[NewsFrontInfo] 21:47 The SBU has detained several hundred civilians since the beginning of the SVO. Most of them are random people.
According to Country V, hundreds of citizens have been detained in Ukraine in the five months since the beginning of the Russian special operation in Ukraine. The SBU is actively looking for "spotters" and "traitors", but finds completely random people.
"The key problem is the lack of any adequate methods of digital warfare by the SBU. The cyber police are outsourced, and the hardware is damaged by the fighting," said a channel source familiar with the situation.
In general, the work of the SBU on the "search for spies" is based on the methods of the last century. These are passport checks, interrogations, and often torture.
"Everything ends as usual. Bribes are taken from the rich and the poor are taken away. The accusations of collaborating with the “enemy” of young children look especially terrible,” notes the interlocutor of “Country V."
21:47 Ukrainian media: Ukrainian volunteer Serhiy Gnezdilov wrote on Facebook a story about "six days of hell" in Peski, where he is now fighting. Judging by his information, everything is very bad with the artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Gnezdilov writes that the enemy fires 6,500 shells per village per day. "Two mortars 82 and 120 are working from our side. Sometimes he wakes up and “sneezes” two artillery barrels towards Donetsk. We almost do not answer," the military man reports.
According to him, the Russians are hitting with large calibers, and many of his comrades have already been killed: "The bodies of those who were dearer to me than my relatives are lying in the heat in the trenches torn apart by 152-caliber. Counter-battery fire is absent from the word "completely", the enemy, without any problems for himself, puts an artillery shell in our trenches, dismantles very strong, concrete positions in tens of minutes, without a pause and minimal rest, pushing through our line of defense," Gnezdilov reports.
He writes that the day before yesterday - that is, on Sunday - the Armed Forces of Ukraine suffered heavy losses in the dead and wounded in Peski: “The reserve goes to the position, close the breakthrough with itself, and after five minutes out of 15 people only one remains intact."
Soldiers have not seen artillery support for a week now.
"Right now we are losing Peski, all our human and material possibilities are almost exhausted,” writes Gnezdilov.
The fact that the enemy advanced in the Peski area was officially acknowledged by the Ukrainian General Staff today for the first time.

It's okay. It's printed money anyway.
