In Kharkiv region, agricultural losses due to the soil damage as a result of the full-scale Russian invasion amount to almost 37 billion hryvnias.
Researchers have developed and tested a comprehensive damage assessment methodology in Kharkiv region, 61% of which territory was affected by the hostilities.
The study consisted of three stages: geospatial analysis of high-precision satellite images to determine arable land and the degree of damage by ammunition and military equipment, electronic maps of soil types, and the level of their erosion.
The strikes directly damaged 4.2 thousand hectares of arable land and 28.2 thousand hectares could be potentially contaminated with explosives. Another 3.4 thousand hectares of soil were damaged due to the movement of heavy military equipment.
The local authorities believe that the results of the research and detailed maps for each community will help in demining the territories and will make it possible to prove that the products grown in a certain area are not contaminated and dangerous.
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.
