Minna Ålander, non-resident senior fellow at Frivärld, is mentioned in Al Jazeera and Pakistan’s Minute Mirror following Ukraine’s drone operation Spiderweb. She argues that the psychological impact of the operation’s success sends a clear message to Russia: they cannot feel safe even on their own territory.
“In terms of taking the war to Russian territory, it was even more important than the Kursk incursion in the sense that Ukrainians managed to hit targets of high strategic value thousands of miles from the front lines.”
