The Kyiv Independent’s Francis Farrell sits down with Kyrylo Veres, commander of the K-2 regiment, a Ukrainian unit of the Unmanned Systems Forces that has evolved from an infantry battalion into a drone-led, multi-role force on the front line. They discuss Ukraine’s manpower shortage, the growing role of drones, including how drone evacuations have become vital for saving lives and sustaining morale. They also examine why locally produced weapons and innovations are not enough for Ukraine to secure victory, with international support remaining critical in holding the line against Russia.
