President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that the autonomous Food Train is now operating in Kharkiv region.
According to the president, the train helps Kharkiv region to survive difficult times.
‘Food Train is not only a source of food, but also a center of hope and faith in humanity and goodness,’ Zelensky stated.
He also thanked everyone who helps Ukrainians and Ukraine to endure and protect life.
‘Comprehensive support for Ukraine, providing our state and society with all the tools to fight against Russian terror and save people is the best possible protection of humanity,’ the president added.
The autonomous Food Train was launched in September 2023 by Ukrzaliznytsia and the Howard Buffett Foundation for assistance in frontline areas.
Five armored vehicles “Kozak” have received a new mission – thanks to the support of Metinvest, they have been upgraded to full-fledged command and staff vehicles. These upgraded vehicles are now operating on the front line.
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.
