Ukraine’s capital will see an increase in checkpoints as part of ongoing security exercises, according to the Kyiv Military Administration.
City officials stressed the importance of enhancing “skills, coordination, and readiness among all structures responsible for maintaining order” in the capital during wartime.
“To ensure effective security, the Defense Forces of Kyiv, in collaboration with the Kyiv Administration, the National Police, and other structural units, regularly conduct training sessions,” the statement read.
Key components of the drills include:
- deploying additional temporary checkpoints
- installing warning signs and engineering barriers
- practicing vehicle and document checks
- demonstrating search and counter-diversion measures
The primary aim of these exercises is to “improve management systems, organization, and cooperation to safeguard public safety during potential escalations and enhance measures to protect civilians”.
The city administration said such drills will become a regular practice in Ukraine’s capital.
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.
