According to the results of the meeting of the leadership of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine with the extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassador of Japan in Ukraine and the head of the Office of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), it became known that Japan will continue to systematically support the medical sphere of Ukraine.
During the meeting, the sides discussed the continuation of cooperation in terms of the development of medical infrastructure and strengthening of Ukraine’s ability to provide medical assistance.
Minister Viktor Lyashko noted that Japan is one of the most reliable and consistent partners of Ukraine in the fight against terrorist Russia.
For more than two years of full-scale war, Japan has already provided Ukraine with financial support of more than 12 billion dollars, including for the medical sector.
Japan’s Ambassador to Ukraine Matsuda Kuninori emphasized that supporting the health care sector is and will be one of the priority directions for the Japanese government – not only during the war, but also after it ends.
Earlier, it was reported that Japan allocated USD 118 million to health care and reconstruction of Ukraine.
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.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
