On November 29, during the meeting of the Ukraine-NATO Council, an annual program aimed at preparing Ukraine for membership in the Alliance was approved.
The statement was made by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in Brussels after the meeting.
He noted that this ambitious program includes energy security, innovation, and interoperability.
Jens Stoltenberg added that the transformation of NATO’s Comprehensive Assistance Package into a multi-year aid program is currently underway. It is designed to help Ukraine’s transition from Soviet times to NATO equipment and standards.
The Secretary General also said that discussions at the meeting included Ukraine’s path to NATO and the allies agreed that Ukraine would become a member of the Alliance.
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.
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.
