70% of wounded soldiers return to active duty after treatment, according to Andriy Kazmirchuk, the Commander of Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. While outcomes vary across different fronts, this remarkable figure reflects a strong backbone in the military ranks.
“These 70% of soldiers essentially form the core of our military contingent,” Kazmirchuk explained.
The need for combat medics on the frontlines remains constant as they are a particularly vulnerable group. Despite their critical role, they don’t work directly under the Medical Forces command but are part of the regular army units. “Combat medics carry out the same missions as regular soldiers,” added Kazmirchuk.
“They fall under the command of their respective military branches and units, but we are responsible for their specialized training,” he added.
Kazmirchuk also revealed that only 10% of combat medics currently have formal medical education. He though made it clear there is difference between their current roles and those of traditional medical professionals, saying, “On the frontlines, it’s about saving lives, not treatment. If a soldier is trained, then they are saved.”
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.
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.
