Cyberattack leaks reportedly show 400,000 Russian casualties as Kyiv prepares for Abu Dhabi coordination talks.

Leaked data from Russia's statistics agency reportedly indicates that 400,000 Russian soldiers have died in Ukraine, according to reporting on hacked records. The revelation comes as diplomatic delegations prepare for US-mediated talks in Abu Dhabi. Ukrainian chief negotiator Rustem Umerov confirmed that Kyiv will hold coordination meetings with E4 nations, NATO, and European Commission representatives, although the Kremlin stated discussions would remain strictly trilateral.

On the battlefield, local officials reported one death following Russian strikes on infrastructure in Odesa. In Moscow, presidential adviser Elena Yampolskaya sparked public pushback after advocating a ban on pizza in school canteens, citing health concerns and framing Italy as an "unfriendly" nation.
