On Friday, Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky has arrived in Germany for a meeting of Ukraine Contact Group in Ramstein, which brings together Ukraine and its allies aiding in the war against Russia.
In his statement, Zelensky called for decisive action from the country’s partners. “We require the resolve of our allies and the means to halt the Russian air terror. The weaponry from the announced support packages must be delivered to combat brigades without further delay. We also need robust, long-range solutions from our partners to bring closer the just peace we are striving for,” he declared.
During his visit, Zelensky is scheduled to meet with U.S. secretary of defense Lloyd Austin and German defense minister Boris Pistorius. He will also hold talks with German chancellor Olaf Scholz.
Following the Ramstein meeting, Zelensky will attend the Ambrosetti Economic Forum in Italy, where he will mee with Italian business leaders and the country’s prime minister Giorgia Meloni.
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.
