Yevhen Karas leads Ukrainian drone unit in long-range strikes against Russian logistics and infrastructure

Yevhen Karas, commander of the 413th Raid Unmanned Systems Regiment, led a series of long-range drone strikes that targeted Russian infrastructure and logistics. A massive retail logistics center owned by Wildberries, Russia's largest online retailer, remained in flames after an overnight attack by waves of Ukrainian drones. The strikes have brought the war directly to the Russian public, forcing Russian commanders to stretch air defenses over broader areas and causing airport delays and fuel shortages. Karas stated that the goal of these operations is to punish the Kremlin to achieve a stable peace. He noted that the bigger casualties the Russian side suffers, the sooner they will move toward a negotiations. The 413th Raid Unmanned Systems Regiment, which Karas commands, utilizes domestically produced FP-1 drones to hit targets deep inside Russian territory. These attacks have also impacted the economy, specifically targeting Wildberries, which serves as a major choke point for Russian society and the economy. The administration of the Ukrainian military aims to pressure Vladimir Putin into a peace settlement by making the Russian public feel the consequences of the war.
