Defenders of Kyiv prepare to guard northern border

The soldiers of the Detached Presidential Brigade named after Bohdan Khmelnytsky practiced forcing a water obstacle, taking control of the opposite bank, ferrying a self-propelled howitzer, and inflicting artillery damage.

“All this takes place in the conditions of imitation of real combat operations: shelling, explosions, and rapid changes of the situation,” Ukraine’s Defense Ministry said in a report.
