Rescuers pulled the bodies of three children from the ruins of an apartment building in Kryvyi Rih, struck by a Russian missile on November 11. The children—all from the same family—lost their lives alongside their mother, bringing the tragic death toll to four.
First responders located the body of the mother, Olena, under the debris on Monday. The grim discovery came later into the night, when they uncovered the bodies of her two sons, 10-year-old Kyrylo and 2-year-old Demyd. By morning, they found the youngest victim, 2-month-old Ulyana.
Olena’s husband is the only member of the family survived the devastating attack.
On November 11, Russian forces struck a residential building in Kryvyi Rih, Dnipropetrovsk region, causing injuries and, tragically, several deaths. Rescuers continue to clear the debris, as others may still remain trapped.
Rinat Akhmetov’s Metinvest Group has completed the construction of an upgraded underground NATO Role 2 hospital in one of the hottest sectors of the frontline. This is the second stabilization point established under the Steel Front initiative in cooperation with the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The new facility, funded by Metinvest with an investment of UAH 21 million, is more secure than the first one thanks to its deeper location underground (over 6 meters) and additional fortifications.
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.
