       Troop casualties in Ukraine near 1.4 million, a study found Nearly 1 million Russian troops have been killed or wounded in the war in Ukraine, according to a study released yesterday. Roughly 400,000 Ukrainian troops were also estimated to have been killed or wounded, bringing the total casualties of the three-year conflict to a staggering 1.4 million.

       The Center for Strategic and International Studies, a U.S.-based think tank that compiled the study, cautioned that casualty figures were difficult to estimate. But the tally still presents an accounting of the grinding conflict. Russia’s territorial gains have been slower than even the bogged-down and costly Somme advance of British and French troops in World War I, the study said. Since January 2024, Russia has seized less than 1 percent of Ukrainian territory.

       On the battlefield: Kyiv said its troops struck the Crimean bridge yesterday for the third time. Over the weekend, remotely operated Ukrainian drones emerged from hiding inside Russia and began attacking airfields. These videos show what happened.

Under the terms of the proposal, Iran would continue to enrich uranium at low levels, suitable for nuclear power plants but not for bombs, while the U.S. and other countries work out a more detailed plan to eventually block Iran’s path to a nuclear weapon.
