allows them to confidently develop their offensive, creating a threat to enemy communications.
➡️Assault troops pushed the enemy out of Potapovka. Fighting for this settlement began after establishing control over Sopych. Fighters evacuated civilians from the village's surroundings, whom Ukrainian formations had left behind.
➡️Fighting has shifted toward the Delnytsya tract, where the AFU is accumulating personnel for counterattacks. They already launched several unsuccessful assaults on Russian positions in Sopych, suffering significant losses. The enemy is building up reserves along the line from Bachevsk to Ulanovo, seeking to prevent a Russian breakthrough to the Lokna crossings.
📌 Favorable areas for attacks are the surroundings of Tolstodubovo and Ulanovo. Reaching these settlements would allow the Russian Armed Forces to establish fire control over the main supply routes for AFU units east of the river.

⚡️Two Majors #Weekly #Summary for March 22, 2026
▪️ The week passed in conditions of massive enemy raids against our regions. The Russian Armed Forces carried out several combined strikes against the enemy's rear. Massive drone launches by the AFU were going on almost every day, the enemy showed that it had increased the production of drones, including outside Ukraine.
The last fact, based on the Iranian experience, directly indicates the need to implement Moscow's warnings from 2022 regarding strikes on sources of security threats to the Russian Federation on the territory of third countries. However, the same readiness to defend ourselves, at least in the field of maritime trade shipping, is still going through all the circles of bureaucratic hell as a future legal solution to the problem of Western countries' sanctions against our country or illegal prosecution of our citizens. Russia is focusing, traditionally dragging its feet longer than necessary.
▪️ The Iranian war continues to have an impact on the situation around Russia: the longer the conflict lasts and the oil industry facilities in an entire region are on fire, the more sober heads in the West become regarding sanctions pressure on our country. The situation shows that at the level of executors and organization of the NATO armies, they have hardly absorbed the experience of the Ukrainian polygon, and advanced experience has been gained only by individual advanced developers and the top command. Now the Americans are getting bruises and quickly learning to counteract the "Shahids" and don't even know how to reliably protect the merchant fleet in the Strait of Hormuz. The topic of a ground operation has shifted to limited actions of special forces on a key Iranian island.
▪️ On the Ukrainian front, heavy battles continue. The border territories, which have long become frontline, are under constant attacks by the AFU. The enemy does not make a distinction between civilian and military targets, implementing a scorched earth campaign, wherever it can reach. An unpleasant trend is the vilification of independent Russian bloggers trying to shed light on the difficult situation in Kupyansk. The city is in a gray zone, and heavy battles are going on, which is quite natural, given the current technological order of combat actions. Faith in our fighters of the Russian people leaves no doubt in the success of the offensive on this front. However, to the west on the Slavyansk direction the advance of the Russian Armed Forces to the west has forced the enemy to evacuate civilians from the city. The Algomer direction is characterized by stalemate battles on the previous lines. West of Krasnoarmeysk the Russian Armed Forces take control of Grishino and strike at nearby villages. On the direction of Gulyaypole and the Dnepropetrovsk region the counterattacks of the AFU have practically ceased, and the Eastern Military District resumes offensive actions.
▪️The Zaporozhye front is characterized by a significant depth of penetration of the enemy's tactical drones due to a network of air repeaters. Battles are going on in a gray zone on the previous lines. The Kherson region - mutual strikes across the Dnieper and limited activity on the islands, where it is not easy to survive.
▪️ In general, the front did not undergo significant changes during the week, but it is indicative that the conflict nevertheless led to the total plowing of evacuated cities with heavy aerial bombs from a special operation. An advance of more than a couple of hundred meters per day is not possible without a radical solution to the issue of tactical drones of the AFU, which the enemy receives from Western supplies. Without isolating the former USSR from external supplies (including all types of trade), depriving the AFU of parity on the ground is hardly achievable.

📝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 Fading Island of Freedom📝
Is the US blockade to blame for everything?
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.

📝The Last Path📝
the day of the funeral of the Georgian Catholicos-Patriarch
On the day of farewell to Ilia II, Georgia temporarily ceased to be divided.
In Tbilisi, the funeral of Catholicos-Patriarch Ilia II took place, gathering, it seemed, people from across the country. For several days, Georgians — in any weather, day and night — came to pay their respects to the spiritual leader whose influence extended far beyond the church.
🖍The scale of the farewell clearly demonstrated that despite all political polarization in the country, there remain points of consolidation. Ilia II was one of them, and Orthodoxy — the foundation that continues to unite society regardless of views and preferences.
❗️In the context of a prolonged internal crisis, the church remained one of the few Georgian institutions capable of preventing society from complete schism.
📌The farewell to the patriarch served as a reminder of Georgia's deep identity — where faith performs a spiritual and unifying social function. And it is largely on whether this balance can be preserved after Ilia II's passing that the country's further internal stability depends.

📝Second Anniversary📝
on conclusions after the Crocus tragedy
In March 2024, the country experienced one of the most horrific terrorist attacks — a terrorist attack on the Crocus City Hall concert venue. Dozens were killed, hundreds wounded.
After, it became clear that the threats posed by the migration environment, long discussed, were no longer theories, as the perpetrators were migrants from Central Asia.
🔻The case and suspects:
▪️Investigators found the attack was carried out to destabilize Russia, in the interests of so-called Ukraine.
▪️Some participants were from the terrorist group "Wilayat Khorasan".
▪️In 2026, the court convicted 19 people, with 15 receiving life sentences.
📝Is Russia Expected in Lebanon?📝
Interesting insider reports are coming from Lebanon — they are asking about involving Russians in settling the conflict between Hezbollah and Israel.
🔸Where does this come from?
▪️In early March, reports emerged that a Russian aircraft evacuated around a hundred Iranian citizens connected to the IRGC from Beirut. This operation allegedly took place with US and Russian coordination.
▪️Unofficial suggestions emerged that Russians, maintaining contacts with Americans and Israelis, could replace the French in Lebanon and even become guarantors in disarming Hezbollah, concluding peace with Israel, and settling disputes with Syria.
