Russia’s defense ministry on Monday said at least 63 Russian soldiers were killed in a Ukrainian strike on a facility in the eastern Donetsk region, the Associated Press reports. The missiles were launched from an American-supplied HIMARS missile platform, according to the Kremlin, so how’s that for an “audit” of the money Uncle Sam is spending on weapons for Ukraine’s military?
Meanwhile, in Kyiv, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said as many as 40 drones targeting the capital’s energy infrastructure were intercepted overnight but still managed to inflict some damage, resulting in power outages. Another “critical infrastructure object” in the Kyiv region was struck directly, as well as some residential buildings in the barrage, according to the local governor.
