27 lives per kilometre: How Russia took record losses in Ukraine in 2024

Russian conscripts train

Last year was the deadliest for Russian forces since the start of the full-scale war in Ukraine: at least 45,287 people were killed.

This is almost three times more than in the first year of the invasion and significantly exceeds the losses of 2023, when the longest and deadliest battle of the war was taking place in Bakhmut.

At the start of the war, losses happened in waves during battles for key locations, but 2024 saw a month-on-month increase in the death toll as the front line slowly edged forward, enabling us to establish that Russia lost at least 27 lives for every kilometre of Ukrainian territory captured.

The BBC Russian Service, in collaboration with independent media outlet Mediazona and a team of volunteers, has processed open source data from Russian cemeteries, military memorials and obituaries.

So far, we have identified the names of 106,745 Russian soldiers killed during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Trump Won't Rule Out Using Force To Take Greenland

Trump on Meet the Press 5/4/25President Donald Trump implied he might try to take Greenland by force while discussing his repeated calls for the U.S. to acquire the territory, which have sparked widespread concern and criticism from the island itself.

In an interview broadcast Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” anchor Kristen Welker asked whether Trump could definitively say the U.S. won’t use force against the territory.

“I don’t rule it out. I don’t say I’m going to do it, but I don’t rule out anything. No, not there,” Trump said. “We need Greenland very badly. Greenland is a very small amount of people, which we’ll take care of, and we’ll cherish them, and all of that. But we need that for international security.”

Also in the interview, Welker asked Trump if he would “rule out” the once-inconceivable prospect of using military force against Canada amid the politician’s ongoing comments about annexing the neighboring country as the 51st state.

Houthi missile strikes near main Israel airport

 Houthi missile near Ben Gurion airport

A missile launched by the Houthi rebels in Yemen struck near the main terminal of Israel’s airport close to Tel Aviv, reports detailed Sunday morning.

The strike, which was not intercepted by the Israeli military, temporarily paused flights, but there were no immediate reports of fatalities, The New York Times reported.

The Israel Defense Force (IDF) shared online that sirens sounded across the region “due to a projectile launch from Yemen.” The IDF is investigating the failure to intercept the strike.

The military said several attempts were made to intercept the Houthis’ missile, but the missile struck near the Ben-Gurion International Airport, the Times reported.

Israeli media reported that there were eight injured in the missile strike.

'Sovereignty is not for sale': Mexican president says she rejected Trump offer to send troops

Mexico president

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on May 3 that President Donald Trump had proposed sending American troops to Mexico to combat drug trafficking, but said she had rejected that offer because "sovereignty is not for sale."

Sheinbaum's comments were in response to questions about a Wall Street Journal report published on May 2 that said Trump was pressuring Mexico to allow deeper U.S. military involvement against drug cartels to combat trafficking across the shared border.

Poised to Expand Gaza Offensive, Israel Calls Up Thousands of Reserve Soldiers

iDF in Gaza

Israel will mobilize thousands of reserve soldiers to bolster its campaign against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the military announced on Saturday night, as the country appeared poised to expand its offensive in the Palestinian enclave.

The call-up suggested the Israeli government was preparing to shift tactics in an attempt to force Hamas to agree to its terms for an end to the war. It is unclear whether that would prove successful, as Hamas has fought a determined insurgency through more than a year of Israeli operations in Gaza.

Israel’s security cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was set to meet on Sunday to formally sign off on broadening the campaign in Gaza, said an Israeli official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

Two Russian Su-30 Flankers Downed By AIM-9s Fired From Drone Boats

SU-FlankerUkraine’s Defense Intelligence Directorate (GUR) shot down two Su-30 Flanker multirole fighters with AIM-9 Sidewinder infrared-guided air-to-air missiles fired by Magura-7 drone boats, the head of the agency told The War Zone exclusively. This marks the first time fighter airecraft have been downed by drone boats and the first use of the AIM-9 from a drone boat for a kill.

“It’s a historical moment,” Lt. Gen. Kyrylo Budanov told us. The War Zone cannot independently verify this claim.

The incident took place in the Black Sea on Friday, said Budanov, who offered new details about what happened. Previous reporting from GUR, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry and Russian Telegram channels stated that one Flanker was shot down by an adapted infrared-guided R-73 (AA-11 Archer) short-range air-to-air missile.

Video emerged on social media showing the first Flanker downing. Budanov said there were no videos or images of the second engagement.

'My sacrifice': Canadians boycott US products as Trump feeds 'Buy Canada' surge

Canadians give up American productsAt the Madison Avenue Pub, American liquor is no longer for sale.

The popular neighborhood Toronto bar, inside a brick Victorian building blocks from the University of Toronto’s campus, is replete with billiards tables and a full rack of liquor. A sign outside advertises Tuesday night trivia and another inside reads, “A good selection of beers from around the globe.”

Almost.

Since President Donald Trump set Canada in his sights, one country is conspicuously off the menu.

Trump’s branding of Canada as the “51st state” and the wide-reaching tariffs he has threatened to impose have pushed infuriated Canadians to boycott American products and inspired a “Buy Canada” movement that could take a toll on the U.S. economy.

On April 28, Canadian voters elected Mark Carney as prime minister in a race defined by anger at Trump. Carney's Liberal Party rode the unprecedented surge of Canadian patriotism to close a 24-point gap behind the Conservative Party − and its Elon Musk-endorsed leader − to win a plurality in Parliament.
