Putin’s new plan: Russians to move into occupied Ukrainian regions

Russian president Vladimir Putin has issued a decree offering “social guarantees” to Russian citizens willing to relocate to the occupied regions of Ukraine. According to the Center for National Resistance, the Kremlin is offering hefty payments ranging from three to five million rubles to attract those ready to make the move—especially specialists who bring their families along for the ride.

The targeted areas include the war-torn regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, and Crimea. The occupation authorities are primarily looking for workers skilled in building fortifications, transporting cargo, and construction experts to “rebuild” infrastructure—ironically, the same infrastructure Russian forces have devastated during the ongoing conflict.

But here’s the catch: Russian authorities are struggling to fully set up their occupation administrations as there are not many local collaborators eager to fill roles in these puppet governments and other sham structures.

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.
