Ukrainians complain of ‘morale-zapping’ Russian mines

"Ukrainian troops’ inability to breach Russian defensive lines is, to a large extent, due to
minefields that are “destroying
NATO-supplied armor, wounding soldiers and zapping morale,” according to the Financial Times.
Kiev’s much-lauded counteroffensive, launched last month, has stalled in the face of staunch resistance from Russian troops.“We can push with 10 brigades but it won’t work because the mines are everywhere, every half a meter there are mines,” a Ukrainian unit commander told the British newspaper."

MI6 Chief Warns Of Chinese 'Data Traps' - Says UK Using AI To Disrupt Russian Weapons Flow

"The head of Britain's
MI6 intelligence service, Richard Moore, delivered a rare public speech
in Prague on Wednesday, where he warned that
China has been striking deals with other countries which allow Beijing to capture data on foreign citizens and national projects.
Meanwhile, MI6 is using artificial intelligence "to augment, but not replace, their own judgement about how people might act in various situations," said Moore, who cited the use of bulk data "to identify and disrupt the flow of weapons to Russia for use against Ukraine." ZH
