Baby Anhelina and her mom Inna were killed by Russia yesterday. Anhelina was just over a year old. Her mom, Inna Mariukhna, was a primary school teacher. They were in the park in Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv region, when a Russian drone attacked. Little Anhelina was killed in her stroller. Her mom died of her injuries in hospital. Another girl killed in the strike was just 11 years old. Six people lost their lives from that Russian strike. All of them had simply been spending time in the park. At least 15 more were injured, including seven kids. Deepest condolences...

Yet another historic first has taken place in Ukraine. The most important part is that the rescue mission saved the Defender's life. "A historic event has taken place - an evacuation from the front line using a flying drone." - Napalm, a squad leader and programmer with the Unmanned Ground Systems Company of the 92nd Assault Brigade. An infantryman from the 30th Separate Mechanized Brigade was wounded while holding his position. Due to intense Russian drone activity and mined terrain, evacuating him using conventional unmanned ground vehicles was impossible. That’s when specialists from 92nd Assault Brigade UGS Company took responsibility for doing something that had never been done before: evacuating a service member using an aerial drone. The aircraft was a heavy-lift hexacopter manufactured by Ukrainian company Gurzuf Defence, which provided it free of charge. The drone was piloted by an operator from the 30th Separate Mechanized Brigade. The operation was a success - the wounded Defender was rescued! (Note how evacuation by ground drones has already become "conventional". This war is changing the future of warfare)

Yesterday, we all saw the video of Kostiantyn Vlasenko, a Ukrainian Defender from the 30th Brigade, being evacuated by drone from a position on the left bank of the Oskil River in the Kupiansk sector, Kharkiv region. I was deeply impacted by the video and his interview. After being seriously wounded in February, Kostiantyn lost one leg. Several months later, when gangrene set in, he had to amputate his other leg himself. Throughout all of this, he continued to hold the position alone. Several attempts to evacuate him by land had failed, so different units of Ukraine's Defense Forces came together to rescue Kostiantyn. I'm speechless.
