First, welcome home to the Ukrainian military personnel who were exchanged in the latest Ukraine-Russia prisoner swap. There were four exchanges this week.
In this edition of The Big Five, I examine the latests developments in Russia’s war against Ukraine, provide updates on the Israel-Iran conflict and explore developments in the Pacific theatre.
As always, I conclude with my top five war and national security reads from the week.
Ukraine
While many will be exclusively focused on the Middle East this weekend, I encourage my readers to not take their eyes off the war in Ukraine. The Ukrainians continue to defend against Russian ground and aerial onslaughts. They require not only weapons from the west to continue their defence, but our attention and moral support as well.
Russian Casualties Hit One Million. This week, Russian casualties in Ukraine hit the one million mark. It comes as Russia continues to press forward with its summer offensives in the north east, east and south of Ukraine. The UK Ministry of Defence this week provided an update on Russian casualties, which was followed by another post on Russia hitting the one million casualties mark.
