Reporting
Volodymyr Zelensky says
is a civilian
who was selling vegetables
on the roadside.
That drone goes around
and around in circles
as this man
appears to run away from it,
but then eventually
it does detonate.
That man injured
in that strike,
but ultimately surviving.
He did suffer a concussion.
Now, earlier
in this week,
Ukraine executed
a number of strikes
on its own,
hitting
a Russian beach
yesterday and killing seven,
including three children,
also targeting
a number of Wildberries
warehouses, that's the
Russian equivalent of Amazon.
Five killed
and ten injured
in the most recent
Ukrainian strikes.
This most recent conflict
between Ukraine and Russia
is now approaching
four and a half years.
