I just want to remind everyone abroad about Russia’s “human safari” in Kherson - they hunt civilians with drones. It’s one of the most dangerous places in Ukraine, and one that desperately needs help.

For example, it concluded that more than a thousand deals were each worth $34 million, when in fact some were for as little as $35,000.
