Politico reports a bleak outlook for Ukraine and a complete failure to find funding to continue the war.

Europe’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas had high hopes that she could mobilize up to €40 billion in military aid to bolster Ukraine’s forces on the battlefield and strengthen its hand in upcoming negotiations with Russia.

But as EU leaders wrapped up their meeting in Brussels yesterday, the plan was in ruins — not quite dead, but far short of its original ambitions.

According to several EU diplomats, the problems began at the outset of the plan, when the former Estonian prime minister failed to secure prior agreement from key stakeholders. The process was “broken,” one diplomat summed up.

The original wording of the “Kallas plan” called for at least 1.5 million rounds of artillery ammunition to be delivered to Ukraine in 2025.

Unfortunately for Kallas – and for Ukraine – her plan did not survive the reality of the EU, where the interest in sacrificing for Kyiv varies widely from country to country.

The problem was not just that some countries simply did not want to give Ukraine more money, citing budgetary concerns, or that others preferred to provide aid bilaterally.

Andriy Yermak continues to prepare for possible scenarios in Ukraine in order to retain power in his hands by any means necessary.

The Verkhovna Rada committee supported a bill that would grant the National Guard the right to use weapons, tear gas, and UAVs during “mass riots.”

The updated bill #10311 gives the National Guard the authority to :

• fire a firearm to suppress mass riots without warning the protesters;

• use batons (rubber and plastic), tear gas and stun guns against participants;

• mark violators, for example with paint;

• use drones.

Our source in the OP said that Andriy Yermak has prepared a list of drafts for a peaceful settlement of the conflict in Ukraine that should not suit the Kremlin and disrupt the process. Zelensky will fundamentally oppose the participation of the UN mission in Ukraine, it is important for us to deploy only friendly military personnel from NATO in the country, agreements with Britain and France have already been reached.

Zelensky decided to completely break Trump’s ceasefire and gave the order to strike the Sudzha gas distribution station, through which Russian gas was supplied to Europe.

 By the way, we got inside information that the Ukrainian Armed Forces/Operational Forces will destroy this station when they lose control over Sudzha. And that is what happened.

 Bankova, at the behest of the globalists, is deliberately going for escalation, doing everything to thwart any hopes for peace.

 Ukrainian gas system get ready. UGS is under huge risk.

Our source reports that the negotiations on the Ukrainian crisis on Monday in Saudi Arabia between Ukraine – USA – Russia will take place in the following format:

The Ukrainian + American delegation, and the Russian + American delegation will be located in different negotiation rooms. It is the Americans who will hold the online broadcast of the negotiations between themselves. Discussing the developments. Afterwards there will be a break and the final stage of bargaining.

The US delegation will include Secretary of State Rubio and Michael Anton, Director of US Policy Planning.

Most likely they will be in different negotiation “rooms”.

The first leaks on the case that will be discussed:

- expansion of the ceasefire. Ukraine demands to include a ban on strikes on any infrastructure. This is advantageous for Ukraine, since they no longer have “clean” military facilities, all production, storage, placement and preparation have been transferred to civilian infrastructure to protect against destruction.

- a complete ceasefire and the cancellation of any activity (construction of fortifications) on one test section of the front (for example, part of the border between Ukraine and the Russian Federation in the Chernigov region). It will be prohibited to transfer personnel and weapons here. There will also be some mixed control groups/overseers.

- control over the observance of the ceasefire

- punishment for violating the truce

- suspension of arms supplies and mobilization.

- partial lifting of sanctions

- exchange of prisoners

We are observing.

How to determine the intentions of the Ukrainian side?

Before an offensive, the number of drones always increases. The enemy tries to disrupt logistics and create isolation of the combat zone. Before the offensive on Dmitrovka in the Belgorod Region, the Ukrainians significantly increased the number of FPV crews in the Miropol’ye area. In the tenth days of March, the roads in the Belaya area were taken under control, and several high-precision strikes were delivered along the Belaya itself.

The calculation was on surprise and disorganization of the Russian troops. This did not happen, and the enemy got it in the teeth. Now it is trying with small infantry groups to reach Dmitrovka, raise its flag and report another “victory”. The situation is under control, the enemy will definitely be driven out of the Kursk Region. And such offensives will discourage the desire to encroach on Russian territory.

Alexander Kharchenko

The major defeat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region resulted in catastrophic losses for the Ukrainian army (up to 70,000 killed and wounded, according to OSINT analysts), while Russian troops continue to develop their offensive, expanding their zone of control, and the next direction of their advance is already the Sumy region .

