Yesterday I met Yura, a 12-year-old ๐บ๐ฆ boy who lost his father on the front lines. He's absolutely obsessed with drones and often comes to the testing field to meet all the pilots testing new drones and rockets.
Thankfully, he and his friend were there when I crashed. The drone lost radio connection, and without these kids Iโd never have found it. Their reward? 1,000 hryvnias and a "WE DON'T MAKE DRONES" FRONT LINE KIT chevron โ which I think is fair after they saved us 33,000!
I really want to get Yura a laptop and drone controller so he can learn to fly drones on a simulator. You never know - this kid could one day become a future pilot too ๐ซก
When I asked if there was anything more he wanted than to learn to fly drones, he replied, โTo have my dad back.โ ๐ช

Some nice morning videos of last night's drone sanctions for your feed.
In addition to an oil depot in Moscow oblast, logistics centers in Tambov and Moscow were also sanctioned, with Tambov being hit hard by Russian air defence.
I guess we know what airdefence doing.๐ฅ
On this day in 2014, a Russian Buk shot down a passenger aircraft MH17 flying at 10 km from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur over Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine.
All 283 passengers and 15 crew were killed.
Occupied Crimea is one step away from a humanitarian disaster
Crimea's Russian-installed leader, Sergey Aksyonov, has some "good news" for residents. He says there will be no guarantee that petrol will be available at filling stations every day.
The electricity situation isn't any better.
"It is currently impossible to create a schedule that would distribute electricity evenly across the Republic of Crimea," the official explains.
Ration cards for food in 3... 2... 1...
today marks 12 years since russia downed flight MH17, murdering 298 passengers and crew, including 80 children and 196 fellow countrymen. the same russia that keeps killing Ukrainian civilians today. never forgive, never forget. russia delenda est. #MH17
I have no words.
A russian FPV drone killed a civilian outside his own home.
Look. Don't look away.
This is russian terror. This is everyday reality in Ukraine.
Mykolaivka, Donetsk region.
It's noon in Ukraine.
In just 12 hours, russia has killed at least 8 civilians:
๐ 3 in Odesa
๐ 3 in Sumy
๐ 1 in Donetsk region
๐ 1 in Chernihiv region
People are being killed where they should be safe โ on streets and in their homes.
Do not let the world look away.
Shocking footage: Russians drop a 3-ton bomb (KAB/FAB) on Orikhiv in the Zaporizhzhia sector.
If Europe were governed by real leaders rather than bureaucrats afraid of their own shadows, the skies over Ukraine would be closed, and these Russian attacks would not be possible.
New footage from the destroyed city of Bakhmutโonce a significant Ukrainian city in the Donetsk region. Putinโs "liberators" captured it three years ago, in the summer of 2023. Since then, the city has lain in ruins...
This war, unleashed by a regime of a Stalinist, Soviet-style mold, will go down in history as one of the most insane and senseless wars ever started on Earth.

Good morning from The Hague ๐ณ๐ฑ
While Europe tries to cripple putinโs war economy with sanction after sanction, Dutch brand Spar keeps opening new supermarkets in russia.
Hundreds of stores. New openings in moscow this year. Sanctioned goods on the shelves.
@SPARInt claims they โcanโtโ terminate the old licensing contracts. Experts strongly disagree.
โจEnding the licences would:โจโข Stop brand misuse & normalising aggressionโจโข Align with Dutch government policy (โunacceptable to do business in russiaโ)โจโข Be fully possible under current EU law that better protects companies against russian claims
@ThijsReuten - time to push harder on this.โผ๏ธ
Dutch brands should not profit from this war.
This must stop. Pls share.
Have a great day everyone.
Keep supporting Ukraine ๐บ๐ฆ
Meet russia's torturer in a white coat: Vyacheslav Mykolaiovych Cherdantsev.
He didn't heal. He tortured.
A 48-year-old prison "doctor" at Penal Colony No. 7 in Pakino, he humiliated and abused Ukrainian POWs under the guise of medical examinations.
He drew penises on prisoners' faces with green antiseptic, forced naked men to hug, dance, and simulate sex during so-called medical examinations. He denied treatment for scabies, infected wounds, and broken bones. He beat them, humiliated them, and threatened them with rape.
Dozens of Ukrainian survivors who endured this hell independently identified him. Many were left psychologically shattered. One 23-year-old Ukrainian Marine died by suicide after enduring the abuse.
This is not a doctor. This is a sadist. This is a war criminal.
The investigative journalists at Skhemy identified him and revealed his face.
Cherdantsev belongs in the dock, alongside the entire system that enabled and protected him.
The world knows his face. Now he must answer for his crimes.

Shocking moment of today's Russian strike on Sumy, which killed 5 peopleโผ๏ธ
Please do not look away!
No mother should be forced to cover her children's bodies with her own like this. No child should have to live through such horrors!
During the overnight attack on Kyiv, none of the six Iskander-M/S-400 ballistic missiles fired by Russian troops from the Bryansk region were shot down.
The reason: Ukraine lacks sufficient interceptor missiles.
The real reason: Trump is a narcissist and a friend of Putin, and Europe has been asleep for four years.
