Ternopil region leads Ukraine in the share of women among applicants eager to join to Ukraine’s Defense Forces, with 48% of all candidates at local recruitment centers being female.
Following closely are Chernivtsi (44%) and Chernihiv (39%) regions. These three regions stand among other as the national average for female applicants stands at 19% across all recruitment centers.
The Defense Ministry’s press service said that Ukrainian army recruitment centers offer over 10,000 positions across various military formations, including the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National Guard, the State Border Guard Service, and the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU).
They also stressed that recruitment office consultations are provided confidentially, with no draft notices issued on the spot.
Currently, Ukraine has 44 active recruitment centers across the country.
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.

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.
