Oh yeh Saudi Arabia, UAE and Qatar are doing so well against Iran they will really be a great help to him

Volodymyr Zelensky has sent 201 drone specialists and has more waiting to go to the middle east to stop Iranian drones. Why is he not using these people to save his own country

That is fucking hilarious he's losing big chunks of Ukraine to the Russians and he's going to divert drone specialists to a war he has no dog in that war.

From what Ive read, it was the US that asked Ukraine for help as they are now experts in anti-drone warfare. Especially the Shahed drones that Iran has been supplying to Russia for the last 4 years

Zelensky is stepping up to support the US in the hope that Trump will step up to support Ukraine

What's new since last week?

Pakistan negotiated a 2 week cease fire in the Iran - Israel- US war yesterday, why not ask them to try bring a ceasefire in this war.

Pakistan negotiated a 2 week cease fire in the Iran - Israel- US war yesterday, why not ask them to try bring a ceasefire in this war.

I would think Putin is much further away from a peace deal now than before the Iran war. Firstly the rise in oil prices means he is making a lot more money to fuel his war machine. Secondly Trump has removed sanctions so he can now sell more oil and make even more money. Thirdly he can turn to the rest of the world and say "See ?? The US launches unprovoked attacks on sovereign nations so why should it be any different for Russia ??"

We had one chance to end this war and that was for NATO to stand together and put pressure on Putin. Trump has done the exact opposite

Putin declared a ceasefire for Orthodox Easter like he did past years, it will be good for all including the troops on either side of this SMO if Zelensky reciprocates, let those guys get a break and celebrate Easter.

"A ceasefire is declared from 16:00 (1300 GMT) on April 11 until the end of the day on April 12, 2026" by Putin, "in connection with the approaching Orthodox feast of Easter," the Kremlin said in a statement.

The general staff has "been instructed to cease combat operations in all directions for this period," the Kremlin said, adding that troops were ready to "counter any possible provocations by the enemy."

Kyiv has yet to comment on the ceasefire announcement."

I agree. Don't get me wrong, Im glad there is a ceasefire but if I was fighting to stop my country from being invaded, I don't think I would want to stop fighting just because my enemy wanted a break over Easter ??

Of course Im not the one fighting so its easy for me to say that

Ukraine has a big problem, everybody is worried about the oil and Iran war, weapons and ammo is being sent to Israel, how can Ukraine keep up the fight if we do not help them with what they need.

Foxnews is reporting the blockade is now in effect.


"Trump-issued naval blockade of Iranian ports in Strait of Hormuz begins

The U.S. Navy imposed a blockade on Iranian ports across the country and in the Strait of Hormuz at the order of President Donald Trump on Monday.

"President Donald Trump has warned Iran to keep away from U.S. vessels enforcing Monday's blockade of the nation's ports.

Trump acknowledged that Iran still has a number of fast attack vessels despite suffering huge losses to its navy under Operation Epic Fury."



"Iran’s Navy is laying at the bottom of the sea, completely obliterated - 158 ships. What we have not hit are their small number of, what they call, 'fast attack ships,' because we did not consider them much of a threat," Trump wrote.

"Warning: If any of these ships come anywhere close to our BLOCKADE, they will be immediately ELIMINATED, using the same system of kill that we use against the drug dealers on boats at Sea. It is quick and brutal," he added."

Will Russia hit military manufacturing facilities in Europe?


"‘Sleep well, Europe’: Russia threatens UK sites with potential strikes over Ukraine support
Russia’s defence establishment has reportedly identified multiple European sites involved in supplying or producing military equipment — particularly drones — for Ukraine. "

I think it's ironic that NATO countries have refused to get involved in Trump's war with Iran but one country that IS helping is Ukraine

They have sent hundreds of drone experts and interceptor drones to various gulf countries to help them deal with Iran's shaheed drones. Ukraine has years of experience in taking out these drones and now they are using that expertise to help America in the straits of Hormuz. In return, gulf countries are giving their support to Ukraine in their war with Russia

So in a nutshell, in the middle east you've got Russia supporting Iran and Ukraine supporting America. Yet in Europe, America has all but pulled its support for Ukraine and instead is pushing Russia's agenda ???

This war could be quickly ended if Trump stopped cozying up to Putin and instead, helped Ukraine push the Russians back. Not all the way, but once they start loosing territory then Putin will be much more open to a peace deal.
