Ukraine's Corps Deploys UGVs

Ukraine’s Third Army Corps fields unmanned “Hyena” ground vehicles to strike Russian positions.
Brigadier General Andrii Biletskyi aims to replace about one-third of frontline troops with UGVs by year-end.
The defence ministry reported ground drones completed over 50,000 logistics and evacuation missions in 2026.

Summary

Church Sends Relic

The Russian Orthodox Church dispatched a fragment of Grand Prince Dmitry Donskoy’s right hand to front-line troops.
President Vladimir Putin inspected the relic on Aug. 20, 2026 and called it “absolutely unique.”
Sergei Kiriyenko, Putin’s first deputy chief of staff, kissed the relic at Donetsk’s World War II memorial ceremony.
Critics claim the church broke religious protocol by venerating Donskoy’s remains before the September parliamentary election.
