Later, the Ukrainian military published a video depicting the elimination of a Russian who fell prey to a Ukrainian kamikaze drone.

It is also noteworthy that, even while running away from the drone, the Russian did not drop his smartphone, filming his own death.

"Oh, I got in the frame!" the Ukrainian FPV operator said, commenting on the result of his work.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian volunteers are creating so-called "drone catchers" for the Defense Forces to prevent such incidents on our side.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.

For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
