From February 24, 2022 to December 1, 2023, the Poroshenko Foundation, together with the NGO ‘Sprava Hromad’, spent 3,902,504,000 hryvnias (over 112 million USD) to help the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
From the total amount, the former president of Ukraine and his companies donated to the Ukrainian army UAH 3,320,717,000. The NGO ‘Sprava Hromad’ raised UAH 581,787,000 to support Ukrainian defenders.
The purchased equipment includes body armor, machine guns and sniper equipment, first aid kits, trucks and armored vehicles, drones, generators, and other needed equipment.
The Foundation has sent to the front more than 100 trucks and tractors. Ukrainian units also received 11 MLS Shield and 14 Spartan armored personnel carriers.
Two-thirds of the projects of the Poroshenko Foundation, related to the supply of weapons, are not yet subject to disclosure due to security issues.
Amendments to Ukraine’s enforcement proceedings legislation, initiated by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, have entered into force. Among other measures, the reform provides for the automated lifting of attachments on bank accounts immediately after debts in enforcement proceedings have been fully settled. The main practical benefit for citizens is the complete elimination of the need to contact an enforcement officer in person and wait for paper decisions once the debt has been paid.
The 157th Separate Mechanized Brigade has received another batch of supplies as part of Rinat Akhmetov’s Steel Front military initiative. This time, the military received seven quad bikes and four mobile shower and bath units.
In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine. Those innovations are part of civic resilience and the democratization of security, which Europe is paying close attention to right now. The EU is trying to work out how to spread responsibility for its own security across society as a whole, rather than leaving it to institutions alone. It is looking for concrete ways to bring ordinary people into the work of defense and resistance.
Petro Poroshenko’s lawyers have appealed to the High Anti-Corruption Court demanding that NABU be obligated to register proceedings regarding the fact of exerting influence on the court and to recognize Petro Poroshenko as a victim in the case of the Deputy Head of the Office of the President, Iryna Mudra, due to her pressure on Supreme Court judges who were considering a lawsuit to overturn sanctions.
Internationally recognized brands and financial institutions should direct capital to Ukraine now, not waiting for the hostilities to end. This was emphasized by Rinat Akhmetov, president of FC Shakhtar, during a working visit to UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, where he met with UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin.
