More than 200,000 Russian troops have been “liquidated” in the full-scale invasion of Ukraine launched by President Vladimir Putin nearly 15 months ago, according to figures released by Kyiv’s military.

Moscow lost 610 soldiers over the past 24 hours, according to the military’s Wednesday casualty toll of Russian troops—bringing the total to 200,590.
