During his parliament speech, the former president of Ukraine and leader of the ‘European Solidarity’ party Petro Poroshenko called on the authorities to comply with their obligations to European partners who provide Ukraine with financial support within the framework of the Ukraine Facility program.
Poroshenko reminded that for the European Union, adherence to democratic values, media freedom and political pluralism are the red lines that cannot be violated.
The former president noted that the support of Europe is of strategic importance for Ukraine.
‘Today’s vote on the Framework Agreement on the support mechanism is not about the diplomatic successes of the authorities. This is not the success of Poroshenko or Zelensky. This is not the success of the previous or current Verkhovna Rada. This is honor and respect for the victims of Ukraine in Bucha, Borodyanka, Izyum, and Mariupol. And this is the price that Ukraine has paid and is paying for the high honor of becoming a member of the European Union and, I hope, a member of the NATO,’ Poroshenko stated.
He also added that Ukraine assumes a great responsibility. In his opinion, the task of the Verkhovna Rada is to realize and implement 69 reforms, 10 investment projects and 146 indicators and benchmarks in a very short time.

On October 6, the Administrative Cassation Court within the Supreme Court of Ukraine continued hearing case No. 990/80/25, in which the fifth President and leader of the party “European Solidarity”, Petro Poroshenko, seeks to have Presidential Decree No. 81/2025 from February 12, 2025 — enacting sanctions by the decision of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) — declared illegal and annulled.

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”.
