Summary of the day so far …

  • Russia’s military has suffered 100,000 casualties in the past five months in fighting against Ukraine, mostly in the Bakhmut region, the White House has estimated. National security spokesperson John Kirby told reporters the figure, based on US intelligence estimates, included more than 20,000 dead.
  • Kirby did not detail how the US calculated Russia’s losses, but said about half of those who died were fighting under the Wagner mercenary group, rather than with the Russian military. They were being sent into battle without proper training or leadership, he added.
  • All parties in the Black Sea grain initiative will meet for talks on Wednesday, according to a senior Ukrainian source. Additionally top UN trade official Rebeca Grynspan is expected to travel to Moscow this week
  • Suspilne, Ukraine’s state broadcaster, reports that overnight three apartment buildings and a school were damaged in Kramatorsk after a strike by Russian S-300 missiles which caused one injury.
  • Oleh Synyehubov, governor of Kharkiv, has reported that a woman has been injured in the shelling of the village of Petropavlivka, which is close to Ukraine’s border with Russia.
  • Ukrainian forces shelled a village in the Russian Bryansk region bordering Ukraine early on Tuesday, the local governor said in a social media post, a day after an explosion derailed a freight train in the region.
