I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video, I will tell you what happened on the seven-hundred-sixty-seventh day of the war.
Day 767: Mar 31
Today, there is a lot of interesting news from the Bakhmut direction.
The most intense fighting is taking place on the northern flank of Chasiv Yar.
The situation in Bohdanivka is developing rapidly. Previously, I reported that Russian forces struggled to generate any gains in the direction of the village over the last month, making this area rather stationary. However, recently, Russian sources reported that Russian forces conducted a series of powerful assaults in and around the village. Ukrainian sources confirm that Russians used artillery support supplemented by drones to strike Ukrainian positions and undermine the overall Ukrainian defenses within the village. Ukrainian fighters reported that the Russian commanders resorted to pure infantry assaults, likely in order to preserve the future. Nonetheless, these assaults did not give the expected results, Ukrainians managed to halt Russian attacks and force them to dig in and set up positions in trenches and basements inside the small captured portion of the village. If we look at the topographic map, we can see that Ukrainians control the heights around the village, which enable them to detect and strike Russian forces in the lowlands and hamper their advances by inflicting severe losses from elevated areas at which Russians struggle to return fire. Russian sources claimed that Russian forces achieved a one-hundred-meter advance within the village. The total depth of the Russian advancement over the previous months, therefore, reached just three hundred meters in a village that stretched along a road for over three kilometers. Such a pace of advancement is clearly too slow, and it would take Russians many more months to take Bohdanivka with this costly approach.
However, a little bit to the south of Bohdanivka, the situation is very dynamic. Here, Russians tried to flank Ukrainian positions in Bohdanivka from the south along the railways and stretch Ukrainian troops along the contract line by attacking Bohdanivka from two axes of advance. The goal of this series of attacks was to force Ukrainians to pull back from the village. To achieve this, Russians first conducted heavy aerial bombardment of Ukrainian positions located to the south of Bohdanivka, close to Chasiv Yar. Russian bombardments with FAB glide bombs are extremely destructive, capable of making any targeted Ukrainian positions unsustainable for long-term defensive operations. This bombing eventually set conditions conducive for Russian assaults. The main assault started by sending a group of four Russian BMD armored personnel carriers to land their infantry at a treeline near the railway embankment. However, Ukrainian fighters spotted the first vehicle and destroyed it on the road. The second vehicle managed to unload its infantry, but it got abandoned after an artillery shell landed close to it, likely inflicting some damage. The third vehicle triggered a landmine, which immobilized the vehicle, although Russian infantry was still able to unload and proceed to secure positions in the tree line. Finally, the fourth BMD was struck by an FPV drone, although without significant damage, allowing it to unload the infantry and have the luck of being the only one in the column to drive back to a safe zone.
Now, with these new positions secured, the Russians established a one-kilometer-long bridgehead that could enable them to attack Ukrainians in two separate axes of advance: toward Chasiv Yar and toward Bohdanivka. Right now, Russian troops are around five hundred meters away from the eastern edges of the town, with a small forest separating them from the main Ukrainian positions. This gives an advantage to the Ukrainians, as Russians can't launch mechanized assaults through the area, restricting any possible Russian attacks to pure infantry assaults. Russian soldiers, therefore, have to face fortified Ukrainian positions in the town, which they can't do effectively without proper fire support from tanks and infantry fighting vehicles. That is why Russian forces will have to expand their zone of control to the south of the forest if they want to assault the town. Russian control of this area can, however, be problematic for Ukrainians in Bohdanivka because Russians can uppercut them from the south of the village with a flank attack from the forest and force them to withdraw. For this reason...

Frequently Asked Questions
Can drones capture night shots?
Answer: Yes. But we have been doing it for years. For decades, we've been taking photos at night.
But there's a catch. Night photography requires specialized equipment. Any camera under $10k is not capable of night photography.
Light bounces back when it hits an object in a series wavelengths.
These wavelengths merge to form white light at long distances from source.
This is why your eyes can see colors even if the sun is many millions of miles away.
On the contrary, when light strikes an object close to its source, it reflects in a narrow band of wavelengths. These wavelengths bounce right back to us without overlapping.
This means that objects appearing brighter are closer together. This is why objects seem to glow when they are exposed to black light.
The energy an object absorbs determines how much light it reflects. If light hits an object, it may reflect less red light than more blue.
Blue light is the most sensitive for the human eye. Therefore, objects that are viewed under black lights will look more blue.
What does all this have to do about drones? A very bright light source is required if you are trying to capture dark areas, such as a forest, or cave.
A normal lamp will not be strong enough to illuminate the whole scene. It will only create a shadowed scene.
