A Russian drone attack killed a Seventh-day Adventist priest Artur Kucheriavenko and wounded his father, fellow pastor Vladyslav Kucheriavenko in Solonchaky, Mykolaiv Oblast. The attack came as they were delivering humanitarian aid.
According to the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC), Artur and his father were distributing coal to local residents to help them prepare for winter when Russian drones struck, wounding six civilians and fatally injuring Artur. The continued assault delayed the arrival of first responsenders. The injured were eventually transported to a hospital, but Artur succumbed to his injuries.
UGCC leader Major Archbishop Sviatoslav expressed deep condolences in a letter to the president of the Ukrainian Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, Stanislav Nosov, and the Adventist community. He praised Father Artur for embodying the spirit of the Gospel by serving those in need and prayed for the recovery of the injured and strength for the Kucheriavenko family.
“May Artur’s example of service to others stand as a testimony to God’s power amidst this brutal war,” Sviatoslav wrote, emphasizing the tragic loss for the Adventist Church and its faithful in Ukraine.
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.

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.
