In a major shake-up of Ukraine’s goverment, the Verkhovna Rada appointed Olha Stefanishyna as the new Minister of Justice while allowing her to continue serving as Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration. The decision was supported by 253 members of parliament.

This appointment follows the departure of Denys Maliuska, now the former justice minister. Stefanishyna’s new dual role has raised some eyebrows among some lawmakers as many question if she is able to juggle so many responsibilities in several high-level positions.

“Nearly every faction asked how one person will handle the responsibilities of being deputy prime minister for European integration, leading the EU negotiation group, and heading the ministry of justice. There is no clear answer,” said Iryna Herashchenko, co-chair of the European Solidarity faction.

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.

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.
