Today in Russia-Europe Tensions

Ukraine is escalating defensive measures against intensifying Russian drone attacks, installing protective netting on Kyiv's Pivnichnyi Bridge following recent strikes on the capital's critical infrastructure. This development reflects a broader pattern of unmanned aerial vehicle warfare targeting transport and civilian facilities, which disrupts supply chains and creates sustained demand for air-defense and counter-drone technologies. The protective infrastructure installation signals that Ukrainian authorities expect drone strikes to remain a persistent threat to key transportation routes and urban centers.
