In occupied Kherson, children are reportedly made to write ‘thank-you’ letters to Russian troops, according to the National Resistance Center of Ukraine.
Promoted as a grass-root initiative, the campaign will require schoolchildren to write such letters on September 1 when they come back to school while teachers will need to givethem all sorts of prompts on what to write.
The notes will be later handed over to Russian troops stationed in the occupied region and will get coverage by Russian state media outlets.
According to reports, a similar situation took place at the Oleshky orphanage, where local officials made children write ‘thank-you’ letters to Russian troops after they delivered some ‘aid’ to the institution.
The National Resistance Center of Ukraine believes such actions are part of a broader, deliberate policy aiming to wipe out “self-identity of Ukrainian children”, which can be regarded as a form of “cultural genocide”.
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.
