Russia launched a mass overnight strike on Ukraine, targeting rail and energy. Kharkiv: 4 killed after a missile hit an apartment building. Ukrzaliznytsia rerouted trains in Rivne, Vinnytsia, Zhytomyr. Kalibrs targeted Dniester HPP; ballistics mostly at Kyiv, but Kharkiv hit hardest.
A Russian FAB-3000 hit what used to be a residential neighborhood in Donetsk region.
One strike erases a block. Then the same propaganda voices will post how βheartbrokenβ they are about bombs elsewhere and demand sympathy.
Ukrainians donβt need lectures about humanity from those who erase homes.
βSchools must not be attacked,β Russia told the UN.
UNICEF says at least 1,611 Ukrainian schools have been damaged or destroyed since 2022. Thatβs what βrulesβ look like when theyβre enforced only in speeches.
This is a stolen childhood.

Three days in the Gulf burned through what Ukraine has been rationing for years.
Zelensky says Gulf states used 800+ Patriot interceptors in three days defending against Iran β more than Ukraine has received since 2022.

Three fronts in one day.
200 defenders came home in a swap. Ukraineβs forces say they destroyed a Russian Ka-27 over the Black Sea. Ukraineβs anti-Shahed know-how is drawing Pentagon and Gulf interestβwhile Trump and OrbΓ‘n add pressure.
Read todayβs daily summary.
That wasnβt an American βAI droneβ on Fox News. It was Ukrainian air defense.
A Fox segment about U.S. AI interceptors and Iranian Shaheds used footage of Ukraineβs STING interceptor (Wild Hornets) taking down Russian Shahed-type drones.
Credit matters.
POLITICO: Trump says Zelensky must βmake a deal,β claims Putin is ready to negotiate, and says Zelensky has βno cards.β Ukraineβs βcardsβ are air defense, shelters, and whether the next strike hits a school or misses.
Two hundred families can breathe again. Ukraine brought 200 people home from Russian captivity.
This is what hope looks like up close: a voice on the phone, a door opening, a name answered.
Slava Ukraini πΊπ¦
A $30,000 Shahed is forcing the world to rethink air defense. FT: the Pentagon and Gulf countries want Ukrainian interceptor drones like P1-SUN because Patriots cost millions per shot. Ukraine built a cheaper answer β and now even Dubai wants it.
President ZelenskΡy: Putin βlost his winter operation.β Russia hit energy in freezing temps, tried to split society and stop the armyββbut the plan collapsed. With warmth returning, hope returns.β
And it wonβt work in spring, summer, autumn, or any winter after this.
Imagine this headline a year ago.
Zelenskyy says the U.S. asked Ukraine for help countering Iranian Shahed dronesβbecause Ukraine has the know-how. He agreed, but only if it doesnβt weaken Ukraineβs defense against Russia.
So⦠is JD Vance going to say thank you?

Novorossiysk rattled. Ukraine fought off another mass wave overnight and is preparing for more Mirage 2000-5 jets. As the Iran war drains interceptor stockpiles and jolts energy, Ukraineβs air-defense clock is ticking.
Daily summary: Novorossiysk + night attack + what changes next.

Novorossiysk burned overnight: Ukrainian drones hit five Russian warships and ignited a key oil terminal, Ukrainian sources say. As the Gulf burns and talks stall, Ukraineβs clock is air-defense missiles.
Daily summary: sea strike + energy shock + air-defense math.
βFree weaponsβ is a slogan.
U.S. aid isnβt a handout: a big share is spent in the U.S. replacing stockpiles and paying American factories/workers. And Ukraine once had the worldβs 3rd-largest nuclear arsenalβgave it up under U.S./UK security assurances. Promises matter.

Even in the midst of war, when everything is in chaos, we must not forget the most vulnerable β they rely entirely on human kindness to survive π₯Ήππ
Five Russian warships hit in port.
Ukrainian sources say a March 2 night drone strike damaged five Russian naval vessels in Novorossiysk, incl. βYeysk,β βKasimov,β and minesweeper βValentin Pikul.β Enemy personnel losses were reported.
Trump said there is βtremendous hatredβ between Putin and Zelenskyy. But itβs not symmetric: Putin is trying to destroy Ukraine as a state; Zelenskyy leads a nation refusing to disappear. One is aggression. The other is survival.
A train should mean safe passage.
Kuleba says a Russian drone hit an empty passenger train in Mykolaiv region, injuring a Ukrainian Railways worker. He says another drone targeted a DniproβKovel train, but passengers were evacuated and no one was hurt.
Terror follows people onto the rails.
