In Mariupol, a 17-year-old boy, Dmytro Shuvalov, who had cerebral palsy, was left alone in a locked house after his parents were shot by a sniper while going out to get humanitarian aid. He couldn’t walk. He couldn’t speak. He was found dead on a couch months later. No one knows how long he survived alone. This what Russia did “liberating” Mariupol in its genocidal war. memorial.ua/obituaries/civ…

BREAKING: Qatar just signed a 10-year defence co-production agreement with Ukraine. Not an advisory partnership. Not a training exchange. Co-production facilities. Joint defence industry projects. Technological partnerships between companies. Signed by the Chiefs of General Staff of both nations on March 28 per Zelensky’s verified account and Qatar News Agency. Qatar shares the world’s largest natural gas field with Iran. The North Field / South Pars reservoir holds 1,800 trillion cubic feet of gas per the IEA. Two-thirds lies in Qatari waters. Ten days ago, Iran hit Ras Laffan Industrial City, the facility that processes all the gas from Qatar’s side of their shared field per CNN and QatarEnergy. Seventeen percent of Qatar’s LNG capacity is offline for three to five years. Fourteen percent of helium exports are cut. Force majeure declared. Iran bombed the other half of its own shared gas field. And now Qatar is building weapons factories with the country that mastered killing the drone Iran used to do it. The drone is the Shahed-136. Iran designed it. Russia industrialised it. Russia fired it at Ukrainian cities for four years. Ukraine developed the $2,100 Sting interceptor that kills it at a 70 percent rate. Zelensky told The National he can deliver 1,000 interceptors per day. The 10-year deal ensures Qatar will not just buy these weapons. It will manufacture them on Qatari soil with Ukrainian technology. This is the first time in the history of this war that a Gulf state has committed to building the production line, not just purchasing the product. Saudi Arabia signed a defence cooperation agreement on March 27. The UAE agreed to security cooperation on March 28. But Qatar went further. Co-production means factories. Factories mean sovereignty over supply. Qatar will no longer depend on anyone for the weapon that protects the gas field that powers 30 percent of the world’s helium. Zelensky met Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani. He updated them on Russia’s ongoing attacks and its cooperation with the Iranian regime. He told them air defence remains Ukraine’s absolute priority. Then he asked for what he has asked every Gulf leader this week: Patriot missiles that the Gulf possesses and that Ukraine desperately needs to stop Russian missiles that use the same guidance components from the same Chinese rare earth processing chain. The exchange is now visible across three countries in 48 hours. Ukraine gives cheap interceptors and expertise. Gulf states give expensive missiles and investment. Ukraine gets what it needs for Russia. The Gulf gets what it needs for Iran. And the drone that connects both wars, the Shahed that Iran designed and Russia upgraded, becomes the mechanism through which two separate conflicts merge into a single weapons economy. Trump called Zelensky “the greatest salesman on Earth.” In 48 hours, Zelensky signed three defence agreements across three Gulf capitals, secured a 10-year industrial partnership, deployed over 200 specialists, and positioned Ukraine as the sole provider of the one capability America’s $3.9 million Patriot cannot replicate: cheap, high-volume, battle-proven drone interception at $2,100 per unit. The country America said it did not need just locked in a decade of Gulf defence contracts while America raids Swiss accounts to cover its own interceptor shortfall.

