Among those joining the team amid are two high-profile military leaders:
- Olexandr Trepak, the Commander of the Special Operations Forces (SOF) of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
- Oleksiy Morozov, the Head of the State Security Administration of Ukraine.
The reshuffle is also marked by the departure of several notable figures. Among those are:
- Olexandr Kubrakov, the former Minister of Community Development, Territories, and Infrastructure of Ukraine.
- Serhiy Lypanchuk, the former Commander of the SOF of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
- Serhiy Rud, the former Head of the State Security Administration.
Established in February 25, 2022, in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, this top military leadership body is responsible for strategic management of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and other military formations.
Rinat Akhmetov’s Metinvest Group has completed the construction of an upgraded underground NATO Role 2 hospital in one of the hottest sectors of the frontline. This is the second stabilization point established under the Steel Front initiative in cooperation with the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The new facility, funded by Metinvest with an investment of UAH 21 million, is more secure than the first one thanks to its deeper location underground (over 6 meters) and additional fortifications.
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.
