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

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. The plaintiff claims the document was falsified and that the sanctions are a tool of political persecution of the opposition, contrary to international norms. Government representatives deny the allegations and insist their actions were lawful. Journalists of Bukvy were present at the hearing.
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”.
