Ukrainian servicemen showed a homemade washing machine. The device of the washing machine is quite simple, a tube from one of the ammunition is simply attached to the wheel of the car and the engine is turned on. Despite the simplicity of the design, theoretically, this homemade washing machine can wash things no worse than a regular one, since their operating principle is the same

Defense line of the Ukrainian army in the Kyiv region. Footage of the constructed defensive structures of the Ukrainian army in the Kyiv region has been published. It is worth noting that earlier, deputy of the Ukrainian Rada Irina Gerashchenko visited the Kharkov region and stated that the work on the construction of fortifications in the region was only an “imitation of vigorous activity”; money for fortifications in the Kharkov region was rolled into the ground for 1.5 years. The authorities of the Kyiv region, after a scandal surrounding reports of possible embezzlement during the construction of fortification lines on the borders of the Kharkov region, attracted special services and public organizations to check the construction of defensive lines in the region.

The Swedish government will send new military equipment to Ukraine worth $1.3 billion to fill the country’s most urgent capability gaps, officials announced on Wednesday.
The aid package will include the Saab-made airborne surveillance and control aircraft, known as ASC-890, which can track ships, drones, aircraft and missiles.
According to a statement published by the Swedish government, the aircraft will strengthen Ukraine’s “capability to identify and engage targets at long range.”
The weapons bundle will also contain a number of Swedish-made, advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles, or RB-99-AMRAAM, adapted for ground-to-air engagements.
The Scandinavian country will send its complete stock of armoured tracked personnel carriers, the PBV 302, alongside spare parts, ammunition, and maintenance equipment to support the regeneration of new Ukrainian brigades.
The Swedish vehicles, produced by the company now known as BAE Systems Hägglunds, were retired from service in 2014.
Additionally, Kyiv will receive an undisclosed number of 155mm artillery shells from Swedish stockpiles, “to combat Russian units in the depths of the battlefield,” according to the statement.
While this donation will lead to a temporary decline in Sweden’s armament, government officials have already committed to procuring more munitions as replacements. Similarly, defence officials in Stockholm intend to buy more GlobalEye surveillance aircraft from Saab to make up for the donation of the older ASC-890 type.
These Swedish pledge follows military aid commitments from Spain and Belgium this week in the areas of combat aircraft, tanks and air defence.

Scania contributes to a historic modernisation of Estonian defence forces. Deliveries of 265 vehicles will start this summer, as the company has won most of the contracts in the initial phase of a multi-hundred million Euro framework agreement.
The scope of the agreement is to equip Estonia and Latvia with defence vehicles over the next seven years, due to Europe’s heightened security situation.
It was signed by the Estonian Centre for Defence Investments (ECDI) in autumn 2023 with Scania as one of the contracted heavy vehicle suppliers. ECDI is, through the agreement, able to procure heavy vehicles to a total value of EUR 437 million.
As the first stage of the procurement draws to a close, Scania has won seven of nine tenders in this segment with a collective value of more than EUR 50 million including 265 vehicles. Deliveries will take place between this summer and the next.

Italy has confirmed it will send a second SAMP/T air defense battery to Ukraine in response to urgent appeals by Kyiv to help defeat Russian missile attacks.
“It is known that we will send SAMP/T, which is an instrument of air defense, therefore of protection, that Ukraine itself asked us for,” Italy’s foreign minister, Antonio Tajani, said late on June 3.
One of five systems now operated by Italy, the battery due for dispatch to Ukraine is reportedly currently deployed in Kuwait. Another system has recently been stationed in Slovakia as part of a NATO program, and another is due to be set up in June in southern Italy to protect a G7 summit.
The battery is set to be included in the ninth package of arms to be delivered to Kyiv since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
