UKRAINE – DECEMBER 9, 2025 Ukrainian drone operator struck three Russian soldiers hiding in an anti-tank trench. One of the soldiers assessed his injuries as fatal and chose to commit suicide rather than suffer, shooting himself in the head. The remaining soldiers were reportedly later eliminated by another grenade dropped from the drone.
If you’re thinking about suicide, please stop and recognize that your pain is not permanent, but this step would be. It may feel like there’s no other way, but there is hope, even if it’s hard to see right now. Your feelings are temporary, and with help, they can pass.
Talking about what you're going through might feel difficult, but it’s the first step toward healing. Don’t turn away from the people who want to support you. Life can offer more than what you're feeling right now, and the pain doesn't have to last forever. You deserve help, and it’s available.
If you need immediate help, please contact a helpline.
