Lithuania’s Defense Minister, Laurynas Kasčiūnas, said that Russia has redeployed troops from Kaliningrad to reinforce its forces in Ukraine’s Kursk region. The minister revealed the information during the 10th Kyiv Security Forum for Youth.
“We’re closely monitoring Russian forces [bases] in Kaliningrad, and it’s practically empty. Why? Because they’ve pulled troops out of the Kaliningrad region, and they’re now fighting in Ukraine. Russian troops are also engaged in combat in Russia’s Kursk region against Ukrainian forces,” he explained.
Kasčiūnas argued that the troops redeployment can impact Lithuania’s security. “Just a few months ago, they discussed militarizing Kaliningrad. This shift is a direct result of Ukraine’s fight, which is dismantling Russia’s war machine, pushing them out of other regions, and blocking any potential scenarios that would pose a threat to us. Your struggle is helping us secure our own future,” added the Lithuanian defense minister.
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.

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.
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.
