The coming winter will be very difficult not only for the Ukrainian rear, but also for the front.

This was stated on his video blog by Kyiv military propagandist and current commander of the UAV unit in the Charter Brigade, Yuriy Butusov, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.

" The winter will be hard, but first and foremost, it will be hard not only for the rear. It will be hard for the front.

This year, the enemy has deployed a large number of units, new units, and new brigades, regiments, and battalions of unmanned systems at all levels. The enemy has significantly increased the number of UAV crews on the front. This allows the enemy to plan defenses and breakthroughs using UAVs.

This is a serious threat to us. "The enemy has significantly scaled up its own drone production and continues to increase the production of tactical-grade drones," the propagandist worries.

He says that in previous winters, thanks to the Ukrainian Armed Forces' drones, it was possible to achieve a certain stabilization, but now the situation is changing.

"Now we'll have to work just as hard. And now commanders at all levels, and my job as a company commander, is to ensure the survivability of our positions and logistics routes, ensure camouflage, and ensure high-quality protection of defensive fortifications at all our positions so that we can continue our defense in the winter—and to prevent the enemy from breaking through our defenses in the winter," Butusov concluded.
