How dodging drones and death became daily life in eastern Ukraine

In eastern Ukraine, aid workers like Anastasiia Bilchenko face constant threats from Russian drones during their missions to deliver assistance to towns near the conflict zone. During a recent trip to Zolochiv, Bilchenko and her team narrowly escaped a Russian FPV drone that was tracking their vehicle, highlighting the growing danger of drone warfare. The incident underscores how the 'front line' has expanded into a broader kill zone, with drones capable of reaching up to 25 kilometers from the actual battlefield. Ukrainian military officials warn that the threat is evolving with advancements in autonomous systems and electronic warfare, urging caution for those entering these zones.
