"It was another hard day of our offensive. We took the line assigned to our company, although we suffered losses. Our vehicle was hit, but the crew and I managed to get out," he said. 

He emphasized that the war for Ukraine continues.

"Eternal glory to those who died liberating Ukraine from the invaders!" he added.

According to activist Serhiy Sternenko, yesterday they handed over 4 more Mavic 3 FMC drones worth UAH 376 thousand to Sentsov for the 47th Brigade. These drones were purchased thanks to donations from Sternenko's followers.
