Ursula Von Der Leyen, the aggressive pro War EU Chief, is looking for a second term.

But Ursula has a crooked past, and very possibly a crooked present.

In 2019, a scandal involving the hiring of external consultants by Von Der Leyen's Defense ministry was reported. The German government's Federal Audit Office described "dozens of irregularities in this process"

And it doesn't end there

In 2022, a corruption scandal rocked the European Parliament, with allegations that Qatar bribed EU officials to win influence. Von der Leyen called the accusations "very serious" and proposed the creation of a new ethics body to oversee the bloc, it all happend on her "Watch"

In 2023, a Belgian lobbyist filed a criminal complaint against von der Leyen, accusing her of corruption and destruction of documents in connection with vaccine negotiations between the European Commission and Pfizer, with the European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) has reportedly taken over the investigation into these allegations.

There have also been allegations of von der Leyen circumventing EU sanctions on Russia to line her own pockets, all while engaging in corrupt practices involving the Bundeswehr and sanctioned companies, the irony.

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆโš”๏ธ According to Tradition, the Situation in Key Settlements in the #Ugledar & #Avdeyevka Directions at the Day on 4 July 2024 was as followsโšก๏ธ

๐Ÿ”ด#Paraskoviyevka - the enemy is still clinging to the outskirts of the village's western part.

๐Ÿ”ด#Georgiyevka - we are fighting, we have moved a little from the outskirts.
๐ŸŸกAn interesting situation is that almost the entire settlement is located in the grey zone according to the enemy's version.
๐ŸŸกWe declare that we partially control it. The truth is that everything is complicated there.

๐Ÿ”ด#Krasnogorovka - the enemy has withdrawn the main forces, holds positions in maneuverable groups, ready for tactical withdrawal.

๐Ÿ”ด#Nevelskoye - we are crushing the enemy, there are successes, but in general the situation can be called suspended.

๐Ÿ”ด#Karlovka - frontal attack, but for this kind of combat, overwhelming forces are needed, which, unfortunately, we do not have in this direction. At the same time, we manage to put pressure, pushing the enemy to the west.

๐Ÿ”ด#Yasnobrodovka - the site has been completely occupied, but Ukrainian forces are still seeping into this gap.

๐Ÿ”ด#Novosyolovka1st - this fortress will have to be demolished.
๐ŸŸกThey are holding up well, but they are in a semicircle where artillery is shooting through everything.

๐Ÿ”ด#Voskhod and #Yevgenovka - divisions of daring people work in this direction.
๐ŸŸกIn a few days, they made another small breakthrough, occupied several settlements, where only the cleanup remained. Well done!

๐Ÿ”ด#Novoaleksandrovka - struck in the direction of #Vozdvizhenka. There is a progress.

๐ŸŽฏ The RFAF yesterday carried out strikes on enemy depots in #Odessa and #Ilyichevsk. ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ‘‡An explosion was also heard near the Odessa Airport. Secondary detonations were reported locally.

๐Ÿ’ฅIn #Crimea, amid the missile threat, a bridge was closed several times during the night, air targets were reported shot down near #Berdyansk, #Zaporozhye region. At night air defence worked in #Rostov region, 10 UAVs of the AFU were shot down. In the #Krasnodar territory as a result of UAV attack in Primorsko-Akhtarsk there are casualties. 6 people were hospitalised, the work of the power substation supplying a significant part of the town was disrupted.

๐Ÿ”นIn the
#Kharkov direction, the AFU took separate actions in the area of #Liptsy and #Tikhoye. Radio intercepts of enemy communications indicate a lack of trained personnel in the AFU units on this direction.

๐Ÿ”นFrom the eastern part of #ChasovYar (the Kanal Microdistrct), the remnants of AFU units were knocked out. The enemy is taking up defence west of the Seversky Donets-Donbass Canal.

๐Ÿ”นIn the #Toretsk (#Dzerzhynsk) sector, the RFAF are expanding their zone of control near the villages of #Druzhba and #Kirovo.

๐Ÿ”นWest of #Avdeyevka, the RFAF are resolutely developing their success after occupying a stronghold near #Sokol village in the direction of the #Voskhod village. High-intensity fighting is taking place throughout the entire frontline area

๐Ÿ”นIn the #SouthDonetsk direction, in #Krasnogorovka, the RFAF are continuing the assault on the northern part of the town. South of #Maryinka our troops reached the outskirts of #Konstantinovka west of #Paraskoviyevka. Fighting for the important logistics hub of the enemy continues.

๐Ÿ”นThe
#Zaporozhye front reports about the intensification of offensive actions of the RFAF in the #Rabotino and #Nesteryanka areas over the last few days. Enemy drones are a serious factor on this section of the front as well.

๐Ÿ”นIn the #Kherson direction, the RFAF are fighting in the island zone. The AFU is setting up ambushes and sending out drones. The enemy confidently controls the area from the air due to the multiple superiority of drones.

๐Ÿ’ฅIn #Belgorod region, the AFU shelled many peaceful settlements yesterday. A drone dropped an explosive device on two cars on the #Borisovka - #Baytsury section of the motorway. 4 civilians were injured: 2 men, a woman and a 12-year-old child.

๐Ÿ’ฅIn the #Kursk region, the intensity of the enemy's strikes is not decreasing either. In #Tyotkino, Glushkovsky district, a Ukrainian copter dropped an explosive device on a residential house, a local resident was injured by shards of broken glass. The enemy is systematically knocking out electricity infrastructure and agricultural enterprises.

๐Ÿ’ฅIn the #DPR, as a result of Nazi strikes on Gorlovka and Donetsk with NATO-made artillery, a civilian was killed and 3 wounded.

๐Ÿ”ด #Kharkov Front:
๐ŸŸก In the #Liptsy direction, the high rate of fighting at #Glubokoye remains. The RFAF complain about the significant superiority of the AFU in FPV drones, which not only stopped the advance of Russian troops, but also complicated the defence due to strikes on logistics.
๐ŸŸก In #Volchansk, heavy fighting continues along Korolenko and Sobornaya streets.
๐ŸŸก On the "Volchansk Aggregate Plant" territory, the soldiers of the Separate Assault Brigade "Lyut" attacked the positions of Russian troops:
๐Ÿ“ 50.289999, 36.941031
๐ŸŸก In the town's northeastern part, according to Russian resources, Russian troops attacked the AFU positions along Stepnaya Street, which was previously under RFAF control (a grey zone has been added instead of a red one):
๐Ÿ“ 50.303812, 36.961340
