Madyar warned of a possible intensification of Russian attacks and a new mobilization

Robert Brovdi, commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Unmanned Systems Forces, whose call sign is “Madyar,” warned Ukrainians about new challenges that may arise in the near future.

Among these, he cited a possible intensification of Russian missile strikes and attacks using “Shahed” drones, a new mobilization in Russia following the elections, as well as uncertainty on the part of international partners.

At the same time, Madyar noted that the war is having an increasingly noticeable impact on the daily lives of Russians, particularly due to fires and damage to facilities involved in weapons production.

According to his data, from August 1 to 15, units of the Unmanned Systems Forces struck approximately 5,000 Russian military personnel. The commander expects this figure to rise to 10,000 by the end of the month.

Also, as part of Operation “MoLoChKa,” according to Madyar, 22 vessels of the Russian Pacific Fleet had been struck as of mid-August, bringing the total to 228 since the start of the operation.

Losses incurred by the Russian marketplace Wildberries and its sellers due to strikes on warehouse infrastructure could reach nearly $12 billion. Ukrainian attacks have put all of the company’s large warehouses out of commission and disabled about one-third of its total warehouse capacity.

As a reminder, in Russia’s Tver Region, a drone damaged a Wildberries warehouse. The facility is located approximately 150 km from Moscow, and its area, according to preliminary data, was estimated at about 150,000 square meters.

Attacks on Wildberries could exacerbate Russia’s economic problems — The Wall Street Journal.
