On Thurdsay, Ukraine’s defense ministry has unveiled the new “Army+” app, which is set to ‘digitize’ and streamline paperwork for the military, saving them huge numbers of man-hours. At this point, the app allows electronic reports.
“Starting today, August 8, the ‘Army+’ app is officially operational,” announced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. “It begins with essential functions and will soon include additional features. Right now, you can submit electronic reports quickly, replacing what used to take hours or even days.”
The app will soon get such features as electronic military IDs and surveys allowing troops to grade their unit provisioning.
“The goal of this app is to free the Ukrainian army from tedious paperwork,” said Zelensky adding that the plan will help “commanders and soldiers to focus on their duties, and not outdated bureaucracy and paperwork.”
Apart from e-reporting, “Army+” will feature documentation processing and other administrative tools. Plans include training courses, educational programs, and secure communication channels for reliable interaction among military personnel.
The app is now available for download on both the App Store and Google Play.
After the start of the full-scale invasion in February 2022, Ukraine witnessed an unprecedented wave of private support for the army. Citizens, big businesses, charitable foundations, and international philanthropists began financing the country’s defense alongside state assistance provided by international partners. Estimates of total private contributions range from tens to hundreds of billions of hryvnias. However, determining the exact amount remains difficult. In many cases, companies combine military aid, humanitarian programs, tax payments, social spending, and employee support in their reporting.
Rinat Akhmetov’s military initiative, “Steel Front”, has delivered a batch of drones worth UAH 214 million to the 1st “Azov” Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine. This shipment is part of the Metinvest Group’s ongoing support for the unit in 2025.
On October 6, the Administrative Cassation Court within the Supreme Court of Ukraine continued hearing case No. 990/80/25, in which the fifth President and leader of the party “European Solidarity”, Petro Poroshenko, seeks to have Presidential Decree No. 81/2025 from February 12, 2025 — enacting sanctions by the decision of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) — declared illegal and annulled. The plaintiff claims the document was falsified and that the sanctions are a tool of political persecution of the opposition, contrary to international norms. Government representatives deny the allegations and insist their actions were lawful. Journalists of Bukvy were present at the hearing.
Rinat Akhmetov’s Metinvest Group has completed the construction of an upgraded underground NATO Role 2 hospital in one of the hottest sectors of the frontline. This is the second stabilization point established under the Steel Front initiative in cooperation with the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The new facility, funded by Metinvest with an investment of UAH 21 million, is more secure than the first one thanks to its deeper location underground (over 6 meters) and additional fortifications.
Five armored vehicles “Kozak” have received a new mission – thanks to the support of Metinvest, they have been upgraded to full-fledged command and staff vehicles. These upgraded vehicles are now operating on the front line.