If you want a good picture, you'll need to use a strobe instead. Also, a small flashgun won't be as convenient for you.
Speedlights are also known for their flashes of light that create a stroboscopic effect.
You can see the light pulse across your screen when we say "stroboscopic". The faster the rate, the better quality of the picture.
We won't be discussing how to set up Speedlights here. There are many tutorials available online.
We will tell you to make sure that the subject is properly illuminated in order for a clear photograph.
This is achieved by aiming the beam at 45 degrees. You can adjust the flashgun's intensity by moving its head.
Once you have chosen the best setting, hold your gun steady while you press the shutter release.
Next, close to the subject, release the shutter. This will set off the flashgun to start a second burst.
While the first burst illuminates the subject, the second one will capture the moment after the first burst has passed.
The result is continuous exposure, where both bursts are recorded.
Now that you're comfortable taking photos during the day let's get to night photography.
So far I have covered all you need to know about taking night photos.
The color balance is the last thing we need to address.
Most people assume that all the images taken at night will be too dark.
It's true. But it also applies to daytime photographs.
It doesn’t matter if you’re taking photos at dawn, dusk or both; the camera will always take a darker picture.
Which drone is best for beginners?
It is easy to fly a drone, and the best drones for beginners. These include drones equipped with an FPV (first-person view) camera, allowing users to control the drone via a smartphone app remotely.
Some quadcopters are designed specifically for aerial photography. You might consider a multirotor model if you plan to explore more advanced features, like autonomous flight mode and obstacle avoidance.
Two types of drones can be distinguished in terms of their price: those that are cheap at $100 or more and those that are expensive at $300.
The cheapest models have a shorter range and a shorter battery life. However, the best models offer better performance and longer flight times.
Most beginners prefer to go for cheaper options as these are easier to handle and learn how to operate. If you plan on spending hours flying your drone, you might be interested in a higher-end model.
Which drone can be used for aerial photography
There are two options if you want to do aerial photography. Either buy an expensive camera package with a gimbal stabilizer or rent a small remote-controlled helicopter.
The first option is great for those who plan to film a video or film. It gives you full control over the final shots. With the second option, you'll have to pay more and be much more dependent on the pilot.
What happens when you want to make sure that your shot looks flawless even though it's not your camera? Drones are the answer.
A drone is tiny, autonomous aircraft that can fly without the input of an operator and take photos or videos.
They can fly close enough to buildings or structures to record footage or capture images. They can also fly low in the air over crowds to capture photographs of people.
Drones make great aerial photography and videography tools. You can also use them to market your business by creating amazing visuals that don't require much manpower or equipment.
They can be placed in strategic places to capture amazing imagery. They can also be flown remotely making them very easy to use.
Some companies even hire drones to photograph weddings. These drone-flying wedding photographers can capture stunning photographs of the bride or groom from above the ceremony area.
They can also fly them directly to the guests to capture family portraits. To capture breathtaking views of the venue, they can fly them through reception areas.
These activities are perfect for promotional material and event coverage. Drones are also great for making short films. You could use one to show clients why your company is better than yours.
Drones are becoming more popular for videography and aerial photography. If you are looking to be a professional photographer, then a Drone might be the right choice.

Tips for Beginners: How to Take Amazing Drone Photos
Tips for taking great drone photos:
Space is essential for safe flying of your drone. Keep it clear of trees and buildings.
Before you start flying, make sure that you know where it is. Drone flying can make it easy to lose your way. If you don’t know where your drone has flown, you might end up on a cliff edge, or in someone’s backyard.
Remember to be safe when you fly! To see what's around you, always keep your drone close by. Never fly at night or under poor weather conditions (like heavy rain).
Bring extra batteries if you plan to do long flights. Always keep spare batteries handy. This ensures that you never run out of battery power mid-flight.
Use good quality lenses. Clearer images are made with higher resolution lenses. A camera lens with a low pixel count, such as those found on most smartphones, will blur the image.
Start small. Start small with your first video. After feeling confident with these, you can go on to making longer videos.
Avoid using your drone indoors. Drones cannot be used indoors. They can cause damage to walls, furniture, and other objects.
Practice makes perfect! You can do many things with your drone. Try different angles to capture the same scene. Or you can fly it around your home.
Get creative! While you may think you need to stick to the rules to make great drone pictures, there is no rule book about photography.
Learn more about how your camera settings work. Cameras are equipped with many advanced features. These settings can enhance the quality and appeal of your photos.
Be patient! Sometimes it takes patience, even though you want to go the fastest route.
Have fun. Make sure you remember why your drone was purchased. You can enjoy flying your drone.
