The ‘European Solidarity’ faction demands to immediately ensure the full functioning of the parliament and convene a meeting of the Verkhovna Rada to discuss urgent issues.
The statement of the faction states that ‘Servant of the People’ MPs should stop blocking the full-fledged work of the parliament, and the government should immediately report for its activities.
‘Despite the daily Russian shelling of peaceful cities, the destruction of civilian infrastructure (primarily energy), the ruling majority in the Verkhovna Rada did not manage to gather for a meeting and discuss the strengthening of our fortifications, the provision of the Armed Forces with missiles, shells and drones. The demands of the patriotic opposition to convene the parliament and form an actual agenda are ignored,’ the statement says.
‘European Solidarity’ demands an urgent meeting of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine to discuss the following issues:
- The government’s report;
- Formation of a temporary investigative commission of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine regarding the construction of fortifications;
- Effective fundraising of local communities to support brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (No. 11075);
- Adoption of the law banning the Moscow Church in Ukraine (No. 8371);
- Appointment of parliamentary hearings regarding Ukraine’s fulfillment of conditions for joining the European Union;
- Adoption of a decision on full coverage of the work of the parliament and the admission of journalists (#10102, 10107).
The party statement also emphasizes that the parliament should meet not once or twice a month, but to work fully.
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.
