As Trump tries yet again to force Putin closer to some kind of peace negotiation, 1 strong bargaining chip is the power of Ukraine’s drone campaign. New research shows these drone attacks have had a far-reaching impact, forcing Russia to move its air defences, stoking fuel price rises and costing Moscow around US$700 million in just a few months. Zelensky’s calls for a ceasefire are now underpinned by this threat, something Putin would not have predicted at the beginning of the war.
