There's nothing in this article that suggests corruption. Rather it is an issue of purchasing Chinese made tourniquets, which have a high defective rate. It's more of a quality control in supply chain issue - not corruption. Also the dearth of medical training is not corruption-related. It's just a function of a less than ideal match between training provided by allies for Ukrainian troops and the reality in the field. Ukraine is experiencing a huge number of amputation injuries because of the massive Russian shelling that characterizes this war. Neither of those issues are a question of "where is the money going"? |

"Vladimir Putin death rumours intensify as Kremlin cancels major public appearance"
https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/world-news/kremlin-cancels-major-vladimir-putin-31294323 "The doctors of allegedly dead Russian President Vladimir Putin are still trapped inside the despot's huge home – alongside the corpse – five days after they were unable to save his life." https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/weird-news/doctors-still-trapped-room-putins-31309974 If Putin dies now, there are a lot of balls in the air right now that could come crashing down? "It is noteworthy that the day after Putin’s death, Alexander Lukashenko spoke about peace in Ukraine and offered himself as the main peacemaker." https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/weird-news/doctors-still-trapped-room-putins-31309974 "Lukashenko expressed readiness “for a dialogue with European countries” and invited Orban over “to discuss serious matters.”" https://apnews.com/article/belarus-hungary-lukashenko-orban-russia-eu-a92b51128e1a7ceab9f04d1e212cca50 "Russia’s Central Bank has raised its key lending rate for the fourth time in half a year" "The bank raised the rate to 15%, up 200 basis points. The interest rate in the first half of the year was 7.5%." https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/russia-hikes-interest-rate-4th-time-year-inflation-104424043 "The jump, from 13 percent, would bring a long period of “tight monetary conditions” in order to ease price pressures, the bank said." https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/27/world/europe/russias-central-bank-interest-rates-inflation.html "Steadily rising domestic demand is increasingly exceeding the capabilities to expand the production of goods and the provision of services.

"FSB employees who want to quit are increasingly ignoring instructions from management, and committing acts of sabotage" "I think if there were a different mutiny tomorrow, and FSB officers were called on to protect Putin from that mutiny, I reckon maybe only 30 percent would be ready to do that," "If management comes in, some answer directly: 'If you don't like the way we work, fire us,'" https://www.newsweek.com/russia-fsb-sabotage-putin-mobilization-1837184 Starting in January, I believe Shoigu and Solovyov could be replaced, and that a series of events should unfold over the following 18 months. Stay tuned. |

Right? Can’t believe anyone would come up with such lengthy digests for free |
BAAAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHHAHHAHA!!!! I was one of the few who actively blogged against the Russian propagandists supporting Trump in his election back in 2016 on Yahoo back when no one believed it. Shows your mentality, though. The only work done comes at a price? It's a very Russian mentality, btw. That's why 2/3rds of the FSB in Russia is just going through the motions. That's also why Russian propagandists are stuck. Not sure if you recall but ten-ish years ago, Russian propaganda used to do a lot of source quoting to lend credibility to their narratives. It used to happen a lot on this website as well. Eventually the lies are exposed and the narrative collapses. This is why Russian propaganda is in bad shape right now. Their "liberation of Ukraine from Nazis" propaganda is now full-swing working against the Kremlin. Now the Kremlin is in full support of Iranian, Hamas, Syrian terrorists and/or dictatorship regimes against Jews. It becomes more difficult each day to deny that Russia's government is the Fourth Reich reborn. Don't believe me? Hear/read it from the Russian media yourself. Not difficult to find many articles like these. Enjoy!

| Oh, and throwing shade like that - you're Russian or work for the Russian's, right? Better look for a new job for yourself soon. Might find out that your pension isn't what it used to be? Just sayin' |

Now we are running out of ammo. https://www.wsj.com/world/europe/wars-push-up-demand-for-weapons-sparking-fears-of-shortages-57d664ad?mod=djemalertNEWS We need Trump back. The addled president and his low iq supporters are completely incompetent. |
We have been running out for a while. Republicans in congress think it is best to disarm and trust Russia. |
Trump wants us to just cave to Putin and let Vlad take the world over. DUMB. |

Zelensky aide quoted in Time- Ukraine is losing and Zelensky is delusional.
Delusional- like some of the posters here. Make peace and save Ukraine. |
You seem to think the US is in charge of Ukraine? It's not. This isn't Russia. What Ukraine does, as a sovereign country, is not something US policy controls. If Russia wants peace, as the invaders, they can withdraw at any time. |
Great can we stop paying the government salaries and pensions for this “sovereign” country? |
