Ukraine has joined the Coalition of High Ambitions to End Plastic Pollution of the Planet.
Currently, the Ukrainian delegation is working in Canada, where the meeting of the Intergovernmental Committee for Negotiations on Plastic Pollution and the meeting of representatives of the Eastern European Regional Group is ongoing.
The agenda includes elaboration of the future global plastic agreement.
This international instrument will allow the world to put an end to plastic pollution of the planet by 2040.
According to expert estimates, the use of plastic has increased fourfold over the past 30 years.Without new control measures, its production will double in 20 years, and the amount of plastic waste entering the ocean will triple.
The global agreement on plastics will include joint measures for the transformation of national policies and minimization of plastic waste, its environmentally safe collection, sorting and preparation for reuse and recycling.
Currently, the members of the Coalition of High Ambitions have outlined three strategic goals and seven key results for achieving success in this direction.
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.
