WorldUkraine drone commander says Crimea strikes could increase sevenfold with faster Western funding

Robert “Madyar” Brovdi, who leads Ukraine’s drone warfare, says recent strikes in Crimea represent only the opening phase of an open-ended campaign. In a rare interview, he describes the aim as making the peninsula unusable as a staging ground for Russian forces. Crimea was illegally annexed by Russia in 2014, according to the report. Brovdi says Ukrainian forces could hit seven times more military targets there if Western funding arrives more quickly.
