Rumours of there being an F-16 strike or something today - perhaps they are now in service?

"The [Russian] expert is seen showing labels on the back of the [ATACMS] missile's GPS guidance system, which indicate it originated in a U.S. army store in Alabama."
So RIA is trying to pass off an agent purchased army surplus GPS computer from a decommissioned ATACMS as captured from a shot down and yet miraculously undamaged missile to their public.....

I guess its the Ukrainians turn now?
More than 3,000 prisoners in Ukraine released on parole to boost military numbers.
Ukraine is turning to its prisoner population to help address battlefield shortages as Russian continues to build up forces in eastern Ukraine. More than 3,000 prisoners have been released on parole and assigned to military units after such recruitment was approved by parliament in a controversial mobilisation bill last month, Ukrainian deputy justice minister Olena Vysotska told the Associated Press. The news agency visited a rural penal colony in south-east Ukraine where several convicts were offered a chance at parole in return for battlefield service. “You can put an end to this and start a new life,” one recruiter, a member of a volunteer assault battalion, told them. Ukraine does not announce details of troop deployment numbers or casualties, but frontline commanders openly acknowledge that they are facing serious personnel shortages.

The numbers aren't very large. I'm going to make an assumption that these 3,000 won't be leaving Ukraine for any sort of specialist training in Poland/Germany/UK due to the fact that they are criminals. The lot of them will be trained 'in-house' in Ukraine by Ukrainians.

It did say Assault Battalions…
Now the AFU isn’t spendthrift on lives like Russia, but I don’t think it’s going to be an easy job.

Meanwhile, equity on the front lines...
In April, Andriy Yusov, a spokesperson for Ukraine’s military intelligence service (HUR), told the Kyiv Post that the Kremlin is willingly recruiting female prisoners of all specialties: “We are talking about auxiliary units, but combat units as well, if needed,” Yusov said.
Women prisoners are promised money and the opportunity to return home. In turn, the convicted women agree to such conditions, because they are convinced by propaganda that they will return home alive. However, these are just dreams.
“Most of the women prisoners recruited by the Russian Federation died or returned home with severe injuries,” said Yusov.
