Ukraine launches a national resistance training system after Zelensky signs a law establishing specialized centers and embedding training into the education system at all levels, from schools to higher education institutions.

👤حمیدرضا فروزانفر، نوه خواهر علی خامنه‌ای، در بخشی از مستند بی‌بی‌سی می‌گوید:
یکی از دایی‌هایش از مجتبی خامنه‌ای رهبر فعلی جمهوری اسلامی درباره علت خشونت در سرکوب معترضان سؤال کرد و مجتبی در پاسخ گفت که «ما باید آن‌ها را در خیابان آتش می‌زدیم. خیلی با آن‌ها با مدارا برخورد کردیم»


جمهوری اسلامی با مجتبی خامنه‌ای اگر زنده باشد بسیار تاریک تر و خون‌ریز خواهد شد.

❗️Russian drone attacks on energy infrastructure facilities have caused power outages in Odesa, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Sumy, and Kharkiv oblasts, according to Ukrenergo.

❗️🇺🇦 In Ukraine, young people will be trained for national resistance: special centers will be created, Zelensky signed the law.

There will be a new training model that will be integrated into the educational process at all levels - from secondary to higher education.

It is planned to introduce the discipline "Fundamentals of National Resistance", create Training Centers, and regulate the use of firearms for practical exercises.

Russia orders regions to form “volunteer” lists from debtors and students, using debt write-offs and incentives to pressure enlistment; relatives are also targeted, while universities push at least 2% of students to sign military contracts.

Kyrylo Budanov, Head of the Presidential Office, says wars cannot be won without people, rejecting the idea that drones alone can secure victory for Ukraine. He stresses that while technology plays a role, the absence of sufficient personnel leads to defeat in war.

🇺🇦 Budanov: “Wars cannot be won without people”

According to Budanov, you can win a war only if you have people, but without them you can lose.

Separately, Budanov emphasized that the army needs not only infantry, but also air defense, logistics, etc., so people must fulfill their civic duty.

Budanov says Ukraine is in contact with Russia, trying among other things to arrange a prisoner exchange. Easter is being considered as a possible date.

🇨🇳🇹🇼 China Naval Presence Doubles Near Taiwan

Two Taiwanese security officials told Reuters that China has deployed nearly 100 vessels — naval and coast guard — in and around the South and East China Seas this week, up from a typical deployment of 50–60 ships. Intelligence reports reviewed by Reuters corroborated the figures, showing the increase progressed from roughly 70 vessels at the end of March.

Taiwan's Defence Minister Wellington Koo told lawmakers that China is continuously expanding its military capabilities and that the threat to Taiwan is becoming increasingly severe. Koo also stated that Taiwan must demonstrate its resolve to defend itself to the United States and other partners, citing risks if that resolve were doubted.

China also declared reserved airspace off its eastern coast from March 27 to May 5, roughly a week before a planned Trump-Xi meeting. Taiwan's National Security Bureau head Tsai Ming-yen said the measure may be intended to test the frequency of US aircraft operations in the Indo-Pacific ahead of that summit.

Zelensky says Ukraine’s decision to give up nuclear weapons was a “deception,” arguing NATO membership should have been the minimum guarantee, and criticizes signatories for failing to provide security as Russia now uses transferred assets in war.