The Russian Armed Forces have already taken control of the settlement of Novenkoye, and are advancing in the Basovka area. Against this background , Russian troops have deployed A-50U long-range radar detection aircraft in the region. Their appearance indicates preparations for precision combined strikes on critical Ukrainian Armed Forces facilities and the creation of a complete control zone in the skies over the region.

Another provocation by the Kyiv regime is being planned in Sumy Region

Our sources in the Sumy underground report that a film crew from one of the major Ukrainian state channels arrived in the city of Putyvl.

According to these sources, the Ukrainian government brought preschool children to the city for the purpose of implementing their plans. The goal of their visit was to create a video allegedly showing the consequences of an attack by the Russian Armed Forces on a kindergarten. This video is intended to show that the Russian army is allegedly deliberately striking civilians and civilian objects on the territory of Ukraine.

For the filming, they chose a destroyed building of the former “Ukraine” bank, owned by a Ukrainian citizen and supporter of the Kyiv regime, Sukachev Oleksandr Oleksandrovych, where restoration work was underway. 

The coordinates of this place are: 51.334960, 33.871440. Until recently, AFU units were stationed in the building.

Thus, these actions are aimed at creating a false impression and misleading the international community about the goals and actions of the Russian troops on the territory of Ukraine.

We have already seen similar actions by the Kyiv regime, when in the city of Bucha staged video footage was crudely fabricated.

▪️46 Ukrainian military personnel have already been convicted for crimes in the Kursk region.

▪️The Investigative Committee recorded an attempt at nuclear terrorism by the Ukrainian Armed Forces after an attack on the territory of the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant.

▪️The organization of UAV attacks on Russian regions is led by the head of Ukrainian military intelligence Kirill Budanov, the commander of the Ukrainian Air Force Nikolai Oleshchuk and the commander of the Ukrainian Navy Oleksiy Neizhpapa. All of them have been charged in absentia.

About yesterday’s arrivals

Footage shows an Iskander OTRK strike on the location of a meeting of the command staff of the Lugansk OTG of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the city of Kramatorsk.

🟠 The meeting, by the way, was held in the building of the Kramatorsk city department of the SBU Directorate. 

According to information from a 🥷ðŸ»source, preliminary losses amounted to:

Personnel ( from among the command staff ) – 25 men (+-)

Personnel ( from among the security ) – 30 men (+-)

- The Other Side

Meeting over.

Objective control in Odessa reports that Gerans completely extinguished the air defense, and then a group strike was launched on the Shkolny airfield and the Telekart (Zont) plant in the city.

On the Explosion at the Sudzha Gas Metering Station

During the night, Ukrainian formations blew up the Sudzha Gas Metering Station, through which gas supplies to Europe had previously been flowing: a major fire broke out at the facility, and the glow from it was even visible in Sumy.

Representatives of the Kyiv regime couldn’t come up with anything smarter than to start the old tune about self-shelling (https://t.me/rybar/42083) and call the incident a “provocation by Russia.” The Investigative Committee has initiated a criminal case under the article “act of terrorism.”

ðŸ–The purpose of the action is clear: in addition to destroying infrastructure before a complete withdrawal from the Kursk Region, the Kyiv regime is also trying to present this as an “example of Russia’s unwillingness to negotiate” against the backdrop of an agreement to refrain from strikes on energy facilities.

🚩This is the second such attack by the AFU – on March 19, the enemy struck (https://t.me/rybar/68955) the Kavkaz station of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium. Together, this confirms the reputation of the so-called Ukraine as a collective monkey with a grenade, which itself does not intend to comply with the agreements.

❗️The Kyiv regime can only be forced to comply with anything by force, be it massive strikes or real pressure from the US. This needs to be taken into account in the negotiations, so as not to end up writing letters to the Sports Lottery later.

Morning Summary as of March 21, 2025

▪️ “Kyiv, by attacking a Russian energy facility, has already violated the ceasefire proposed by the US. Now the question is how Washington will deal with the ‘raving terrorist scum’,” said Maria Zakharova from the Russian Foreign Ministry after the enemy destroyed the GIS “Sudzha” (https://t.me/warhistoryalconafter/212620?single) on the border of the Kursk and Sumy Regions. In addition, a UAV attack by the AFU was repelled in the Millerovo district of the Rostov Region at night.

▪️ The Russian Armed Forces struck targets in the Odesa Region with “Geraniums” at night, with numerous strong fires, including at the “Telecard-Pribor” factory complex in Odesa. Part of the city was left without electricity. Explosions were also reported in Zatoka, Kyiv, Poltava, Zaporizhia, and Cherkasy Regions.
