An elderly woman was riding her bicycle along a road in Ukraine’s Sumy region when she noticed two military robots. One was damaged. The other was trying to pull it out of danger.
Realizing they were Ukrainian, she stopped and went to help.
The damaged ground robot of Ukraine’s 71st Airmobile Brigade had hit a Russian mine. Operators sent another unmanned vehicle to recover it, but remotely connecting the two for towing proved difficult.
So the woman simply stepped in.
She guided the recovery robot into position, helped it hook up the damaged machine — and the job was done.
Then she returned to her bicycle and continued on her way as if nothing extraordinary had happened.
We don’t know her name. We don’t know where she was going or who was waiting for her at home.
But there is something profoundly Ukrainian in these images: she saw that our soldiers needed help, helped them — and rode on.
A grandmother, a bicycle, two military robots and a war.
Ukraine. 🇺🇦💙💛
🚨 BREAKING: Ukraine carried out a massive operation to bring food to starving people in occupied Oleshky.
4,000 kg of food.
100 locations.
Delivered by Ukrainian drones.
I can’t read this without tears.
People in my country were dying from hunger, trapped under occupation - and our defenders found a way to reach them from the sky.
Today, Ukrainian drones carried life🥹
People in temporarily occupied Oleshky are starving. There is almost nothing left to eat. Reports indicate that civilians are being forced to survive on grass and weeds, while medicines, clean water, electricity, and medical care are increasingly out of reach. Children are trapped in these conditions too.
This suffering has a clear cause and a clear perpetrator. Russia has brought this catastrophe to Oleshky through its illegal occupation and bears full responsibility for this humanitarian disaster, all of its consequences, and the innocent civilian lives lost as a result.
The international community must mobilize every available instrument to reach people in Oleshky, deliver humanitarian assistance, and ensure the safe evacuation of those who want to leave. The @UN, the @ICRC, and other international actors must use their mandates and channels to secure immediate and unhindered humanitarian access.
I appreciate @CommissionerHR Michael O’Flaherty for drawing international attention to the situation in Oleshky. Now this attention must be followed by action. People there cannot survive on statements of concern. Humanitarian access and safe evacuation must become a reality, because every day matters.
@praying_medic1 WTF? So much crime in such a short video. No excuse for causing the death of another. ✋🏻 Guy needs to go to jail and get beat for something so stupid.
I get it's for training but I've literally seen deployment bags looking like junk drawers. Organize your shit! You open this in CUF your going to have stuff flying everywhere.
