Selensky accuses Russia of drone "safari"

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of conducting a targeted drone 'safari' against civilians in the city of Kherson, citing a video showing a small drone attacking a street vendor. The video, which circulated on social media platforms like Telegram, depicts a drone approaching a man at a truck stop, where he was attempting to hide behind a green umbrella. According to Ukrainian authorities, the man survived the attack with minor injuries and later described his attempt to signal to the drone operator that he was selling tomatoes and eggplants. Zelenskyy emphasized that such attacks are part of a broader pattern of Russian aggression against civilian populations in Kherson, which is located along the Dnipro River where Ukrainian and Russian troops face off. He called for increased pressure on Moscow to end the war, stressing that the conflict affects not just Ukraine but neighboring countries as well.
