The greengrocer 'caught' by a drone in Ukraine: "I showed him I only had vegetables, but he started flying towards me"
The 52-year-old man, identified as Yurii, suffered shrapnel injuries and a concussion. Zelenski described the episode as an example of a “human safari”
The vegetable seller from Kherson, in southern Ukraine, who appears in a video spread on Tuesday being chased by a Russian drone, has survived the attack and can now tell his story. The 52-year-old man, identified as Yurii, says he arrived at the market in a van with his wife. They were setting up their stall when they were spotted by an unmanned aerial vehicle with first-person view (FPV).
“My wife ran off and the drone started circling back towards the vehicle,” he recounts from his hospital bed in another video published by the Kherson regional military administration on their Telegram account.
