A Molotov cocktail was thrown at a facade of a synagogue in Mykolaiv overnight on Monday in what appears to be an arson attempt. The fire was promptly put out b the building’s security guard, which prevented flames from spreading.
The United Jewish Community of Ukraine reported the accident to police. The attack has been classified as hooliganism under Part 4 of Article 296 of Ukraine’s Criminal Code.
The Jewish community activists though raised concerns over this classification, pointing out that the perpetrators’ actions may violate Ukraine’s Law on Preventing and Combating Antisemitism, which outlaws the intentional damage or destruction of property belonging to Jewish individuals, communities, organizations, or religious structures motivated by antisemitism.
Representatives from the UJCU argue that the attack could also fall under Article 161 of Ukraine’s Criminal Code, which addresses violations of citizens’ equality based on race, nationality, religion, disability, or other characteristics
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.
