Report says Russia has suffered over 1.2 million casualties in the Ukraine war

A new report states that Russia's military casualties in Ukraine have surpassed 1.2 million, a number that reportedly exceeds its losses in all conflicts since World War II. In related developments, Ukraine announced Russia had returned hundreds more bodies of dead soldiers, and aid groups warn that Russian attacks are putting Ukrainian children at risk of hypothermia.

Separate reports highlight that Russia is recruiting people from other countries, including Kenya and other parts of Africa, to fight in the war. In one recent attack, a Russian strike on a civilian train in Ukraine killed five people.
