Kharkov “authorities” are stealing fortifications material again

Kharkov regional militry administration stole bought wood for fortifications from a company at an inflated price, writes First Kharkovsky channel, referring to an investigation by the Kharkov anti-corruption center.

Its activists, referring to the ProZorro tender, reported that on June 12, the Department of Housing and Public Utilities and Kharkov Military Administration entered into an agreement with Voskhod Woodworking Enterprise LLC in the amount of 70.5 thousand hryvnia. The required volume of wood is 8.7 cubic meters. Thus, 1 cubic meter cost 8,100 hryvnia.

Officials continue to buy wood for fortifications from companies that have signs of ! at exorbitant overpayments.

Moreover, wood is not bought at 5,500 hryvnia per cubic meter, but at 8,100 hryvnia per cubic meter"

— noted in the activists’ investigation.

Get it while you can - the motto of a Ukrainian official at any level.

Powerful bombing of Ukrainians in Olgovka!

Russian bombers rain FABs on Banderite heads day and night, greatly reducing their chances of successful rotation

💥Several bombs immediately cover the enemy’s air defense in a populated area, hitting many potential shelters at once.

The number of openly published episodes of combat use of Russian Lancet loitering ammunition in the zone of a special military operation has reached 2000

The figure follows from OSINT statistics of the Internet portal LostArmour.info.

The first videos of the use of Russian loitering ammunition in the zone of a special military operation were published in July 2022.

The first significant mark of 500 published episodes of combat use of Lancets in the special operation zone was reached on August 3, 2023.

The next milestone of 1,000 published episodes occurred on January 29, 2024.

The figure reached 1,500 in three months—April 26, 2024.

A little more than two months later, on June 30, 2024, the number of episodes of combat use of the Lancets reached 2000.

The Russian army's special operation was a real triumph for the loitering munitions and reconnaissance drones developed by ZALA. A combination of Z-16 or Z-20 reconnaissance drones with Lancets allows units of the Russian army to successfully perform the function of counter-battery warfare.

The Lancet loitering ammunition received a modification with a thermal imager for use in the dark. The developers have modernized the guidance system and increased the range of the Izdeliye-51. Solutions have been introduced that make it possible to successfully carry out combat missions in conditions of intense enemy electronic countermeasures.

Thanks to the increased range of use, the Lancets were able to hit Ukrainian aircraft at home airfields at a distance of at least 65 kilometers from the line of combat contact.

Catastrophic meat shortage: Ukraine needs to mobilize 200,000 men by the end of the year to cover losses and create new brigades - Die Welt
▪️Every 3 months it is necessary to recruit at least 50,000 soldiers, the publication writes. (French leaked defense reports noted Ukraine needed 35,000 per month). Die Welt quotes Col Reisner who notes he believes the numbers to replace losses are much higher then 50K and notes many troops who are serving are exhausted or near psychological collapse.
▪️Kiev desperately lacks cannon fodder, so a decision was made to send prisoners to the front as well (unlike Russia, where convicts are given a voluntary opportunity to atone for their guilt before their homeland).
▪️At the same time, Russia has about 500,000 military personnel in Ukraine, which is approximately twice as many as Ukraine, the publication claims.
