   Operators from Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces (UUSF) tasked with detecting and intercepting Russian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) reported via the WU Samurai Telegram channel that they had discovered a weakness in the way Russian Molniya drones operated. This allowed them to direct attacks against the enemy operators of the drones on the ground at the same time as they were destroying the UAVs.

   The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) reported that the device, disguised as a fire extinguisher, was taken from a hidden cache based on coordinates provided by Russian handlers from the GRU.
   
   According to SBU, one of the suspects, a 22-year-old woman from Kyiv, was recruited via Telegram looking for “easy money” and initially tasked with distributing Russian propaganda leaflets in the Ukrainian capital.

   Key Takeaways from the ISW:
   
   -Russian officials are continuing to exploit the temporary energy infrastructure ceasefire’s vague or unfinalized terms.
   -US officials reportedly continue to acknowledge Russian President Vladimir Putin’s unwillingness to commit to a general ceasefire in Ukraine.
   -CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) Kirill Dmitriev will reportedly meet with US Special Envoy for the Middle East Steve Witkoff in Washington, D.C. on April 2.
   -The Russian military command reportedly began reorganizing the motorized rifle brigades of the 51st and 3rd combined arms armies (CAAs) such that each army would have three rifle divisions or motorized rifle divisions, likely in an effort to improve the CAAs’ administrative structure, especially over larger numbers of unmechanized riflemen.
   -The Ukrainian General Staff reported on April 1 that Russian forces in Ukraine are continuing to use ammunition equipped with chemical agents prohibited under the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC).
   -Ukrainian forces recently advanced near Pokrovsk, and Russian forces recently advanced near Toretsk, Pokrovsk, and Velyka Novosilka.
   -Russian authorities continued efforts to solidify their control over the Russian information space and discourage critique of the Russian military’s conduct of the war in Ukraine.

   'Het is een val'
   
   Trumps Amerikaanse mineralendeal bedreigt Oekraïnes kans op EU-lidmaatschap
   
   De laatste versie van de mineralendeal tussen de VS en Oekraïne zou niet alleen een bedreiging kunnen vormen voor de soevereine controle over natuurlijke hulpbronnen en infrastructuur, maar ook voor de ambities van Kyiv om in de toekomst toe te treden tot de EU.
   
   Oekraïne bevestigde op 1 april dat het dagen eerder een nieuw voorstel van Trumps regering had ontvangen en dat de twee partijen "consultaties waren begonnen".
   
   Een van de opvallende kwesties is dat de eisen van Washington in conflict zijn met een cruciaal grondstoffenpartnerschap dat in 2021 tussen Brussel en Kyiv is ondertekend.
   
   Het enorm belangrijke belangenconflict dat aan de horizon opdoemt, heeft velen in Kyiv geschokt.
   
   "Het is een val. Punt uit",
   vertelde econoom, politicus en voormalig premier Arseniy Yatsenyuk aan de Kyiv Independent.
   
   Als Oekraïne de deal tekent, riskeert Kyiv een terugslag van Brussel en kan de geloofwaardigheid van Oekraïne "verzwakken" en "vragen oproepen over zijn strategische afstemmingen".

   A Tu-22M3 missile bomber of the army of the aggressor country russia crashed in the Irkutsk Oblast of the russian federation on the evening of Wednesday, April 2.
   
   The russian propaganda agency TASS reported this with reference to the russian Ministry of Defense.
   
   "The Tu-22M3 plane crashed in the Irkutsk Oblast. The crew ejected, the pilot died," the message says.
   
   The bomber crashed in a deserted area. According to preliminary information, the cause of the disaster was a technical malfunction.
   
   A search and rescue team arrived at the site of the Tu-22M3 crash and is evacuating the surviving crew members of the plane.
   
   The Governor of the Irkutsk Oblast, Igor Kobzev, reported that the Tu-22M3 bomber crashed near the settlement of Buret of the Usolskiy District.
   
   According to him, the crew of four ejected, but one pilot died during the landing.
   
   Kobzev added that there were no damages or casualties among civilians as a result of the Tu-22M3 crash.
   
   The russian Telegram channel SHOT writes that during the crash, the bomber damaged power lines. Because of this, one of the districts of the Irkutsk Oblast was allegedly left without electricity. This is probably the Usolskiy District.
   
   Videos shot by eyewitnesses of the plane crash appeared on the network. In them, you can see how local residents find multiple wreckage of the bomber.
   
   As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on March 24 it became known that the Ukrainian Defense Forces struck a rear air base of the russian army in the Belgorod Oblast. We managed to destroy four Ka-52 and Mi-8 helicopters.

