The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, commented on the process of mobilization in Ukraine, noting that ‘there is no demobilization’ during the war.
According to the president, there was a lot of misinformation around the mobilization in Ukraine.
He added that the mobilization process has been going on since the beginning of the full-scale war.
‘This is a prolongation of the relevant decision in the parliament in accordance with our legislation,’ he explained.
At the same time, the president noted that the mobilization process in Ukraine is not ideal, as the current law on mobilization was adopted in peacetime.
Zelensky reminded that currently Ukrainian MPs are working on improving the law and it has already been adopted in the first reading.
He added that the military wants an answer on what can be improved in the law on mobilization, and the legislators want to see what the consequences will be for certain sections of society.
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.
