๐บ๐ธ๐ท๐บ๐บ๐ฆ New York Times journalist Nanna Haittmann spent six days with the Russian "Akhmat" unit near Sudzha, reporting on it. This caused outrage from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.
The reporter visited villages through which the summer Ukrainian operation passed and observed the aftermath of the fighting.
The article is titled "Landscape of Death: What Remains Where Ukraine Invaded Russia."

Uncollected bodies of soldiers still lie in the fields near Martynovka, and decomposing corpses of civilians are in the destroyed houses. "The fields were littered with the carcasses of cows and pigs, as well as the bodies of civilians and soldiers," writes Haittmann.
"In the kitchen of one of the houses in the village of Martynovka, I saw a practically naked male body at close range with signs of violence: a wound on the neck and a hole in the chest resembling a gunshot wound. Who killed this person and under what circumstances is unclear," writes the reporter.

Among the dead is a 68-year-old woman who, according to her daughters, could not be evacuated. There are many such stories in the report, and some of the characters blame the Russian authorities for what happened, but others blame Ukrainian strikes. Those who survived spent seven months without food, water, electricity, medicine, and communication.
Many residents of Sudzha said they buried at least a dozen neighbors. Some said they buried 40 or more.
"The destruction caused public anger against the Russian authorities (due to the failure of defense and incomplete evacuation - Ed.), as well as against Ukraine and its Western supporters," writes the reporter.
๐บ๐ฆ๐ท๐บ Russian hackers broken into the main program of the Ukrainian army for command and control, monitoring the positions of the Russian army and moving units.

This program is called "Delta" and, in fact, is the "digital brain" of the Ukrainian military.
It appeared in service in 2023. Soon, Kiev allowed it to be placed in the Internet cloud outside the country.
It was said that this would protect the system from missile and cyber attacks.
Russian hackers from KillNet, PalachPro and Beregini hacked Delta and downloaded all the data that the Ukrainian command had.

The program displays a map in real time with marked positions of Russian units, integrated data from drones, satellites, reconnaissance (including artillery) and data interceptions.
For example, if a drone recorded a convoy of equipment, an operator marked it and almost instantly Himars or UAVs can be aimed at it.
