According to him, as the United States is currently focused on its own conflict with Iran, President Donald Trump is putting pressure on Ukraine, trying to quickly end the four-year war that began with the invasion of Russian troops in 2022.

According to the information we have, this is a counterattack by Ukraine on Russia, and the consequences of this attack reached our border. This is not the first such case, and, considering everything, the goal of today's attack was the port of Ust-Luga," he said.
According to available information, the Russian port was attacked by swarms of drones three times: at approximately 3 a.m., around 6 a.m., and at 8 a.m. One of the drones deviated from its course, possibly due to electronic interference from the Russian side, and crashed into a pipe at the Auvere power plant, located in northeastern Estonia.

14.24 Ukraine needs a larger number of interceptors - about 2,000 anti-ballistic missiles per year. This was stated by European Commissioner for Defense and Space Andrius Kubilius.
"Last year, Ukraine faced 2,000 missile strikes, and about 900 of these missiles were ballistic. The Russians have managed to improve the characteristics of their ballistics, these missiles can now change trajectory, which means that countermeasures have become less effective, as the Ukrainians themselves have told us," he noted.

11.19 The massive attack on Ukraine on March 23-24 is a significant and dangerous shift in Russian strike tactics. The new strategy allows the Russian Federation to maintain pressure for longer and cover more regions, according to a report by the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
Analysts note that now Russian strikes are being stretched out in time, combining drones and missiles, and the main goal is to overload and expose the vulnerability of Ukrainian air defenses.
ISW points out that Russia is using a "stockpile and strike" tactic: a limited number of missiles are launched over a period of several days, followed by massive attacks using missiles and a large number of drones at the same time. This approach allows to overload Ukrainian air defenses and increase the destructive effect.
Experts estimate that Russia is already approaching the capability of launching over 1,000 strike drones in a single series of attacks. The events of March 23-24 were the closest example of such a scenario to being realized.
ISW also notes that such attacks often coincide with important diplomatic events. In particular, the latest attack occurred immediately after talks between Ukraine and the United States in Florida, which may indicate an attempt to put pressure on Kyiv and its allies.
Experts warn that Russia could take advantage of the shortage of air defense systems, including Patriot, as well as the diversion of international attention to the Middle East, to intensify its air campaign against Ukraine.
11.05 As a result of a missile strike on the Russian city of Belgorod, 450,000 local residents were left without power supply . This was reported by the so-called governor Vyacheslav Gladkov on Telegram.

Evidently they are not busy or burdened enough with the efforts in Ukraine.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
