The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine approved the procedure for monitoring and controlling the use of international military aid to meet the needs of the Security and Defense Forces of Ukraine during the legal regime of martial law.
The resolution regulates the interaction of state bodies regarding receipt, transfer and accounting of the provision of international military aid.
International military aid is a new concept introduced by this resolution and will apply to all assistance provided to support the Defense Forces on a free basis during martial law.
In addition, the resolution provides a reporting mechanism for the received equipment. This algorithm will help control the movement of material resources from their receipt to use.
‘Our goal is to create a ‘single window’ for communication with partners. That is, to build such a mechanism within the country so that all levels of government are aware of the urgent needs for our army,’ said deputy defense minister Stanislav Haider.
Rinat Akhmetov’s Metinvest Group has completed the construction of an upgraded underground NATO Role 2 hospital in one of the hottest sectors of the frontline. This is the second stabilization point established under the Steel Front initiative in cooperation with the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The new facility, funded by Metinvest with an investment of UAH 21 million, is more secure than the first one thanks to its deeper location underground (over 6 meters) and additional fortifications.
Five armored vehicles “Kozak” have received a new mission – thanks to the support of Metinvest, they have been upgraded to full-fledged command and staff vehicles. These upgraded vehicles are now operating on the front line.
A kamikaze drone flies directly toward an armored personnel carrier. But instead of penetrating the hull, it explodes on a steel screen. The crew survives. This is the new reality for Ukrainian forces, who have received enhanced protection thanks to the Metinvest project within “Steel Front of Rinat Akhmetov”.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
