🇺🇦 "Operation: Save Grandma": Ukrainian soldiers spotted an elderly woman walking along a heavily shelled road in the Lyman district through drone footage. “She was walking among shell craters and the bodies of her fellow villagers with no hope of survival, until a robot came for her,” reports the Third Army Corps of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. They deployed a ground robotic vehicle covered with a blanket that read: “Grandma, get in!” The robot successfully delivered the 77-year-old woman to the evacuation point.

11 years ago, the legendary "Azov" became an official combat unit Born as a volunteer corps, it made its mark from day one of the war in Donbas — liberating Mariupol just a month after its creation, then fighting in Marinka, Ilovaisk, and Shyrokyne. Later transformed into a regiment and then a brigade under Ukraine’s National Guard. In 2022, Azov led the heroic defense of Mariupol, holding out against overwhelming Russian forces in the siege of Azovstal — fighting to the very end.

Azov returns to Mariupol. For now, through reconnaissance-strike systems. Pilots of First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine patrol roads up to 160 km deep behind the line of contact. In the cameras of reconnaissance-strike drones: Mariupol and enemy military targets. Enemy forces are using Ukrainian roads in the city and its outskirts to move personnel and military hardware. First Corps Azov continues to establish a "sanitary zone" for Russian logistics. The strike depth will increase. Azov is already patrolling its home city of Mariupol. From the skies — for now. But more is coming.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 is Ukraine's Robot Army Actually Working? Ukraine is ramping up the robotization of its military to compensate for its lack of manpower. Unmanned Ground Vehicles, or UGVs, can be found everywhere on the battlefield as they replace soldiers in combat, engineering, medical evacuations and logistics. However, are they effective? Meanwhile, Russia is also developing its own ground robots, but with a focus on engineering vehicles to breakthrough. Which doctrine will prevail?

For one and a half months, a Ukrainian ground drone from the Third Assault Brigade held the position in place of infantry. For 45 consecutive days, the ground robotic system carried out combat patrols, suppressing all attempts by Russian forces to break into the sector with machine-gun fire. Operators of the NC13 strike drone unit controlled the DevDroid TW 12.7 robot from a safe shelter. During the mission, Russians were unable either to infiltrate or to capture the position. Meanwhile, Ukrainian Warriors held the line with zero casualties.

❗️ The Third Army Corps officially refutes information about the so-called "breakthrough" of the Russians in Lyman. 💬 "The corps units repel 40 assaults per day on the approaches to Lyman and do not allow the enemy to enter the city," said the corps commander, Brigadier General Biletsky. ▫️ The enemy made a dozen attempts to infiltrate small groups on the outskirts of the city during the month. ▫️ Each time, the enemy servicemen were eliminated or taken prisoner. ▫️ One of the prisoners has his own version of how the Ukrainians learned about their positions. 💬 "In four years, Gerasimov has "burned" his army without taking full control of a single Ukrainian region. Therefore, while our units are nipting in the bud any attempts by Russia to approach Lyman, he is reporting to Putin about non-existent successes," says the commander of the 63rd Motorized Rifle Brigade, Colonel Yurchuk.

First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine. The First Year. The First Battle. Dobropillia Sector. On March 7, 2025, the First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine was formed, with the Azov Brigade as its core. Four additional brigades became part of the corps: Burevii, Chervona Kalyna, Kara Dag, and Lubart. The corps was commanded by Hero of Ukraine, Colonel Denys "Redis" Prokopenko. In August, the corps was assigned a zone of responsibility in the Pokrovsk sector, where key events of the Battle for Donbas unfolded. Corps units, together with attached and subordinate forces, were tasked with halting and eliminating the enemy, who had broken through the defensive formations of Ukraine’s Defense Forces toward the settlement of Dobropillia. The corps command ensured effective coordination among units of the National Guard of Ukraine, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Air Assault and Assault Troops, the Unmanned Systems Forces, and other components of the Defense Forces. This coordinated effort made it possible to stabilize the situation in the sector. In the autumn, the General Staff calculated that during the counteroffensive operation, approximately 175 square kilometers of territory were liberated. In addition, nearly 195 square kilometers were cleared of enemy sabotage groups. Starting on August 4, when command and control of Defense Forces units in the Dobropillia sector was transferred to the First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine, and up to the present day, the enemy has suffered significant losses. As of December 29, 2025, they amount to: • irrecoverable losses — 12,492 occupiers; • wounded — 8,346; • captured — 185 servicemen of the Russian armed forces. Over five months of the counteroffensive operation, a large amount of enemy equipment was destroyed or damaged: • 93 tanks; • 259 armored combat vehicles; • 314 artillery systems; • 1,821 units of light and heavy automotive equipment and motorcycles, including: – light vehicles — 618; – heavy vehicles — 33; – special-purpose vehicles — 43; – motorcycles and buggies — 1,127; • 3,579 UAVs of various types. The first major operation of the First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine served as practical confirmation that, under conditions of clear planning, unified command, and coordinated action by its units, the corps is capable of effectively countering the enemy, disrupting their operational and strategic plans, while preserving the lives of Defense Forces personnel. The year 2025 became a year of trials for the First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine and, at the same time, a test of the effectiveness of the army corps system created to enhance planning and employment of forces. The Dobropillia operation became the corps’ first successful examination. New battles lie ahead, demanding willpower, discipline, and decisive action. Together — we are strong.

