Moscow calls its morning strikes in Kyiv and Kryvyi Rih retaliation
Sources: Russia’s defense ministry
Hitting a children’s hospital in Kyiv was an act of ‘vengence’, said Russia’s defense ministry on Monday following its deadly strikes that killed at least 31 people and left over 150 more injured.
“In the early morning hours, in response to attempts to damage Russian energy and economic targets, a coordinated strike was carried out on Ukraine’s military industrial facilities and Ukrainian Armed Forces’ aviation bases. The objectives of the strike were successfully achieved,” said its statement on social media.
In a blame-shifting attempt, Russian officials accused ‘hysterical’ Kyiv of warmongering arguing that the tragic deaths of the civilians in Kyiv, Kryvyi Rih and other cities had been the “result of Ukraine’s air defenes work”.
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.
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.
