The Ukrainian military may soon introduce a new branch in the army – Cyber Forces.
The creation of such military units was discussed during the meeting of Ukrainian military and lawmakers on Thursday.
Chaired by Lieutenant General Anatoliy Barhylevych, the meeting reviewed the draft concept that used the experience of leading countries operating cyber armies.
The discussion also covered Ukraine’s own wartime experience in using military and other Defense Forces units in cyberspace.
The main tasks and functions of the Cyber Forces were not revealed but they would definitely focus on the distribution of responsibilities within the security and defense sector for actions in cyberspace.
According to the General Staff, “Creating Cyber Forces as a separate branch will significantly enhance the capabilities of the Ukrainian military, ensuring effective planning and execution of a full range of tasks in cyberspace, which, like land, sea, air, and space, is recognized as a separate operational domain.”
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.
