Crimea strikes could rise ‘seven-fold’ with ‘timely funding,’ Ukraine drone chief says

In a rare interview with The Associated Press, Robert “Madyar” Brovdi, the commander leading Ukraine’s drone war says his country’s recent strikes in Crimea are only the first phase of an open-ended campaign aimed at rendering the peninsula – illegally annexed by Russia in 2014 – unusable as a staging ground for Russian forces. Ukraine’s most prominent commanders in the new generation of soldiers also says that his forces could strike seven times more military targets in Crimea than they currently do if the money pledged by Western allies moved faster.
