The Russian escalation in Ukraine is a sign of desperation. Russia is losing ground on the battlefield, has failed at dividing Europeans and is revealed to be a losing sponsor in the Middle-East, Africa or the Caucasus. Now is not the time to be intimidated or wither in our support for Ukraine. euronews

Today is the 1,500th day since Russia launched its full-scale war against Ukraine. What Moscow expected to be a quick victory has turned into a long and costly failure. Instead of achieving its goals, Russia has only deepened its losses and isolation. The world has seen what Russia truly is: a terrorist state. The only answer to this is unity, sustained pressure, and continued defence support for Ukraine.

JUST IN: Lavrov has once again spotted a “losing Ukraine” — apparently to avoid looking at Russia Russia’s foreign minister claims Europe is “seriously mistaken” if it believes Moscow is losing the war. According to Lavrov, it is Ukraine — not Russia — that is currently on the losing side. That, he says, is exactly why Russia will not accept any ultimatums. The Kremlin continues to dismiss reality as an “illusion” — especially when it comes to the war, sanctions, mounting losses, and the price Russia has been paying for more than four years.

Global attention is focused on the Persian Gulf. But we have news too. March 2026 became the first month when, in terms of deep strikes, Ukraine reached parity with Russia. The average number of long-range kamikaze drones launched by Ukraine has significantly increased, while the average number of Russian strike drones launched against Ukraine has currently dropped to 90–110 per day. Experts offer various possible reasons for this decrease: ▪️ drone production in Russia was not fully localized and partially depended on Iran; ▪️ logistics routes have become longer, and Iran itself now needs drones; ▪️ Ukraine is partially hitting production sites and factories; ▪️ possibly, Russia is stockpiling drones, perhaps for hybrid provocations in other regions; ▪️ it is also likely that Russia has started supplying drones to Iran. By spring, Ukraine has significantly increased strikes on Russia using long-range kamikaze drones. For example: on the night of March 18, Russia officially claimed to have "shot down" 238 drones; however, some of them struck a chemical plant in Stavropol Krai and an electronics facility in Sevastopol. Ukraine has also expanded its operational range: over 1,500 km. Russians have openly expressed concern about the security of military infrastructure in the Urals. Ukraine has increased and continues to increase both the production and variety of drones. Moscow has been declared a target: from March 14 to 17, Russia reported about 250 drones in the Moscow air defense zone. 📹: Ukrainian Defenders destroying Russian air defense systems in Bryansk region of Russia
