Tucker: Easter morning should have been about resurrection, peace, and victory over death.

Instead Trump threatened power plants and bridges in Iran. Civilian infrastructure, blackouts, refugees and dead noncombatants — including over a million Christians who live in Iran. 1/
Tucker: Millions of Christians backed Trump not because he was pious, but because he looked like a protector — of religious liberty, of Christians, of the unborn.

I think the first moment they should have stopped and asked what this really was came on Jan. 4, over Venezuela. 2/
Tucker: The problem was not that Maduro was anti-American. The problem was the motive Trump gave us: we did it for the oil.

That crossed a line for me. If a country says it can take what it wants by force, it is not defending order. It is legalizing theft at scale. 3X

A Russian artillery shell fired in August 2024 carried a message: “Subscribe to Russians With Attitude.”

The podcast has 422,000 followers on X — mostly American far-right. The Kyiv Independent unmasked the two men behind it. Both fundraised for sanctioned Russian neo-Nazi units. 1/Image
One lived in Germany for most of his life. Both fundraised for sanctioned Russian neo-Nazi units while building a massive English-language audience. 2/

"Ukraine survived this difficult winter because we had Patriots.
We constantly ask for more. If we're left without these critically needed rockets, Russians will destroy our critical infrastructure," says Yuriy Ignat, head of communications for the Ukrainian air force in The Times. 1/Image
Russia has changed tactics. For the past two weeks it has been launching massive drone swarms during daylight hours — some lasting up to 24 hours, using as many as 1,000 drones in a single attack. The goal: drain Ukraine's Patriot missile stocks and exhaust interceptor teams. 2/
On Friday Ukraine was hit by a 10-hour attack: 542 drones, 27 cruise missiles and 10 ballistic missiles. 515 drones and 26 missiles were intercepted. Some got through — 18 buildings destroyed in Zhytomyr, a veterinary clinic hit in Kyiv killing 20 animals. Offices and schools shut across the country all day. 3/

Ukraine launched more attack drones than Russia.

For the first time since the full-scale invasion began in 2022, writes United24.

Zelenskyy: Never before in history has Ukrainian defense been so long-range and so tangible for Russia. 1/ Image
The numbers: Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed it downed 7,347 Ukrainian drones in March — a record for the entire war, averaging 237 per day. 2/
During the same period Ukraine’s Air Force reported defending against 6,462 Russian drones and 138 missiles — averaging 208 drones and 4 missiles per day. 3/

NATO is on the edge. America may walk out.
Trump called allies “cowards”.

Rubio — who co-wrote the 2023 law blocking unilateral NATO exit — now calls the alliance “a one-way street” and demands a full re-examination after the Iran war, writes The Economist. 1/ Image
Spain shut its bases and airspace to US forces attacking Iran. Italy blocked American planes from a Sicilian base. France barred US military aircraft from its airspace entirely. Britain allowed base access only to protect neighboring countries — not to fight. 2/
Trump is “absolutely” considering leaving NATO.

Daalder, former US Ambassador to NATO: “This is the worst moment NATO has faced.”

Rather than convince Trump to stay, he says, Europe must focus on building its own military capacity. 3/

Ukrainian artillery is now guided by FPV drones mid-flight. A drone flying its own mission, spots a target — and corrects artillery fire in real time.

Colonel Dovhal, 147th Artillery Brigade: "We no longer chase a moving enemy. We fire ahead of him. — Oboronka.

1/ Image
Reconnaissance drones transformed artillery. Operators now see strike results in real time and adjust fire.

Large drones like Shark and Gor reach 30–50 km deep.

2/
Bombers work alongside cannons. When fog grounds drones, cannons fire. When Russian drones spot a cannon position, bombers destroy the target instead.

Dovhal: "We identify Russian FPV pilot positions — that's target number one. We send bombers to destroy their equipment."

Zelenskyy: We proposed to Russia a ceasefire for Easter. But for them all times are the same.

There is nothing sacred to them. If Russia can afford this war and finance it, it will not move toward peace on its own. That is why pressure on the aggressor cannot drop. 1/
Zelenskyy: Our long-range sanctions are working. They are cutting Russian revenues, above all oil revenues.

Only serious financial losses force Russia to think about an exit from the war. Everything Russia earns from shock oil prices, it will pour back into war. 2/
Zelenskyy: If Russia is ready to stop strikes on our energy system, we are ready to respond in kind.

That proposal has already been passed to the Russian side through the Americans. Security guarantees are the key to ending the war, to peace, and to trust in the process. 3/
