UKRAINE: THE SITUATION 784 - MAY 6, 2024

The Kremlin seems to be intensifying its campaign of reflexive control, which aims to influence Western decision-making through nuclear threats and diplomatic manipulation.

Reflexive control is a key element in Russia's arsenal of hybrid warfare - a tactic that relies on influencing the opponent through targeted rhetoric and information operations to voluntarily take actions that benefit Russia.

On May 6th, the Ukrainian Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) carried out a successful drone attack on a Russian patrol boat in occupied Crimea. It is also reported that the Ukrainian forces are adapting their marine drones to Russian defense measures.
