"Kherson’s civilians have been, since midsummer, the target of an experiment without precedent in modern European warfare: a concerted Russian campaign to empty a city by stalking its residents with attack drones. The killer machines, sometimes by the swarm, hover above homes, buzz into buildings and chase people down streets in their cars, riding bicycles or simply on foot. The targets are not soldiers, or tanks, but civilian life... Since mid-July, Kherson and its neighboring villages along the western side of the Dnipro river have suffered more than 9,500 attacks with small drones, killing at least 37 people and injuring hundreds more, according to Prokudin, regional prosecutors and police."

is reporting from Kherson for months, but the West doesn't move!

#Kherson #DroneAttacks 🚨Anastasia, a mother of two, was cycling home when a Russian drone chased her, dropped a grenade with titanium shrapnel, injuring her—and filmed it. The video was posted on Russian SM with a winky emoji. More about #HumanSafari kyivindependent.com/human-safari-k

I was walking on a beach Sunday evening when I heard a screeching high-pitched noise above me. I totally freaked out and wondered what was happening then I came out of my relaxed state, looked up and saw this screeching drone. Mentally it must be horrific hearing swarms of them.

Saw it in July during a delivery trip. However, the majority of Germans thinks only about Christmas vacations and cheap Russian gas. A disgraceful nation, right up with their beloved Russia.

So, is this genocide or ethnic cleansing? Because it's deliberate targeting of civilians to remove them from an area

These are rookie numbers compared to Gaza really. It's good you call attention to what happens but don't call this without precedent, you sound dumb at best and incredibly rascist if you think adding European somehow makes a difference

They believe they will take the city eventually so they prepare the new voter majority for future "election". They make the original population leave, then fill the city with migrants from Russia (by selling cheap and giving away the stolen property). This is Russian democracy.

If you want to focus on real war crimes do an investigation on the number of killed civilians by Ukrainian forces in Kursk region, and the killings they do when they retreat from certain settlements in Ukraine. Scores of civilians were shot in Selidovo as they retreated.

im amazed how the american jurnalist try to paint such degenerate view of the war like what do they think when a country is at war a part of it gets a apass or something?

I wonder whether multiple sky laser projectors, coupled with a drone detectors, could not blind those drones.

The 'red zone' declared by this Russian drone unit is where the Ukrainian army had conducted the crossing of the Dnieper River and carried out sabotage, not the whole city. Not all vehicles are being targeted, as seen on the videos. And those "civilians" are armed.

Meanwhile western governments are afraid to even properly label Russia a state sponsor of terrorism, let alone do anything to stop this savagery and blatant terrorism.

What Israelis are doing in Gaza is worse and far more are dying with quadcopter drones developed by Aro in Tel Aviv to murder as many as possible. They are massacering entire families. They slaughter as many as possible. That is how they "field test" them to sell to other nations

Stopped reading at 9700 attacks killing only 37 people. If you must spread lies, at least try to be creative with it. No sensible person will believe this shit!!

where is the evidence that these are Russian drones and not Ukrainian ones, during the ATO, Nazi units dressed up in Donetsk police uniforms and fired at the positions of the Armed Forces

same happens on the eastern side of Dnepr. But writing something like 'Ukrainian campaign to empty villages' wouldn't make good headlines

@YumRatMuffins
Happens on both sides. Kurtz pensioners who refused to leave for Ukr as Ukr troops abandoned their village were shot dead. Over 100 found dead by Ru soldiers. Ukr has been sending 155M shells & cluster bombs into the heart of a small city in Donbas for a week.

@SincereCicero
Russia has gone, and is going, to great lengths to minimize civilians, yet Ukraine targets Russian civilians with clear intent ("irregular warfare programs") and through their propaganda efforts, projects this capacity onto its opponent.

@basaclue
Israel has been doing this to Palestinians for much longer, with the backing of Western governments, which has had the unfortunate effect of normalising this type of warfare.

Mr. BlueSky
@cyber_seljak
Yeah. Because Russian drone pilots have no better things to do, than to hunt for pro-Russian civilians. Which still remain in Kherson, waiting for Russian army to liberate them. Snitching on ukrops in the process. As admitted multiple times by ukrop swines themselves

without precedent in europe maybe, but the sadistic dystopia exists in gaza as well drones suck

Hey Rob you should see what the IDF does in Gaza, it's almost exactly the same except they shoot to kill every single time. So had it been Gaza and not Kherson there would be 9500 dead and not 37...

A war waged on civilians using the Terror. The only instrument known to the terrorist organization FSB that has ruled Russia for more than 20 years.

We see news and videos of UAF blowing up cars of alleged military targets in civilian transport (behind the contact line) and you want to tell us, that RUAF not doing the same but rather simply "terrorize" civilians? Sure, buddy.

Nearly Half of the US (I’m a Trump voter too) refuses to believe that Russia is committing overt war crimes or that the world should care what happens to their fellow man. Things are bad off.

@DESTEVADI
Zelenskys done the same as Stalin in WW2. Order no 227. “Don’t evacuate civilians, it will make the soldiers fight harder”plus it also gives one propaganda to use when civilians are hit because it’s an active combat zone if anyone’s in the wrong here it’s UKR for not evacing civs

Not new but with drones in a different form. Example Sarajevo '92-'96. Population terrorized by grenades and snipers 24/7.
