Special Operation “Pavutyna”: How Ukrainian Drones Made the World Talk About a New Force – Kateryna Barysheva for Ukrainska Pravda

The article “How One Bold Strike on Russian Airfields on June 1 Changed the Game” on “Ukrainska Pravda” by Kateryna Barysheva, an expert from Sahaidachnyi Security Center, analyzes the “Pavutyna” large-scale operation of Ukrainian drones that struck four Russian airbases and hit 34% of Russia’s strategic cruise missile carriers.

The author examines how this operation changed the information landscape, highlighted the technological prowess and strategic thinking of Ukrainians, and influenced international rhetoric and Russia’s position.

The reactions of Ukrainian, Russian, and Western media are separately analyzed, as well as the significance of this event for Ukraine’s negotiating position.

“This is not just a successful operation – this is a moment when the world once again started talking about Ukraine, but not as a victim, but as an innovator who victoriously challenged the ‘second army in the world’ not by number, but by intellect and technology. This is a signal of an era of change,” notes Kateryna.
