Ukraine War ☠ Footage and Updates ⚠ Day 169

Ukraine War News from August 11

• Aerorozvidka was founded in 2014, and now it works on supplying the Ukrainian army with unmanned aerial vehicles. “We calculated that $1 invested in the production of an R18 drone causes $1,000 worth of damage to the enemy. If a drone hits a piece of equipment like a tank, it pays for itself in one flight. After all, destroyed equipment costs millions, but the equipment we work with costs tens or hundreds of thousands,” Aerorozvidka explained.
• Russia is offering convicts freedom if they fight in order to replenish its military. A Prisoner rights group says at least 1,500 have taken up an offer that comes with promises of big salaries and a pardon, but many quickly want to back out of deal.
• Late-night explosions and flashes at Zyabrovka military airfield in Belarus were caused by live-fire exercises conducted by air force and air defense units, the Belarusian military said. This was nothing out of the ordinary, the Belarusian military said.

• Before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February, Poland was considered the black sheep of Europe. Its illiberal government under the ruling Law and Justice party trampled on the country’s democratic constitution, subordinated the public media, and attacked women’s and minorities’ rights. Poland became an outcast within the European Union. Russia’s war against Ukraine has forced a rethinking about the European order after Warsaw stepped up to help Ukraine.
• Moscow has rejected a plan by Kyiv to have Switzerland represent Ukraine’s interests in Russia, saying it no longer considers Switzerland a neutral country.
• Does Ukraine have a chance of reclaiming lost territory? ‘Crimea is Ukrainian and we will never give it up.’
