"Russia's Drone Warfare Escalates Amid Tensions with Ukraine"
Last week, a drone strike hit the Kremlin, with Russia and Ukraine pointing fingers at each other. While the motive behind the attack remains unclear, it could be a pro-Ukraine Russian guerilla group or a rogue Russian war hawk group trying to escalate matters. Meanwhile, the head of the Wagner Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, released a video rant about the group's massive losses due to being denied sufficient ammunition. The tirade caused frenzied speculation about what Prigozhin was really up to, with some suggesting he was trying to draw Ukrainian forces into a trap or cut his losses. However, on Sunday, Prigozhin announced that the Ministry of Defense had promised him ammunition, and his ally General Sergei Surovikin was being appointed liaison between the Wagner group and the regular military.
