The number of victims who died in the Russian missile strike on an educational facility in Poltava on September 3 has tragically risen to 54, with 297 more people reported injured. Rescue teams continue their efforts as up to five individuals are still believed to be trapped under the rubble.
Emergency service has cleared 1,760 tonnes of debris from the site but search and rescue operations remain ongoing as officials race against time to locate survivors.
The attack targeted the facility in broad daylight, leaving little time for civilians to seek shelter, as the missiles struck just moments after the air raid alert. One of the institute’s buildings was partially destroyed, leaving many trapped beneath the wreckage.
The Ukrainian government has launched a pre-trial investigation into the attack, citing violations of the country’s territorial integrity. Investigation suggests that the city was hit by two “Iskander-M” ballistic missiles.
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.
