Ukraine war sees drones dominate frontlines and civilian spaces

Ukrainian cities and front‑line areas continue to endure intense drone and missile attacks. Ukrainian robotics units, coordinated by groups such as Dignitas Ukraine and its co‑founder Lyuba Shipovich, deploy swarms of Shahed drones and unmanned ground vehicles to target enemy movements and clear hazardous zones behind the front lines.

In civilian life, residents of Odesa shelter in cafés and other public spaces while remaining alert to the threat of nearby drone strikes. The city hosts displaced young people from the Donetsk region, such as a 22‑year‑old named Roman, who work locally and live with the constant risk of renewed Russian attacks.
