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”.
Amendments to Ukraine’s enforcement proceedings legislation, initiated by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, have entered into force. Among other measures, the reform provides for the automated lifting of attachments on bank accounts immediately after debts in enforcement proceedings have been fully settled. The main practical benefit for citizens is the complete elimination of the need to contact an enforcement officer in person and wait for paper decisions once the debt has been paid.
The 157th Separate Mechanized Brigade has received another batch of supplies as part of Rinat Akhmetov’s Steel Front military initiative. This time, the military received seven quad bikes and four mobile shower and bath units.
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.
