During his visit to the border region of Sumy, former Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko delivered a new batch of FPV drones, reconnaissance drones, and other equipment to Ukrainian military units. He also met with the “Yenot’ battalion troops who showed him the trophies they captured on the incursion into the enemy territory.
Among the captured assets are a Russian “Tornado” multiple rocket launcher, an infantry fighting machine, and a 120mm mortar.
As drones remain in short supply, Poroshenko revealed that his campaign helps send the army some 4,000 drones each month, and he is determined to keep this criticial supplies flowing in.
Since the Feb.24 invasion, the fomer Ukrainian president has sent military equipment and weapons worth 5.6 billion hryvnas to the Ukrainian forces. This year alone, his effort got Ukrainian defenders over 27,000 FPV drones that are hailed for their “60% efficiency rate”.
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.).
