Azov's Quiet Comeback: drones and logistics strikes reshape Ukraine’s southern front

Four years after Ukraine’s Azov Regiment surrendered Mariupol to Russian forces, the rebuilt Azov Corps is reasserting itself in its home city, using drone strikes to disrupt Russian logistics and critical port infrastructure, with plans for more operations to showcase its capabilities and pressure Moscow. Analysts say the campaign is incremental but aims to degrade Russia’s offensive tempo and pave the way for broader moves, including potential prisoner exchanges and renewed action from Ukraine’s middle-strike effort.
