Zelenskyy: Russia will never again have the status it once had. The perception of Russia has changed. It is fear, not respect.

Russia will never again have a good relationship with Europe, at least not in the coming years. 1/
Zelenskyy: Ukrainians want the war to end as soon as possible, without ifs and buts. This winter was emotionally exhausting.

But claiming that Ukrainians are ready to give up everything just so Putin stops launching rockets and drones would be wrong. 2/
Zelenskyy: At the beginning Trump and I did not have enough trust in one another and people saw it publicly.

Later our teams found each other better and now there is a better atmosphere. But Trump is not yet ready to exert pressure on Russia. 3/
Zelenskyy: Presidents come and go. Both I and Trump and with God’s help also Putin will one day go.

But the security guarantees for Ukraine must be institutionalized. They must be coordinated and legally binding, confirmed both by the president and by the Congress. 4/
Zelenskyy: Ukrainians do not trust Putin and do not trust Russia.

Even if Russia chooses a different path tomorrow and a liberal future comes, Ukrainians from a country that has been hit so hard still feel no trust. It will be a long road. 5X

After every mass Russian strike, Ukraine breaks it down like a game tape.

Ukraine DM Fedorov: After every large-scale attack, we analyze interceptor positions, ballistic paths, air defense performance.

Then we decide what needs improvement — Kyiv Independent.

1/ Image
Ukraine created a new Air Force command for short-range air defense.

Pavlo Yelizarov is leading it. He is a former commander of one of the country’s most advanced strike drone units.

Ukraine is shifting from mobile gun teams to high-speed AI-powered interceptor drones.

2/
Fedorov: Ukraine cut the number of Russian livestream feeds by 11 times after shutting down Russian Starlink terminals in February.

Kyiv introduced a registration and anti-fraud system so Ukrainian forces could keep using Starlink.

Dan Hoffman: Putin wouldn’t end the war if Ukraine gave Russia territorial concessions.

We might see a tactical pause, but Putin would continue to pursue his strategic objective to overthrow the democratically-elected government and install a puppet regime. 1/
Hoffman: If Ukraine were forced to give up that territory, it would put Zelenskyy in an incredibly weak position and compromise all of Ukraine's military leadership.

That's exactly what Putin wants: to create internal instability inside Ukraine and take advantage of that. 2/
Hoffman: The Biden administration, US intelligence accurately forecasted Russia's invasion, but our policy was to send a plane to exfiltrate Zelenskyy.

Zelenskyy bravely said, no, I don't need a plane, I need ammunition because the fight is here in Ukraine. 3/

A British corporal tries to surrender to a fiber-optic FPV drone — live-streamed on TikTok — but the cable makes his jammer useless. He dies as thousands watch.

That is the war NATO fears next. Ukraine is already fighting such a war, Times. 1/ Image
Russia is already using fiber-optic FPVs: 1970s cable tech with a 30-mile spool that bypasses electronic warfare.

If jamming fails, infantry becomes target practice — and the kill chain becomes content. 2/
Gen. James Rainey, head of US Army Futures Command: “We cannot send men and women into harm’s way. If we can’t protect them.”

Western armies are now racing to buy speed: sensors, data, autonomy. 3/

“Help me! I’m freezing to death!” — an 87-year-old woman screaming from a Kyiv balcony during blackouts.

Writer James Meek returns to Kyiv after 3 decades and finds a city surviving winter strikes, cold apartments, and exhausted people, The Guardian. 1/ Image
“A Russian attack two nights earlier” tore up the grid. Even places with generators lost water.

Kyiv keeps getting patched up, then hit again — power, heating, water, repeat. 2/
A young photographer tells him she once saw a Russian drone operator’s POV locked onto her car — then it veered away.

Different scale of risk. People still take the lift when a foreigner hesitates. 3/
