KYIV (Reuters) -As winter looms and Russian forces adapt their tactics, Ukrainian troops need to double down on technological innovation and flood the front line with more drones to halt Moscow's territorial gains, a senior commander said.
Oleksandr Pivnenko, head of Ukraine's National Guard, said Russia continued to have the manpower advantage after nearly four years of war in Ukraine, but Kyiv and Moscow had parity in drones in key battlefield areas.
