The U.S. military asked for and is receiving help from the Armed Forces of Ukraine with drone interception systems.
But on March 14th, Putin puppet Trump said "we don't need help" and also that the "last person we need help from is Zelenskyy."
Trump is a hateful and stupid man.

Unable to defend his decision to ease sanctions on Russian oil, Trump attacked the Ukrainian president.
In fact, Zelenskyy does want to "make a deal"; Putin refuses. Zelenskyy agrees to a ceasefire; Putin refuses. Zelenskyy agrees to a face-to-face meeting; Putin refuses.
In the Kup'yans'k direction, the rashists attacked twice towards Petropavlivka and Kurylivka in Kharkiv region.

Ukrainian defenders hit a warehouse containing air defence missiles of the russian fascist invaders, in Dovzhans’k in temporarily-occupied Luhansk region.
Israel has a lot to make up for in its lamentable history of pro-russian and anti-Ukrainian diplomacy.
Israel needs to join sanctions against the russian terrorist state, recognize the Holodomor as a genocide, and give Iron Dome to help shelter the skies of Ukraine.
Ukrainian defenders carried out an artillery fire mission on an ammunition warehouse of the russian fascist invaders at just the right moment: as the enemy was loading two trucks.

Because it relies more on human intelligence gathering, Ukraine’s insight into the Russia-Iran military alliance is better than that of the United States, which relies more on signals intelligence gathering.
After President Zelenskyy thanked Trump many times, JD Vance asked: “Have you ever said ‘thank you’ once?”
Now that Ukraine is helping the U.S. with drone defence, President Zelenskyy said today: “I would like someone to say ‘thank you’ for Ukraine's help in the Middle East.”
Because Ukraine is now helping the U.S. military, the Gulf States and Israel defend themselves from Russian-Iranian aerial attacks, the head of Iran’s National Security Commission, Ibrahim Azizi, threatened to attack Ukraine with missiles.
Last night, russian terrorists carried out a massive missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian civilians.
In Kyiv region, at least four people were killed and 15 more were injured.

Russia is invading Ukraine and waging war on what it calls the “collective West.”
It is providing military support to its ally, Iran.
Trump eased oil sanctions on the shadow fleet, boosting Russia’s war economy. This is an act of treason.

Canadian Prime Minister Carney:
"Canada's position is to maintain sanctions on Russia, including on the shadow fleet which is moving this oil.
There has been very tight cooperation between Russia and Iran at great cost to the people of Ukraine and a great threat to peace and security in Europe."
Ukrainian defenders successfully hit the Afipsky oil refinery in Krasnodar Krai on the territory of the russian fascist invaders. This video was shot from 35 km away.
