The Security Service of Ukraine, SBU, said on Thusday it has arrested a Russian spy who helped pinpoint Russian attack on Ukrainian military positions in Kharkiv. The saboteur spied on the makeshift Defense Forces bases used for combat operations in the Kharkiv region.
Russian intelligence allegedly reached out ot the 42-year-old Kharkiv resident after thye found he was expressing his pro-Russian sentiment on social media. They eventually recruited him to spy on Ukrainian troops. The man used Google Maps to record the positions and send geo tags to his Russian handlers.
The SBU caught him red-handed and seized his mobile phone, which was used for transmitting intelligence information.
The man now faces treason charges that can send him to prison for life and see his property confiscated.
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.

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.
