Just a day after Ukraine’s president lashed out at corrupt medical commissions helping draft-dodgers, the law-enforcement raid in Mykolaiv discovered over $450,000 in cash and a stash of luxury jewelry owned by the Mykolaiv medical commission chief inspector.
Stacks of the money and valuables were wisely stashed away in the apartment of her son, who works as an intern at a local medical institution. Investigators also found a Russian passport, issued in his name at the Russian consulate in Odesa before the Feb.22 invasion.
The investigation revealed that the official declared an income of about 2 million hryvnias. She though failed to report her side hustle concealing her illegal earnings as well as three undeclared apartments in her son’s name.
In a further twist, it was uncovered that she arranged for herself and her son to be classified as having a second-degree disability to secure extra social benefits and state payments.
Investigation is still underway before prosecutors have enough evidence to formally charge the official and determine preventive measures against her.
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.
