The Russian army updates its losses in Ukraine to 1,351 soldiers, while saying that it had evacuated more than 400,000 civilians and condemning Western supplies of weapons to Kyiv.
At a Moscow briefing, senior military officials gave the first update on Russian deaths in weeks and says 419,736 civilians had been evacuated from Ukraine.
A senior representative of the General Staff, Sergei Rudskoi, says: “We consider a huge mistake the supplies of arms to Kyiv by Western countries. That prolongs the operation.”
There have also been reports of a Russian pastor who was killed by a Ukrainian missile fire that struck a Russian village near the Ukrainian border. This would be the first casualty on Russian soil since the start of Russia’s invasion a month ago.
