☆ Russia's army is impossible to outflank so you have to go 'straight up the middle,' a US veteran training Ukrainian forces says

Russian forces in Ukraine can't be outflanked, a US veteran training Ukrainian troops said. He told Insider that Ukraine has no choice but to take the risky move of going "straight up the middle." "You are going to have to go straight up the middle and you're just going to have to pick where the middle is." In fact, he said the only advantage that anyone fighting Russian forces has is that "they don't know the exact second that you're coming." Get it wrong and "all you end up doing is pocketing your own forces for Russia to completely, completely destroy," he said.

Four foreign fighters and volunteers in Ukraine who knew Vasquez told Insider it was widely known he wasn't actually taking part in front-line fighting. A Pentagon representative, however, told Insider that Vasquez was never deployed to either of those places — or anywhere else. "I had to tell a million lies to get ahead," Vasquez told the Times. When Ashton-Cirillo took to Twitter to expose Vasquez, Huggett said she felt compelled to make a video to back her up. Huggett told Insider: "I'm tired, but I'm not sorry I exposed the lying scammer.

☆ Putin's new troops will suffer heavily in Ukraine as they will have basically no training, UK intel says

The first Russian conscripts have arrived at military bases, a UK intelligence briefing said. Putin's new troops will be provided with "low-level initial training," the intel briefing said. As a result, they will suffer a "high attrition rate" in Ukraine, it added. His announcement was largely seen as a sign of the failure of Russia's military in Ukraine so far. "Even if they [Russian conscripts] don't have motivation, they'll have a gun."
