‘Lies demotivate people’, – Poroshenko calls on authorities not to repeat past mistakes
Source: Petro Poroshenko’s parliament speech
In his parliament speech, the former president of Ukraine and leader of the ‘European Solidarity’ party Petro Poroshenko called on the authorities not to repeat the mistakes made before the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation.
In particular, Poroshenko emphasized that the third year of the full-scale invasion will be very difficult, and the authorities must tell people the truth.
‘There is no doubt that the third year of the war will be more difficult than the previous two. This is the bitter truth of life. It is far from the sweet lies of the TV marathon. Lies completely demotivate the Ukrainian people and prevent mobilization,’ Poroshenko said.
He also noted that the position of the ‘European Solidarity’ party is not to repeat the mistakes that the authorities made before a full-scale war, when draft laws on strengthening the defense capability and increasing the funding of the army were not put to the vote for half a year.
The former president added that the leadership of the parliament should immediately cancel the ban on the broadcast of the Verkhovna Rada sessions.
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.
