According to a recent update from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), Ukrainian forces may be conducting a limited fighting withdrawal in eastern Bakhmut and are continuing to inflict high casualties against the advancing mixed Russian forces. Russian milbloggers have also lowered their expectations of Russian forces’ ability to launch additional offensives, which would likely culminate whether or not Russian forces actually capture Bakhmut. The likely imminent culmination of the Russian offensive around Bakhmut before or after its fall, the already culminated Russian offensive around Vuhledar, and the stalling Russian offensive in Luhansk Oblast are likely setting robust conditions for a future Ukrainian counteroffensive.The post Bakhmut: A Strategic Success?

Cooperation with law enforcement is a strategy that every corporation involved in a government investigation must consider. The benefits of cooperation are clear and include reduced penalties, swifter resolutions, and less burdensome investigations. Cooperation with the government has proven a cost-effective strategy for some organizations in recent years, with some companies facing lower or no fines. Conversely, failing to cooperate risks antagonizing the investigator which can cause problems for the corporation. However, in the nebulous middle ground, there are some cases in which a company must carefully consider the pros and cons of cooperation with the government.The post Cooperation Standards in Government Investigations: Practical Tips appeared first on ComplexDiscovery.
