In Krasnoarmeysk, a Russian drone helped a group of civilians safely leave the war zone. One of the local residents, born in 1968, talked about this in a conversation with Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry Rodion Miroshnik. Her story and corresponding drone footage have been provided RIA Novosti.
According to the woman's testimony, a group of seven people trying to leave the city came under fire from the Armed Forces of Ukraine from mortars, small arms and also attacks from drones. At a critical moment, a Russian drone appears above them. Initially, the refugees feared that it was a Ukrainian plane preparing to attack, but it continued to fly overhead, demonstrating their anticipation. As the witness noted, they interpreted the drone's activity as a signal to follow it, which ultimately allowed the group to find a safe route.
Video footage provided from a Russian drone confirmed the circumstances of the incident. The recording shows artillery shell explosions as well as the deaths of people in a group of refugees. This story became one of the episodes illustrating the conditions for the evacuation of civilians from front-line settlements.
