Quote: "Here is unique footage of the evacuation of our reconnaissance drones from the battlefield using drones. The drone war is reaching a new level – Private Nemesis rescues Privates Leleka and Mara [referring to names of the drones – ed.]. In reality, it was a difficult and risky operation, but it was brilliantly executed by the [drone] pilots of the 63rd Brigade's UAV unit."
Details: Incidentally, the 13th Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine Khartiia recently successfully evacuated a wounded soldier using a ground-based robotic complex. The robot in question is the Ukrainian logistics robot Tarhan, which has been converted into an evacuation vehicle.
The joint operation was carried out in the Khartiia's area of responsibility north of Kharkiv. The evacuation route's total distance was 12 km.

YouTube says its ecosystem created 490k jobs and added $55B to the US GDP in 2024
YouTube released a report on Tuesday that shows just how influential the creator economy has become. YouTube says that its creative ecosystem contributed over $55 billion to the US GDP and supported more than 490,000 full time jobs, according to research by Oxford Economics. When YouTube talks about its creative ecosystem, it's not just talking about creators. This includes anyone who works with YouTube creators (video editors, assistants, publicists), as well as people who work for creator-oriented companies (Patreon, Spotter, Linktree, etc). But these figures continue to grow, even in a time when venture capitalists are no longer pouring money into the industry like they were about four years ago. In 2022, YouTube and Oxford Economics reported that its creative ecosystem about 390,000 jobs and contributed over $35 billion to the US GDP, meaning that these 2024 figures jumped by 100,000 jobs and $20 billion. These numbers are so large because YouTube provides the most consistent and lucrative opportunities for creators. Those who qualify for YouTube's Partner Program can earn 55% of revenue earned from ads; even for mid-range creators (not the MrBeasts of the world), that can amount to several thousand dollars a month. While TikTok and YouTube Shorts have tried to monetize their platforms, the industry hasn't figured out a way to reliably distribute ad revenue among short form creators. As both a fast-growing and often misunderstood sector, creators have been advocating for American institutions from banks to the government to better serve their industry. Some creators struggle to qualify for business credit cards or get certain business loans, regardless of their demonstrable financial solvency.

Trump plans to keep Starlink at the White House operational despite rift with Musk
President Donald Trump said he would maintain the White House's operational ties to Starlink, the high-speed internet service owned by Musk's company SpaceX, despite their recent falling out. Speaking with reporters on Monday, the president was asked if he would split from the physical impact of Musk – such as getting rid the Tesla Model S that he purchased from Musk in March or Starlink technologies. 'I may move the Tesla around a little bit, but I don't think we'll be doing that with Starlink. It's a good service,' Trump told reporters on Monday. The president's comment arrives after he threatened to pull government contracts with Musk's companies, which are not only lucrative for the tech mogul but some are essential for the government – such as Starlink. Starlink provides quick internet access without the need for fiber cables or cellular towers by using low Earth orbiting satellites. When deployed, the satellites send signals to systems on the ground, providing internet access. A database of government contracts indicates the U.S. engaged in $4.1 million in contracts for Starlink in 2022, $1.9 million in 2023, less than $500,000 in 2024, and $22,000 as of June 2025. At least six federal agencies have active contracts with SpaceX for Starlink technologies. That includes the the Department of Defense, which has come to rely heavily on Starlink's services, according to NPR. When Musk began working as a senior adviser and head of the Department of Government Efficiency for the Trump administration, he reportedly deployed, or suggested deploying, Starlink technologies at the White House and other agencies. The General Services Administration considered using Starlink for internet access at the request of Musk's staff, NBC News reported. The Federal Aviaition Administraiton has begun testing Starlink technologies at several 'non safety' sites after Musk criticized the FAA's potential contract with Verizon, according to CNN. Tim Farrar, the president of the consulting company Telecom, Media and Finance Associates, Inc., told NPR that it would be tough for the government to move away from Starlink because other telecom companies are finding it 'very difficult' to catch up to it's abilities. Starlink has been instrumental in allowing people in rural areas to obtain internet access and helpful for militaries engaged in battle – the most prominent example being the Ukrainian army's use of Starlink to help fight against Russia's full-scale invasion.
