Nearly 930,000 Ukrainian conscripts have been granted exemptions from mobilization, with this number expected to reach 1 million next week, according to deputy defense minister Ivan Havryliuk. The figure was revealed at roundtable discussion on the military service deferment policies for businesses in Ukraine.
Havryliuk argued that effective national defense needs the situation where “a portion of the population” serves in the military while others do their bit on the home front working in defense-related industries. He admitted that only a few Ukrainian businesses have introduced a three-shift pattern, which is” insufficient to fully shift the economy to a wartime footing”.
Another problem is a visible drop-off in foreign aid which will see Ukraine dealing with ‘bigger challenges’ down the road.
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.
