SBU foils a plot targeting a family of Ukrainian volunteers
Source: SBUUkraine’s Security Service and National Police exposed a gang plotting an attack on a family of volunteers. The suspects planned to plant improvised explosive devices at the home of the former Ukrainian serviceman whose wife manages a charitable foundation aiding Ukrainian military personnel. The gang members were allegedly squeezing the lady for money over the debt related to renovation work on the victims’ home.
The suspects made four explosive devices packed with gunpowder, nuts, bolts, and fuses. Their plan was to throw the explosives into the bedroom while the targeted family was sleeping. During the operation, SBU operatives nabbed the suspects right as they were preparing to break into the house.
Among those detained were a 43-year-old man and a 41-year-old woman. During searches, officials recovered explosive devices, materials for their assembly, mobile phones, and other evidence.
The suspects have been charged with attempted premeditated murder that can land them behind bars for life if convicted.
The court has ordered pretrial detention for the accused. Investigations are ongoing.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

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.
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.
