Ukraine continues to steadily develop and improve its military power. It is impossible to win the war without the systematic supply of modern military equipment to Ukraine’s Armed Forces. Currently, Ukrainian army receives new armored vehicles, anti-personnel ammunition, communications and defense systems. Colonel Lysenko also told that Ukroboronprom intends to double its production in 2015. The production of APCs-4, military vehicles “Dozor,” and tanks “Oplot” will be the priority next year. Additionally, the government of Ukraine holds negotiations on the matter of supplying Ukraine’s army with the newest military equipment.

The situation in the ATO zone remains tense. Namely the terrorists have gradually increased the shelling frequency in all directions. Terrorists shell positions of Ukrainian military using all kinds of arms, including: mortars, anti-aircraft arms, artillery and small arms. All attacks were repelled. The increased frequency of attacks implies that the terrorist continue to receive the arms and ammunition.
