The video features archival footage from May 9, 2014, depicting the entry of nine Ukrainian BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicles from the 72nd Brigade into the city of Mariupol and the initial fighting there. The video has become relevant again today, as Major General Mykhailo Drapatiy, who participated in those events in 2014, has been appointed the new Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. It's worth noting that many foreign viewers are unaware that the current war in Ukraine actually began in 2014, when Ukraine was a unified state. The BMP-2 was developed in the early 1980s and is still used by both the Ukrainian and Russian armies.

Ukrainian media have released footage showing the first attempt by a Ukrainian drone to strike the warehouses of the Russian online marketplace OZON in Zelenodolsk. Ukrainian drones had previously attacked warehouses belonging to the company Wildberries as well. It remains unclear why Ukrainian drones are targeting these facilities; OZON and Wildberries are e-commerce companies. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the strikes on Wildberries were a response to the company supplying the Russian army. It is worth noting, however, that there is currently no evidence of such supplies being provided to the troops. According to media reports, these attacks are being carried out either due to Ukraine's lack of success on the battlefield or as an attempt to inflict economic damage.
