Wrap up
Jonathan notes that Ukrainian intelligence chief Budanov has likely been very busy coordinating these attacks. He expects a lot of fallout and is interested to see the full extent of the damage in the coming days. It was clearly a very active night for Ukrainian drone operators. Jonathan ends the video there as it is late and he needs to go to bed. He thanks viewers for watching and says he will speak to them tomorrow.
