The former president of Ukraine and leader of the ‘European Solidarity’ party Petro Poroshenko proposed a plan of urgent measures to protect Ukraine from an energy collapse.
Poroshenko noted that, first of all, it is necessary to support those who are trying to solve energy supply problems on their own. He is convinced that energy decentralization will save Ukraine.
This approach involves attracting financial assistance from partners and budget funds for the construction of small power stations in territorial communities. The communities should receive preferential loans to ensure uninterrupted power supply of critical needs, including elevators, water supply, and drainage.
The government should urgently introduce a draft law to completely eliminate any customs duties on imported energy equipment, so that local authorities can develop decentralization of the energy sector.
In addition, Poroshenko proposes to maximally simplify the rules of design and commissioning of power equipment. Ukraine needs a tax holiday for manufacturers of energy equipment and equipment, as well as a moratorium on inspections of enterprises engaged in the production, installation and maintenance of energy.
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.
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.
