Russia: Energy infrastructures targeted by Ukrainian drones • The Observers - France 24
Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian energy infrastructures have been increasing since early January. Our investigations reveal that at least eight sites have caught on fire after drone attacks.
Ukraine is likely carrying out their attacks to weaken the Russian economy – and to show off its military power, says analyst and energy expert Benjamin Schmitt.
"Much like the nuclear arms race of the last century, the AI arms race will define this current one. Whoever wins will possess a profound military advantage," the Murdoch-owned newspaper concluded.
The fairer responses we have towards the Russian state, the harder it will be for Putin to continue his rule, and thus, the war – address by the President of Ukraine

Dear Ukrainians,
Rescue operations are still ongoing and assistance is being provided in Odessa following the Russian missile strike. It's a despicable act of cowardice: two missiles, with the second one hitting when rescuers and doctors arrived at the scene. Among the casualties and injured are emergency paramedics and rescuers from the State Emergency Service. My condolences go out to all their families and loved ones.
Dozens are wounded, and the search for people under the rubble continues. All necessary services are engaged in this effort. I am grateful to everyone who is supporting the people now and saving lives, including the police, the State Emergency Service, medics, volunteers, and municipal services. I have instructed the regional authorities to fully support all those affected. Our Defense Forces will do everything to make Russian killers feel our just response.
- We discussed the provision of ammunition, and frontline air defense. The Commander-in-Chief assessed the overall situation and actions of commanders on the front lines. I am thankful to all senior officers who, along with soldiers and combat units, truly care for the front lines.
- Today, we coordinated further active steps with the Commander-in-Chief.
- We also discussed the production and use of our strike drones and long-range drones, Russian logistics, and their war financing system.
I chaired a meeting regarding our international work. We discussed the outcomes, communication with partners in the first half of March, and upcoming negotiations planned for the next few weeks.
Glory to Ukraine!

Drone Swarms Are About to Change the Balance of Military Power - WSJ
Drone swarms en route to alter global balance of military power via AI
The WSJ piece further sheds light on the potential impact of drones, particularly when used in swarms controlled by artificial intelligence (AI), on the future of warfare. While this scenario is not yet a reality, it is approaching rapidly. The concern is that if armies are not ready for this shift in military technology and it is deployed extensively, it could significantly alter the global balance of military power.
