Residents of Oleshky who want to evacuate to Ukrainian-controlled territory will first be taken to Crimea or russia, according to the Financial Times. President Zelenskyy previously warned that russia would try to arrange evacuation routes so that Ukrainians ultimately end up on russian territory. The occupying forces could then exploit this for propaganda, portraying the evacuation of Ukrainians as a voluntary decision to move to russia.

Jesse Adams, a Canadian volunteer and founder of RainCoast Dog Rescue Society, was killed on October 25 while evacuating animals from Kramatorsk, Ukraine. He was working alongside Animal Rescue Kharkiv, helping rescue animals and civilians from frontline communities. A russian FPV drone struck the windshield of their evacuation vehicle, which had just been loaded with rescued animals. Jesse suffered severe injuries and later died in hospital despite emergency surgery. He traveled halfway around the world to save lives, only to lose his own to a russian drone while doing exactly that. Hundreds of animals are alive today because of Jesse. Rest in peace, Jesse. Thank you for everything you did for Ukraine.

Earlier this month, we witnessed what was reported as the world’s first-ever evacuation of a wounded soldier from the battlefield using a flying drone. Now, we have footage of TWO more successful rescues. Ukraine’s 475th Separate Assault Regiment, CODE 9.2, successfully evacuated two severely wounded soldiers using Ukrainian-made StarGate drones. Both soldiers were trapped in a contested area just 5 km from the Russian border. Difficult terrain, water obstacles, and the constant threat of Russian FPV drones made ground evacuation impossible. During one mission, the drone flew nearly 60 km round-trip, navigating through Russian GPS jamming with the help of AI-assisted technology. Ukrainian Vampire drones provided cover. That’s now three publicly documented aerial evacuations of wounded soldiers.

It really seems like Elon Musk is pushing everything anti-Ukrainian, anti-Zelenskyy, pro-russian, and pro-putin on X, while quietly suppressing the reach of pro-Ukrainian content. At least that’s the impression I’ve been getting lately.

Just the US president’s son casually vacationing with a Kremlin-linked oligarch. Donald Trump Jr. reportedly spent two days hunting in Mongolia with Umar Kremlev, a Russian oligarch with close ties to putin’s security circle, according to the Financial Times. Kremlev, who has a criminal record and heads the International Boxing Association, also helped fund Trump Jr.’s lavish wedding celebrations earlier this year. The two reportedly avoided taking photos together during the trip. Also, a recent ProPublica investigation also revealed that Kremlev helped pay for Trump Jr.’s wedding celebrations earlier this year. Sources: Financial Times⁠ and ProPublica⁠.
