The former president of Ukraine and leader of the ‘European Solidarity’ party Petro Poroshenko called on Germany to support invitation of Ukraine to NATO at Washington summit.
Poroshenko said this during his meeting with the head of the foreign affairs committee of the Bundestag, Michael Roth.
He also stated this during his speech and discussion organized by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation. According to Poroshenko, the Bundestag should adopt a special resolution and appeal to other NATO member countries to support Ukraine’s invitation to the Alliance.
He also noted that Russia has destroyed international law, and the only mechanism that allows preserving peace is Ukraine’s membership in NATO.
‘I propose that the Bundestag adopt a resolution calling on all NATO member states to accept Ukraine, to invite it,’ Petro Poroshenko said.
The former president also called on Germany to provide Taurus missiles and air defense systems.
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.
