Anti-corruption activist Shabunin is being sent to Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi to hang anti-drone nets: he considers this pressure from “Zelensky’s security forces”

Shabunin noted that among the soldiers performing this task, one is missing fingers, another has serious hearing impairments, two others cannot use ladders due to injuries, and one is unable to shoot due to partial vision loss.
