“Today, about 25-30 people gathered on Kulikovo Field in Odessa from among the visitors who go there almost every Sunday. Taking advantage of the opportunity, a group arrived there, equipped with a special new complex, which was provided to us from Kyiv for the duration of the May war. This modern complex makes it possible, using an unmanned drone, to fly around the scene of events and digitize everyone’s face, register and establish their identity online.
Today, the identification of all the persons lasted only a few minutes, we are delighted with the result, even our colleagues from the OSCE were identified who were in civilian clothes.
We plan to use this complex on May 2 and 9 and have high hopes for it,” Forostyak said.
