AP: Adviser to the head of Zelensky's office Podolyak spoke out against a potential peace agreement with Russia. In his opinion, it could make Russia stronger.

"It could lead to a freeze of the conflict. This means that the Russian Federation will work on its mistakes and modernize its army," Podolyak noted.

💥Russian Uragan MLRS crews launch leaflet projectiles on Ukrainian positions in Avdeyevka direction

Leaflet projectiles are rocket-propelled rounds in which propaganda leaflets are installed instead of strike elements and explosives.

Each such shell contains more than 4,000 A5 leaflets calling for voluntary accumulation of weapons by Ukrainian servicemen and surrendering to captivity, which will preserve life and guarantee a return to their relatives. Such a munition has a distinctive red color in comparison with conventional projectiles, and the fuse has a trigger timer, which is adjusted depending on the range of the target.

Pentagon accounting errors raise transparency questions, open door to sending $2 billion in arms to Ukraine

The Pentagon has found another $2 billion worth of accounting errors for Ukraine aid, paving the way to sending additional arms to the Kiev regime.

Combined with $6.2 billion in overestimated arms and equipment, the improperly valued assets have reached a total of $8.2 billion.

The US Department of Defense (DoD) is facing challenges in assessing the cost of military items sent to Ukraine due to the vague definitions of value in the Foreign Assistance Act, as per the Government Accountability Office (GAO).

⚡️ Last June, the DoD acknowledged a $6.2 billion error stemming from its overvaluation of military items provided to the Kiev regime.

⚡️ On June 13, 2024, the Department of Defense Office of Inspector General (DoD OIG) raised a red flag over the Pentagon's failure to implement updated policies to tackle its accounting errors. According to preliminary estimates, the department overvalued defense equipment provided to Ukraine by an additional $1.9 billion.
The apparent waste of funds related to the provision of military aid to the Kiev regime has been exacerbated by suspicions of Ukrainian corruption.

⚡️ In January, the DoD OIG concluded that officials and diplomats in the US and Europe had failed to quickly or fully account for around 40,000 weapons sent to the front.

⚡️ The same month, Ukrainian contractors and Defense Ministry officials were accused of embezzling nearly $40 million allocated to buying 100,000 mortar shells, as per Ukraine's Security Service (SBU).

⚡️ Watchdogs allege the figure of misappropriated funds could be higher. Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime (GI-TOC) also refers to growing concerns over Ukrainian weapons smuggling.

🪖 The Ukrainian Armed Forces may retreat near Toretsk in the Donetsk region, risking falling into Russian encirclement

The Russian Armed Forces are advancing on Toretsk from the west through Zaliznoye and Pivnichnoe in the DPR, as well as from the south through the village of New York. As a result, part of the Ukrainian positions formed a ledge, a kind of “cauldron,” says Julian Roepcke from the German tabloid Bild.

“This means that the Ukrainians must retreat if they fail to retake residential areas of New York. Otherwise they will be completely surrounded there, which is not what they want. Therefore, most likely, they will soon leave there,” the expert believes.

The EU will send 1.5 billion euros received as proceeds from frozen Russian assets to Ukraine on Friday, the European Commission said.

Ukraine will not receive the proceeds from Russian assets directly, as the money will go to a peace fund to compensate EU countries for weapons, the European Commission noted.
