They are also countering Russian cyber-attacks by penetrating their systems and listening to their phone calls, while learning new ways to integrate technology into the modern battlefield.
Ukrainian drones, including those made from cardboard, are causing significant damage to Russian military targets, highlighting the effectiveness of cheap and AI-powered weapons in modern warfare.
Ukraine's naval drone offensive in the Black Sea is forcing Russia to hide its ships behind Crimea or in heavily protected ports, as they try to avoid collisions with Ukrainian naval drones and protect the Kerch Strait Bridge, according to a spokesperson for the Ukrainian Navy.
Ukraine's air force commander claims that over three dozen Russian attack drones were shot down, saving scarce anti-aircraft guided missiles for Russian airplanes and missiles, while a Russian court will consider the appeal of the arrest of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich next Tuesday, and it has been announced that the two naval vessels damaged in a Ukrainian missile attack on a Sevastopol shipyard will be restored.
