Source: High Anti-Corruption Court Hearing
The High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) has issued both national and international search warrants for “Servant of the People’ lamwaker Andrii Odarchenko after he skipped the hearing of his case trial on Wednesday.
Odarchenko faces charges of attempting to bribe top officials at the Ministry of Restoration. According to reports, the politician fled from Ukraine.
The court approved the prosecutor’s request to declare Odarchenko officially wanted.
The story drew attention after Odarchenko’s no-show on September 18th, when he was set to testify. His defense team admitted they have no information on his whereabouts, claiming that contact with the MP has been lost.
The court will review the prosecutor’s motion to confiscate Odarchenko’s posted bail and impose stricter preventive measures on September 23.
It is worth noting that Odarchenko had previously posted bail of 15 million UAH. According to investigators, he allegedly offered a $50,000 bribe to facilitate the allocation of funds for repairs at a university under his control.
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.

You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
