During the first three months of 2024, Ukraine implemented 54 NATO military standards in the defense and security sector.

These standards include operation of weapons and military equipment, safety of storage of ammunition and explosives, management of troops, use of communication and information systems, as well as standards regarding the quality of goods, engineering, aviation and medical support.

‘The introduction of these standards increases the effectiveness of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other components of the Defense Forces of Ukraine,’ said deputy defense minister Ivan havryliuk.

He added that 8 of the implemented standards are stipulated by the Ukraine-NATO partnership goals.

‘Currently, of the 219 recommended NATO standards, Ukraine has already implemented 190 (another 128 standards have been implemented on Ukraine’s initiative),’ the deputy minister explained.

The main function of the NATO standards is the interoperability of the Armed Forces. This goal is enshrined in the Charter on a special partnership between Ukraine and NATO.

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.
