Lithuania to cancel free university education for Ukrainian refugees

Lithuania is pulling the plug on free university education for Ukrainian refugees, a move reportedly made at the “request of the Ukrainian government”. The news came from the Ukrainian journalist Vitaliy Chervonenko.
He assumes the “rationale” behind this shift is that Ukrainian students should “return home to study”, even though “power outages last for 15 hours and missiles are hitting children’s hospitals.”
“Who in Kyiv got this smart idea? Everyone is denying their role, while the Ministry of Education and Science insists they didn’t request it,” Chervonenko bitterly remarked.
The decision can spark a concern as it is still unclear if universities will be able to keep their classrooms warm and safe in winter.
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.
