Putin faces a staggering loss of 150,000 soldiers in Ukraine, raising concerns about the war’s toll on Russia’s military.
Ukraine’s top general, Oleksandr Syrskyi, shared these numbers today. He mentioned that total Russian military losses have now hit 434,000 since the war began. Can you believe that?
In 2024 alone, Russia lost more troops than in the previous two years combined. That’s a staggering amount. Syrskyi emphasized that this year has been particularly tough for them.
He also talked about plans to create a new air defense system. They want something as effective as the US Patriots to protect against Russian missiles. Sounds like they’re gearing up for more action.
Meanwhile, fighting continues on the ground. There were reports of a drone strike on a major aircraft plant in Kazan. This plant is known for making strategic bombers.
Explosions were heard, and the local airport had to shut down. It’s a chaotic situation, and the extent of the damage is still unclear.
On the flip side, Russia claimed to have shot down some US-made HIMARS missiles in the Bryansk region. The conflict is far from over, and it’s hard to see where it’s headed next.
