The Grain from Ukraine initiative has overseen the shipment of 25 vessels from ports in Odesa, carrying 160,000 tons of agricultural produce that helped feed 12 million people, according to Marianne Ward, deputy director of the World Food Programme (WFP).
In an interview with Interfax Ukraine, Ward revealed that grain shipments from Ukraine, part of the WFP’s efforts, were temporarily halted from July to October 2023, following the expiration of the Black Sea Grain Initiative.
She expressed concern over the attacks destroying Odesa’s port infrastructure as the WFP’s wants Ukraine’s grains to reach the countries in need. This commitment is underscored by the WFP’s provision of marine war insurance for ships carrying Ukraine’s grains.
Ukraine is preparing to dispatch an additional 40,000 tons of agricultural produce to countries in Africa and Asia in the coming months.
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.
