Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the Russian military has fired more than 8,000 missiles of different types targeting the territory of Ukraine, said Yurii Ihnat, the spokesman of the Ukrainian Air Force.
The Ukrainian air defense managed to intercept 25 out of 78 Kinzhal missiles, 406 out of 843 Caliber missiles, and 1176 out of 1513 Kh-101/555 missiles.
Ihnat noted that during 2022-2023 winter, Russia launched more than 1,100 cruise missiles intending to cause total blackout in Ukraine.
Currently, the main targets of the Russian attacks are the port infrastructure, the agricultural sector, the oil and gas industry, and defense enterprises. In addition, the invaders continue strikes on critical infrastructure, in particular energy objects.
Amendments to Ukraine’s enforcement proceedings legislation, initiated by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, have entered into force. Among other measures, the reform provides for the automated lifting of attachments on bank accounts immediately after debts in enforcement proceedings have been fully settled. The main practical benefit for citizens is the complete elimination of the need to contact an enforcement officer in person and wait for paper decisions once the debt has been paid.

In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine. Those innovations are part of civic resilience and the democratization of security, which Europe is paying close attention to right now.

It is looking for concrete ways to bring ordinary people into the work of defense and resistance.

Internationally recognized brands and financial institutions should direct capital to Ukraine now, not waiting for the hostilities to end.