Every fourth or fifth is limited in fitness. They are located in military units but refuse or are unable to perform combat tasks.

🔻 Russia's Army Is Falling Apart: Their 2024 Offensive Capacity Was Wiped Out In a recent interview with Yanina Sokolova, Andriy Biletsky, founder of the "Azov" Regiment and commander of Ukraine’s 3rd Assault Brigade, stated that Russia has completely burned through its offensive potential from 2024 — and hasn't built a new one. ❝The Russian army today is significantly weaker than it was last year,❞ Biletsky emphasized. But while the enemy is weakening, this is no time to relax. Biletsky openly acknowledged that there are serious issues within Ukraine’s own army — and they must be solved. 💬 “Every army has problems — even the U.S. Army. But we have ours, and they are significant,” he said. And that’s the core of it: in a war of attrition, the winner is not just the one with more guns — but the one with more self-discipline and inner resolve. Russia is collapsing under its own lies, stagnation, and daily delusions of “victory.” We are standing — because we confront our flaws, adapt, and fight for truth. And that’s why we will win.

💥 Unmanned Systems Forces struck one of the largest refineries in southern russia In the night of 26 September, operators of the 14th UAS Regiment of the Unmanned Systems Forces, in cooperation with other components of the Defence Forces, carried out a strike on the “Afipsky oil refinery” in Krasnodar Krai, russian Federation, located about 380 km from the front line. The Afipsky refinery is one of the key oil-processing enterprises in southern russia. Its design capacity is 6.25 million tonnes of crude oil per year (about 2.2% of russia’s total). The plant’s main products are gasoline, diesel and aviation fuel, which are used to supply the Russian army. As a result of the #DeepStrike, the primary crude oil processing unit AT-22/4 was hit. In 2013 it was modernized, increasing its throughput to approximately 3 million tonnes/year. If it is put out of operation, crude oil processing will stop and fuel output will drop sharply. A fire broke out on the site of the enterprise. Representatives of local authorities have confirmed a hit on one of the technological units. Detailed consequences of the strike are being clarified. The Unmanned Systems Forces are steadily degrading the enemy’s ability to supply fuel and lubricants to the russian army and to continue aggression against Ukraine. 🇺🇦 Unmanned Systems Forces: One step ahead!

How a UAO "Targan" Ground Drone saved a wounded soldier from the 25th Air Assault Brigade❤️‍🔥 Donate here for Ground Drones: One month ago, we delivered one of our "Targans" from our previous CVN fundraiser to the 25th Brigade (see post below)! Now, this ground drone saved a life💪 One of the 25th Brigade units held their positions for 1.5 months! When the unit needed to move, one of the soldiers stepped on a Russian mine, and unfortunately lost his foot! Being constantly under Russian fire, the ground drone was the very last option for evacuation! They carried him on the ground drone at night, and the long evacuation way began! During the way, another FPV strike on the drone - with the soldier on top! Then a miracle call: He survived and could be saved! This also happened thanks to all supporters all over the world🙏 The story would not be complete without saying, that few days later, the ground drone was destroyed... however, not without having made a significant impact!

Ukraine is increasingly turning to ground-based unmanned vehicles as part of its broader shift toward drone warfare. While aerial drones dominate much of the battlefield, ground drones are taking on tasks that once required soldiers to operate under direct fire. The video, filmed with the 7th Corps of Ukraine's Air Assault Forces, shows how these unmanned ground vehicles are being used to move through dangerous terrain, deliver supplies, and support frontline operations. Designed for conditions where human movement is extremely risky, the systems help reduce exposure to mines, artillery, and small-arms fire. The Kyiv Independent continues its front-line coverage in 2026, and we need your support now more than ever. Become part of our community via the link in bio.
