⚡️🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇸🇮🇷Ukrainian President Zelenskyy explains why Ukraine needs independent missile capacities.

"Only to create the system, to create such capabilities which can produce more.

Now, you know that United States, produces about 60, maybe 65 missiles per month, PAC-three anti ballistic missiles. It's nothing.

During the first day of attack on Middle East, you know, that they used the volume of two years production of such missiles during twenty four hours.

So we need our European independent strong system, and we will build it."

Last night, Russia attacked Zaporizhzhia Oblast with Geran-2 drones.

At least 6 drones attacked the city of Vilnyansk, while a 7th drone struck a target in the nearby town of Mykhailo-Lukasheve. Some of the drones targeted Vilnyansk were directly controlled by drone operators.

The reality is that the STG is attempting to conceal the true situation in southern Syria. The IRFS is recruiting and collaborating with the people of Quneitra and Daraa, as well as with former rebel groups, to expand its support base among a population disillusioned by the ongoing Israeli incursions into their villages—all while the security forces, who are supposed to defend them, remain passive and fail to act.
That is why, following the false rhetoric of “Assad remnants,” the new Syrian authorities are using the rhetoric of “Hezbollah/Iran proxies” to delegitimize any resistance movement against their policy of collaboration and normalization with Israel.

Following the usual lull in Russian advances in February and March, Russia has significantly intensified their assault operations and is now advancing at a much higher rate than before. Historically, February and March have always been the slowest months for Russia.
