The Poroshenko Foundation has announced its plans to restore all the medical quipment destroyed in a recent Russian attack on the “Ohmatdyt” children’s hospital in Kyiv. The Foundation, aided by the Roshen company, has been supporting the hospital over the last 10 years, investing over 100 million hryvnas in its equipment, repairs and reconstruction.
The Jul.8 missile attack caused extensive damage to one of the hospital’s wings, which had been built and equipped through the Foundation’s efforts. Former first lady Marina Poroshenko visited the hospital on Wednesday.
“We are standing next to the 11th building, the very one we began to restore and modernise 10 years ago, equipping it with modern tools and everything necessary to function in new conditions, allowing doctors to provide medical services at a completely different level,” said Marina Poroshenko.
She thanked the medical workers of “Ohmatdyt” for their bravery during the attack. “Many were injured. Eternal memory to Dr Svitlana Lukyanchuk, who tragically lost her life while returning to ensure that everyone was evacuated,” she said paying a tribute to the killed doctor.
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.
