The Wall Street Journal reports that Russia has put out a $20 million reward for information on the whereabouts of Robert "Magyar" Brovdi, commander of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces. According to the report, the offer is being circulated through post-Soviet criminal networks rather than official channels. Brovdi leads Ukraine's drone forces, a key component of its defence against Russia's invasion.

Why now: The reported bounty on a senior Ukrainian commander highlights Russia's willingness to target him and underscores his importance to Ukraine's drone warfare effort.
