What happened
The UN aid chief has warned that these drones threaten civilians and aid work in Ukraine. The Russian army has boasted about attacking an unarmed civilian cyclist in a now-deleted video. A Russian drone pilot had 15 seconds to look his target in the eye before striking. France 24 has described the targeting of civilians as 'not an isolated incident' and 'human safaris'.
The evidence for these claims includes a video from the Russian army showing the attack on a civilian cyclist. The UN aid chief's warning underscores the severity of the situation. The description of these incidents as 'human safaris' suggests a deliberate and systematic targeting of civilians. The situation is complicated by the fact that the Russian army has deleted the video of the attack on the civilian cyclist.
This deletion raises questions about the Russian army's intentions and the extent of their involvement in these incidents. The UN aid chief's warning also suggests that these incidents are not isolated, but part of a broader pattern of targeting civilians and aid workers in Ukraine.
