On April 24, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky met with Chancellor of the Exchequer of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Jeremy Hunt who is now in Kyiv.
Zelensky thanked for the support of Ukraine and the largest package of military aid from Great Britain worth 500 million pounds, which was announced the day before.
The President also noted the decision of Great Britain to increase the financing of military expenses of the government of the United Kingdom to 2.5% of GDP.
‘Thank you for such a step, for a decision that will not only contribute to helping Ukraine in the future, but will also strengthen security in Europe. It is very important. It would be good if other European states also increased their defense spending. This would significantly strengthen the defense capability of Europe in the face of possible challenges,’ Zelensky said.
The sides also discussed the sanctions policy, in particular, the expansion of sanctions against the Russian Federation and the impossibility of circumventing them by Russia.
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.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. 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.
