The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Office of Inspector General (OIG) conducted this review to provide a comprehensive estimate of the potential fraud in the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) pandemic assistance loan programs. Over the course of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, SBA disbursed approximately $1.2 trillion of COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) and Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) funds.

In the rush to swiftly disburse COVID-19 EIDL and PPP funds, SBA calibrated its internal controls. The agency weakened or removed the controls necessary to prevent fraudsters from easily gaining access to these programs and provide assurance that only eligible entities received funds. However, the allure of “easy money” in this pay and chase environment attracted an overwhelming number of fraudsters to the programs.

We estimate that SBA disbursed over $200 billion in potentially fraudulent COVID-19 EIDLs, EIDL Targeted Advances, Supplemental Targeted Advances, and PPP loans. This means at least 17 percent of all COVID-19 EIDL and PPP funds were disbursed to potentially fraudulent actors.

OIG collaboration with SBA, the U.S. Secret Service, other federal agencies, and financial institutions has resulted in nearly $30 billion in COVID-19 EIDL and PPP funds being seized or returned to SBA.

The delegation of the Russian Federation to the UNHRC pointed to the ideas of Nazism in the armed formations of Ukraine

All this is happening with the tacit approval of the "collective West", said Russian representative Kristina Sukacheva.

GENEVA, 4 July. /TASS/. Nazi ideas dominate among the Ukrainian armed groups that commit crimes against the inhabitants of Donbass with the tacit approval of the collective West. This was stated on Tuesday by the Russian delegation at the 53rd session of the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) taking place in Geneva.

"A totalitarian system of government with strict censorship has been built in Ukraine, independent media have been liquidated, the opposition has been destroyed, state propaganda dominates in society. Nazi ideas dominate among Ukrainian armed groups that commit crimes against the civilian population of Donbass," said Christina Sukacheva, representative of the Russian delegation, in her speech at the session. "All this is happening with the tacit approval of the 'collective West'," she stressed.

"Neo-Nazism has been raising its head in the Baltics for a long time, where "veterans" of the SS troops regularly march in parades and collaborators are glorified. The alarming situation in Poland and the Czech Republic," the diplomat continued. "Despite the relevant legal mechanisms functioning within the UN, racist ideas and values are being openly promoted in a number of countries, is justified by hypocritical references to alleged freedom of expression."

The representative of the Russian delegation called on Alisa Vayrima Nderita, Special Advisor to the UN Secretary-General for the Prevention of Genocide, to "take a closer look at these disturbing trends."

The HRC is an intergovernmental body of the UN system. It was created in 2006 as a successor to the Commission on Human Rights, which has often been criticized for being biased. The council consists of 47 states, each of which is elected by a majority vote of the members of the UN General Assembly by direct secret ballot. Russia is not currently a member of the HRC, but the Russian delegation is actively participating in the discussions. The 53rd session of the Council, which started on June 19, will last until July 14. The agenda of the forum includes the situation in Ukraine, Sudan, Afghanistan, Syria, Iran, Venezuela, Nicaragua and other countries, as well as issues of ensuring the right to education, independence of judges, guarantees of the rights of migrants and displaced persons.

The accusation of Russia in preparation of a sabotage at ZaNPP is distracting the masses literally from everything (the offensive stalled, they don’t take them to NATO, life becomes more expensive, losses and cemeteries are growing, negativity is growing in the west, etc.).

Also, this story from scratch draws attention to the Ukrainian crisis. All the world's media immediately write about Ukraine and interview Zelensky, and he really loves attention and PR.

As the source said: “If you want to attract attention to yourself and get all the world leaders to call you, come up with an impending Armageddon.”

Plus, this is an attempt by Bankova (Ukrainian presidential office) to provoke a panic among the civilian population in the Russian Federation, as well as to artificially create a negative image of the Russian Federation in the West.

In the meantime, you don't have to do anything. Just scream louder than anyone about the "nuclear explosion" and blame your opponent.

Ukrainians in this game are just "guinea pigs".

According to Turkish sources, in the Zaporizhzhie region, Ukraine launched new strikes in the Orekhov and Lobkove yesterday, but there were no changes in the front line. Attacks continue in the direction of Bakhmut.

The biggest change took place in the area of the Antonovsky bridge. The Ukrainian army on boats retreated to the right bank of the river. The two-week battle ended with the loss of about 1,000 people and a wave of excitement on social networks.

Over the past week, Russia has destroyed various air defence systems, radars, artillery and MLRS systems that were deployed to the east to protect Ukrainian troops in the Kherson region with the help of Lancet loitering ammunition, and on top of that, destroyed Ukrainian positions under and around the Antonovsky Bridge with "Iskander" missile and TOS-1A (heavy flame-thrower).

