In an unusual move, Ukraine’s 53rd and 47th Separate Mechanized Brigades have openly called on soldiers who went AWOL (absent without leave) to come back to the frontlines. The brigades have pledged “full support and guidance” for those willing to rejoin their units.
“For every soldier who previously left their unit, the door remains open. We have one country, one mission, and victory is only possible if we stand together,” said the 53rd Brigade in the statement, encouraging servicemembers who are listed as AWOL with promises of support, no matter past decisions.
Echoing the call, the 47th Brigade admitted there could be the variety of personal reasons behind soldiers’ decisions to be absent from duty. They emphasized a readiness to help them “reintegrate with consultation and personal guidance”.
“Some grew tired or missed home; others couldn’t find their footing in their units,” the 47th Brigade said. “We’re here to offer modern, fair conditions and a chance to serve again with pride. Every fighter deserves the opportunity to step back into the ranks and fulfill their potential.”
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.
