‘Golos’ party MP Andrii Osadchuk stated that he was asked to withdraw his application for a trip to The Hague after he voted against government’s draft law.
He wrote that the president’s office turned business trips abroad into ‘political currency’ and opposition MPs are not allowed to visit foreign countries.
Osadchuk noted that this is happening when ‘Ukraine critically needs to promote its agenda everywhere in the world’.
The MP believes that ‘deputies from opposition factions who know English and other foreign languages could and should perform this function, communicating with their counterparts abroad, as well as with the voters of our partner countries, because politicians are oriented there to the will of voters’.
‘We urgently need weapons, we need funding, but the Ukrainian leadership does not draw conclusions from the shortcomings of the work, and this can all end very badly. We now have to throw all our resources into working with the West, because Ukraine’s survival in this war depends on their support,’ Osadchuk concluded.

On October 6, the Administrative Cassation Court within the Supreme Court of Ukraine continued hearing case No. 990/80/25, in which the fifth President and leader of the party “European Solidarity”, Petro Poroshenko, seeks to have Presidential Decree No. 81/2025 from February 12, 2025 — enacting sanctions by the decision of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) — declared illegal and annulled. The plaintiff claims the document was falsified and that the sanctions are a tool of political persecution of the opposition, contrary to international norms. Government representatives deny the allegations and insist their actions were lawful. Journalists of Bukvy were present at the hearing.
Rinat Akhmetov’s Metinvest Group has completed the construction of an upgraded underground NATO Role 2 hospital in one of the hottest sectors of the frontline. This is the second stabilization point established under the Steel Front initiative in cooperation with the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The new facility, funded by Metinvest with an investment of UAH 21 million, is more secure than the first one thanks to its deeper location underground (over 6 meters) and additional fortifications.
Five armored vehicles “Kozak” have received a new mission – thanks to the support of Metinvest, they have been upgraded to full-fledged command and staff vehicles. These upgraded vehicles are now operating on the front line.
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”.
