Kyiv endured one of the largest attacks yet. 430 drones and 18 missiles struck every district. 5 people were killed, 26 injured — including children and a pregnant woman.

“Jamming systems are crucial for keeping medics safe,” says a combat medic from the 114th Brigade. Enemy drones can destroy armored vehicles, but counter-drones systems stop them within 200–300 meters. Leleka Foundation delivers these systems to protect evacuation teams on the front.

Andrii Romanov was a pharmacist in Kropyvnytskyi, a volunteer medic. When the full-scale invasion began, he volunteered as a field medic in Ukraine’s Air Assault Brigade. In January he was killed by a Russian strike near Yunakivka, in the Sumy region—just six kilometers from the Russian border.
