Ukrainian security service said its operatives have detained a 22-year-old Ukrainian soldier who was allegedly helping Russian troops to pinpoint their air artillery strikes against his own brigade.
The suspect, who served as a drone operator in one of the brigades stationed on the Kramatorsk front, was recruited in 2023 by a Russian FSB officer, identified as Dmitry Pavlovich Sorokaletov.
The soldier provided the FSB with coordinates of his unit near Chasiv Yar and also tried to snoop on thee locations of other Ukrainian units in the area.
Investigation revealed that the soldier was on the radar of Russian operatives after he left pro-Kremlin comments on Russian Telegram channels.
During the arrest, SBU seized mobile phones containing evidence of his cooperation with the enemy. The suspect is facing espionage charges under Article 111 of the Ukrainian Criminal Code. He is now in custody and faces a potential life sentence along with the confiscation of his property.
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.
