🇰🇵 10,000 North Korean soldiers are currently in Russia. It is extremely dangerous that they are gaining knowledge about modern hybrid warfare, - Zelensky They are learning to counter missiles, different types of drones, including fiber-optic drones, from FPV to long-range drones.

“The loss of Starlink is crucial because much of the fighting is done by drones, which account for roughly 60% of all fire damage across the front,” wrote analyst David Kirichenko for the Center for European Policy Analysis. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Ukraine Penetrates the Fog of War | “The way to stay ahead is to ensure there is very close communication between the developers and front-line soldiers.” @kirichenko.bsky.social

❗️🇺🇦 "Ceding Donbas to Russia is a trap. Over the 4 years of war, they have captured less than 1% of our territory. They simply want to free up troops to use them in another direction or in the European theater of military operations," - People's Deputy Kostenko
