According to YouTube blogger Perun the Russians have a new technique to more quickly find corruption. They monitor the battles to see if the food, fuel, and other items are causing losses when they were told those items were indeed there. From this they can quickly deduce who had access and sold them. Arrests and prosecution (whatever that means in this case) follow. The problem, Perun states is that the Russians have made no systemic changes to stop corruption which occurs at virtually every level. It’s astonishing they’ve done as well as they have. One of their best drone pilots filmed a video to be released after he died. In it, he said his commanding officer had seized and sold the equipment he’d crowd funded. Then he’d put this man in a four-man suicide squad.

This was not in a news report but from one of the Ukrainian soldiers relatives. It is a terrible war. Very stupid, very unnecessary.
The Russians... not so much.
It was reported to me, a Ukrainian soldier said, “Yes, there is a lot of corruption. But what choice do we have? If we lose we die and lose everything. If we die and win, at least our families have a chance.
