Ukraine>>>'s drone forces, led by commander Robert Brovdi>>>, are executing a strategic campaign to cut off Russia — Crimea>>> from Russia>>>.

Traffic on the critical Novorossiysk highway>>>, a key Russian military supply route, has been reduced by over two-thirds.

The campaign has also targeted Russia>>>'s air defense systems, oil facilities, and arms manufacturing, inflicting substantial losses on Russian military personnel and equipment.
