Viktoria Roshchyna, who turned 28 this month, wrote vivid accounts of life in Crimea after Russia annexed the peninsula from Ukraine in 2014 and areas of eastern Ukraine seized by Russian-funded separatists.

She also documented the nearly three-month defence of the port of Mariupol after Moscow launched its February 2022 full-scale invasion. At least 17 journalists have been killed while reporting on the war, according to international organisations.

Roshchyna was initially held for 10 days in southern Ukraine after the invasion and had embarked on a new trip into occupied regions when she disappeared in August 2023. Russian officials acknowledged last May that she was being held.

How many FPV drones are needed to destroy several dozen enemy tanks or destroy the positions of Russian attack aircraft? I am convinced that the "birds" that we will soon hand over to our military will be enough for many more enemy targets)

3,140 drones of various diameters and for various combat missions — shock "Molfar" 10" and 8", as well as night and day "Maviks". They are very much expected at the front, because it is a guarantee of quick offensive actions and high-quality defense of Ukrainian positions.

We must help our soldiers stop the enemy from destroying the Russians on the approach to our dugouts and trenches. Destroyed day and night. They destroyed them with drops from "Maviks". They were destroyed by artillery fire directed with the help of aerial reconnaissance.

And we also have 50 stations of the Shatro dome-shaped multi-range anti-aircraft EW system, which is capable of covering the positions of our infantry, landing forces, and artillerymen from attack drones.

During these two and a half years, we do not stop at a single step in helping our military. Day and night, we manufacture, procure and think through fast logistics to supply the necessary equipment to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov has accused Russian lawmakers from neighboring regions of attempting to commission his assassination, and threatened them with a “blood feud” unless they prove otherwise, state news agency TASS reported.

TASS cited Chechen-language comments by Kadyrov, a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, to a meeting of Chechen security officials. Video of the meeting was published on Kadyrov’s personal Telegram channel on Wednesday.

The news agency translated Kadyrov’s comments as: “There are witnesses, there are people from whom they tried to commission, whom they asked how much they would take for the order.”

One thousand anti-aircraft drones, two hundred downed Russian wings and $1.23 billion of destroyed Russian equipment

▪️In three months, we produced and handed over 1,000 anti-aircraft drones

▪️They shot down more than 200 Russian wings

▪️The lack of eyes in the sky in Russia saved the lives of thousands of soldiers and civilians

▪️Further more - we are preparing for serial production of Shahed fighters

Our second unique product is Ukraine's largest FPV-drone "Queen of Hornets", more than six hundred of which appeared at the front in a few months.

In total, more than 15,000 "Wild Hornets" were transferred. OSINTers calculated only from the published videos of the damage that the "Wild Hornets" destroyed enemy equipment worth $1.23 billion.

But we would not have been able to do this without the trust and financial support of our friends: volunteers, foundations, entrepreneurs and thousands of caring Ukrainians and military personnel.

Thank you for your trust!

Russia has sustained over 600,000 casualties since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Defense News reported on Oct. 9, citing senior Pentagon officials.

. . .

The accelerating losses are disproportionate with Moscow's territorial gains, a senior U.S. defense official said on Oct. 9.

"Russian losses, again both killed and wounded in action, in just the first year of the war exceeded the total of all Soviet losses in any conflict since World War II combined," the official said.

The mounting casualties at the front may hinder the Russian military's recruitment efforts, the official said, putting pressure on the Kremlin to initiate a new wave of mobilization.
