The Zaporizhzhia-based company “Bud-Tekhnologii” has won the government contract for the restoration of Kyiv’s Ohmatdyt hospital, despite allegations of inflated pricing.
The company’s bid was 307 million hryvnias, making it the third-highest among 14 bidders, with quatations ranging from 42 million to 310 million hryvnias.
The shortlist of bidders included three companies. However, one of them, “Mega Profit Group,” was disqualified due to issues with tax forms, while another, “DAK,” was dropped after it was revealed that its management was entangled in a corruption scandal. This sequence of events ultimately helped “Bud-Tekhnologii” win the tender.
Remarkably, “Bud-Tekhnologii” priced the repair of façade panels and interior wall finishes at 100 million hryvnias, which is, on average, twice as much as the offers from other companies.
It is worth noting that the “Ohmatdyt” children’s hospital in Kyiv was seriously damaged in a Russian missile attack on Ukraine’s capital on June 8.
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.
