On Tuesday, the Moscow military court has sentenced Ukrainian journalist Dmytro Gordon to 14 years in prison in absentia.

The court found the journalist guilty of  what its verdict called “public calls for terrorism, spreading military ‘fakes’, and inciting hatred or enmity for his calls for nuclear strikes on Russia and the assassination of the presidents of Russia and Belarus.”

Dmytro Gordon’s scathing criticism of Feb.24 invasion landed him on Russia’s register of “extremists and terrorists.”

After the Russian internal ministry put him on a wanted list, the Basmanny district court soon issued a warrant for his arrest.

Gordon isn’t the only one in the hot seat. Oleksiy Honcharenko, a Ukrainian MP of “European Solidarity’ party, also found himself on the wrong side of Russian justice –  on June 18, he was handed down a 10-year prison sentence in absentia. 

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.
