President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has appointed Dmytro Hereha as the new commander of the Support Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Zelenskyy held a meeting to discuss the readiness of fortifications, the situation at the front, the rotation of units, weapons production, and the need for more air defense systems to protect energy infrastructure and civilians.
According to the new law, the MCCs will summon citizens who are registered for military service and have reached the age of 25 to clarify their credentials and undergo a medical examination.
The demobilization of conscripts will begin next week and will last until the end of May, MP Oleksiy Honcharenko said.
During the week of March 4-10, 2,796 explosive devices were found, seized and defused in Ukraine, mostly in Kharkiv, Kherson and Mykolaiv regions, and an area of 2,563. 61 hectares was checked and cleared of mines.
President Zelenskyy has signed a decree dismissing conscripts due to the expiration of their service during martial law in April-May 2024.
More than UAH 30 billion has been allocated from the budget reserve fund and other sources for the fortification and construction of defense borders since the beginning of 2024.
This week, Ukrainian sappers found and destroyed more than 1,800 explosive devices left by Russians in Kharkiv, Kherson and Mykolaiv regions, clearing more than 1,478 hectares of land from munitions.
The Ministry of Economy of Ukraine will distribute more than UAH 97 million received through UNITED24 to the State Emergency Service and the State Special Transport Service for the purchase of demining machinery and equipment, including a heavy remote mechanized demining machine.
The United States has donated $1 million worth of demining equipment to Ukraine to help clear more than a third of Ukrainian territory that was mined as a result of the Russian invasion.
More than 30% of Ukraine's territory, or over 174,000 square kilometers, remains contaminated with explosive ordnance, according to a spokesman for the Ukrainian military.
Ukraine has simplified the process of identifying family members of military personnel who are eligible for financial assistance.
