Russians value stability, regardless of government actions or war crimes. Recently, this 'stability' is marked by daily Ukrainian drone attacks. In Labinsk, Kuban, a fuel depot was set ablaze and burned for hours. Meanwhile, in Moscow, unidentified drones have paralyzed airport operations for two days, delaying many flights.
Russian authorities responded by partially blocking mobile internet in Moscow, angering the city's residents. Access is now mostly limited to Russian online services and certain websites, creating the so-called 'Cheburnet'—an isolated Russian internet. Some Muscovites have returned to using paper maps for navigation, and lawmakers suggest reverting to landline phones.
Amid these tensions, political battles are heating up in Hungary ahead of the April 12 parliamentary elections. Prime Minister Viktor Orbán campaigns for re-election, using anti-Ukrainian rhetoric, while his main rival, Péter Magyar, a former Orbán ally, criticizes the government for corruption and takes a limited, neutral stance on supporting Ukraine. Intelligence reports claim Russian interference in support of Orbán, including social media propaganda and discrediting campaigns against opponents.
Ukrainian volunteer fundraising, led by Serhiy Sternenko, continues to provide frontline units with drones, especially in the Zaporizhzhia and Sumy regions. Soldiers thank supporters for their aid, which helps fight against occupiers. Sternenko urges ongoing support for Ukraine's defenders.
