A recent survey by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) reveals that 3 in 4 Ukrainians have doubts the recent govermental reshuffle can make any difference.
It appears to be popular opinion as 74% of respondents said the rejig will not lead to “significant changes” in the government’s performance.
After several ministers were replaced with new appointees, only 12% of those surveyed showed trust it can improve government operations. Meanwhile, 6% think the situation will worsen, while the majority anticipates no real change.
Remarkably, respondents who support president Volodymyr Zelenskyy tend to be optimistic about the reshuffles—19% of them expect positive results, compared to just 3% among those who are not in Zelenskyy’s camp.
Half of those surveyed back the idea of having a “government of national unity”, whic could bring together “all patriotic forces” from both inside and outside the parliament. Thirteen percent scoffed at the idea , while 33% were neutral on this subject.
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.

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.
