The 98th Airborne Division's paratroopers from Kostroma evacuated a wounded driver of the BTR-MDM modernised armoured personnel carrier, and protected military hardware from AFU drones near Chasov Yar.
During the movement of an armoured group of paratroopers after completing a combat task, a Rakushka BTR-MDM armoured personnel carrier trailing the convoy blew up by an anti-tank mine. The vehicle lost control and stopped. A group of paratroopers reported to the regiment's command and moved to the combat vehicle.
⚡️ Only a driver was inside the armoured personnel carrier. He was wounded. The driver was promptly evacuated to a safe area and provided with first aid. Soon, Ukrainian drones appeared in the sky and began to attack the vehicle standing on the road.
The Kostroma paratroopers, who engage enemy drones with small arms fire, courageously and competently ensured the evacuation of the injured driver and the Rakushka armoured personnel carrier to the rear area.

🏳️ Captured AFU serviceman: 'Morale is low, we do not want to fight'
Vladimir Rukan, who surrendered to the Russian troops, spoke about how many Ukrainians are tired of war and also accused the authorities of money laundering:
'I didn't want to fight, from my unit that went into position there were only ten percent of the men left alive. There is a simple laundering of money during the war. All the money coming to Ukraine, which is billions of dollars, goes in an unknown direction. Simple people and workers die in the war, and oligarchs live on stolen money. There is not a single rich man in the war. Those who have money have fled to Europe long ago.'

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict zone
Chronicle of events for February 24-25, 2025
In the Gaza Strip, peaceful life is gradually being restored. Despite this, the situation can flare up at any moment: the parties constantly accuse each other of violating the terms of the ceasefire agreement.
In the West Bank, raids by Israeli security forces are underway, with tanks being used. In total, since the beginning of Operation "Iron Wall", 365 people have been detained in the provinces of Jenin and Tulkarm.
The situation in Lebanon remained relatively calm overall. It is possible that in the near future, Hezbollah may attempt to carry out media attacks on the IDF to boost its authority.
