In the central park of the town of Vyshneve in the Kyiv region, a monument to Baba Yaga with a drone-bomber was unveiled, reports RBC-Ukraine. This monument is a token of gratitude from the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine to the town of Vyshneve for its support of the Ukrainian army.

The presentation of the sculpture was attended by the Deputy Head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense Vadym Skibitsky and the mayor of the city, Illia Dikov. The initiator of the monument's creation was volunteer and blogger Ihor Omelyanovych, who noted that soldiers of the Russian army call large drones "Baba Yaga". Therefore, the initiators created a monument with this literary character. According to the volunteer, this sculpture will help raise funds for the army.

Earlier, the UOJ wrote that a 7-meter didukh was installed on the Maidan to replace the Christmas tree.
