Russia has lost 784,200 troops in Ukraine since the beginning of its full-scale invasion on Feb. 24, 2022, the General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces reported on Dec. 28.
This number includes 1,690 casualties Russian forces suffered just over the past day.
According to the report, Russia has also lost 9,651 tanks, 19,970 armored fighting vehicles, 32,328 vehicles and fuel tanks, 21,408 artillery systems, 1,256 multiple launch rocket systems, 1032 air defense systems, 369 airplanes, 329 helicopters, 21,013 drones, 28 ships and boats, and one submarine.
The study, based on testimonies of 200 children brought back from occupied territories and Russia, describes Moscow's campaign as the largest, most organized assault on child rights in Europe since the Yugoslav wars.
"We will also discuss increasing pressure on Russia, sanctions, and the importance of lasting peace," Ukraine's Presidential Office Chief of Staff Andriy Yermak said.
Keith Kellogg, U.S. President Donald Trump's special envoy for Ukraine, has arrived in Kyiv on an official visit, multiple Ukrainian news outlets reported on Sept. 11.
"A large number of Russian drones entered Polish airspace — this is an empirical fact that does not require belief," Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Heorhii Tykhyi said.
"Priorities include Russia’s banking sector, banks in third countries that continue trading with Russia, and the 'shadow fleet' infrastructure that funds Russia’s war budget," President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
"Last night, Poland's airspace was breached 19 times by drones manufactured in Russia. The assessment of Polish and NATO air forces is that they did not veer off course, but were deliberately targeted," Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said in a video statement.
"We are dealing with a direct technological race in which the advantage will go to those who not only modernize but also stay ahead," Ukraine's Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said.
