Ukraine's Arms Procurement Fraud and Military Events

Ukrainian investigators have uncovered a fraudulent scheme in arms procurement, focusing on contracts to procure artillery shells at inflated prices. Russian drone attacks on Ukraine's Odessa city and the improvement of transportation routes for Ukrainian grain are also notable events. The Ukrainian air force shot down three Russian air force Sukhoi Su-34 fighter-bombers in a missile-ambush, marking one of the worst single-day losses for the Russian air arm in the war on Ukraine.
