During his parliament speech, the former president of Ukraine and leader of the ‘European Solidarity’ party Petro Poroshenko called on the authorities to comply with their obligations to European partners who provide Ukraine with financial support within the framework of the Ukraine Facility program.
Poroshenko reminded that for the European Union, adherence to democratic values, media freedom and political pluralism are the red lines that cannot be violated.
The former president noted that the support of Europe is of strategic importance for Ukraine.
‘Today’s vote on the Framework Agreement on the support mechanism is not about the diplomatic successes of the authorities. This is not the success of Poroshenko or Zelensky. This is not the success of the previous or current Verkhovna Rada. This is honor and respect for the victims of Ukraine in Bucha, Borodyanka, Izyum, and Mariupol. And this is the price that Ukraine has paid and is paying for the high honor of becoming a member of the European Union and, I hope, a member of the NATO,’ Poroshenko stated.
He also added that Ukraine assumes a great responsibility. In his opinion, the task of the Verkhovna Rada is to realize and implement 69 reforms, 10 investment projects and 146 indicators and benchmarks in a very short time.
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.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
