Since December 2023, the Ministry of Defense has introduced in the Ukrainian armed forces 18 NATO standards.
These standards were implemented within the Ukraine-NATO partnership program.
They include standards for the protection of troops, training of the Naval Forces in communication and information systems, and transport support.
Ukraine also introduced standards related to navigation and hydrographic support, diving activities, fuel and lubricants.
In total, 315 NATO standards have been implemented in the Ministry of Defense, the Armed Forces and other components of the security and defense sector.
According to Deputy Defense Minister Lieutenant General Ivan Havryliuk, this is more than is accepted in some NATO member states.
The deputy minister also added that in 2024 it is planned to introduce 50 more NATO standards in the security sector.
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.
