Ukraine is using drones meant for farmers to target Russia's tanks. They retrofit the drones with weapons and other components before sending them into battle. This resourcefulness is part of a larger Ukrainian reliance on low-cost consumer drones. Kolesnyk's efforts reflect a larger trend in Ukraine's drone strategy: turning low-cost consumer drones into military weapons. In addition to the farm drones, Ukrainian forces are also relying on low-cost hobbyist drones to take down Russian armored vehicles.

There are now more than 60,000 women in Ukraine's army, including at least 5,000 in combat units, members of Ukraine's Parliament have said. Pregnant women enlisted in Ukraine's army continue to serve up to seven months into their pregnancy, the couple said, necessitating uniforms that fit like "a second skin." "Imagine if we take all the men in all the armies in the world and give them female uniforms," Kolesnyk said.
