Poland’s deputy prime minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz voiced his disappointment over the low number of Ukrainians willing to join the Ukrainian Legion in Poland.
“We are not responsible for recruitment, but the number of people who were expected to sign up from the Ukrainian side is far too low. Initial declarations suggested that a whole brigade, or several thousand people, could be formed. However, that has not happened,” admitted Kosiniak-Kamysz .
The official also reminded that Poland has already trained around 20,000 Ukrainian soldiers, who have since been deployed to the front lines. He stressed that Warsaw is committed to the plan of training more Ukrainian army recruits, that was part of the agreement between Poland and Ukraine.
In July, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski claimed that “several thousand individuals” had expressed interest in joining the Ukrainian Legion.
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.
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.
