While Trump Talks, Putin Acts
Donald Trump’s promise to “end the war in 24 hours” sounded bold but lacked specifics. His advisor Keith Kellogg’s clarification—“We didn’t say which day”—only raised more questions about what exactly he meant.
“Remember what he said about the potential return of Ukrainian territories. And he also promised to end the war in 24 hours. We didn’t say on which day. But dialogue between both sides is the key to this outcome.”
While the U.S. president discusses negotiations with the Kremlin, Russian missiles and drones continue to strike Ukrainian cities, proving that peace in Ukraine will not come easily.
On March 7, Russia launched another massive attack, deploying 261 airstrike assets. Ukrainian air defense forces managed to shoot down 100 Shahed drones and 34 missiles, but many still reached their targets. The main targets of the attacks were energy and gas infrastructure as well as residential areas.
Betting on Dialogue or Surrendering to the Aggressor?
Trump and his inner circle are pushing the idea of negotiations in which Ukraine must make concessions. Kellogg calls “dialogue with the dictator” the first step to peace, but history shows that such steps lead not to the end of the war, but to new aggressions.
“This may seem like a small thing, but it is important for leaders to talk,” Kellogg said. However, it is unlikely that anyone in Ukraine believes that a conversation with Putin will lead to real peace.
Massive Attack on March 7: Strikes Across the Country
On the night of March 7, Russia used various types of weapons:
- 67 missiles launched from land, air, and sea.
- 194 strike UAVs and decoy drones.
- The main targets were energy facilities, critical infrastructure, and residential buildings.
Here is a list of the main consequences of this attack:
| Region | Consequences of the attack |
|---|---|
| Odesa region | Strike on energy facilities, destroyed houses |
| Prykarpattia | Attack on infrastructure facilities |
| Ternopil region | Strike on an industrial facility, possible gas supply disruptions |
| Chernihiv region | Destroyed production facility |
| Poltava region | Two injured, including a child |
| Kharkiv | Iskander missile strike, 8 injured |
| Kyiv region | Nighttime alarm lasted 9 hours, fires caused by falling debris |
This is the reality of Trump’s “24-hour peace.” While he talks about negotiations, Ukrainians hear air raid sirens every night.
Energy War: The Kremlin’s New Strategy
Russia has once again focused on targeting Ukraine’s energy system. This is no longer just chaotic terrorism—it is a systematic destruction of critical infrastructure.
- Attack on Naftogaz facilities — gas production infrastructure damaged.
- Destruction at DTEK facilities — energy infrastructure in Odesa region hit for the fourth consecutive night.
- Mass outages in Ternopil — possible gas supply issues in several regions.
Why Trump’s Words Matter for Israel
At first glance, Trump seems like an issue only for Ukraine and the U.S. But the reality is more complex.
- Trump has already stated that the U.S. spends too much money on aid to Ukraine. If he continues this course, Ukrainian defense funding will be at risk.
- Without U.S. support, Ukraine will weaken, and Russia will grow stronger. This threatens not only Europe but also the Middle East.
- Russia has long been playing a role in the Middle East, supporting Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah. Israel cannot underestimate the consequences of Ukraine’s potential weakening.
That is why Israel cannot afford to see Ukraine as a distant problem. Ukraine is defending the world from Russia today, just as Israel defends the world from Hamas.

Israeli society cannot remain indifferent. While the U.S. negotiates deals, while Trump develops political plans, and while Russia launches attacks, Ukraine needs support.
NAnews – News of Israel continues to cover the events, showing the reality of the war, where there is no room for illusions.
Conclusions: 24 Hours That Stretched Into Years
- Trump talks, Putin attacks — this is a fact.
- Russia wages war not only with weapons but also by destroying infrastructure.
- Ukraine and Israel are allies not just in words. Supporting Kyiv means protecting Jerusalem’s interests.
- Betting on negotiations with terrorists leads nowhere. Peace is only possible through strength.
While Trump makes promises and some believe in “dialogues with the dictator,” Ukraine holds the line. And Israel must stand with it.
