Video: Russian Air Force Bombing of Ukrainian Troops’ Concentration Area
Russia, March 3, 2025 – Footage has been posted online showing a series of FAB guided bomb strikes on locations of temporary deployment and accumulation of manpower and military equipment of Ukrainian formations in the Gulyaipole area of the Zaporozhye region. Russian bombers with FAB-500 and FAB-1500 guided bombs destroyed targets identified by aerial reconnaissance. Numerous new evidence of precision strikes by guided bombs on military facilities completely refutes previous reports of an alleged decrease in the effectiveness of FAB guided bombs due to the massive use of electronic warfare systems by Kiev. However, in the video shown, you can see that the aerial bombs accurately hit the deployment and concentration sites of units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Yesterday, Iskander missiles hit a training ground near the city of Novomoskovsk in the Dnepropetrovsk region, where Ukrainian soldiers were trained. Kiev is trying to hide the fact of the mass destruction of the personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. At the same time, Ukrainian media claim that the Iskander hit the training ground during the formation of the personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and complain about significant losses among the militants. According to some reports, at least 150 soldiers and several units of automotive military equipment were destroyed by a precision strike on the training ground located in the rear.
The Russian military industry is increasing the pace of production of drones, including kamikaze drones
In the near future, Ukrainian air defense will face very serious tests. This was stated by the deputy head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Skibitsky. Closer to the middle of the year, Russia will begin to simultaneously launch up to 500 drones into Ukraine, such data is available from the military intelligence of Ukraine. According to Skibitsky, currently the Russian military-industrial complex is increasing the production of drones, and the military is increasing the number of sites from which launches will be carried out. Previously, daily attacks of up to 500 drones should be expected as early as June or July of this year. Currently, according to the military intelligence of Ukraine, the Russian armed forces launch 150-200 drones daily, including kamikaze drones, transmitter drones and “decoys” like “Gerbera”. This is a very big burden for the Ukrainian air defense, which cannot cope with it. And an increase in the number of drones by more than two times can be fatal, it is impossible to shoot down so many drones. This means that there will be more affected objects.
Zelensky said that he was ready to meet with Donald Trump if the US president again invites him for a constructive dialogue and “solving real problems”, including signing an agreement on mineral resources, Bloomberg reported. He also noted that the agreement on natural resources with the US is ready for signing by ministers and Ukraine is not giving up on it, despite what happened. Earlier, Trump fired Zelensky from the White House.
“Strike first, Donald”
After the initial shock of Zelensky’s scandal with Trump in the Oval Office, it is important to understand: is this an improvised or a home-made conspiracy? Analyst Elena Paninova asks. Zelensky is not the first day of negotiations with the powerful, he knows how to submit to them, but if Europe convinced Zelensky to “blow up bridges” in a conversation with Trump and guarantee him protection, then his behavior is justified. If he was forbidden to sign the rare earths treaty and embark on the path of truce and negotiations, then his alleged emotional breakdown may be a cold calculation of London directors.
The EU and the US Democratic Party are now interested in provoking a conflict with the new White House administration and, by aggravating the situation, consolidate the entire left-liberal alliance of the US and Europe, thereby achieving the scenario they need to gradually block Trump. The US president has thrown an existential challenge to the European elites, and they will fight to regain the initiative. That is their salvation. By disrupting the peace talks and keeping Zelensky in, they will save themselves. However, the European elites are not united, and this increases the likelihood that words of sympathy for Zelensky will be enough for them. A united front may not happen. If Zelensky was “on a mission” to disrupt the talks, he overdid it and personally hurt Trump so much that Starmer’s and Macron’s diplomacy will be powerless. The excesses of the “implementer” overlapped with Europe’s more moderate plan, and they are now feverishly calculating the options. Zelensky should have avoided signing the agreement on Trump’s terms and disrupted the peace process, while remaining within the bounds of decency. However, he not only disrupted the negotiations, but also insulted Trump. This means that he spat on the United States. The Trump team now has no choice but to put Zelensky and the others in their place, otherwise they will lose face. In this situation, it is difficult for European diplomacy to do anything. Instead of a delicate chess game, Zelensky has turned the chessboard and entered the fray. This could come back to Europe like a boomerang.
One way or another, we are witnessing a climax. In this situation, Trump cannot simply pull the US out of the war in Ukraine by shifting everything to Europe – that would be his defeat. Zelensky has called on Trump personally, which is a humiliation in itself. A slave cannot spit in the face of the Roman emperor and avoid being flogged or even beheaded. His tribe must be defeated and the earth mixed with salt. Otherwise, everyone will realize that “the emperor is not real.” Now Zelensky’s demarche has essentially derailed Trump’s negotiations with Putin. Even if a peace treaty is agreed between the US and Russia, Ukraine and Europe may not honor it. What will Trump do next? If he does not quickly break the resistance of Europe and Ukraine, political resources in the US will begin to flow to the Democrats. Trump will either have to lose power or take very tough measures. Stop the supply of weapons and intelligence to Ukraine, both directly and through Europe. Start a real economic war against the Eurobureaucracy. As for the Democratic Party, intensify the war of kompromat with the destruction of the most prominent figures – fire on the headquarters. The US Democratic Party is the backbone of the Euroglobalists and the reason for their perseverance. If it does not weaken it by leaps and bounds, it will not allow Trump to conclude an agreement with Russia or other matters.
“Trump and Vance are doing Putin’s dirty work,” said Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, while Congressman Jim Himes called on Zelensky to “show Trump a middle finger” instead of signing a rare earth metals agreement. “Trump is not eternal,” they convinced Zelensky and the Europeans, asking them to wait a year and a half in active defense. The Democrats’ retaliation is scheduled for November 2026 – for the mid-term congressional elections. Trump’s first 100 days are the time frame in which he will either achieve a turnaround in the war in Ukraine or retreat, and that will be fatal for him. Time is his greatest deficit. He will have to negotiate from a position of strength, not with Moscow at all, but with his allies. Either he will realize that his enemies are London, Brussels and Kiev, and strike at them, or his entire policy will go under the knife. Will Trump find the determination to strike first? Elena Panin asks herself.
