Let's hope the war stops soon so the Ukrainian population is no longer subject to brutal and savage attacks as below.

Twelve miners have been killed by a Russian drone strike in eastern Ukraine, the country's largest private energy firm has said.

DTEK said a bus carrying workers after a shift in the Dnipropetrovsk region had been targeted in Sunday's attack. At least seven people were injured.

Earlier, at least two others were killed and nine injured in separate Russian attacks overnight and on Sunday.

The victims included six people hurt when a drone hit a maternity hospital in Zaporizhzhia. Two were women giving birth at the time of the strike.

BBC Verify confirmed the site was Maternity Hospital No.3 on Bocharova Street in the east of the city.

Killing children who had just been born. Inhuman.

A recent report by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, cited by CNN, paints a stark picture of the war in Ukraine, estimating that 1.2 million Russian troops have been killed since the invasion began four years ago — a level of losses unseen for a major military power since World War II.

Despite these losses, CSIS notes Russia has expanded its territorial control by only about 12% since 2022, underscoring the immense human and economic cost behind limited battlefield gains and intensifying debate over how the war’s balance is portrayed politically.

While Ukraine is estimated to have lost between 500,000 and 600,000 troops, Russia’s death toll is roughly double, with casualties now exceeding Moscow’s ability to recruit and replace forces, according to British diplomat James Ford.

Notice the comparatively limited number of civilian casualties compared to USA's previous adventures abroad. Russia is utilizing surgical strikes, whilst minimizing civilian casualties, whereas Israel is deliberately murdering innocent civilians to execute a policy of ethnic cleansing.
