Goodbye to Daylight Saving Time? The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has voted to cancel the practice of switching between summer and winter time. The news came on Tuesday from the lawmaker Yaroslav Zheleznyak.
The move to axe the long-debated policy received overwhelming support with 261 deputies voting in favor. It marks a significant change in the country’s timekeeping practices. According to Zheleznyak, Ukraine will make one final switch to winter time this year and it will stay that way thereafter.
“This means that this year, on the last Sunday of October (the 27th), we will put back our clocks to winter time, and from 2025 onwards, there will be no more switching to summer time,” Zheleznyak explained.
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.
