Former Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko carries on with his effort to aid Ukrainian troops. On Thursday, he delivered a new batch of military equipment to the frontlines. Poroshenko argues it is his priority these days.
“There is nothing more important right now than our army. This is priority number one. That’s why today my team and I are near the front lines in Kharkiv and Donetsk regions, delivering another batch of assistance to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This shipment alone includes nearly 700 FPV drones of various configurations. We’ve also brought laundry and shower units, more than 20 Mavic drones with night vision capabilities, Bluetti power stations, and ‘Shatro’ trench-based electronic warfare systems,” said the politician.
During the pass-over ceremony, he touched upon the issue of decommunizing town names in Ukraine. He praised his fellow lawmakers who helped pass the renaming law while he was visiting the frontline positions.
“My colleagues from European Solidarity stepped in and delivered a record number of votes for the resolution on renaming places. As a result, we have successfully derussified 327 settlements. This marks another stage in the fight for decolonization, which we started back in 2014,” Poroshenko added.
In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine. Those innovations are part of civic resilience and the democratization of security, which Europe is paying close attention to right now. The EU is trying to work out how to spread responsibility for its own security across society as a whole, rather than leaving it to institutions alone. It is looking for concrete ways to bring ordinary people into the work of defense and resistance.
Petro Poroshenko’s lawyers have appealed to the High Anti-Corruption Court demanding that NABU be obligated to register proceedings regarding the fact of exerting influence on the court and to recognize Petro Poroshenko as a victim in the case of the Deputy Head of the Office of the President, Iryna Mudra, due to her pressure on Supreme Court judges who were considering a lawsuit to overturn sanctions.
Internationally recognized brands and financial institutions should direct capital to Ukraine now, not waiting for the hostilities to end. This was emphasized by Rinat Akhmetov, president of FC Shakhtar, during a working visit to UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, where he met with UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin.

In 2025, the deadliest year yet for civilians, Ukraine’s three largest charitable foundations raised a record 105.9 billion hryvnias. It is more than the years 2022–2024 combined. According to the UN, humanitarian aid in Ukraine was delivered by more than 450 organisations, reaching five million people over the course of the year. Civic foundations hold licences to purchase lethal weapons, which is a function states have monopolised for centuries. These record sums were underwritten by international government grants, which means foreign states now channel billions directly through Ukrainian civic funds, bypassing inter-state channels. It is hard to imagine a stronger institutional trust in civil society.
