The news of Russian combat losses comes after Putin launched an attack on Ukraine’s capital Kyiv on Sunday, June 26.

Explosions were reported in the Shevchenkivskyi district of Kyiv at around 6.20 am as a result of Russian airstrikes and multiple civilian casualties were reported, including the death of the father of a young girl, whose rescue has gone viral on social media.

While the rest of us Europeans enjoyed a night out yesterday and had a good night’s sleep, Russia fired 14 missiles on Kyiv overnight, hitting residential buildings.

Here, rescue workers are pulling out a screaming 7-year-old girl from beneath the rubble.
