Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba will visit India at the invitation of his Indian counterpart Subrahmanyam Jaishankar on March 28-29. This will be the first visit of the Ukrainian foreign minister to India since 2017.

The main purpose of the visit is to implement the agreed plans between the leaders of Ukraine and India, as well as to prepare for the upcoming Global Peace Summit in Switzerland.

The visit is aimed at the development of Ukrainian-Indian relations in the spheres of trade and international cooperation, as reported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

During his stay in New Delhi, Dmytro Kuleba plans to hold several meetings, in particular with the head of the Foreign Ministry of India.

A meeting of the Ukrainian-Indian Intergovernmental Commission on Trade, Economic, Scientific, Technical, Industrial and Cultural Cooperation is also planned. In addition, the minister will meet with representatives of non-governmental organizations and journalists of India.

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.

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.
