The true face of Russian aggression was captured on video as a 52-year-old Ukrainian vegetable seller, identified as Yuriy, was hunted down by a Russian drone in the Kherson region. The footage shows the drone relentlessly pursuing the man before detonating, leaving him with shrapnel wounds and a concussion.

While the victim miraculously survived, this incident is part of a disturbing pattern often referred to as 'human safari,' where Russian operators use remotely-piloted drones to terrorize civilians living near the front lines.

Despite Russia’s hollow denials regarding the targeting of non-combatants, the evidence of this calculated strike against a civilian worker is undeniable.

This attack serves as a stark reminder of the brutality faced by those living under the shadow of Russian occupation and the ongoing necessity of supporting Ukraine’s defense against such lawless hostility.
