Drone footage shows utter devastation in Borodyanka from Russian attacks

Earlier today, the following drone footage was shared that shows the devastation that resulted from Russian attacks on residential targets in Borodyanka, a town near Kyiv.

At the beginning of the drone footage, you can see burnt-out Russian military vehicles. Locals claim they helped to repel a Russian attack, the news outlet reports.

Halfway through the video, you can see a residential apartment building that has partly collapsed and is still burning in some parts.

According to the newsoutlet, the residential building had been destroyed by Russian shelling.

The video also shows the importance of drones. The unmanned aircraft can be used for reconnaissance purposes, for aerial attacks, and, as shown in this video, for documentation of what might well be war crimes.

The drone footage is about one minute long and is one of the few aerial videos we have seen showing the devastation that resulted from the Russian invasion.

Earlier this week, 140 DJI Mini drones were hand-delivered to the Ukrainian military by three Finnish friends.

Small, easy-to-fly drones, such as the DJI Mini 2 are great for documenting the damage in residential areas and the potential war crimes that have been committed by the Russian invaders in Ukraine.