   Conscription
   
   Russia holds two annual conscription cycles in the spring and autumn, with men aged 18-30 eligible for service. This spring’s conscription campaign will run from April 1 to July 15.
   
   Monday’s decree signed by President Vladimir Putin outlined plans to draft 160,000 men this spring, an increase from 150,000 in 2024 and 134,500 in 2022, the year Russia launched its full-scale offensive against Ukraine.
   
   The age cap was also raised from 27 in 2023, expanding the pool of eligible draftees.

   More than 8,000 ex-convicts serving in Ukrainian army
   More than 8,000 ex-convicts are currently serving in the Ukrainian army, the country's ministry of justice reports.
   The ministry states that as of April, more than 8,000 volunteers, who had previously served prison sentences, had joined Ukrainian troops on the battlefield.
   This became possible after a law adopted in May 2024 allowed for the early release of former convicts.
   The first groups of volunteers joined combat units in August last year.
   There are also 900 additional applications for parole to serve in the Ukrainian army.
   
   What do we know about soldier recruitment?
   The figure comes amid a drive by both Ukraine and Russia to recruit more soldiers.
   In February, Ukraine's defence ministry launched a recruitment drive for young people, encouraging 18 to 24-year-olds to serve in the military for a year.
   This is because Ukraine's armed forces are heavily outnumbered by their Russian adversaries on the frontlines.
   And last year, under pressure to bring more soldiers into the military, Ukraine's parliament approved a new law on mobilisation, reducing the draft age from 27 to 25.
   Elsewhere, Vladimir Putin yesterday ordered a further 160,000 Russian men between the ages of 18 and 30 to be called up, with the new order to be completed by 15 July.

   Donald Trump has not included Russia on its expansive list of countries that will face major new tariffs starting today as Vladimir Putin’s top negotiator held meetings in Washington.
   
   At the same time, war-hit Ukraine is facing 10 per cent tariffs from the US administration.
   
   The White House has not explained why Russia will not face tariffs.
   
   Mr Putin's investment envoy and one of the most US-savvy members of Russia's elite, Kirill Dmitriev, met with US officials in Washington yesterday. The highest-ranking Russian official to visit the US since the invasion in February 2022, he is visiting on invitation from Mr Trump’s Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff.
   
   His visit comes at a time when the Trump administration continues to press Russia and Ukraine to agree to a ceasefire. As he unveiled his tariffs on Wednesday, Mr Trump hailed “good cooperation” between Russia and Ukraine while underlining his desire to stop the war.

    Ukraine and Russia continue accusing each other of violating an agreement to halt attacks on energy facilities. There are no signs of a ceasefire in sight.
    
    Russia's defense ministry announced on Wednesday that Ukrainian forces staged two attacks on Russian energy infrastructure earlier this month.
    
    The ministry said that the first strike using an unmanned aerial vehicle hit a substation in the western Russian region of Kursk, causing blackouts.
    
    Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters that Ukraine continues to attack Russian energy facilities on a daily basis.
    
    He said Moscow will patiently explain "Ukraine's unwillingness to do something for peace" to Washington.
    
    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on social media on Wednesday that Russia had struck an energy facility in Sumy in northeastern Ukraine. He said Putin does not even want to ensure a partial ceasefire.

    Duitsland gaat zeker niet meewerken aan het weer in bedrijf stellen van de Nord Stream leidingen, zelfs niet als er een volledige vrede komt tussen Rusland en Oekraïne.

    Ik hoop dat het onzin is, maar waar rook is….
    Natuurlijk wordt een populistisch kabinet dan de schuldige, maar ben wel benieuwd hoe deze hazen gaan lopen. Ik blijf naast de grondstoffen soap, ook de gas soap volgen.
    De olie soap vond ik een hele slechte.
    Ik kan er namelijk alleen van genieten als Rusland de grote verliezer is in de soap.
    
    www.politico.eu/article/russia-united...
    
    Last month, the Financial Times reported that Moscow had enlisted a close friend of Russian President Vladimir Putin to restart gas supplies to Europe via Nord Stream with the backing of American investors.
    So far, Germany has pushed back against reviving the pipeline. “Talking about the potential of Nord Stream 2 … is completely the wrong direction of discussion,” the country’s outgoing Economy Minister Robert Habeck told reporters in Brussels last week.
    But there are increasing signs Berlin’s next government may take a different stance. Key center-right party officials involved in coalition talks last week told POLITICO the country could return to Russia for gas once peace is secured in Ukraine.
