Trump effect: Russia’s escalation in Ukraine

A little over a month has passed since Donald Trump took office – and this was already well evident in the war in Ukraine. Trump, who changed end to end the US’s attitude to Russia and Putin, gives a back to Russia with severe escalation in attacks against Ukraine. Alongside the pressure he exerts to end the war, he also directly and indirectly encourages Russia to break serious records in the war.February is still not over, but it has already become the month when Russia has risen the most as a suicide, Iranian-sample “that” the Ukrainian cities and critical energy infrastructure of the state. Sabras, more than 20% of all the UAVs that Russia routine toward Ukraine until the early 2025.

Ukrainian Air Force data collected by the CSIS Research Institute show that from September 28, 2022, when Russia began using UAVs smuggled from Iran, and until December 28, 2024, Russia routinely routine 14,700 as UAVs. Now, an exceptional increase and escalation is evident.

In a direct and completely distinct contact, the month in which Russia has risen as UAVs at Ukraine is his return to Trump’s White House, which seems to be almost completely operating in Putin’s service to the end of the favorable and good conditions to Russia, and the bad ones for Ukraine. Russia routine 267 as UAVs at Ukraine – which managed to intercept 138 and to drop by electronic means another 119.

Every day, our people stand against aerial terror. On the eve of the third anniversary of the full-scale war, Russia launched 267 attack drones against Ukraine — the largest attack since Iranian drones began striking Ukrainian cities and villages. In total, nearly 1,150 attack… pic.twitter.com/YvCNuZorvX

In the past week, in the background of Trump’s blow with Zalansky and since then, the first and exceptional meeting of Russian and US senior executives in Riyadh, Russia even increased the attacks on Ukraine, with more than 150 as UAVs almost night. Tonight (between Tuesday and Wednesday) for the example, Russia routine 177 as UAVs at Ukraine, of which 110 were yellowed and another 66 by electronic means.

Naturally, there is no conclusive evidence of the claim that Trump’s rhetoric against Ukraine and Russia contributes to the implementation of the attacks in Ukraine, but it corresponds in a fairly close relationship. To this can be added several other reasons to the escalation of Russia, such as the desire to increase the pressure on Ukraine citizens for the end of the war, inventory and greater availability of the USSR and perhaps a desire to cover the shuffle on the battlefield.

Throughout the past month, except for one night, there was no night when Ukraine’s citizens, or many, did not wake up to the sounds of an alarm that lasted long hours following Russia’s UAV attacks and missiles. Of Iran, in the past year, Russia has enjoyed thousands of UAVs from the same original Iranian model – in the special factory established in collaboration Russia and Iran Bilibug in Tetrasten District, in the depths of Russia.

Despite the severe escalation of Russia’s UAVs for Ukraine in the past month, the Ukrainian air defense forces are able to maintain a very high level of interception. Overall, Ukraine’s interceptions and abortion rates in February 2025 reaches about 95%, with more than 3,300 as UAVs that will be discriminated against, only this month.

Subsequently, another possible reason for Russia in escalating is the desire to quickly erode the full Ammo Ammunition. Long breath. This distress may also help Ukraine support the end of the war.

Tens of the UAVs that Russia routine towards Ukraine over the past few weeks are the Demon, who are not armed at a large explosive. This move is made possible by the UAV production line that is on Russian soil, and is first and foremost produced to produce Ukraine’s air defense systems and increase the erosion in ammunition and in the state of air defense fighters.

Ukraine military intelligence officials today told Economist magazine that a few months ago Russia produced 40-30 as UAVs a day-and now produces 150 as UAVs every day, and prepares to increase daily output to 500. In addition, the UAV explosive, which was previously weighing 30kg, was currently converted to a 90kg explosive head.

Ukraine and USA have reached agreements

The large media outlets in the US reported last night that Ukraine and the United States were able to reach agreements on the rare minerals and quarry agreement between them, the one who managed to inspire Trump’s anger on Zalansky. Trump has confirmed that Zelansky will arrive on Friday to Washington, and it seems that the two are expected to sign the agreement at their meeting in the White House, as Zalansky demanded.

The US is reported to enjoy an extensive approach to a long line of natural resources in Ukraine. Ukraine’s delight, the US has agreed to remove the requirement that Ukraine will be obliged to transfer a sum of half a trillion to a joint fund from its natural resources revenue. Alongside this, and contrary to Ukraine’s principle requirement, no clause has been introduced in the agreement that guarantees the US security guarantees. However, US officials in the US estimated that the fact that the United States and Ukraine are connected to each other in such a large economic contract – constitutes a de facto security guarantee.

According to some reports, the signing of the mineral agreement between Ukraine and the United States may be the first step on the way to an overall and broader deal to end the war in Ukraine, but such a proclamation is not yet expected in the coming weeks. Those who also polish his own mineral agreement is Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has also begun to raise the possibility Economic dependence in Russia, to prevent severe struggles with future governments.
