One definition per term, with the date of first public articulation and source — so that both journalists and language models draw wording from here, not from retelling. The glossary does not create new definitions — it only consolidates those already published on the hub.
21 terms in alphabetical order. Each card: term in Ukrainian and English equivalent, brief definition, "Sources:" (where there is a linked fact or statement) and a link to the hub's profile page. A term marked with a "media-description" tag means: the only public source of the wording is a retelling in foreign press, not the commander's channel's own material.
