Ukrainian soldiers adapt drones for supply missions as Russian advances increase

thestar.com November 14, 2024, 06:01 AM UTC

Ukrainian soldiers in the Kharkiv region are using drones to deliver supplies to frontline troops, adapting the technology originally designed for bombs. The Khartia brigade's commander, known as Kit, focuses on immediate needs amid increasing Russian attacks. Russian forces are advancing in the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions, while up to 12,000 North Korean troops have reportedly been deployed to support Russia. The situation is tense as both sides prepare for critical weeks ahead. U.S. support for Ukraine remains a key issue, with the Biden administration pledging assistance before the upcoming presidential transition. Ukrainian soldiers continue their efforts on the ground, prioritizing their missions over political developments.
