Russian Military Suffers 2,240 Losses in 5 Days Despite Missile AttacksUkraine eliminated more than 2,200 Russian soldiers over a five day period this week, according to one estimate, even though the war-torn country has been recovering from Russian President Vladimir Putin's latest missile barrages.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said during his nightly televised address on Monday that Ukraine was able to destroy most of the approximately 70 missiles that Russia launched.Specifically, he has railed against the country over an explosion in October that damaged the Kerch Strait Bridge, which connects Russia to the occupied Crimean peninsula and is also a key supply route for the Russian president's troops.Putin blamed Ukraine for the explosion and vowed to respond, though Ukraine has not claimed responsibility for it.In a phone conversation with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz last week, Putin said that Russia had refrained from launching missile strikes on certain Ukrainian targets for a period of time in the war, "but now such measures have become an unavoidable and inevitable response" to Kyiv's alleged provocation."
