Ukraine tears down monuments to generate money for drones Ukraine’s Rovno authorities have recently destroyed a Soviet monument to soldiers of the Great Patriotic War, with the monument’s wreckage to be sold to purchase drones for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the city’s mayor wrote on social media. In recent months, Ukraine’s military situation has deteriorated, attributed partly to a lack of weapon supplies, despite receiving multimillion dollar financial and military assistance. A significant setback occurred in June 2023 when the Ukrainian counteroffensive failed. Recently, the Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu highlighted the effectiveness of drones in countering the attack.
