The sequence uses symbolic storytelling to depict a night time encounter on a bridge over dark water, accompanied by a childlike voice calling for help.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"751\" data-end=\"1038\">The narration describes a traveller moving along an empty road at night, crossing a swaying bridge over black water. Beneath the bridge, a faint cry is heard, calling \u201cMother, come\u201d. The traveller pauses and listens as the sound repeats, suggesting the presence of a hidden figure below.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1040\" data-end=\"1408\">As the traveller looks beneath the bridge, mist moves across the water and the voice continues. The atmosphere intensifies as the figure approaches the edge, with cold wind rising and the cries growing louder. The narrative describes a pale shape emerging from the dark water, followed by the revelation of a \u201cpotercha\u201d, a folkloric spirit depicted as a drowned child.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1410\" data-end=\"1726\">The account continues with the figure attempting to pull the traveller into the depths. The traveller struggles, grasping at roots along the bank and eventually pulling free, escaping the water. The cries subside briefly before a final warning is heard from below, stating that escape will not be possible next time.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1728\" data-end=\"2052\">The video concludes with repeated imagery of the voice calling from the darkness, reinforcing the symbolic theme of persistent threat. Ukrainian sources did not provide operational details of specific targets within this release, though the footage is presented as part of ongoing drone strike activity along the front line.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2054\" data-end=\"2218\">The brigade encouraged viewers to follow operational updates through its online results platform \u201cPidrakhuyka\u201d, which tracks confirmed strike outcomes in real time.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2220\" data-end=\"2398\">The material was released by the 414th Separate Brigade \u201cBirds of Madyar\u201d on 10 April 2026.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u0428\u043e\u0431\u043b\u0430 \u0442\u0438\u0436\u043d\u044f, \u0435\u043f\u0456\u0437\u043e\u0434 38. \u041c\u0456\u0441\u0442\u043e\u043a, \u043f\u0456\u0442\u044c\u043c\u0430, \u043f\u043e\u0442\u0435\u0440\u0447\u0430 \u0442\u044f\u0433\u043d\u0435 \u0434\u043e \u0434\u043d\u0430. \u0417\u043d\u0456\u043c\u043a\u0443\u044e\u0442\u044c \u043f\u0456\u043b\u043e\u0442\u0438 414 \u043e\u0431\u0440 \u041f\u0442\u0430\u0445\u0438 \u041c\u0430\u0434\u044f\u0440\u0430\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Jtrot6wVi5s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(DONETSK OBLAST) &#8211; Ukrainian drone operators from the 414th Separate Brigade, known as \u201cBirds of Madyar\u201d, have released a stylised video combining frontline footage with a narrative soundtrack, illustrating ongoing operations against Russian forces in occupied territory.
