The covert war’s significance lies not only in individual missions but also in its profound psychological and strategic impacts. These operations undermine the enemy’s intelligence capabilities, threaten key personnel, and project strength and resolve. The success of Ukraine’s special forces, such as Voronich’s unit, demonstrates Kiev’s growing expertise in clandestine warfare, which may prove crucial as the conflict continues.
Meanwhile, Moscow’s response indicates its intent to eliminate threats through targeted assassinations and sabotage, making the shadow war a persistent and escalating dimension of the Ukraine crisis.
