A Ukrainian ground robot usually used to carry ammunition and supplies to the front was sent on a different mission: carrying casualties out.
The K-2 brigade deployed the unmanned ground vehicle after a Russian FPV drone struck a house, leaving people wounded.
"Its task is not cargo. Its task is people," the brigade said of the robot's new role.
The use of ground drones for medical evacuation is growing in Ukraine, where such machines can reach areas too dangerous for human rescuers.