BREAKING: Zelensky just landed in Doha to defend a gas field that Qatar shares with the country bombing it. Iran and Qatar share the North Field / South Pars, the largest natural gas reservoir on earth. It holds 1,800 trillion cubic feet of gas, enough to supply the world for 13 years per Reuters and the IEA. Two-thirds sits in Qatari waters. One-third in Iranian waters. It is one geological structure divided by a maritime border. On March 18, after Israel struck South Pars infrastructure on the Iranian side, Iran retaliated by hitting Ras Laffan Industrial City on the Qatari side per CNN and QatarEnergy. The facility that processes all the gas from Qatar’s share of their joint field was struck by missiles from the country that shares the field. QatarEnergy declared force majeure. Seventeen percent of Qatar’s LNG capacity is offline for three to five years. Fourteen percent of Qatar’s helium exports have been cut. Qatar supplies 30 percent of the world’s helium, the gas that cools quantum computers, MRI machines, semiconductor fabs, and SpaceX rockets. Iran bombed the other half of its own gas field. Now Zelensky is in Doha offering to protect what remains. And the weapon Iran is using to attack Qatar is the weapon Zelensky spent four years learning to destroy. Iran designed the Shahed-136 kamikaze drone. Iran gave the design to Russia. Russia industrialized it, upgraded the navigation, added anti-jamming modules sourced from Chinese components, renamed it the Geran-2, and fired thousands of them at Ukrainian cities for four years. Ukraine developed the $2,100 FPV interceptor that kills the Shahed at a 70 percent rate per Forces News and Militarnyi. Ukraine trained over 7,000 operators on battlefield-proven simulators. Ukraine deployed 201 specialists across the Gulf states per Zelensky’s own count. Iran invented the drone. Russia upgraded it. Ukraine learned to kill it. Iran is now firing it at Qatar. Zelensky just arrived to close the loop. The cost arithmetic makes the circle complete. Qatar and its Gulf allies have been intercepting Iranian Shaheds with $3.9 million Patriot missiles per Military Times. The cost exchange ratio is 114 to 1 in Iran’s favour. Zelensky is offering Sting interceptors at $2,100 per unit, 1,000 per day, inverting the ratio to roughly 10 to 1 against Iran. He told The National: “No matter how many Patriots, THAADs, or other air-defence systems are in the Middle East, that alone is not enough for fully effective air defence.” He is right. And the reason he is right is that the drone Qatar is trying to stop was designed in Tehran, upgraded in Moscow, and defeated in Kyiv before it ever arrived over Ras Laffan. Nobody on earth has more operational experience against this specific weapon than Ukraine. Not America. Not Israel. Not the Gulf states. Four years and thousands of engagements built the institutional knowledge that Zelensky just carried into Doha. Zelensky told reporters: “Real security is built on partnership.” In return he wants Patriot missiles for Ukraine’s own defence against Russia, financial support for reconstruction, and investment in Ukrainian drone production per Al Jazeera. The country that invented the drone is bombing the gas field it shares with its neighbour. The country that learned to kill the drone just arrived to defend that neighbour. The weapon has come full circle. So has the man who defeated it. Full analysis: open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

LT. GEN. WHITNEY: The biggest thing we’ve seen coming out of Ukraine is the rapid pace of innovation and how quickly they turn new concepts into reality. They fly things, test them, then iterate and constantly improve them. Their level of innovation is "out of this world".

Horrific moment of a russian drone strike on Kharkiv on the evening of March 25. The strike killed a woman. There is nothing military anywhere nearby. As usual, russia just randomly strikes our city in an attempt to break us.

A bridge has collapsed in Russian Dagestan due to floods. Instead of investing into Russian infrastructure, Putin spends billions on destroying Ukrainian infrastructure.

STUBB: For 1% of Ukrainian land, Russia lost 500,000 soldiers. Ukrainians are killing over 30,000 Russians per month, and Russia can't recruit enough replacements. This may force a problematic general mobilization on Russian side. Plus, the Russian economy continues to suffer.

Maternity ward in Odesa. Again. The hardest was evacuating newborn twins on ventilators. When Russian Shaheds attacked, doctors moved 33 pregnant women and 19 newborns to safety in a bomb shelter. Then helped put out the fire.

The ally of my enemy is my enemy. That’s usually how the history of war has played out. Yet, for some reason , Russia is an ally of Iran but still treated as a friend by Trump and his team. Why? So bizarre. And antithetical to American national interests.

A few GOP have spoken up against Trump‘s support of Russia against Ukraine, including @RepDonBacon, a true Reagan conservative. But speaking, or tweeting, is not enough when you have constitutional power to stand up to Trump‘s pro-Kremlin agenda. That can and must change. Read:
Renew Democracy Initiative@Renew_Democracy

Read @Kasparov63's appeal to @RepDonBacon: "If young Ukrainian men and women can sacrifice their lives to defend the Free World, can’t an outgoing congressman sacrifice his partisan loyalty to defend Ukraine?" thenextmove.org/p/can-this-gop…

Some of these cases may seem old or obscure, but it’s always important for a godfather like Putin to demonstrate power and loyalty to his guys when he can. Demonstrating that he can get Trump to obey him like this tells current thugs to worry less about US sanctions.
Anders Åslund@anders_aslund

Trump ends sanctions on awful crooks, now the Ukrainian pro-Russian Andriy Portnov, the Yanukovych official who initiator of the "dictatorial laws" of 16 January 2014. Trump seeks villains & falls in love with them. What does he get for that? ofac.treasury.gov/recent-actions…
