A Ukrainian commander sped through a Russian kill zone to save wounded troops near Pokrovsk, Reuters reported today. Facing drone swarms and artillery, he drove an armored vehicle 4km through open fields under direct fire.
Two soldiers with critical injuries were evacuated. The story highlights Ukraine's logistics crisis as Russia expands drone interdiction tactics. Kyiv says 70% of casualties now occur during evacuation, prompting new armored medevac units and electronic warfare escorts on frontline routes.
