The former president of Ukraine and leader of the ‘European Solidarity’ party Petro Poroshenko is planning visits to Poland, Germany, and Israel.
On February 15, in Warsaw, the Ukrainian politician will meet with the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland, Radoslaw Sikorski, the head of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Sejm, Pawel Koval, and members of the Sejm of Poland.
They will discuss urgent issues of bilateral cooperation, in particular the issue of commercial transportation.
On February 16-18, at the invitation of the organizers, Petro Poroshenko will take part in the 60th Munich Security Conference. He is planning a speech and meetings with political leaders of EU member states and representatives of the US Republican Party.
On February 19-20, as a member of the Honorary Council of the International Democratic Union, Poroshenko will make a solidarity visit to Israel as part of a high-level delegation led by the head of the IDU, Stephen Harper.
After the start of the full-scale invasion in February 2022, Ukraine witnessed an unprecedented wave of private support for the army. Citizens, big businesses, charitable foundations, and international philanthropists began financing the country’s defense alongside state assistance provided by international partners. Estimates of total private contributions range from tens to hundreds of billions of hryvnias. However, determining the exact amount remains difficult. In many cases, companies combine military aid, humanitarian programs, tax payments, social spending, and employee support in their reporting.
Rinat Akhmetov’s military initiative, “Steel Front”, has delivered a batch of drones worth UAH 214 million to the 1st “Azov” Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine. This shipment is part of the Metinvest Group’s ongoing support for the unit in 2025.
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.
