The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine created the Council of Donors of Institutional Reforms, which will deal with the effective and transparent communication with partner countries that support transformational processes.
‘The Donor Council will help us simplify communication with partners through regular updates on the progress of reforms and will become a transparent mechanism for requesting donor support for ministry reform projects,’ deputy defense minister Stanislav Haider stated.
The Council will provide expert assistance, material and technical support, preparation of expert proposals, and consultations on the interoperability with the NATO.
The Council includes representatives of more than 20 countries and organizations, including defense attachés, diplomatic representatives of partner countries, as well as international defense organizations working in Ukraine.
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.
