Russia unleashes missile, drone attacks across Ukraine.​



Russia unleashes a further wave of missile and drone strikes across a number of regions in Ukraine Monday with at least four civilians killed in the latest attacks.


Ukraine said its air defences had destroyed 18 out of 51 missiles, a much lower shoot-down rate than normal which Kyiv attributed to the large number of ballistic missiles fired by Russia.


They are more difficult to intercept, air force spokesman Yuriy Ihnat said on Ukrainian television. All eight drones launched by Russia were also shot down.

Ukraine Lost Over 215,000 Troops in 2023 - Shoigu

MOSCOW - The Russian military is continuing its operations to reduce the combat effectiveness of Ukraine's military, and maintains the strategic initiative in the special military operation zone, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu has announced.
"Groupings of Russian troops are methodically reducing the combat potential of the Ukrainian armed forces. Over the past year, enemy losses exceeded 215,000 servicepeople and 28,000 weapons systems. We maintain the strategic initiative along the entire line of combat contact," Shoigu said at a working meeting with military leaders on Tuesday.
 
Ukraine has lost 500,000 troops – ex prosecutor general

Kiev must come clean on the true scale of the losses, Yury Lutsenko insists
Ukraine has lost 500,000 troops – ex prosecutor general

Ukraine’s leaders should frankly admit that they have lost 500,000 service members since the start of the conflict with Russia, and that the monthly casualty rate is at around 30,000, former prosecutor general Yury Lutsenko has said.

President Vladimir Zelensky's goverment could convince reluctant citizens to join the fight by publicly admitting the heavy losses on the battlefield and declaring that the country’s very existence is in jeopardy, he believes.

Ukrainians “must know how many have died, and then all debates about the mobilization will be settled,” he added.

Speaking to the country's media on Wednesday, the former official proposed a number of steps to address the draft-dodging and corruption that is hampering the country’s conscription efforts.

He suggested that new legislation must be introduced by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, the country’s defense minister, and top army general to emphasize the seriousness of the situation.

“They should say how many Ukrainians have died. I know that this news will be received badly. But there is no other way to bring out of the comfort zone millions of those who hide behind bogus stories that everyone can serve except me,” Lutsenko said.

According to Lutsenko, this “shock” would lead to large queues at recruitment offices, as had occurred in February 2022. Another important measure, according to the former official, would be the campaign to send members of the Ukrainian elite to the frontline.
 
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s mysterious absence, explained

Why it’s a big deal that the president didn’t know his defense secretary was in the hospital for three days.

By Joshua Keating Jan 9, 2024

Even the most powerful people in the world are still humans with bodies and families. They sometimes need to take time off, whether for medical reasons, personal matters, or just to recharge. But the people who rely on them still need to know where they are.

That’s the issue at hand with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s days-long disappearance last week. The secretary was hospitalized and placed in intensive care on January 1, but the public wasn’t informed until three days later — and, even more surprisingly, neither was Austin’s ultimate boss, President Joe Biden.

That’s a shockingly long time given Austin’s job as head of the $800 billion Defense Department, one whose command of the US military is second only to the president and who is sixth in line for presidential succession
