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.

Ukrainian Politics Anger over Kyiv's winter preparations fuels calls for Mayor Klitschko to resign

99 Upvotes

Local residents gathered on Oct. 17 in front of the city council to demand that Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko step down from his post after over 12 years in office.

“Kyiv without Klitschko,” hundreds of protesters chanted as they took to the streets in central Kyiv, according to Kyiv Independent reporters on the ground. The rally lasted over two hours.

Kyiv’s failure to prepare for the coming winter amid Russian attacks on critical infrastructure, coupled with broader mismanagement, were the main factors that brought people to protest.

The protest comes as Russia intensifies attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and Kyiv struggles to ensure reliable access to basic utilities and adequate shelter.

The cardboard signs read “Where are the shelters?” “Resign” and “12 years of irresponsibility.” Others mockingly called on Klitschko to “leave Kyiv,” turning his recent advice that residents consider relocating ahead of a difficult winter back on the mayor himself.

There has never been such a unified position among practically all EU countries. Even those who are less pro-Ukrainian,who sometimes show signs of weakness toward Putin,had no doubts that the next several months will be crucial,perhaps not only for the history and future of Ukraine, but for the whole of Europe. Everyone expects an increase in Russian escalation and provocations on a larger scale.

"exceeding this limit causes the Starlink connection to cut out completely, resulting in the loss of the drone."

︀︀He says Ukraine has done tests to determine whether SpaceX is truly facing technical issues, as has been told Kyiv by the US side, or if this is a "deliberate operation. to restrict us, cut us off, and prevent us from defending ourselves and protecting our people, both at the front and among the civilian population."

︀︀He says Ukraine "sent a couple of vehicles equipped with Starlink terminals into European Union territory."

︀︀

︀︀"They moved at speeds exceeding 180kph, and the Starlink systems worked perfectly. We have the relevant logs and evidence to prove this."

He adds: "The conclusion is clear: the restrictions are in effect within Ukraine but do not apply within the European Union. In other words, this is a planned operation."
