On January 14, in his evening address, president Volodymyr Zelensky announced that he was preparing ‘good news’ regarding air defense systems for Ukraine.

Zelensky emphasized that the first two weeks of this year have already given Ukraine strength and opportunities. There are already new support packages for the Ukrainian defense forces. In addition, Ukraine signed much-needed agreements on the joint production of weapons and ammunition.

​‘There will be more drones. We are preparing good news about air defense. We remember about missiles, about electronic warfare means. Month by month we are constantly increasing our Ukrainian production of artillery,’ Zelensky said.

The president is sure that Ukraine has sufficient potential to go through the difficult path of the full-scale war.

‘We have the potential to bring the world together. We have the potential to win. The main thing is to believe in own strength. And believe in Ukraine,’ the president concluded.

On October 6, the Administrative Cassation Court within the Supreme Court of Ukraine continued hearing case No. 990/80/25, in which the fifth President and leader of the party “European Solidarity”, Petro Poroshenko, seeks to have Presidential Decree No. 81/2025 from February 12, 2025 — enacting sanctions by the decision of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) — declared illegal and annulled. The plaintiff claims the document was falsified and that the sanctions are a tool of political persecution of the opposition, contrary to international norms. Government representatives deny the allegations and insist their actions were lawful. Journalists of Bukvy were present at the hearing.

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”.
