The Kremlin is visibly panicking as Ukraine’s precision drone strikes overwhelm Moscow’s air-defence network. Russian insiders report evacuation plans are forming as fear spreads through Vladimir Putin’s inner circle. Kyiv Post Special Correspondent Jason Jay Smart joined Sergej Sumlenny, head of the European Resilience Initiative Center (ERIC), on the front lines in Donetsk, Kharkiv and Sumy. They met Ukrainian soldiers who confirm that drones are now giving Kyiv an undeniable strategic edge and fundamentally changing how wars are fought. This Kyiv Post report delivers exclusive, first-hand evidence that the Putin regime is in deep crisis. The failure to defend Moscow air-space against Ukrainian strategic strikes signals that the Russia-Ukraine war is moving toward a definitive turning point. Despite waves of Russian counter-attacks, they are unable to slow Ukraine’s offensive capability. The war is unwinnable for Russia. On the ground, Jason Smart and Sergej Sumlenny delivered FPV drones through United Unmanned Systems (UUS) to units near the critical battles of Dobropillia and Pokrovsk. They observed how this technology is not only saving lives but reshaping every battle, providing an advantage Russia cannot match. Drawing on that field work, Sergej Sumlenny offers clear analysis of state-of-the-art drone warfare systems that are now terrifying Russian commanders. ERIC has raised more than €3 million for these life-saving drones, with Jason’s own fundraising contributing over €350,000. The current Kremlin panic also echoes reporting Jason and Sergej gathered last year inside Russian territory near Kursk, where Ukrainian troops described growing fear and decline across Russian ranks. Those accounts now align with what the latest strikes reveal, confirming that the situation for Vladimir Putin is only getting worse.
