The Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, General Valerii Zaluzhnyi, addressed the nation with a statement on the Armed Forces Day.
‘I bow my head before your feat! In front of every soldier, sergeant, and officer. Especially in front of those who today, in the heat of battle and under fire, in cold frozen trenches and ruins, firmly hold the defense and destroy the insidious enemy’, Zaluzhnyi wrote.
The commander-in-chief emphasized that the soldiers are fighting for the future of our children, so Ukrainians ‘have no right to lose’.
‘I am proud of everyone who is in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine today. Ukraine does not give up thanks to you. And thanks to you, I am convinced again and again – no matter how difficult it is for us, there will definitely be no shame! Thank you for your service! Congratulations on the Armed Forces Day!

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.
