Former Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko has announced a new aid package to support Ukrainian forces defending positions near Pokrovsk. Valued at approximately 30 million hryvnas, the latest shipment includes 1,150 FPV drones, a demining robot, quad bikes for evacuation and assault operations, “Mavik” drones for artillery correction, trench warfare electronic countermeasures (ECM), charging stations, and mobile repair workshops.
In recent weeks, Poroshenko’s foundation has directed assistance to the frontline regions of Sumy and Kharkiv, but the fronline escalation in the eastern Ukraine made the politician shift his focus to Donetsk. “We are heading back to Pokrovsk, where conditions are dire,” Poroshenko stated. “The Russians continue their assault despite heavy losses. We must do everything in our power to increase those losses.”
The European Solidarity leader also urged the Ukrainian government to pay greater attention to the situation in Donetsk and criticized the idea of establishing a Ministry of Unity. He called instead for the formation of a Government of National Unity to ensure real solidarity and to safeguard and defend Ukraine.
“This equipment will undoubtedly inflict significant damage on the Russian forces,” Poroshenko asserted. “I call on the authorities to focus on the eastern front. We need not a Ministry of Unity, but a Government of National Unity to protect our nation.”
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.
