Former Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko carries on with his effort to aid Ukrainian troops. On Thursday, he delivered a new batch of military equipment to the frontlines. Poroshenko argues it is his priority these days.
“There is nothing more important right now than our army. This is priority number one. That’s why today my team and I are near the front lines in Kharkiv and Donetsk regions, delivering another batch of assistance to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This shipment alone includes nearly 700 FPV drones of various configurations. We’ve also brought laundry and shower units, more than 20 Mavic drones with night vision capabilities, Bluetti power stations, and ‘Shatro’ trench-based electronic warfare systems,” said the politician.
During the pass-over ceremony, he touched upon the issue of decommunizing town names in Ukraine. He praised his fellow lawmakers who helped pass the renaming law while he was visiting the frontline positions.
“My colleagues from European Solidarity stepped in and delivered a record number of votes for the resolution on renaming places. As a result, we have successfully derussified 327 settlements. This marks another stage in the fight for decolonization, which we started back in 2014,” Poroshenko added.
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.
