MOD and map updates. Russians continue their offensive around Popasna, Izium and Severodonetsk making minor gains over the last few days at the cost of men and equipment. Russians have apparently lost so much equipment that commanders are 'refusing' to evacuate their wounded soldiers because of the risk of losing more equipment. It doesn't help that there has been significant attrition in the Russian command structure that a lot of NCO's making these decisions are very green. That hasn't stopped the Russians from pushing into Severodonetsk itself though with fighting happening inside the city now. Ukrainians may have to pull back at some point across the river to Lysychansk so they do not get encircled.
Ukrainians have started an offensive in Kherson, though it is too early to see what the results will be yet.
No other advances in the north or south.

Poland has given 18 of its brand new 155mm KRAB self propelled artillery to the fight, this is surprising since these units are considered state of the art, Poles have only produced 90 units of these so far, and the production run is not even complete yet. These will join the M109s provided by the Americans and Belgium, 12 PzH 2000 systems provided to the Ukrainians by the Dutch and Germans, and the Cesar systems provided by the French.

A deep dive into how badly corruption has decimated the Russian military and why there is such a gigantic culture of looting in the RuAF. By Russia leadership's own estimates 20% of the Russian military budget gets stolen, which is huge, but this has the effect of reducing Russia's combat effectiveness by more than half.
