The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development is going to accumulate 300 million euros to support the energy sector of Ukraine.
On June 5, a meeting between the Prime Minister of Ukraine and the President of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, Odile Renaud-Basso, took place in Kyiv. The parties signed a memorandum of understanding, which provides that the EBRD will accumulate 300 million euros to support the energy sector of Ukraine.
‘This support will help in the realization of our goal – to provide a stable and uninterrupted electricity supply to the entire territory of Ukraine,’ Denys Shmyhal said.
The funds will be directed to the state energy companies Ukrenergo, Ukrhydroenergo and “Ukranafta” for the restoration of generating capacities and infrastructure, as well as for the construction of new decentralized generation.
During the meeting, the parties also discussed further cooperation in the economic and financial sectors. In total, since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion, the EBRD has provided Ukraine with €4 billion.
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.
