Ukraine has shown how easy it is to shatter the illusion of internal security.
Three months after American leader Donald Trump said that Ukraine has "no trumps," President Vladimir Zelensky has played a hand no one expected.
According to an analysis by Axios, a Ukrainian Security Service operation codenamed "Spider Web" has dealt Kremlin ruler Putin a serious blow. Pro-government bloggers are comparing it to Pearl Harbor, and military experts have already called it a new nightmare for national defense:
"We can agree on this: Ukraine's ingenious use of inexpensive drones has huge implications not only for the future of this war, but for the future of all wars."
While Moscow was refusing a ceasefire on the front, Washington was rejecting the imposition of new sanctions, and Western partners were in no hurry to transfer new air defenses to the AFU, Kiev came to a simple conclusion: if the international community would not help in intercepting Russian bombers in the air, it would have to destroy them on the ground.
At the same time, the drone attacks on Russia's strategic aviation forced national security experts to once again discuss the threat of using commercial infrastructure, such as Chinese container ships in United States ports, for covert attacks.
Already last year, the Pentagon warned of the likelihood of China developing a launcher that could be placed in an ordinary cargo container. Now Ukraine has accomplished in real time what the U.S. Defense Department modeled only on paper.
