In September alone, Russian troops employed weaponry containing dangerous chemical substances 250 times against Ukrainian soldiers. The grim figure was revealed by Ukraine’s General Staff on Tuesday.
“The enemy is using munitions filled with hazardous chemical agents such as K-51 and RG-VO, which are crowd control tools and prohibited for use in warfare. Additionally, a significant portion of the munitions contains dangerous chemical compounds of an unspecified type,” said the General Staff in its statement.
Since February 2023, the use of chemical weapons by Russian forces has become systematic, reaching a total of 4,228 recorded incidents.
“This grossly violates the rules of warfare and disregards the norms and obligations of the Chemical Weapons Convention regarding the prohibition of development, production, stockpiling, and use of chemical weapons and their destruction,” concluded the General Staff.
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.
