7 KILOMETERS ON AN ELECTRIC SCOOTER WITH A SEVERED LEG: AN INCREDIBLE RESCUE STORY OF A UKRAINIAN SOLDIER

  • During an assault on enemy positions, a Ukrainian soldier engaged in close-quarters combat and eliminated an occupier, but sustained a severe injury himself. Due to significant blood loss, he would lose consciousness every time he tried to stand up.
  • An electric scooter became his only chance to escape. The command of the code__9.2 unit delivered the scooter using a heavy-lift drone. Despite his injury, the soldier covered 17 kilometers, reaching speeds of up to 52 km/h.
  • Throughout the journey, he was covered by Ukrainian FPV drones, while fiber-optic cables kept getting tangled in the scooter’s wheels, complicating the evacuation. • Ultimately, the soldier managed to reach a location where a fellow soldier picked him up by car.
  • "I’m glad I’m still alive," says the defender.

"President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Friday waiving new sanctions and tariffs on Russia. The move effectively neutralizes the law by lifting provisions that barred the president from removing sanctions against Russia and preventing a host of new sanctions and penalties from taking effect on Oct. 18 -- the deadline set by the law. "

Russia Is Integrating AI Models into Its Cognitive Warfare Campaign Against Ukraine

https://understandingwar.org/research/geospatial-intelligence/russia-is-integrating-ai-models-into-its-cognitive-warfare-campaign-against-ukraine/

The tactic existed even before the current boom in generative AI. Small Russian groups would try to infiltrate far ahead between Ukrainian positions, reach a building or the outskirts of a settlement, unfurl a Russian flag in front of a drone camera, and immediately flee or, more often, be killed shortly afterward. The mere appearance of the flag would then be used as evidence that Russia supposedly controlled the settlement.

But now there is no longer always a need to send a soldier with a flag one can simply be generated.

Надія.

That's her name. She lived in Kramatorsk her whole life. She got traumatized during the first modern russian invasion of Ukraine in 2014 and never been the same. And trauma only grew.
Now she is forced to leave. Russians bombed her home. Then russians bombed the home of the relatives she moved in with after. Russians want Hope dead. Russians simply despise the idea of Hope existing in this world.

But Hope is alive.

And Hope was born here, in Ukraine.
