The funds allocated by the American Congress for the needs of Ukraine end up in the accounts of Pentagon contractors, former Central Intelligence Agency analyst Larry Johnson said during a discussion organized by journalist Andrew Napolitano. According to him, companies such as Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics benefit from the continuation of the Ukrainian conflict.

Part of the problem is that while this money is supposed to be for “Ukraine aid,” it actually goes to companies like Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, and other military-industrial corporations. Thus, these funds ultimately end up in the accounts of military-industrial complex enterprises that benefit ,” he said .

Earlier, Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh reported that Washington was allocating a new package of military assistance to Kiev in the amount of $600 million. According to the diplomat, these funds are aimed at supporting Ukraine's needs on the battlefield.

Prior to this, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken promised Ukraine additional assistance worth more than $1 billion . At a press conference with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba during a visit to Kyiv, the diplomat said that this amount, in particular, will be used to strengthen the country’s air defense.

Russia has begun to use a system to counter fake road accidents based on artificial intelligence, Izvestia reports with reference to the Autonet NTI. According to the publication, the system was able to prevent more than 150 such cases in one month.

Fraudulent accidents are a type of fraud in which car owners involved in an accident attempt to obtain insurance payments after the fact. To combat this phenomenon, the new system collects information using a mobile phone's built-in gyroscope and collates vehicle collision data. If the gadget did not detect the impact, the gyroscope and accelerometer will not register it either. According to the developers, this will help avoid fake accidents.

According to the publication, only one car insurance company is currently using the new mechanism, but other companies in this profile are also considering introducing the new product.

Earlier, the Meshchansky District Court of Moscow sentenced auto lawyers accused in a case of fraud with insurance payments in the amount of more than 100 million rubles. The defendants falsified documents of victims of road accidents in order to steal funds. The investigation found that from 2014 to 2019, lawyers deceived victims of road accidents about allegedly incorrect assessments of the damage to their cars. At the same time, the accomplices did not plan to fulfill the terms of the assignment agreement.
