It was another rough night for Ukraine’s capital on Monday as it faced a wave of drone attacks. The city officials said Ukraine’s air defenses intercepted and downed “nearly a dozen drones”.
The attack triggered a four-and-a-half-hour air raid alert in the capital, making Ukrainian air defenses work hard to foil it though a range of countermeasures. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries or structural damage in Kyiv, and no one sought medical assistance due to the drone activity.
The later reports showed Russian forces also deployed about ten strategic Tu-95MS bombers, followed by MiG-31K aircraft equipped with Kinzhal missiles though no missile launches were confirmed.
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.
