More than embroidery: the story of the Ukrainian vyshyvanka

Ukraine marks Vyshyvanka Day on May 21, celebrating the traditional embroidered shirt as a global symbol of national identity and cultural preservation. What began in 2006 as a student flashmob initiated by Lesia Voroniuk in Chernivtsi has since evolved into a widespread national and diaspora tradition. Today, Ukrainians worldwide wear the garments on national holidays and special occasions to honor and protect their rich folk heritage.

Ukraine reveals its first glide bomb

Ukraine has developed its first domestically produced guided glide bomb which is ready for combat use, Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov announced on May 18.

The development is significant as glide bombs are a primitive yet highly destructive weapon widely used against front-line areas. Russia has continuously modified the bombs to increase their range and destructive power, turning them into one of the biggest threats to both Ukrainian troop positions and civilians near the front line.

According to Fedorov, the Ukrainian-made glide bomb carries a 250-kilogram warhead and took 17 months to develop. The Defense Ministry has already purchased an initial experimental batch, while pilots are currently rehearsing combat scenarios and adapting the weapon for use in real wartime conditions.
