Despite the frequent Russian strikes, the mayor of Kharkiv Ihor Terekhov claims that neither the authorities nor the military currently see the need to evacuate residents from the city.
He noted that the evacuation is already taking place in the region and many people are coming to Kharkiv from the frontline areas.
Currently, about 1.3 million people live in the city, and, according to the mayor, there is no reason to evacuate yet.
‘So far, neither we nor the military see any reason to evacuate from Kharkiv. This is part of the Russian psychological operation to intimidate and make the townspeople nervous,’ Terekhov stated.
The mayor admitted that Russia is now using new types of munitions to reach its goal. He also noted that the destruction of the energy infrastructure is significant, but the unity of the city residents gives reason to believe that Kharkiv will withstand even the most difficult times.
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.

He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
