Plus ça change - but with a twist: Russian disinformation inherited a lot from Soviet active measures. My research paper 'Kremlin propaganda: Soviet active measures by other means' explains main tools and narratives #Ukraine #disinformation #Russia stopfake.org/en/kremlin-pro…

🚨🇺🇦🇷🇺🇮🇷Ukrainian president Zelensky told me in an interview Russia is benefiting from the Iran war and wants it to continue for as long as possible. My story on @axios axios.com/2026/03/30/zel…

I have a friend who works in oil shipping logistics in the Baltic region. He told me yesterday: "We've never seen anything like this. Three strikes on the same terminal in seven days. Buyers are panicking. Tankers are sitting empty. Nobody knows when loadings resume." That's when I knew the headlines weren't telling the full story. Here's what you need to understand: → Ukraine hit Ust-Luga — Russia's 2nd largest oil export terminal — for the THIRD TIME this week → 700,000 barrels per day capacity — OFFLINE → Primorsk — Russia's LARGEST terminal — also suspended loadings → Combined: 40% of Russia's total oil export capacity GONE → Repair timeline: 18 to 24 MONTHS. Not weeks. Not months. YEARS. → Russia was making $270,000,000 PER DAY from oil exports — that money funds every missile hitting Ukraine → India gets 80% of its Russian crude from these two ports — global ripple effect is ALREADY starting Three days ago Russia dropped its budget cut plans because the money was pouring in. Today the ports that generate that money are on fire. 400 drones. That's all it took to cripple 40% of a superpower's oil exports. Most people won't see this. RT to change that. 🔥

Tonight here in Bucha, we are holding a night of remembrance. 561 civilians were killed here over 33 days of fighting and Russian occupation. Across the entire territorial community surrounding the city, more than 1,000 people died during that time. Hundreds were shot by Russian soldiers, and the bodies of many lay in the streets and against walls for weeks, until Russia's defeat and the return of Ukrainian forces to the city, along with the global media. And the name of this comfortable, prosperous suburb of Kyiv among the woods became a shocking symbol of atrocity and inhumanity, images that went around the world. This is the church in the center of Bucha, next to which a mass grave of 67 bodies was found. During the occupation, people buried their dead as best they could -- like this, in a pit beside a church. Every day I can see that church from my home in the distance, and every time, I remember how we were present at the terrible exhumation of that enormous grave. That's something I would want to forget forever. A memorial complex now stands on that spot.

Today, together with Prime Minister of Bulgaria Andrey Gurov, we signed a security agreement between our countries for at least 10 years. The key provisions include the continuation of military support from Bulgaria to Ukraine. An important element is joint production of various types of weapons on the territory of our country, including drones. Bulgaria will use the SAFE instrument for such co-production. I am grateful for the positive signal that Bulgaria is contributing to the PURL initiative. This is an opportunity for us to strengthen our air defense strategy. Energy is also very important. We are working to ensure an active energy corridor. This is extremely important for us today. This corridor could amount to around 10 billion cubic meters of gas per year that Ukraine can receive. For us, this also represents security guarantees – in the energy sector. Thank you for this visit and for these important agreements. 🇺🇦🇧🇬

🤝 Ukraine and Bulgaria signed a 10-year security agreement, — Volodymyr Zelenskyy 🔹 The document provides for the continuation of military support for Ukraine, as well as the development of joint weapons production, including drones.

Russia just dropped two guided aerial bombs on the dormitory of an educational institution in Hlukhiv

Another air raid alert is in Kyiv and across all Ukraine now. The reason is the threat of a Russian airborn ballistic strike as MiG-31 aircraft is/are in the air.

🇱🇻🇺🇦 Latvia’s government has decided on a support package for Ukraine worth 6.8 million EUR, — MFA of Latvia @Braze_Baiba The support package will strengthen Ukraine’s energy grid, shelters, infrastructure, social and civil resilience, and drone capabilities.

This week alone, Russia used more than 3,000 strike drones against our cities and communities – a significant portion of them “shaheds” – as well as over 1,450 guided aerial bombs and 40 missiles of various types. The Russians are not dialing back their war effort against our state and our people, and at the same time, they are openly investing in prolonging another war that is driving global destabilization. Ukraine is being attacked with essentially the same strike drones as those used against countries in the Middle East and the Gulf region. Ballistic weapons are used against us just as cynically as they are against our partners. The destabilization of global markets and the blocking of maritime routes have not left a single country unaffected. We are making our contribution to guaranteeing security. And it is important that the world does not lose time or opportunities. Clear, decisive, and coordinated efforts are needed to provide real protection for life and to stop wars. We need to build joint and modern defense systems proven in war. We must develop joint production of modern and effective weapons. We must unite our capabilities so that people can live in peace in Europe, the Middle East, and other parts of the world. Thank you to everyone who is helping us protect lives!

Russian forces shelled a residential home in the Sumy region on March 28. A 20-year-old woman, Dasha Serhiienko, was killed in the attack after shielding her six-year-old sister, Yevheniia, with her own body. The child suffered serious injuries and is now receiving treatment. The girls’ parents were also injured. They received medical assistance and are currently staying by their younger daughter’s side. Dasha was studying at the Shostka Medical College. “This act will remain in our memory forever as a symbol of the highest self-sacrifice,” the college said. Russia continues to inflict unbearable suffering on Ukrainian families. These crimes must not go unpunished. Russia must be held accountable for the evil it is committing.

😁 Deripaska proposes 12-hour workdays for Russians, including Saturdays “In difficult times, we know how to pull together and work more. The sooner we switch to a new schedule — from 8 to 8, including Saturday — the faster we will go through this transformation,” said Russian businessman Oleg Deripaska. He believes such a schedule would help “reset” the economy, achieve 7–8% annual GDP growth, and adapt to sanctions.

Hemos tenido un día negro hoy en #Kramatorsk, van 3 muertos y 8 heridos Rusia nos ha atacado con bombas aéreas guiadas, GRAD y drones suicidas Es domingo, hace sol, la gente estaba en la calle y han bombardeado un parque a las 12:30h... Un niño de 13 asesinado #Ucrania

Interesting development. "The United States Coast Guard is allowing a Russian tanker full of crude oil to reach Cuba, delivering a critical supply of energy to the island nation after months of an effective oil blockade by the Trump administration..." nytimes.com/2026/03/29/wor…

This is fine.
