Russian troops struck Kharkiv with powerful 500-kilogram bombs in the early hours of Friday, causing severe destruction and injuring dozens. The attack targeted two city districts, with significant damage reported across the city, according to Kharkiv Regional Governor Oleh Synehubov.
The assault was launched at around 3:30 am, hitting both the Saltivka and Shevchenkivskyi districts. In Saltivka, one bomb struck a high-rise building, injuring 25 people; five of them were hospitalized with moderate to minor injuries. Rescue crews evacuated 30 residents from the building, including four children, and are now actively clearing debris.
The explosion partially destroyed the building’s stairwell from the first to the third floors. The blast wave damaged nearby residential buildings, five cars, and even the entrances of a subway station.
In the Shevchenkivskyi district, explosions rocked the city center. The bombs hit an open area, damaging historic buildings, public spaces, and residences. Another explosion struck close to residential areas, affecting at least six high-rise buildings, shops, pavilions, cars, and more metro entrances. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in the district.
“These 500-kilogram bomb strikes are deliberate acts of terror by the enemy. We thank all emergency services and volunteers for saving lives and working tirelessly to handle the aftermath!” wrote the governor on Telegram.
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.
