In a move to better prepare soldiers for the battlefield, Ukraine’s commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said the Armed Forces will soon extend military training of new recruits to 2 months
“ Quality training is the foundation of saving lives and preserving the health of our warriors,” added Syrskyi in his statement on Friday.
The initiative builds on recent progress. The Basic military training course has recently been extended to 45 days, a significant increase from the previous 30-day program. The updated plan also includes:
Syrskyi emphasized the critical need for new soldiers to fully complete this phase within their units.
“Commanders must thoroughly prepare recruits for the challenges of modern warfare to maximize their survival and effectiveness in combat,” he added.
The current situation on the frontline is tense, which often makes commanders rush recruits into action without the proper adaptation period, but Syrskyi said he insisted on sticking to the 14-day adaptation rule that later helps ‘save a soldier on battlefields’.
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.
