Ukraine’s prime minister Denys Shmyhal said on Tuesday that his government distributed 1.4 billion hryvnias in housing subsidies and benefits to Ukrainians this October, bringing this year’s total to approximately 29.6 billion hryvnias.
Shmyhal assured that a simplified benefits application process remains in place as well as their utomatic renewals for those who claim subsidies during the non-heating season.
The government is working out a winter support package for families, which includes winter subsidies. Families who heat their homes with firewood, coal, or other solid fuels will receive an additional payment of up to 21,000 hryvnias, a program is set to keep warm around 500,000 Ukrainian households.
Apart from it, the government will fullfil its pension commitments, distributing 65 billion hryvnias to retirees this month.
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.
