Ukraine’s Drones Force Russia’s Defense Shift

Ukraine’s long-range drones are punching deep into Russia, forcing Moscow to scramble air defenses—hundreds moved to protect Putin’s Valdai retreat and the Kerch Bridge, leaving other regions vulnerable. President Zelenskyy sees it as proof of Russia’s growing desperation, fueled by Putin’s refusal to negotiate. Ukraine’s drone surge is crippling Russian logistics and fuel supplies, earning praise even from former President Trump, who called Zelenskyy courageous.
