REQUESTED UKRAINE DRONES
Japan is considering buying Ukrainian drones for defense. These are systems that Ukraine actively uses in the war and which have proven their effectiveness in modern combat conditions.
The Japanese platform Kyodo News writes: “While buying drones from Israel is also an option, the Japanese government obviously believes that procurement of unmanned aircraft from Ukraine would be less controversial, given the widespread international criticism of the Israeli military’s actions in Ukraine.” Gaza Strip. »
Currently, the consultations are in an early stage, and a final decision on the possible introduction or purchase of Ukrainian drones has not yet been made.
Ukraine has so far received eleven requests from European states and neighboring countries of Iran regarding security policy assistance in the fight against Shaheds.
In addition, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are interested in buying Ukrainian interception drones.
Particularly the interest in anti-shahed drones is great. The PHOTO shows the dashcam image of a «Wild Hornet» interceptor drone approaching from behind a Shahed drone.
ISRAEL WANTS TO GO TOGETHER
Unlike Trump, Israel is interested in cooperating with Ukraine in defending Iranian-Russian Shahed/Geran drones. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asked Ukraine to hold talks about starting cooperation in intercepting Iranian drones.
This is reported by the Israeli publication Ynet and the Ukrainian ambassador to Israel, Yevhen Kornichuk, confirmed that a corresponding request was made. Initial interviews are scheduled to take place next week.
Reminder: In October 2022, Ukraine issued an official request to Israel to begin cooperation in the field of missile and air defense. This was rejected by Israel and a year later Netanyahu confirmed in an interview with the «Wall Street Journal» that Israel will not supply weapons nor air defense to Ukraine. He said at the time that Israel feared that weapons could be seized in Ukraine and passed on to Iran.
IRAN THREATENS UKRAINE
Because Ukraine is helping Middle East states defend Iranian drones, all of Ukraine has been declared a «legitimate target» for Iran’s military or terrorist actions. The threat was published by Ibrahim Azizi, the chairman of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security Committee.
Azizi wrote on «X» against the «failed» Ukraine and referring to the UN: «By providing drone support for the Israeli regime, the failed Ukraine has actually gotten entangled in the war and its entire state territory according to Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations to a legitimate goal made for Iran. »
MILITARY STRIKE
Increased production of Ukrainian attack drones and the increasing number of drone pilots of the Ukrainian army led to the 14th in the night. March to intense attacks on facilities of the Russian Federation.

CHIP FACTORY SHUTDOWN
The company «Silicon El» in Bryansk, which is crucial for the Russian military, has been shut down for at least six months. This assessment was published by the Ukrainian General Staff following the evaluation of last Tuesday’s attack.
In particular, the main production building was hit. Integrated switches for ballistic, anti-aircraft and steering missiles of different types were manufactured there. As a result of the attack, there was a fire on an area of about 1,000 m2 with the subsequent destruction of the roof of the building.
A storage room for components to manufacture gears has also been found. The area of the fire was about 400 m2.
BELGIUM WANTS CAPITULATION
Belgian Prime Minister Bart de Wever stated that the European Union is currently unable to force Russia to withdraw neither militarily nor economically, and suggested to begin direct negotiations with the Kremlin.
«Since we cannot threaten Putin with weapons supplies to Ukraine and cannot suffocate him economically without the support of the United States, there is only one method: to make a deal,” he said.
According to de Wever, the USA could force Europe into an agreement that is unfavorable to them if the EU does not receive its own negotiating mandate.
The politician had previously spoken out against harsh measures against Moscow and blocked initiatives to use frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine. De Wever has been head of government in Belgium since last year and a leading member of the nationalist Flanders separatists.
PUTIN IS AFRAID
Putin’s residence «Bocharov Ruchey» in Sochi will be transformed into a security zone. The Russian security service wants to set up a three square kilometer area with drone and missile anti-missile artillery.
In addition, various activities around the villa are prohibited. These include putting up banners, using weapon-like objects, repairing cars and motorcycles, animal husbandry and disposal of waste. In addition, drone flights and boat paving near Putin’s residence are banned.
