Russia to punish soldiers using personal phones on the frontline in Ukraine

Russia's military has now sustained an estimated 550,000 casualties since its invasion of Ukraine, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, the UK chief of the defense staff said. "Our assessments are that it will take Putin five years to reconstitute the Russian army to where it was in February 2022," he told the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) land warfare conference. He added it will take another five years "rectify the weaknesses that the war has revealed”, and get Moscow's army back to its February 2022 strength.
