Ukraine claims that over 1,000 Russian soldiers have died in the conflict, while Russia admitted to losing 1,090 soldiers in its deadliest day of war. The first lady of Ukraine is pleading for more weapons to support the country’s military efforts.

According to a live briefing by the president of Ukraine, Zelensky, Russian troops are suffering heavy losses in Bakhmut. The internal Russian rift over the war in Ukraine is also widening and contributing to the conflict.
