he European Union is not interested in joining the project that must help Ukraine add two energy units at Ukraine’s Khmelnytskyi nuclear power plant, according to Katarína Materna, the head of the EU Delegation to Ukraine. In her interview with European Pravda, she was blunt,
“We were not involved in preparing this draft law. Whether Ukraine decides to build nuclear plants or not is entirely within its government’s prerogative.”
The Ukrainian Parliament is set to review Bill No. 11146 on December 17. It proposes the construction of the two reactors at Khmelnytskyi nuclear power plant, with funding sourced from international donors. Materna though reminded the European Union does not finance nuclear power plant projects, partly because the EU member states still are divided on nuclear energy.
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.
