Former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko has warned that veterans of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) may begin using FPV drones in domestic conflicts if they are denied permits for conventional firearms. His comments come amid ongoing public debate in Ukraine about easing access to weapons following a recent terrorist shooting attack in Kyiv. Lutsenko stated, 'If a soldier who returns from the war does not get a permit for a pistol or a shotgun, he will take an FPV.' This highlights growing concerns about the potential for military-grade technology to spill over into civilian disputes as veterans reintegrate into society.
