“Hunting for journalists” — this is what a TSN film crew’s trip to Orikhiv was

While working in the destroyed city, a team of journalists found themselves in the sights of russian FPV drones. A few hours before the crew’s arrival, air bombs hit the center, and drones were hunting on the streets, flying not above, but literally down over the ground.

After a brief filming near ​​the train station, the media workers were spotted by a russian reconnaissance drone — and the team was forced to hide in a building. The enemy FPVs circled for several hours, preventing them from leaving.

The servicemen who accompanied the group, in particular the presiding officer of the 65^th Motorized Rifle Brigade, Serhii Skibchik, explained: “Today the journalists experienced the same thing that Ukrainian fighters do every day.” The drones fly extremely low, switch to “a stand-by” mode, and wait for the corrector to give the command to strike.

“Despite the extremely difficult security situation, almost 700 civilians remain in Orikhiv. And our film crew was probably the last one allowed to visit the remote areas of the shattered city,” correspondent Dariya Nazarova reported.
