On March 26, Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal had a conversation with British Foreign Secretary David Cameron.
The parties discussed the escalation of Russia’s attacks on civilian infrastructure, as well as the necessary assistance to Ukraine.
An important topic in the conversation of government officials was the introduction of mechanisms that would make Russia pay for the crimes and destruction committed.
In addition, the parties raised the issue of creating a special international group with the participation of Ukraine, which will work out the legal ways necessary for confiscation of Russian assets.
‘Ukraine has already submitted its proposals. The International Register of Losses has been created. Next, we propose to create an International Compensation Commission and a compensation fund. Our position is clear: all frozen assets of Russia should be directed to the needs of our state,’ Shmyhal stated.
Denys Shmyhal also thanked the people of the United Kingdom and the British government for their support of Ukraine.
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.
