On Tuesday, Ukraine’s goverment approved a new policy of one-off payments to the families of fallen soldiers and veterans who have become disabled. According to MP Oleksii Honcharenko, the update aims to fast-track the application and is part of a law that went into effect on April 4.
Under the updated rules, families must now submit claims for compensation to the Ministry of Veterans Affairs. This can be done through local administrative service centers (CNAP), the Diia app or the Unified State Register of War Veterans, once an electronic submission system is in place.
The Ministry of Veterans Affairs will handle the approval process and transfer funds directly to the applicant’s bank account. The decree also grants the Ministry the authority to coordinate efforts between national and local government bodies to ensure the smooth execution of these payments.
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.
