Russian President Vladimir Putin has told grieving mothers of slain and missing Russian soldiers in Ukraine that “death is inevitable.”

In a meeting with the mothers, Putin compared the country's losses during the invasion of Ukraine with the number of people dying in road accidents and from alcohol-related reasons, eliciting contempt from critics.

Meanwhile, the UK Defense Ministry said Russian conscripts face heavy casualties in Ukraine because of frontal assaults near Bakhmut, Donetsk Oblast, and digging trench systems under artillery fire near Svatove, Luhansk Oblast.

Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy system have killed 77 civilians since Oct. 10 while 272 people have been injured, the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine reported. Since Feb. 24, 2022, the total number of Ukrainian civilians has already reached 7,000.

Ukraine’s military has killed Iranian instructors training Russian forces to operate kamikaze drones in occupied Crimea, National Security and Defense Council Secretary Oleksii Danilov told UK’s The Guardian. Danilov warned that further Iranian military presence in Ukrainian territory would also be targeted. “They were on our territory,” he said.

“We didn’t invite them here, and if they collaborate with terrorists and participate in the destruction of our nation, we must kill them.”
