Ukrainian soldiers survived two months of being encircled by Russian forces.
The only way to get supplies to them was using drones, their battalion said.
The soldiers were fighting on one of the most brutal battlefronts of the war.

Trapped Ukrainian soldiers who were surrounded by Russian forces survived for more than two months in large part due to drone deliveries, their battalion said on Wednesday.
