Ukraine’s Defense Forces have struck more than 800,000 verified Russian targets using drones since the beginning of 2026, Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov said, UATV English reports.

“The Defense Forces are systematically weakening the enemy’s military potential — disrupting logistics and striking critically important targets deep behind enemy lines. Today, drones account for more than 90% of enemy losses.

Since the beginning of the year, unmanned systems units have struck more than 800,000 verified enemy targets. These include personnel, air defense systems, artillery, multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS), UAVs, ground robotic systems, vehicles, headquarters, ammunition depots, and electronic warfare assets,” the minister said.

According to Fedorov, approximately 167,000 Russian servicemen have been killed or seriously wounded during this period.

He added that May became the most successful month for Ukraine’s Defense Forces.

“During the month, they struck more than 181,000 targets and eliminated or seriously wounded 31,530 occupiers.

For every confirmed strike, servicemen receive e-Points, which can be exchanged through the Brave1 Market for drones, ground robotic systems, electronic warfare equipment, and components,” Fedorov added.
