Defense cooperation and assistance in the reconstruction of Ukraine

During a meeting in Kyiv, Zelensky and Duda discussed cooperation in the military-defense complex.

The Ukrainian President stressed that Polish companies should be more interested in cooperation, in particular in the production of drones. In Poland, they know that Ukraine is developing its military industry very dynamically, said Andrzej Duda.

According to him, to date, more than 2 thousand Polish companies have already expressed their interest in taking part in the restoration of Ukraine.

“I hope that Polish companies will actively participate in the restoration of Ukraine,” said the President of Poland.

And Andrzej Duda also expressed hope that after his presidential term, the new President of Poland, Karol Nawrocki, and Ukraine will only deepen cooperation.

According to him, they talked about the Patriot air defense systems, which Ukraine needs to protect the skies. They also discussed steps related to the peace negotiations for Ukraine. And the sanctions direction was also among the topics.

“It seems to me that the spirit of the conversation itself was productive. Therefore, this is a good signal,” President Zelensky noted.

Continuation of the dialogue

According to Zelensky, after meeting with Trump at the NATO summit in The Hague, they agreed on further dialogues between US and Ukrainian Defense Ministers Pete Hegseth and Rustem Umerov. There will also be contacts between US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha.

— We further agreed that the defense ministers, the secretary of state and the minister of foreign affairs, the head of my office, as well as his colleagues from the American side, will communicate at their level. On economic issues, our first deputy prime minister, Secretary Bessent, and there are also some American colleagues, — President Zelensky concluded.

Earlier, the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak noted that Donald Trump was interested in Ukraine's achievements in weapons production.

The US military did not use bunker buster bombs to attack Iran's nuclear facility in Isfahan, ostensibly because they were ineffective at the depth at which the facility is located.

This was stated by the Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Kaine, CNN writes.

Did the US Use Bunker Busters to Strike Iran?

As noted in the publication, the US military hit the nuclear facility in Isfahan with Tomahawk missiles. At the same time, they tried to attack the facilities in Fordow and Natanz with B2 bunker buster bombs.

US Senator Chris Murphy claims that some of Iran's capabilities are located so deep underground that the US will never be able to reach them.

“They have the ability to move a significant portion of what was salvaged to areas where there is no American bombing capability that can reach them,” he said.

The US attacks reportedly damaged infrastructure at all three of Iran's nuclear sites. But the enriched uranium remained intact, leaving the country free to return to its nuclear program if the necessary infrastructure is restored.

Congressman Michael McCaul believes the United States must make a full inventory of the uranium that remains in Iran.

That's why Iran must sit down directly with the United States, he said, so the International Atomic Energy Agency can account for every ounce of enriched uranium.

The IAEA recently confirmed that an Israeli attack in Isfahan hit a facility producing uranium enrichment centrifuges.

However, the attack on the Isfahan facility did not cause any radiation effects, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said.

In Kharkiv, the prosecutor's office and police have exposed an organization headed by the former deputy mayor of the city. The participants in the scheme are suspected of embezzling UAH 5.4 million from the budget. This money was allocated for the construction of fortifications.

This was reported by Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko.

Through them, goods for fortifications were purchased at prices inflated by more than 30% above market prices.

— The investigation has established that as a result of the group's criminal activity, the state suffered damage in the amount of UAH 5.4 million. As part of the pre-trial investigation, other episodes of the activity of this criminal organization will be examined, — Kravchenko said.

Law enforcement officers have already conducted a series of searches in Kharkov and the region, during which they seized computer equipment, accounting and financial documents.

The suspects were informed of the suspicion; they are accused of participating in a criminal organization with the aim of embezzling budget funds on an especially large scale during martial law.

The defendants in the case have already been detained. A petition has been filed with the court to select a preventive measure in the form of detention without setting the amount of bail.

Media sources, in particular RBC-Ukraine, reported that suspicion was announced against the former deputy mayor of Kharkiv and city council member from the Kernes Bloc – Successful Kharkiv party, Andrey Rudenko.

According to the Prosecutor General, the organizer of the criminal group was served with a notice of suspicion under Part 1 of Article 255, Part 3 of Article 27, Part 4 of Article 28, Part 4 of Article 191, Part 3 of Article 27, Part 4 of Article 28, Part 5 of Article 191, Part 3 of Article 27, Part 4 of Article 28, Part 1 of Article 366 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. While the perpetrators were charged under Part 3 of Article 255, Part 4 of Article 28, Part 4 of Article 191, Part 4 of Article 28, Part 5 of Article 191, Part 4 of Article 28, Part 1 of Article 366 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

– The funds stolen from the budget must be returned to the state in full. And this applies not only to this case. And I warn everyone who wants to get rich on defense or the army – you will be held accountable with all severity, – Kravchenko emphasized.

The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has codified and approved for use in the Armed Forces the domestic unmanned ground complex Muravya.

Last week, the US intervened directly in the conflict between Israel and Iran by bombing key nuclear sites. Trump quickly moved to push for a cease-fire between the two countries.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei recently said the US strikes had produced no significant results. But Trump repeated his claim that the country's nuclear facilities had been destroyed.

All sides in the conflict declared victory, while Ali Khamenei said Israel had failed to disrupt Iran's nuclear program.

However, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi later acknowledged that the recent US and Israeli bombings had caused excessive and serious damage to the country's nuclear facilities.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that if Iran is not stopped, the country could develop nuclear weapons very quickly.

The government has decided to launch the DOT-Chain Defence digital marketplace, which will allow the military to independently order weapons according to their needs.

This was announced by Defense Minister Rustem Umerov.

DOT-Chain Defense Launched in Ukraine

The DOT-Chain system has already proven its effectiveness in the rear support of the Ukrainian army and is now being scaled up for defense procurement.

The launch of DOT-Chain Defence is scheduled for July. The military will be able to choose the type of weapon they need, and the system will significantly speed up delivery. The Defense Acquisition Agency will provide funding and supply of weapons.

At the first stage, the military will be able to order FPV drones. Subsequently, the list will expand and will include other types of drones, electronic warfare systems, and robotic systems.

Let us recall that Ukraine needs additional air defense systems and millions of drones for brigades on the front.

The Minister of Defense announced an ambitious goal to equip Ukrainian brigades with drones – several million units by 2025.

He also announced the expansion of the DOT-Chain system to include the purchase of UAVs.

Umerov confirmed the consistency of Ukraine’s position on a peaceful settlement.
