Meet “Himera”, a “Timur’s Special Forces Unit” of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine. Tasked with defending a village in Southern Ukraine, we accompanied them to the frontline to show you how it's done.

Along the way, we were attacked by an FPV Drone and survived, met Russian soldiers fighting for Ukraine, learned about strategy and drone warfare, documented the evacuation of a heavily wounded man, and celebrated the 29th birthday of KOT, who grew up around the village. With him, we drank tea and ate red velvet cake while the houses he used to roam around as a child were bombed and burned.
