On October 10, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine passed a resolution to exclude MPs Andriy Odarchenko and Artem Dmytruk from parliamentary committees. The legislative move, known as initiative No. 12099, received the support of 245 deputies.
Odarchenko has been removed from the Anti-Corruption Committee, while Dmytruk has been dropped from the Law Enforcement Committee.
MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak commented on the decision, noting, “The Rada supported the exclusion of two runaway MPs from their respective committees. Now, they are free fugitives, unburdened by unnecessary committee work.”
It’s worth mentioning that Artem Dmytruk, who was put on the wanted list over assault charges, drew attention on October 7 after he tried to join the Law Enforcement Committee during its virtual meeeting.
Rinat Akhmetov’s Metinvest Group has completed the construction of an upgraded underground NATO Role 2 hospital in one of the hottest sectors of the frontline. This is the second stabilization point established under the Steel Front initiative in cooperation with the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The new facility, funded by Metinvest with an investment of UAH 21 million, is more secure than the first one thanks to its deeper location underground (over 6 meters) and additional fortifications.
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.
