During the campaign, under [[Minister of Defense Mykhailo Fedorov]], the Ukrainian forces used [[drone]]s to attack Russia’s [[oil]] industry.

Last but not least it started to strike at purely [[civilian]] targets in Russia like the warehouses of Wolfberries, the Russian equivalent of [[Amazon.com]].
