War in Ukraine escalates: drone attacks according to Trump-Selenskyj-Klat

On the night of March 1, 2025, Russia again attacked Ukraine, while the political tensions between the USA and Ukraine intensify. After a heated scandal between US President Donald Trump and the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj in the White House, the Russian army attacked several cities, including Charkiw and Odessa, with combat drones and rockets. One person was killed and several were injured, as the governor of Odessa, Oleh Kiper, reported. Shortly before midnight, air alarm was in the entire eastern Ukraine, including the capital Kyiv.

The visit of Selenskyj in Washington was characterized by a dramatic argument with Trump. The two heads of state came together in front of running cameras when Trump accused the Ukrainian President, not to show enough gratitude and asked Ukraine to compromise with Russia. Selenskyj vehemently defended himself: "There must be no compromises with a murderer in his own territory." Despite the tense situation, Selenskyj announced that he would not apologize to Trump after the incident, since he sees the United States as important allies and urgently needs their support. Trump, who also did not exclude a hiring of military aid for Ukraine, emphasized that Selenskyj must "be ready for peace" in order to receive further support. These developments were perceived by various European heads of state, such as the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, as alarming, which Selenskyj assured their solidarity while he was repeatedly thanks for the support.

Several explosions were reported in the Ukrainian city of Charkiw, and a hospital site was directly affected, which further tightens the already tense situation in Ukraine. In total there were at least eight strokes at night; An injured person was recorded by glass splinters. The latest attack could further endanger the already difficult defense of Ukraine against the Russian armed forces, since military support from the United States remains uncertain, as a report by the Washington Post shows.
