Russian agent exposed in Donetsk region
Source: Security Service of Ukraine
The SBU detained a serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who collected intelligence for the Russian FSB and pinpointed enemy missiles on the positions of the Defense Forces in Donetsk region.
The detainee is a contract serviceman of one of the combat brigades of the Defense Forces, which is stationed in the east.
According to the investigation, the agent provided the coordinates of firing positions and military fortifications to the enemy.
The Russians were interested in the geolocations of the concentration of personnel and the location of heavy weapons of the Armed Forces, in particular tanks and artillery.
It was established that the enemy used this data to prepare targeted air attacks on the locations of the Ukrainian troops.
The SBU continues investigation into the case. The man may face up to 12 years of imprisonment.
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.).
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.
