Russia has given its answer.

x Russia's presidential assistant Yuri Ushakov: "A temporary ceasefire is just a pause for Ukrainian forces. Actions mimicking peace efforts are unnecessary. Russia seeks a long-term peace settlement that respects its interests. Moscow expects the U.S. to consider its stance in future cooperation."

Translation: We’ll agree to a ceasefire only under our conditions.

x Russian President Vladimir Putin said he supports the idea of a ceasefire with Ukraine but it must result in a “long-term peace” and "address the root causes of the crisis."

Well, I guess he’s just gonna have to be fucking disappointed.

x The US president said he would like to see a ceasefire from Russia and hopes that "Russia will do the right thing," because if not, it will be a very "disappointing moment for the whole world."

So now we’ll see how Trump reacts.

I assume the major power plant he is talking about is the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant on the Dnipro River.

x Trump: "We will see if Russia agrees, and if not, it will be a very disappointing moment for the world." "We’ve discussed with Ukraine which territories will be left or lost, as well as other elements. A major power plant is part of the talks, and we’re discussing the concepts of an agreement."

Russia says it has full control of Sudzha — after destroying it, of course.

You didn’t really think Putin would actually visit an active war zone, did you?

x Russian propaganda sources released a video claiming dictator Putin visited a command post in the Kursk. However, the video shows Putin in military uniform with Gerasimov, set against green trees — unlikely for March in Kursk. This suggests the video was staged or filmed earlier🤭🤗

But Ukraine has nearly full control of Shevchenko, south of Pokrovsk.

x Ukraine's 425th Assault Regiment SKALA has advanced to the most southwestern part of Shevchenko. After losing the strategic town south of Pokrovsk weeks ago, Ukrainian units now seem to have regained most of it, if not completely.

x While Russian and North Korean forces were distracted in the Kursk area, Ukrainian forces further liberated Ukrainian soil. This time the village of Shevchenko near Pokrovsk has been liberated.

Bavovna

A woman is rescued after spending 20 hours under the rubble.

x In Kostiantynivka, a woman spent nearly a day under the rubble: rescuers pulled her out alive. Nearly 20 hours under the ruins of a destroyed nine-story building – a horror that a woman had to endure after devastating russian airstrikes on the city.

Something about … the enemy of my enemy is my (temporary) friend.

x Amazing — GOP Congressman Joe Wilson (the guy who yelled “You lie!” at Obama in 2009) tries to get Trump to flip on Putin/Ukraine by calling Putin “woke.” (h/t @bcfinucane.bsky.social)

A weapons system that is so expensive that you can only spare a few dozen of them isn’t much of a weapons system.

x 🐯 Russia: Tiger mauled and killed a Russian politician in far east Primorsky Krai.

Fly the friendly skies.

x Yet another lucky escape in Russia's crippled aviation industry. Today it's Irkutsk airline IrAero, whose Bombardier CRJ-200 flying from Krasnoyarsk to China suddenly suffered depressurisation. Pilots completed an emergency landing safely in Manzhouli; none of the 44 on board (6 crew) was injured.
