Russia arming drones with propaganda, cyber threats, Ukraine's drone commander warns

Ukrainian forces have intercepted Russian drones equipped with propaganda materials aimed at Kyiv, according to Commander Robert Brovdi. These drones not only carry explosives but also psychological manipulation tactics. One drone was found with inflammatory leaflets and a cyber-phishing trap linked to QR codes. Brovdi cautioned the public against scanning these codes, warning they could lead to data theft or malware. The situation follows civil unrest in Kyiv, which officials suggest may have external influences. Ukrainian authorities have arrested individuals for spreading disinformation related to the unrest, highlighting ongoing tensions exacerbated by misinformation campaigns.
