"Ukraine's Security Service Busts $40 Million Arms Fraud Ring"
TL;DR Summary
Ukraine's SBU security service has arrested five individuals, including two senior officials from the ministry of defence, for an alleged $40m arms fraud involving a contract for 100,000 mortar shells. The funds were diverted to a bank account in the Balkans instead of delivering the shells. President Zelenskiy has been working to combat corruption as Ukraine seeks to join the EU and Nato. The arrests come as Russia carried out drone and missile attacks on four regions of Ukraine, injuring at least three people.
