The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine approved a project on amendments to Article 11 of the Law ‘On the Legal Status of the Missing Persons’.
The amendments provide for the creation of search groups.
‘The draft law proposes to define, for the period of the martial law and within one year from the date of its termination or cancellation, the powers of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine regarding the creation of search teams in agreement with the Coordination Staff for the Treatment of Prisoners of War,’ the statement says.
The project envisages giving the Coordination Staff the right to negotiate with humanitarian missions, public associations, persons, etc., who carry out activities in the temporarily occupied territories for the purpose of searching for persons who have disappeared under special circumstances.
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.
