Kharkiv residents had a rough night on Sunday as Russian forces launched several attacks that targeted the city and its suburbs. The first wave battered Shevchenkivskyi, Saltivskyi, and Kholodnohirskyi districts. Meanwhile, Chuhuiv was shelled with Tornado-S rocket systems. The attacks injured 21 people, including five children.
In Kharkiv’s Kholodnohirskyi district, emergency response teams continue rescue operations. The shelling caused a collapse between the eighth and ninth floors of an apartment building, completely destroying three apartments. According to Kharkiv’s mayor, the attack injured seven people, among them a 16-year-old girl.
The Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor’s Office reported that in Saltivskyi district, a shell struck near a private house, injuring two men, aged 63 and 77, as well as a 76-year-old woman who showed signs of acute stress. The attack also damaged a hotel, residential homes, and utility buildings.
In Shevchenkivskyi district, shelling hit a residential area, wounding a 51-year-old man and a 76-year-old woman. Another woman, aged 62, experienced severe stress in the aftermath.
In Chuhuiv, shelling caused a fire at a utility structure, and at least eight people sustained injuries, including five children. None of the injured required hospitalization, although several of the children exhibited acute stress responses.
Preliminary reports suggest that enemy forces carried out the shelling in Kharkiv using FAB-250 guided bombs launched from Russia’s Belgorod region.
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.
