'The world must see': Zelenskyy shares video of drone hunting down vegetable seller

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy shared a video of a drone attacking a 52-year-old vegetable seller in Kherson, accusing Russia of conducting a "drone safari" against civilians. The man, identified as Yurii, survived the shrapnel injuries to his legs and back but was visibly shaken in the footage. Ukraine has reported a surge in civilian casualties during the ongoing war with Russia, which the UN attributes to Russian missile and drone strikes targeting cities away from the front lines.

Zelenskyy emphasized the need for the world to witness these incidents, stating that Russia has "gone mad" and its soldiers derive pleasure from killing and abusing civilians.
