Watch: Ukrainian soldier rescued from battlefield by robot
Credit: K-2 combat group of the 54th separate mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Ukrainian soldiers are being rescued from the front lines by remote-controlled robots, a video has shown. The 20th K-2 regiment, a robot-led unit, said it had evacuated four injured troops across four days using robotic systems, proving Kyiv's growing success in deploying machines on the battlefield. In drone footage of the rescue, the unmanned ground vehicle (UGV), known as Ardal, approaches a wounded soldier lying in long grass and clutching his leg. He manages to heave himself into its trailer and the robot – operated remotely from a bunker miles away – carries him away from the front to an evacuation team. Celebrating the unit's recent success, Kyrylo Veres, its commander, said: 'Four days, four lives saved. These are our comrades from infantry and assault units serving with us on the line. Unmanned systems have already changed warfare in the air and at sea. Now it's time for ground robots.' Credit: K-2 combat group of the 54th separate mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine The Ukrainian-produced Ardal robot is designed specifically for transporting wounded soldiers and carrying supplies across challenging terrain. Small and hard to detect, it can travel up to 30km and carry up to 200kg. In early April, days before it was officially approved for military use, Ardal had its first success. Dodging artillery and drones, it evacuated three wounded troops stranded behind enemy lines after several human-led rescue missions had failed. Ukraine is one of the first countries in the world to deploy robots to the battlefield to rescue casualties and deliver critical supplies to the front. It is also the first military to form a standalone drone force – the Unmanned Systems Forces, of which the K-2 regiment is part. Kyiv pledged to deploy 15,000 robots this year in an effort to help overcome its manpower shortages at the front, where Ukrainian troops are often outmanned by Russians at a rate of three to one. By replacing humans with machines, Ukraine is hoping to gain a technological edge in a war of grinding attrition and save lives. Compared to drones, which have become ubiquitous to the battlefield in Ukraine, UGV technology is still new and not yet widely deployed – but analysts say that is quickly changing. Instead of being used in assault operations, ground robots have so far proved most effective in logistical and support roles. The increasing use of UGVs on the battlefield has increased the depth of the so-called 'kill zone' on both sides of the front, making transportation potentially lethal. The 13th Khartiiia brigade, a unit that carried out Ukraine's first robot-only assault in late December, successfully evacuated a wounded man using a ground robot in May. In the first known footage of such a mission, the Tarhan (Cockroach) ground system carried the soldier 12km from an inaccessible section of the front to an evacuation point and on to hospital.

Whole Foods' distributor supplying stores on 'limited basis' after cyberattack
Whole Foods' distributor supplying stores on 'limited basis' after cyberattack Show Caption Hide Caption Whole Foods to open new locations as part of global expansion Whole Foods Market is continuing its expansion in 2025, adding to its more than 535 locations across the US, Canada and the UK. unbranded - Newsworthy Whole Foods and other U.S. grocers are only being partially stocked as a major food distributor continues to grapple with a recent cyber attack, a recent earnings call revealed. North American wholesale distributor United Natural Foods confirmed this week that it was forced to take some of its systems offline after noticing unauthorized activity. At a financial quarter meeting Tuesday, June 10, CEO Sandy Douglas said the wholesale distributor is only supplying customers on a "limited basis" amid the crisis. "We are partnering with customers across the country and across our formats in various short term mode to serve their needs as best as we possibly can," Douglas told investors. "Any way that we can help them meet their needs, we're doing." The company is working with the FBI and other authorities to determine how to resume services and why the technology defenses failed, according to Douglas. "We just got penetrated, so we will be continuing to look at every aspect of our defense, every aspect of how our tools are working, and what may be necessary to bolster it going forward, because it's clearly an area that requires a tremendous amount of focus from companies today," he said. Users on social media have reported shelves being empty at some Whole Foods locations with signs apologizing for the inconvenience and promising to resupply soon. A Whole Foods spokesperson told USA TODAY on Monday, June 9 that the supermarket chain is working to restock its shelves as fast as possible and said it apologizes for any inconveniences. CEO says it informed investors as soon as it could When asked why the company hesitated to inform investors about the cyberattack and system shutdown, Douglas denied there being a delay. Douglas clarified company officials noticed unauthorized activity in its systems on June 5 and investigated whether it was isolated. By the afternoon of June 6, the company made the decision to lock its systems down. On June 9, it filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to inform shareholders before the market opened. "So there is no way that we could have communicated any faster, and there was no trading," Douglas added. He also he was unable to confirm whether the shutdown has required customers to break contracts, adding "I wouldn't be able to factually answer that question, even if I was inclined to disclose it." "The focus is making sure we serve the customers and have them be able to do whatever they need to do the best they can in this environment," he said.
