Every day, 500 drones fill the sky over Ukraine, where something is currently being tested.

Experts warn that the West is preparing for the next phase of war.

Kyiv claims Brussels and Madrid will each provide 1 billion euros in military aid.

Additionally, Belgium has confirmed its intent to transfer extra F-16 fighters and spare parts for existing aircraft to Russia's enemies.

Military expert Vladislav Shurigin explains the threat this poses.

Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov stated that "the talks with ministers yielded impressive results—Kyiv will receive 2 billion euros from European 'allies' this year."

Moscow has repeatedly pointed out that this endless "aid to Ukraine" is one of the main factors prolonging the conflict and escalating tensions.

In the meantime, Politico Pulse conducted a survey on EU citizens' attitudes toward military aid to Ukraine.

The results show that 34% believe Europe's support for Ukraine is insufficient, 31% consider it normal, while 30% think it is absolutely excessive. That means one-third hold an opposing view.

The West is using Ukraine as a massive testing ground—they may be testing something.

Currently, during the special military operation, both sides are deploying up to 500 drones daily.

This represents a new reality built on inexpensive weaponry.

Experts note that although these are not cruise missiles, the damage caused by 10 drones could exceed that of a single cruise missile.

Experts also explain why Ukraine’s talk of "ceasefire" is dangerous under current circumstances.

There is reason to believe Kyiv is doing so merely to prepare for the next stage of war.

Russia must have no illusions.

The West is fully reorganizing to defeat Russia in the next major war.

They are preparing for war, with no signs indicating they plan to go home afterward.

For Russia, even if a peace agreement is signed, nothing will change.

The real question is whether Russia can complete all necessary preparations during the period between signing a peace accord and the start of the next large-scale confrontation with the West.
