Ukrainian Special Forces Rescue Family Stranded for 15 Months in War Zone

Destruction of a dam on the Dnipro River in Ukraine brought devastation to many, but freedom to some stranded in Russian-occupied territory.
The flood caused by the dam destruction allowed Ukrainian special forces soldiers to rescue 132 people from Russian-occupied territory.
Kateryna Krupych and her children were stranded on a river island for 15 months, surviving by fishing and scavenging for food.
Ukrainian special forces soldiers dropped food and water to people stranded on rooftops in occupied areas using drones, before rescuing them in motorboats.
Ms. Krupych and her children were rescued by Ukrainian soldiers and reunited with her father and neighbor who were also stranded on the island.
