Hackers expose casualty records as trilateral talks wrap up in Abu Dhabi

Leaked data allegedly obtained from Russia’s federal statistics agency, Rosstat, by Ukrainian and Belarusian hacker groups indicates that Russian military fatalities in Ukraine have reached 412,576.

The breach surfaced as two days of trilateral negotiations concluded in Abu Dhabi, where U.S. mediators Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff worked to establish a new security framework alongside Russian and Ukrainian officials. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that Moscow will not accept European demands for an immediate truce in Ukraine.

Following the talks, U.S. envoys are traveling to Moscow to brief Russian President Vladimir Putin before heading to Dublin to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Concurrently, Italy reaffirmed its policy to supply Kyiv exclusively with defensive military material and energy generators, excluding Samp/T air-defense missiles.
