The intelligence updates indicate significant losses for Russia’s elite airborne forces in Ukraine, with at least 50% of the 30,000 troops deployed estimated killed or wounded. Ukraine conducted strikes on two key bridges in occupied Kherson, forcing Russia to reroute traffic, as part of an interdiction campaign ahead of a counteroffensive. Russia conducted one of its largest missile and drone attacks across Ukraine overnight. Talks aimed at peace principles continued in Saudi Arabia. Russia’s spokesperson gave unclear remarks about seeking more territory beyond the four annexed regions. Ukrainian counteroffensive operations continued in some areas while Russia made advances in others. Russia finally allowed rotations for battered volunteer forces in Donetsk. Russia is linking Ukrainian governance to its structures in occupied areas.
