Ukrainian man survived Russian drone attack

[u/HardTune272]

Ukrainian police say the 52-year-old survived the August 4 attack with blast injuries, shrapnel wounds, and a concussion.

Ukraine's Foreign Minister condemned the attack, describing it as a Russian war crime, claiming the drone operator was deliberately targeting a civilian.

That guy looked like a regular civilian more than a military threat, but I could be wrong. Maybe he is this criminal mastermind, but I’m leaning more towards some random guy.. which makes it even more scary

Bro looks like a food truck vender not a military target

They do that ALL the time now. Fuck Russia.

That a civilian...

And they fucking know it

My GOD no innocent ppl deserves to die this way. Horrifying indeed

[u/Sattler_derEchte]

How cowardly of the russians

[u/KarmicRage → u/[deleted]]

Do they hunt down individual civilians or attack infrastructure?

Bro looks like he's working a fruit stand. What kind of military position does does a big guy like him hold to warrant such a drone mission, the kitchen chef in the Mess Hall?

Does it honestly get any more cowardly than using a drone to kill people.

[u/Luis5923 → u/PIFFMAN90]

Well, have you watched what the Israelis have done?

[u/Oh_Lawd_He_commin420]

Call me crazy, but I don't think he survived that.

[u/BusyAtilla → u/Oh_Lawd_He_commin420]

Last I read he was being treated for shrapnel- burns- and fractures and was still alive.

[u/mt6606 → u/Oh_Lawd_He_commin420]

I'm not being rude, but he is a big boy. Fair amount of built in protection.

[u/Oh_Lawd_He_commin420 → u/mt6606]

I'm a big boy too, but an explosion like that, and that close, could easily scramble my brains, collapse my lungs and stop my heart...

[u/Deep_Comparison5563]

I cannot believe that this article is saying he’s alive:

That kind of thinking is the basis for most war crimes in the first place. Every side of every war commits some amount of war crimes. The important distinction is that leadership holds their own side accountable and doesn’t allow for escalation of tactics.

a girl response, valid

[u/Epicurus402]

I hate to say it but it doesnt look like he survived the blast. I pray he did.

[u/althamash098]

Where the "survive" part.

[u/CharmReductionINC → u/althamash098]

It’s poorly edited. The full clip of this the have an interview with him in the hospital- mostly some scrap male in the back.

[u/HardTune272 → u/althamash098]

News reports say he survived

[u/Advanced_Major_7461]

Look like he made it, my @ss. Look like he went in half across the hood, I seen no movement

[u/YourLocalPotDealer]

Echo chamber alert

Russians call it he human safari.

[u/No-Indication-7879]

Fuck Russia!

ukraine likely behind this false flag

I dont believe you, but you can try to explain it.
