Petro Poroshenko, former Ukrainian president and leader of the European Solidarity party, has teamed up with the Sprava Gromad civic group to deliver new equipment to Ukrainian troops at the front lines.
“Every week sees us getting new equipment to the front lines. No heat wave can stop this tradition of ours,” said Poroshenko.
The equipment, worth over 26 million hryvnias, includes 10 portable shower and laundry units, two Foden trucks, three excavators, and 27 quad bikes to aid in the evacuation of the wounded.
“We will take this equipment to the Kharkiv, Donetsk, and Zaporizhzhya regions, where things are literally scorching hot right now,” added the politician, who has been actively helping the Ukrainian army since the early days of the invasion.
Poroshenko’s aid and charity efforts are estimated at over 5.4 billion hryvnias
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.
