Ми з партнерами запускаємо перший в Україні міжнародний інженерний челендж, сфокусований на технологічному рішенні – екскавації сигналу.
Сьогодні екскавація один із найскладніших і найнебезпечніших етапів гуманітарного розмінування. У більшості випадків вона виконується вручну і займає до 60–80% часу сапера.
Саме тут потрібен технологічний прорив, який:
– зменшить потребу в ручній роботі;
– підвищить безпеку саперів;
– зможе працювати в реальних польових умовах і масштабуватися.
❗️Долучитися можуть ті, хто працюють у таких сферах:
▪️Інженерія;
▪️AI / Software;
▪️Гуманітарне розмінування;
▪️Наука;
▪️Cтартапи;
▪️Бізнес та інші суміжні сфери.
➡️Учасники отримають:
▪️підтримку менторів та доступ до повного циклу розробки;
▪️фінансування прототипів;
▪️роботу з експертами, які безпосередньо працюють у розмінуванні;
▪️тестування рішень у польових умовах;
▪️можливість довести продукт масштабування.
Minesight Innovation Challenge пройде у кілька етапів та стартує з онлайн Kick-off події, де буде представлено задачу, критерії відбору та етапи роботи.
Челендж реалізується американською неприбутковою організацією Minesight спільно з національною платформою Demine Ukraine за підтримки Гуманітарного фонду Сергія Притули та Міністерства економіки, довкілля та сільського господарства України.
У цьому п��оєкті Україна виступає як середовище, де інженерні рішення можна не лише розробити, а одразу перевірити в реальних умовах і масштабувати.
📌Реєструйтеся на Kick-off до 8 квітня та дізнайтеся всі умови та деталі участі в Minesight Innovation Challenge.
➡️Деталі та форма участі – за посиланням у першому коментарі.
The UAE have been a major transshipment hub for Western goods going to Russia. Chart shows UAE exports to Kyrgyzstan, which obviously never go there but head straight to Moscow. All these transshipments now come to a crashing halt. One positive upside...

The US, the EU and the UK deserve huge credit for their combined onslaught of sanctions on Russia. The goal of these sanctions is to starve Russia of revenues, which is happening. If Putin runs out of money, the economy will collapse and the fighting ends.

⚡️ Horrific Russian war crimes in Kherson, known as “human safari,” are now mapped—every drone strike on civilians documented by @tochnyi.
Since 2023, over 3,000 casualties have been recorded.
Map showing reported Russian drone incursions into Poland. Does not look random (14 drones): It looks like a deliberate attempt by fascist Russia to test NATO air defenses over a part of Polish territory used as a transit point for Western aid to democratic Ukraine.
Last night, Russia tested NATO’s drone defense capabilities by attacking Poland - and NATO failed miserably.
Ukraine successfully defends against hundreds of drones, while NATO jets scramble to shoot down just a few.
Russia escalates its terror against Ukraine and this needs to get a strong response from our allies.
For the first time, more than 800 (!) drones and missiles overnight. Civilians killed and injured, civilian infrastructure damaged in Kyiv, Odesa, Kremenchuk, Kryvyi Rih, Zaporizhzhia, among other cities.
For the first time since the beginning of full-scale war, Russia damaged the Ukrainian Government building in Kyiv. This alone is a serious escalation.
The greatest cynicism is that these brutal attacks come just as President Trump makes every effort to achieve peace. But instead of reciprocating these efforts and agreeing to a leaders’ meeting, Putin rejects diplomacy and escalates terror.
Only pressure on Moscow can end its escalation of terror. The Russian war machine runs on oil and gas revenues. We urge our allies to defund it in order to end the war.
Russian terror “anti-records” require strong responses. New severe sanctions on Russia and new strengthening for Ukraine, particularly in air defense. Waiting will not bring results—action is needed now.
Following my EU "Wall of Shame" tweet this weekend, I got a lot of requests to add countries. This "Wall" adds the Baltics, Sweden, Finland and France. Countries in orange have cracked down on transshipments to Russia via Kyrgyzstan. Countries in blue keep looking the other way.
Iryna and her two daughters, Alina and Anastasia, had fled the russian war in the Donetsk region, seeking refuge and safety. Last night, the terrorist state russia murdered all three of them in Kyiv. Unforgivable.

Overnight russian attack on Kyiv on July 31 killed Vitaliy Raboshchuk, 42, and his 18-year-old daughter, Vlada. Their beloved dog, Spike, also perished with the family.
Kyiv. 6 dead.
4 of them were in Sviatoshynskyi district, 2 - in Solomianskyi district. Among the dead is a child, a six-year-old boy.
The rescue operation continues.
RUSSIA KILLED THEM
It's a horrible morning in Kyiv. The brutal Russian strikes destroyed entire residential buildings and damaged schools and hospitals. Civilians are injured and killed. There are still people under the rubble.
It is probably time to reduce to zero all of the timeframes that had been given to Putin to demonstrate a constructive approach. President Trump has been very generous and very patient with Putin, trying to find a solution.
Putin does it on purpose. He does not care about any attempts to put an end to the killing. He only seeks to destroy and kill. Because the entire existence of this war criminal is based on this senseless war, which he cannot win but refuses to end. He must face justice.
It's time to make him feel the pain and consequences of his choices. It's time to put maximum pressure on Moscow. It is time to synchronise all sanctions steps. It's time to achieve peace through strength.
Dmitry Artyakov, the son of a top Russian defense official, has been charged by a Spanish judge at the National Court with being “criminally responsible for the crime of organized crime” in addition to “money laundering,” according to court documents obtained by OCCRP.

🔴 Russia conducted one of the most massive attacks on Ukraine to date tonight.
Preliminarily, Russian troops deployed:
- Between 560 and 700 drones.
- Over 15 Kh-101 cruise missiles.
The main targets of the assault were Lviv, Lutsk, and Chernivtsi.
🔴 Russian forces targeted Kyiv in a combined drone and missile attack tonight.
According to preliminary reports, the attack involved:
- about 500 Shahed drones and decoy drones
- 6–10 Iskander-M/KN-23 ballistic missiles
- 3–4 Iskander-K or Kh-101 cruise missiles.
Just look at this. Russia launched 728 drones at Ukraine tonight — the most so far. The attacks are escalating. Russia grows bolder with every delay and every silence.