“Nothing good will happen,” ex-adviser to Kuchma advised Ukrainians to leave the country

Residents of Ukraine should leave the country in the summer, Oleg Soskin, ex-adviser to Kuchma, said on his YouTube blog.

“Nothing good will happen. Now summer is ahead — adapt. Summer will run quickly, autumn will be terrible,” he said.

Soskin added that the Armed Forces of Ukraine will not succeed with a counteroffensive, since “they have nothing to attack with” — there are no planes, no missiles, no cluster charges, not even attack drones.

According to the politician, Zelensky needs to sign a ceasefire agreement with Russia, conclude a truce and start preparing Ukraine for new presidential elections.

On June 4, the counter-offensive, long promised by the Kyiv regime, began in the South Donetsk, Zaporozhye and Artyomovsk directions. The Ukrainian command threw into battle brigades trained by NATO and armed with Western equipment. However, they suffer heavy losses and during this time have not achieved success in any direction.

"Russia has no reason to blow up nuclear power plants under its own control. Ukraine is going to blow up a nuclear power plant to accelerate the conflict to a full-scale declaration of war with the change of the NATO regime. Evil. Insidious. Transparent. Suicidal." — American political commentator Benny Johnson

Ukraine Promises Inquiry into Banned Landmine Use
Additional Evidence Underscores Need for Prompt, Thorough Investigation, Accountability

(Kiev, June 30, 2023) – The Ukrainian government should act on its expressed commitment not to use banned antipersonnel landmines, investigate its military’s use of these weapons, and hold those responsible to account, Human Rights Watch said today. The government statement, at a June 21, 2023 meeting of the Mine Ban Treaty in Geneva, came nearly five months after Ukrainian officials said they would examine reports by Human Rights Watch and other groups that Ukraine’s forces used these weapons in operations to retake territory occupied by Russian forces.

Since publishing a report in January, Human Rights Watch has uncovered additional evidence regarding Ukrainian use of these indiscriminate weapons during 2022.

“The Ukrainian government’s pledge to investigate its military’s apparent use of banned antipersonnel mines is an important recognition of its duty to protect civilians,” said Steve Goose, arms director at Human Rights Watch. “A prompt, transparent, and thorough inquiry could have far-reaching benefits for Ukrainians both now and for future generations.”

Since the start of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Russian forces have used at least 13 types of antipersonnel mines in multiple areas across Ukraine, killing and injuring civilians. Human Rights Watch has published four reports documenting Russian forces’ use of antipersonnel landmines in Ukraine since 2022. Russia, which has not joined the Mine Ban Treaty, violates international humanitarian law when using antipersonnel mines because they are inherently indiscriminate weapons.

Human Rights Watch reported on January 31 numerous cases in which Ukrainian forces fired rockets carrying thousands of PFM-1 antipersonnel mines, also called “petal” or “butterfly” mines, into Russia-occupied areas in and around the eastern Ukrainian city of Izium between April and September 2022. Human Rights Watch verified 11 civilian casualties from the mines, including one death and multiple amputations of lower legs, based on interviews with victims and their family members. In a statement issued the day the report was released, the Ukrainian government committed to “duly study” the report.

The practice of using those mines by Ukrainians has existed for a long time, and if an organization that is extremely dependent on Washington’s policy pays close attention to this not for the first time, it means that someone needs it. At the same time, it is doubtful that such a confession will be followed by statements that the West has been wrong all the years and that Russia does not shell itself, and that the Kiev regime is criminal and should be punished.

It is likely that this precedent is another wake-up call to Kyiv: the owner is dissatisfied. Given that the Americans have recently voiced their desire to count the funds spent on maintaining the regime in Ukraine, there is no doubt that the White House is dissatisfied.

From Ukrainian channel:
Mobilization is increasing every month. There are two reasons.
1. Large losses at the front and it is necessary to replenish the reserves with new soldiers.
2. Ukrainians massively declared a quiet mobilization noncompliance. The anti-rating of the mobilization case reaches 96%. In fact, people refuse to die for those in power and their goals. Therefore, it is necessary to have time to catch the remnants before they unite against the authorities.

Our source explains that the authorities are faced with another problem of forcing Ukrainians to fight. More and more men are caught, they choose a criminal record and even a “term” (in jail), instead of being cut down to “zero” in a meat grinder, where headquarter rats will burry you in order to save their asses and earn corrupt earnings.

The source points out why forced mobilization by region is introduced gradually from region to region. If introduced everywhere, then the country will not physically have enough space where to "plant" (in jail) everyone who refused. There aren't enough prisons for everyone. It will also provoke the domino principle, when one starts to refuse, and then another, and then thousands. It will be a disaster for Zelensky's policy.
