A senior British defense official stated on Friday that more than 500,000 Russian troops have been killed in Ukraine since the beginning of Moscow's full-scale invasion in February 2022. According to the UK defense chief, these fatalities form part of a total of 1.5 million Russian casualties sustained during the conflict.

Simultaneously, frontline fighting remains largely stalled, with Russia increasingly targeting civilian infrastructure such as petrol stations. A recent Russian strike on a gas station in Kyiv resulted in two deaths. Meanwhile, Ukrainian drone attacks inside Russia killed three people on Friday.
