On Friday, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky has signed a decree revoking state awards earlier given to 34 individuals deemed traitors to Ukraine. The list includes former officials, members of parliament, security officers, prosecutors, artists, and prominent Russian political, religious, and cultural figures.
Among those stripped of the medals are Oleksandr Yefremov, Renat Kuzmin, Viktor Medvedchuk, Dmytro Tabachuk, Mykola Azarov, and Viktor Pshonka.
The decree also targets Russian figures such as Patriarch Kirill of the Russian Orthodox Church, Russian and former Ukrainian celebrities Nikolai Baskov, Philip Kirkorov, Alexander Malinin, composer Igor Krutoy, Karolina Kuek (Ani Lorak) and Taisia Povaliy.
On November 20, President Zelensky signed Law No. 11410, which enables the revocation of state awards for those who “promote or glorify the aggressor state or engage in other illegal actions against Ukraine”. Initiated by Zelensky, the law had received the votes of 283 Ukranian lawmakers.
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.
