The Kharkiv City Council has decided to exempt city entrepreneurs from paying the land and real estate taxes.
As reported by the press service, from April 1 to June 30 this year, individuals and legal entities, as well as entrepreneurs, will not pay tax after calculating rent for communal land plots.
The real estate tax was also abolished, not including land plots owned by legal entities.
In addition, single tax payers were granted a 100% reduction in tax liabilities.
According to the city council, such measures are intended to support local businesses and citizens in difficult conditions caused by regular Russian attacks.
Kharkiv mayor Ihor Terekhov noted that these benefits will lead to the loss of about 1 billion hryvnias from the city budget, but the state has promised to compensate for the insufficient amount.
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.
