Russia to escalate civilian attacks and information warfare – Madyar
Commander of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces (USF) Robert “Madyar” Brovdi warned that Russia will step up attacks on civilians, calling on Ukrainians to remain vigilant in the face of Russian psychological and information warfare, according to a statement he made on August 20.
Ukrainian commander Robert "Madyar" Brovdi has warned that Russia will intensify its attacks on civilians and information warfare in the ongoing conflict. Speaking on August 20, Brovdi called on Ukrainians to remain vigilant against Russian psychological and information warfare tactics. Ukrainian forces have been actively striking Russia's sources of funding, according to Brovdi.
In response, Russian forces have launched massive terror attacks against Ukrainian civilians. Brovdi stated, "We're on our toes at the front, bringing the pain back to the enemy in their swamp – even when we're silent." He urged civilians to maintain resilience and vigilance while avoiding emotional content and psychological warfare.
Madyar expressed his condolences, wishing Ukrainians strength and fortitude in the face of the "civilizational abyss" separating the two sides. The commander cautioned Ukrainians to prepare for unpredictable airstrikes and have a tested plan ready. On August 20, Russia launched a large-scale missile and drone attack on Ukraine, primarily targeting Kyiv.
The assault caused widespread damage and casualties, with 16 people killed and 38 injured in Kyiv's Solomianskyi, Sviatoshynskyi, and Darnytskyi districts, as well as one fatality and seven injuries in Kyiv Oblast. Officials declared August 21 a day of mourning in Kyiv.
