Nearly 580,000 Russian soldiers are now “actively involved in combat operations” against Ukraine, according to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence’s Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR).
In a statement issued on Friday, Major General Vadym Skibitsky confirmed that the ground component of the Russian forces currently fighting in Ukraine has reached 580,000 troops. He though made it clear that the estimate includes military units stationed in the Russian region of Kursk as well.
Skibitsky also revealed that Russia got a reinforcement from its National Guard troops, Rosgvardiya – at least 35 thousands of its troops are now stationed in the occupied regions of Ukraine.
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.

Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
