The incident occurred in the Tiahynka community. The employee went to the village of Burgunka with the necessary things: bread, drinking water and hygiene products.

«To avoid Russian drones, he drove when it was already dark. At a fork in the road, the tractor came across Russian «petal» mines. The detonation damaged the vehicle and trailer. Miraculously, the driver was not injured,» said Prokudin.

Prokudin said the humanitarian aid was delivered and thanked the employee for his courage.
