The former president of Ukraine and leader of the ‘European Solidarity’ party Petro Poroshenko who is participating in the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, at a meeting with the delegation of Germany, called on German deputies to a new format of support for Ukraine.
Poroshenko called for a new dimension of military support for Ukraine from the West, noting that the existing aid framework is insufficient to defeat the aggressor.
‘Germany should confirm its strategic leadership and promote the growth of military aid to Ukraine, give the Armed Forces the right to use Western weapons against targets on the territory of Russia, place German armed contingents, joint military enterprises and warehouses on the territory of Ukraine, as well as increase supplies of high-precision weapons to Ukraine,’ Poroshenko said.
In addition, Petro Poroshenko called on the German leaders to approve an important decision regarding the invitation of Ukraine to join the NATO.
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”.
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.).
