At a Ministerial Conference on the Human Dimension of the Peace Formula held in Montreal, participants issued a joint communiqué pledging to assist Ukraine in returning all prisoners and deported citizens. The conference members agreed to strengthen Ukraine’s collaboration with international partners and organizations to address humanitarian issues and uphold the Geneva Conventions.
The initiative will need to decide on what countries can act as ‘trusted intermediaries’ on the issue. The conference participant also proposed to set up some scheme that will provide consular services to Ukrainians temporarily residing in Russia.
Canadian Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly name the countries who reached out to Ukaine.
“I extend my gratitude to Qatar, the Vatican, and South Africa for their role as mediators in negotiating the return of children. I also thank Qatar and Lithuania for serving as transit countries in bringing these children home. Additionally, I appreciate the United Arab Emirates for continuing to mediate discussions on prisoner exchanges,” Joly stated.
The conference established a group of nations that will gather information on captives, including children, and verifying data to support Ukraine’s efforts.
The effort will also launch communication campaigns to raise awareness of Russia’s unlawful detention, mistreatment of Ukrainian civilians and POWs, and the deportation and forced relocation of children.
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.
