Kilometers from Ukraine’s frontline, foreign volunteers engineer the future of drone warfare.

Ukraine’s 14th Deep Strike Regiment of the Unmanned Systems Forces is preparing for another mission—one that could hit Russia where it hurts: airbases, oilfields, and other critical infrastructure. In this exclusive photo report, we take you inside their operations, capturing the precision, skill, and cutting-edge technology behind Ukraine’s long-range drone strikes.

Despite Russia’s ongoing assaults, Mykolaiv’s healthcare professionals continue to deliver critical care at the Regional Clinical Hospital, prioritizing patient recovery and support.

For more than two years, Mykolaiv has survived without a centralized drinking water supply—another crisis caused by Russia’s full-scale war in Ukraine.

Just kilometers from the frontline, a Ukrainian bomb factory works in secret. This isn’t high-tech—it’s survival.

The stars in Ukraine shine not only in the sky — they walk among the people. On December 25, Kyiv glows with the light of Ukrainian Christmas and the warmth of countless smiles.
