He says these threats come as Ukraine strengthens its drone warfare capabilities and expands its ability to strike deeper inside Russia. He also notes a change in US posture, saying Secretary of State Marco Rubio has “washed his hands of the Russia-Ukraine war,” reducing direct American pressure on Moscow.
