The United Arab Emirates was a key mediator in recent prisoners’ swaps between Ukraine and Russia, according to Ukraine’s human rights ombudsmap Dmytro Lubinets.
Speaking during a televised marathon on July 30, the Ukrainian official praised the efforts of the UAE: “We are extremely grateful to the UAE for their assistance in this matter.”
The ombudsman revealed that Ukraine is currently in talks with the UAE to arrange for a humanitarian convoy to provide all Ukrainian prisoner of wars held in Russia with a stock of eessential items, including personal hygiene products and medical supplies.
While the UAE is playing a key role in these negotiations, Lubinets noted that other countries are also lending their support to Ukraine’s efforts to secure the release of its detained citizens.
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.
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.
