MODERN HEROES OF UKRAINE - CONTINUATION OF THE HEROISM OF THE UKRAINIAN COSSACKS

The modern heroism of Ukrainian soldiers in battles with Moscow mercenaries has a blood and spiritual connection with the heroism of the Ukrainian Cossack army, which for centuries heroically defended Ukraine from the attacks of the Moscow horde.

This is what inspired the famous Zaporozhian artist Kostyantyn Rotan to create a heroic diptych on which the line between the ages and the present is allegedly erased.

Looking into the faces of the Cossacks, depicted in full historical correspondence to the details of clothing, weapons, and natural surroundings, you see definitely heroic leaders of the times of the Cossacks. You see Courage, Honor, Courage. Insurmountable Will to Victory.

All three key Black Sea ports in Ukraine have resumed receiving ships, as reported by Bloomberg.

Additionally, the fact that international insurance companies are restoring coverage of insurance risks is an encouraging sign for trade and shipping in the region.

Furthermore, the development of the corridor by Ukraine, following Russia's refusal to renew the grain agreement, demonstrates the country's proactive approach to ensuring the continuity of its trade operations.

🇦🇲 The Armenian Parliament has ratified the Rome Statute, committing to implement the decisions of the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Previously, Prime Minister Pashinyan expressed this intention, highlighting that relying solely on the CSTO and the partnership with Russia is insufficient for ensuring security. Moscow viewed this decision as unfriendly.

As a result, there is now a possibility that if President Putin were to visit Armenia, he could potentially be subject to detainment under the ICC's jurisdiction.

Norway has joined the 11th package of EU sanctions against Russia. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Norway has announced that these new restrictions against Russia include additional bans on transit through Russia for goods that could contribute to the Russian defense sector's development and enhance its technological potential, along with goods applicable to the aerospace industry.

Furthermore, as part of these sanctions, Norway is prohibiting trucks with trailers and semi-trailers registered in Russia from passing through its territory.

It's worth noting that Norway has introduced sanctions with some exceptions, such as the prohibition of tankers involved in oil transshipment from Russian vessels from entering EU ports when there is reason to believe they are involved in the violation of the ban on importing Russian oil into the EU. Norway's Foreign Ministry is still considering the best way to implement this specific ban.

Ukraine, Poland, and Lithuania have reached an agreement to establish a "green corridor" for the transit of Ukrainian grain to the port of Klaipeda, as reported by the Ministry of Agrarian Policy.

Under this agreement, veterinary, sanitary, and phytosanitary controls for all agricultural cargo heading to the port of Klaipeda in Lithuania will be shifted from the Ukrainian-Polish border to the port itself. This move is expected to expedite the transit process through Poland.

The agreement was made during an online meeting involving Ukraine's Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food, Mykola Solskyi, Poland's Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Robert Telus, and Lithuania's Minister of Agriculture, Kästutis Navickas. Both Poland and Lithuania expressed their support for this control mechanism, considering it a constructive step by Ukraine.

The Ukrainian national team will not participate in the Youth World Judo Championship in Portugal due to the inclusion of Russian athletes in the tournament under neutral status.

According to Mykhailo Koshlyak, the president of the Judo Federation of Ukraine, one of the Russian participants allowed into the competition is an active-duty military serviceman. Koshlyak expressed his concerns, stating that while judo promotes respect for opponents and encourages this on the tatami, in the current context, such respect seems impossible.

Koshlyak also emphasized that the concept of "neutral" athletes appears questionable, as the international community generally recognizes that athletes from a country involved in a conflict in the heart of Europe are seeking "neutrality" as a guise.

In a rather bizarre twist, Russia is accusing its own military of being the Resistance which has been using UAVs against military targets

The full-fledged operation of Ukrainian ports is a guarantee of free access of Ukrainian producers to world markets, — the member of the Finance Committee Oleksii Leonov

🔹 Today, the entire Ukrainian port cluster is dealing with the most important issues for Ukraine: preserving jobs at enterprises, foreign currency and tax revenues to the budget, which directly affects the stability of the hryvnia and the entire domestic economy.

💬Due to the full-scale russian aggression, ten out of thirteen ports of our country were blocked. And despite the war and shelling, over the past 15 months, private companies have invested almost $100 million in this region to develop port infrastructure. In addition, the Government has financed dredging works, and in the future the Ministry of Infrastructure plans to increase the capacity of Ukrainian ports on the Danube by 1.7 times, the parliamentarian said.

An FSB agent was detained in Kiev for trying to join the Drone Army school.

The FSB agent collected intelligence information about the special forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the SBU, and also tried to enroll in one of the Kyiv schools of the Drone Army. After enrolling in the institution, he had to establish the locations of the Defense Forces training grounds, where cadets are taught to control attack and reconnaissance drones.

As the SBU reported, the occupiers then wanted to carry out targeted air attacks on these objects.

In addition, the attacker walked around the streets of Kyiv and recorded the locations of Ukrainian defenders in the city. While photographing one of the military units, he was detained.

What is known about the agent:
▪️A 49-year-old entrepreneur from Kyiv was recruited remotely two months ago;

Military units, FSB, GRU: Moscow authorities have posted the addresses of sensitive facilities online

It is reported that a 434-page document was published on the website of the Moscow City Hall with a list of special electricity consumers who cannot be disconnected from the power supply “under any circumstances.”

The document was approved by Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin and is currently no longer available. But it published the addresses of all military units, institutions and organizations of the Russian Ministry of Defense stationed in Moscow, including Russian military intelligence. The list also includes objects in Serebryany Bor, including dachas associated with the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

This is a gift from Sobyanin to the Ukrainian Armed Forces for the Day of Defenders and Defenders ! The clumsy Russian “pe-ve-o”, expect guests!

The appeals court supported the position of the prosecutor's office regarding the punishment of a man who, together with the Russians, robbed the houses of fellow villagers

Earlier, the court found guilty a 62-year-old man who had been repeatedly tried for aiding and abetting the aggressor state.

Prosecutors proved in court that the resident of Novy Burluk actively supported the Russian Federation and expressed his position against Ukraine and its authorities. After the occupation of the settlement, the man helped the army of the aggressor country and became an "assistant" of the Russian commandant.

Since March of last year, he has been "directing" the Russian military to the homes of his fellow villagers with the aim of further robbery.

After that, Russian servicemen together with the convict conducted "searches" in people's houses

Strike drones attack Russian aircraft factory producing X-59 missiles
 
✔️ On 1 October 2023, a strike on the Smolensk Aviation Plant disrupted the production of X-59 missiles of various modifications.
 
👉 According to confirmed reports, three of the four drones hit the target, causing significant damage to the production facilities of the aggressor state's military enterprise.
 
📌 The X-59 (X-59MK2) air-to-surface missile with a range of up to 280 km is one of the most frequently used by the Russian Aerospace Forces to fire at military and civilian targets in Ukraine.
Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson regions suffer the most from the use of such weapons.
