Ukraine’s armed forces have declared that Russia’s much-publicized summer offensive failed to secure full control of any major Ukrainian city, despite Moscow’s claims of significant territorial gains. Russian Chief of General Staff Valery Gerasimov stated that since March, Russian forces had captured over 3,500 square kilometers of territory and taken control of 149 settlements.

Former Executives at London Hospital Face $60M Fraud Allegations


A major scandal has rocked the London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) in Ontario, where a forensic audit uncovered an alleged decade-long fraud scheme involving senior executives and contractors. The hospital has filed two civil lawsuits totaling $60 million, accusing eight former staff members and several companies of misappropriating public funds through inflated contracts and falsified documents.

The primary lawsuit targets former Vice President of Facilities Dipesh Patel, along with other staff and contractors, alleging they awarded contracts to companies with personal ties and billed for work that was never completed. The hospital claims this scheme led to the purchase of over **95 properties**, many acquired using funds from the alleged fraud.

A second lawsuit accuses former CEO Jackie Schleifer Taylor, CFO Abhi Mukherjee, and executive Brad Campbell of failing to act when informed of the misconduct in 2022. Instead of launching an investigation or notifying auditors, they allegedly allowed implicated individuals to lead internal reviews that ignored the fraud.

London Police are currently investigating, and none of the allegations have been proven in court. LHSC has since implemented a whistleblower policy and terminated all staff involved in the alleged misconduct.
