Petro Poroshenko has announced the contract with Ukrainian manufacturers of construction machinery. The former president will purchase excavators and hand them over to the Ukrainian army for fortification work.
Poroshenko systematically supplies construction equipment to the Armed Forces. The excavators are already working in Kharkiv and Donetsk regions and in the northern direction.
While at the production site, he noted the availability of everything that is needed at the front – new, modern, powerful, Ukrainian-made excavators.
‘When we started the program for the purchase of equipment for the construction of fortifications, we were looking for used equipment from abroad. It required a lot of time and resources to restore and repair. Therefore, our team decided to buy new TDC excavators from a Ukrainian manufacturer,’ Poroshenko explained.
The former president is convinced that investment in the Ukrainian production is the best way to support both the economy and the army.
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.
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.
