Not ready for review

I have moved the article back to the development queue as it is not yet ready for a full and complete review.

The following paragraph contains multiple claims that need to be verified and properly attributed:

While the expenditures for the operation on the Ukrainian side have not been publicly quantified, it involved 117 quadcopter drones carrying relatively heavy loads, as well as relevant equipment, with each of the FPV drones controlled remotely by its own pilot, and all participants evacuated from the Russian Federation before start of the operation — the Russian drivers of the lorries were unaware of the contents and purpose of their luggage.

To illustrate the review process, a reviewer breaks down complex paragraphs like this into individual claims, then checks each one against the listed sources:

• While the expenditures for the operation on the Ukrainian side have not been publicly quantified,
• it involved 117 quadcopter drones
  • carrying relatively heavy loads,
• as well as relevant equipment,
• with each of the FPV drones controlled remotely by its own pilot, and
• all participants evacuated from the Russian Federation before start of the operation -
• the Russian drivers of the lorries were unaware of the contents and purpose of their luggage.

Statements like "117 quadcopter drones" should be attributed, especially in the context of war, where such figures may be influenced by propaganda. Phrases like "carrying relatively heavy loads" are analytical and should also be attributed to a qualified source.

The article is not fully neutral or balanced as written. It over-relies on Ukrainian sources without providing sufficient independent or Russian verification or context. Several vague or speculative statements require clearer attribution or removal.

I have removed some unsupported claims already—please see the edit history for details. The entire article should be re-checked to ensure that all statements are verifiable and properly attributed, in accordance with WN:NPOV (policy) and WN:Neutrality (essay). —Michael.C.Wright (^Talk/_Reviewer) 14:29, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

Review of revision 4862712 [Passed]

Revision 4862712 of this article has been reviewed by Gryllida (talk · contribs) and has passed its review at 04:46, 7 June 2025 (UTC). Copyright: Passed Newsworthiness: Passed Verifiability: Passed NPOV: Passed Style: Passed Comments by reviewer: I made a few minor copyedits and 117 claim needed to be attributed to Zelensky. Normally I'd ask someone to do this. But in light of time already being long past I just added it. I am hoping to not need to do a thing like this again. I am not sure why author didn't do it, does he/she read talk pages at all? Please when working with new users who haven't shown to be responsive to sneaky new talk page messages, TAG THEM and also LEAVE THEM A LINK AT THEIR OWN TALK PAGE and also EMAIL THEM asking to take action. I'm hoping these will be a software to do this. Echo fails to reach Wikiwide on at least three different occasions (I tried). I think it needs to have a hook to send messages to a personal social media account via DMs; this might pose security or privacy issues..... Sorry, but the software currently is very bad unless it's a desktop user who eyeballs the wiki constantly. I believe in the present form the article addresses the concerns expressed at the talk page previously. I changed headline to active voice. This was very easy! I suggest adding a map showing the affected targeted locations. Most people have no clue where these locations are. Further edits may be proposed within up to 24 hours. Thanks. The reviewed revision should automatically have been edited by removing {{Review}} and adding {{Publish}} at the bottom, and the edit sighted; if this did not happen, it may be done manually by a reviewer.

Two updates

There was a message at the talk page by Michael; then by me. How do you receive them, @Wikiwide? How do you read? Do you get them "timely" at all? If not, how could this be improved? Please let me know! Thank you! Gryllida 04:48, 7 June 2025 (UTC)
