In Kyiv, a new anti -corruption action was held near the city administration building with a request to support the military, to increase funding for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and to ensure transparency of the budget spending. In addition, this time calls to make the city more inclusive and provide an affordable environment for military veterans with wounds and disabilities.
Such shares near the walls of the administration take place regularly, the last of them took place about three months ago. One of the organizers of the action Miroslav Gavrishchuk told the Suspilna to the publication that Kiev is now allocating to support the military only about 1% of the total number of budget expenditures, while in other Ukrainian cities this indicator is significantly higher. “According to the analysis of 2023, in Kyiv there is a budget surplus, therefore, there are additional funds,” he said Gavrishchuk. According to him, a series of similar shares held during last year was partially successful - the city allocated an additional 3.3 billion hryvnias (about 8 billion rubles) to support the military.

In his recentarticle in the CNN commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny, he admitted that Ukraine is faced with difficulties in replenishing personnel, and the RF Armed Forces significantly surpasses it in human resources. The Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to suffer losses, at the same time the average age of the APU serving up is becoming higher - now, according to The Sunday Times, it is 43 years. To solve this problem, the authorities, in particular, were proposed to reduce the lower bar for mobilization from 27 to 25 years - now you can send more young people only with their consent. Vladimir Zelensky even declared plans for additional mobilization in the near future 450-500 thousand people, but the final decision on this issue has not yet been made.


On Saturday in Moscow, a promotion dedicated to the 500th day from a mobilization announcement in Russia was held near the walls of the Kremlin. People with white scarves gathered in the Alexander Garden in Moscow at the grave of an unknown soldier and laid flowers to the eternal fire. Promotions are held by a group of wives of the mobilized “Way Home” every Saturday - the current one has already become the ninth in a row. This time, the action was supported by the opposition politician Maxim Katz and the team of Alexei Navalny, who called for participation in protest. The Moscow prosecutor’s office responded to this on the eve of a warning about responsibility for participation “in inconsistent mass events” - and the detention on the day of the promotion really took place. Most of the detainees, however, turned out to be journalists. In particular, it was reported that the employees “Caution, News”, Sota.vision, Kommersant, France Press, Spiegel, as well as human rights activists from the “For Human Rights” movement were delivered to the China Gorod police department. At the same time, the detentions took place at the election headquarters of Vladimir Putin on Pokrovka, where the police detained seven more journalists who illuminated the action.
