Russia’s military has launched strikes on Ukraine’s capital region for the first time in weeks. A Ukrainian military official said six Russian cruise missiles struck a military base north of Kyiv overnight. Elsewhere, there were competing claims over whether Russia had seized a massive coal-fired power plant in Ukraine’s east.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration has revealed its estimate of the number of casualties Russia’s military has suffered since it invaded Ukraine in February, saying 75,000 Russian troops have been killed or injured in the violence.
