In Kherson, every sunrise could be the last. Even a brief visit reveals the brutal rhythm of life under constant Russian fire. But the city stands, thanks to its people. From shopkeepers to rescue crews, especially the State Emergency Service, everyday acts of courage keep the city alive.

In the darkness, the elite “Vampires” of Ukraine’s 25th Airborne Brigade unleash precision strikes from the skies. Armed with high-tech drones and a relentless resolve, they silently stalk the Russian forces, delivering deadly blows without mercy. This is the story of their deadly nightly operations.

The full scale of Russian atrocities in Bucha, known as the Bucha massacre, surfaced only after its liberation on March 31, 2022—bodies in the streets, mass graves, homes reduced to rubble. But this isn’t just a story of devastation. On one street, residents have been reclaiming their town step by step—burying their dead and rebuilding their lives.

Hidden in dense forests, Ukraine’s 10th Edelweiss Mountain Assault Brigade is mastering the brutal art of close combat—storming trenches, dodging ambushes, and perfecting every move for the moment they face Russian forces on the front lines.

With pinpoint accuracy and rapid strikes, the American-made howitzer is reshaping the battlefield—wielded by Ukraine’s 93rd Kholodnyi Yar Mechanized Brigade.
