In addition to the supply of the SPAAs, there will be training courses for the Ukrainian servicemen. The TASS reported while citing the DPA about the intention to transfer the Gepards to Ukraine in July. A total of 15 Gepards, and 60,000 shells, will be transferred. Previously Germany had a shortage of shells for the Gepards, which is why the supply of these combat vehicles to Ukraine was constantly delayed. 5 Ukraine The Russian Ministry of Defense showed the footage of the combat work of the Russian Sukhoi SU-35S multirole fighters, which are used during the special military operation in Ukraine. The footage was published on 23rd of May. "During their sorties, the SU-35S aircraft continue to destroy the enemy military targets by using a wide range of airborne weapons. They interact with the SU-34 bombers to complete the flight missions, and to cover the friendly aircraft" - the ministry stated. “In order to destroy the Ukrainian aviation equipment, the radar stations, and the air defense systems - the Russian Air Force uses several types of guided high-precision air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles. The combat sorties are taking place daily and nightly, in all weather conditions" - the Ministry of Defense concluded. 6 Ukraine - Poland "Vladimir Zelensky intends to submit a bill to the Ukrainian Parliament, according to which a special legal status will be given in Ukraine to the citizens of Poland" - said Olga Sovgirya, a Ukrainian deputy from the pro-presidential political party "Servant of the People". Vladimir Zelensky commented on his decision with the following words: “There should be no barriers between us. The state border doesn’t separate the mentality of the Ukrainian and Polish people for a long time. Thus we have agreed to show it via an agreement in the near future. Firstly with the joint border and customs control, and later on a single conditional border, when Ukraine becomes a member of the EU" - end of quote.
