Ukraine has adopted a decision to launch an additional place of detention for Russian prisoners of war.

As stated by Andrii Yusov, Russia is suffering heavy losses in the Kharkiv direction. The Main Directorate of Intelligence appeals to the Russian troops who are currently there to surrender.

He noted that Ukraine guarantees compliance with the Geneva Convention, international humanitarian law, guarantees the life and safety of those Russian servicemen who do not want to become cannon fodder or war criminals.

Yusov added that taking into account the Russian losses in this direction, surrendering or switching to the side of Ukraine is a reasonable alternative.

‘Taking into account the scale of the situation in which the Russian troops are, their losses, including future ones, it was decided to open an additional place of detention, an additional camp for Russian prisoners of war,’ the representative said.

Amendments to Ukraine’s enforcement proceedings legislation, initiated by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, have entered into force. Among other measures, the reform provides for the automated lifting of attachments on bank accounts immediately after debts in enforcement proceedings have been fully settled. The main practical benefit for citizens is the complete elimination of the need to contact an enforcement officer in person and wait for paper decisions once the debt has been paid.

The 157th Separate Mechanized Brigade has received another batch of supplies as part of Rinat Akhmetov’s Steel Front military initiative. This time, the military received seven quad bikes and four mobile shower and bath units.

In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine. Those innovations are part of civic resilience and the democratization of security, which Europe is paying close attention to right now. The EU is trying to work out how to spread responsibility for its own security across society as a whole, rather than leaving it to institutions alone. It is looking for concrete ways to bring ordinary people into the work of defense and resistance.

Petro Poroshenko’s lawyers have appealed to the High Anti-Corruption Court demanding that NABU be obligated to register proceedings regarding the fact of exerting influence on the court and to recognize Petro Poroshenko as a victim in the case of the Deputy Head of the Office of the President, Iryna Mudra, due to her pressure on Supreme Court judges who were considering a lawsuit to overturn sanctions.

Internationally recognized brands and financial institutions should direct capital to Ukraine now, not waiting for the hostilities to end. This was emphasized by Rinat Akhmetov, president of FC Shakhtar, during a working visit to UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, where he met with UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin.
