In a bid to spur up a conscription campaign, Ukraine’s national postal service, Ukrposhta, has sent 20,000 draft notices to conscripts, according to Ihor Smilianskyi, the company’s CEO.
“We’ve delivered 20,000 summons, and they are still going out,” he stated. “Each summons is numbered and protected. This means we use a secure envelope that safeguards the personal data of the future conscript, and we monitor the process closely, tracking deliveries daily.”
As the delivery is set to continue, Smilianskyi said that the notices are sent to the addresses registered in the “Reserve+” or “Oberih” systems, arguing that these documents are no different from court summons, official documents, or traffic violation fines, which also get delivered by Ukrposhta.
It’s worth noting that the postal delivery of summons started on July 18, exactly 60 days after the mobilization law took effect. If a conscript refuses to accept the summons or cannot be found at their registered address, a draft notice still counts as officially delivered.
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.
