Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky shared footage Wednesday morning of a Russian drone attack on a civilian vegetable vendor in the Kherson region. In the video, the drone is seen pursuing the man before detonating on him. Zelensky called the footage 'proof of Russia's madness' and said 'it is impossible to live with this evil.' The exact date of the incident has not been confirmed by available sources, though it occurred in the Kherson region, which has been contested between Russian and Ukrainian forces.
As The Zioneer reported on Tuesday evening (Aug 4, 17:00 Jerusalem), the incident was first noted in the Telegram channels. Later that evening (23:00), The Zioneer published video footage of the attack. The footage was then shared by Zelensky on Wednesday morning, according to reports by N12 journalist Tomer Almagor, causing it to go viral globally. According to multiple reports cited by Almagor, Russia has been deliberately targeting Ukrainian civilians near the front line to terrorize the population and retaliate for Ukraine's recapture of the area. The condition of the vegetable seller after the attack remains unknown.
