His wife had run away, and the drone zeroed in on Yuriy, who pulled out vegetables to show that he did not have a weapon. "It could see that I had tomatoes out, some cucumbers and eggplants laid out on the floor," Yuriy told BBC. "It even ducked under the umbrella when I was running away round the other side." Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha called the attack a "barbaric war crime," demanding international intervention.

Finland and Kazakhstan, the Baltic states and Poland, the countries of the South Caucasus, Romania, and Moldova — all should work together to ensure real security guarantees and bring Russia’s war to an end."
