Ukraine: Zelensky has leverage and should use it

“We received signals from partners in the Middle East. There have been strikes by Iranian “shaheds” on civilians in those countries. They are seeking our expertise. We are open. If their representatives come, we will provide the expertise. Especially since there is also a request from Europeans and from the United States. Requests have come to us to share our experience with partners in the Middle East. Regarding weapons: we ourselves are at war. And I said, completely frankly, that we have a shortage of what they have. They have missiles for the Patriots, but hundreds or thousands of “shaheds” cannot be intercepted with Patriot missiles – it is too costly. Nothing is too much for the people, of course, but they simply do not have that many missiles. That is why they need interceptor drones, which we have. Meanwhile, we have a shortage of PAC-2 and PAC-3 missiles. So, when it comes to technology or weapons exchange, I believe our country will be open to it” – President Volodymyr Zelensky (04.03.2026).

Today after years of conflict and continues defence war between Ukraine and the Russian-Belorussian axis against them. Kyiv finally has a word and has a say. Because they have the knowhow and the experience in means to stop the invasion of Iranian drones and Iranian military technology. The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) has now the knowledge and the ability to stop these sorts of weaponry against it. Therefore, the learned skill and the price of defending against it is now a valuable asset.

Kyiv now has a card. Heck, Kyiv has something valuable and they can help allies. Allies who have blocked arms and made it hectic for them to wage a defensive war. Washington D.C. has been a stepping stone and a direct blockade of delivery of promised weapons, ammunition and whatnot to Kyiv.

Trump has ambushed and treated Zelensky with harsh means. He has treated him badly and been a worse as an adversary. Trump could easily be an enemy of Zelensky by how he has operated and acted regarding Ukraine. Now that Trump is under fire and started a conflict, which he never understood the implications of. That’s why he suddenly calls Kyiv and asks for help. After he has done everything in his way to weaken and make things worse for the Ukrainian efforts to stifle and stop Russian from invading their nation. This is why…

Zelensky should get everything he asks for. Zelensky should be greedy and be on the offensive. He should, because Trump isn’t a trustworthy leader or a character you can depend on. So, he should ask for the gifts of heaven and whatever he can send to Kyiv in exchange for the means to stop Iranian drones in the Middle East. That’s what he should, and no one should blame him.

Now is the time for the United States of America to pay Ukraine. Now is the time to serve Ukraine and give them what they are asking for. If they want help from Ukraine. Ukraine should get whatever it is asking for. That’s if the USA wants to have wisdom or the ability to stop the Iranian attacks in the Middle East. As they have what he needs… and Trump should bend the knee.

No one can trust Trump. No one should believe anything Trump does. That’s why Ukraine should only offer their knowhow and possible technologies when the U.S. has delivered what they have promised. Because they have promised before and never delivered it. So, please…

Kyiv be smart. You have leverage. Use it. Peace.

Sudan: Sudan Doctors Network – Press Release (04.03.2026)

5 people were killed and 33 others injured as a result of artillery shelling targeting the city of Al-Dilling, carried out by the Rapid Support Forces and the SPLM–Al-Hilu faction.

Five (5) people were killed and thirty-three (33) others injured due to artillery shelling that targeted the city of Al-Dilling. The attack was carried out by the Rapid Support Forces and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement–North (Al-Hilu faction). The shelling struck the neighborhoods of Freish, Al-Marafid, and Al-Hilla Al-Jadida, causing civilian casualties and varying degrees of damage to homes and property. Health facilities in the city received the wounded, some of whom are in critical condition, while medical staff are working under extremely difficult circumstances.

The Sudan Doctors Network strongly condemns this systematic targeting of residential neighborhoods, describing it as a blatant violation of international humanitarian law that puts innocent civilians at grave risk—especially with the use of heavy artillery in densely populated areas. The network affirms that the continuation of such actions exacerbates citizens’ suffering and further deteriorates the humanitarian and health situation in the city.

The network holds the Rapid Support Forces and the SPLM–Al-Hilu faction fully responsible for this systematic targeting and calls on the international community, as well as UN and human rights organizations, to take urgent action to pressure for an end to attacks on civilians and residential areas. It also calls for providing necessary protection to residents who have begun voluntarily returning following the lifting of the siege on the city. Additionally, the network urges the United Nations to pressure the leadership of the Rapid Support Forces and the SPLM–Al-Hilu faction responsible for these violations.

The Silent War: Gen. Saltani Makenga reappears

“General Sultani Makenga Makes First Public Appearance Amid Death Rumors. AFC/M23 Chief of Staff General Sultani Makenga resurfaced publicly on Monday, March 2, attending a graduation ceremony for 1,518 newly recruited mobile special forces at Rumangabo military camp in Rutshuru Territory; his first appearance following widespread speculation about his death. In his address, General Makenga condemned ongoing drone strikes by DRC government forces, warning that the attacks are targeting densely populated areas and causing significant civilian casualties” (Kivu Post, 04.03.2026).

The so-called assassination attempt and the supposed death confirmation of Gen. Sultani Makenga was false. I published it too, but there were several sources claiming he had been airlifted and been severely hurt in the drone attack that killed Willy Ngoma. So, there was so many signals, that it was easy to be taken into a tidal wave. He was supposed to be taken to the Bombo Military Hospital in Uganda. Therefore, there was so many details, but these was apparently false. So, I have myself deleted that piece, as that’s the right thing to do.

Now it is official that this man is still breathing and operating. That the military commander is doing his work. That’s why the AFC/M23 released the video showing him attending a graduation ceremony for new recruits. That’s why we know this is official. He is not gone and is here to stay.

There will be more to this story, but at least I have rectified my wrong, after being burned by sources a few days ago. However, here we are and will continue to follow up what is going on. This war isn’t over and there is still movement going along. Regardless of sanctions against the Rwandan Defence Force (RDF), as that won’t stop their war or stop them from participating in the conflict. They are doing this for a purpose and that’s not even that clandestine either. Peace.
