President Volodymyr Zelensky believes that the money that a number of countries provide in the form of social assistance to Ukrainian refugees should be directed to the budget of Ukraine, and that Ukraine itself should distribute it among these people.
According to the reporter, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, about 200,000 men of military age have moved to Germany from Ukraine.
She asked Zelensky whether the German government should think about reducing social assistance for these men and use the saved funds to support Ukraine.
In response, Zelensky suggested redirecting the money to the Ukrainian budget for further distribution.
As Zelensky noted, now part of Ukraine’s money is in Europe, because when people were leaving the country because of the war started by Russia, they took the money with them.
At the same time, he emphasized that Germans and Germany independently decide whether to support Ukrainians.
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.
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.
