KYIV (Reuters) - Ukraine will be able to conduct more drone attacks on Russian warships, a Ukrainian minister who has played a key role in building the country's drone industry told Reuters after a recent series of sea raids.

“There will be more drones, more attacks, and fewer Russian ships. That’s for sure,” Digital Transformation minister Mykhailo Fedorov said in an interview on Friday, answering a question about recent attacks near Crimea.
