A Russian drone attack in Sumy Oblast killed four civilians, including a 17-year-old and a medic, the regional administration chief Oleh Hryhorov said on Feb. 22.
He said Russian forces dropped a munition from a drone on the outskirts of the Znob-Novhorodske community, where two brothers were wounded by the explosion and hospitalized. While they were being transported, Russian forces deliberately struck the ambulance with a strike drone.
The ambulance caught fire in the attack. Only the driver survived; he sustained severe burns and remains in hospital. According to the regional administration, the dead are the two brothers — one of them 17 — and a married couple, with the woman working as a medical professional.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
