Ukraine has brought back six children from occupied territories in Ukraine, including areas in Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, and Crimea. Among the rescued was a 17-year-old boy who feared conscription into the Russian army, according to Save Ukraine’s Mykola Kuleba.

The teen described the stories of Russian-led educators taking children to pay respects to WW2 cites and telling stories about the Red army’s “defense” against Nazis. The young man said he had tried to stay away from such schooling.

His journey out of the occupied territory wasn’t easy either At the border, FSB agents subjected him and his companions to intense pressure, accusing them of espionage and threatening to send them back.  The stressed out boy though managed to return to Ukraine .

This rescue marks yet another success for the campaign led by Save Ukraine founder Mykola Kuleba who helped return 487 children to Ukraine.

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.
