Ukraine’s police and Security Service said they have arrested a 16-year-old student in Kyiv for arson, targeting a car purchased by journalists for the military. The teen reportedly acted under orders from Russian intelligence, who dangled the promise of $1,000 as payment for the crime. Instead, the student now faces up to eight years in prison.
Instructed by his Russian handlers to torch a car in Kyiv, the young arsonist traveled from the Cherkasy region to Ukraine’s capital. The saboteur reportedly doused the vehicle in a flammable liquid, set it ablaze, and later filmed the sabotage act as proof of a job well done.
Coordinated efforts between local police and the SBU led to the student’s swift capture. Authorities found the Russian contacts of the suspect never delivered the promised payout. He now faces sabotage charges under Art. 114-1 of Ukraine’s Criminal Code. If convicted, the arsonist could spend the next eight years behind bars.
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. 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.
