Yesterday, it became known that the employees of the TV channels participating in the TV marathon and other organizations will be reserved from mobilization. The list also includes the employees of the circus, which provoked discussion on social media.

Acting culture minister Rostyslav Karandeev commented on the situation.

‘This is just disrespect for people in the field who do their work honestly and qualitatively, a primitive assessment of their social importance, as well as the overall importance of culture in a country at war,’ he said.

According to the minister, one cannot draw conclusions about how important an institution is based on its name alone.

The employees of the mobile circus tour all over Ukraine, including in the liberated territories. They also perform in hospitals, shelters and unsuitable premises, the minister explained

Last year, the circus held 1,510 performances, which were attended by about 145,000 spectators in 17 regions of Ukraine. Since the beginning of 2024, 182 performances have been held in 14 regions.

In addition, the circus submitted for reservation only 14 employees. 11 of  them are the performers of the most complex circus genres and 3 more are technical workers without whom performances are just impossible.

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.
