Funeral held in Kyiv on June 19 for Ukrainian actor Yuriy Felipenko, who was killed at the frontline
A funeral was held in Kyiv on June 19 for Ukrainian actor Yuriy Felipenko, who was killed at the frontline. Felipenko was well known for his role in the 2024 television series “A Promise to God” before joining the Achilles Strike Drone Battalion, then part of Ukraine’s 92nd Assault Brigade, in April 2024. Having since been upgraded to a separate regiment and one of the founding units of the Line of Drones initiative, Achilles is one of the most effective drone units in the country. Felipenko's drone team was featured in a report by the Kyiv Independent on Ukraine's use of first-person view (FPV) drones against Russian infantry assaults in December 2024 as they defended the area around Kupiansk in Kharkiv Oblast. #local #ukraine
