After weeks of a Kremlin-ordered blackout on news about Russia’s combat losses in Ukraine, new images are emerging of Russian troops burying a soldier killed in action in Ukraine.

In the photo above and the one below, soldiers carry the coffin of 20-year-old Russian serviceman Nikita Avrov during his funeral on Monday. Avrov was killed in Ukraine on March 27, according to Getty Images and Agence France-Presse, which released the four photos in this story.

On Friday, Ukrainian officials said that 18,600 Russian troops have been killed during the Kremlin’s six-week long invasion.

NATO’s most recent estimate is that Russia has lost between 7,000 and 15,000 soldiers in battle. But that figure is now almost three weeks old.

A spokesman for Russia’s Ministry of Defense said on March 26 that 1,351 troops had died so far in the botched assault on Ukraine. Moscow has so far failed to capture Kyiv or any major northern cities.

UN finds at least 148 children killed and 233 injured in Ukraine

Russia’s attacks on Ukraine have left at least 148 children dead and 233 injured since late February, according to the United Nations.

Those figures are nearly double what the UN human rights office, or OHCHR, reported less than three weeks earlier. The true child casualty tolls are “likely much higher” than the figures verified by the UN, UNICEF director of emergencies Manuel Fontaine added during a UN Security Council meeting.

Many of the reported deaths and injuries among children were “caused by crossfire, or the use of explosive weapons in populated areas,” Fontaine said.

The threat to children in Ukraine extends far beyond death and injury, Fontaine noted. Nearly half of the estimated 3.2 million kids who remained in their homes during the Russian invasion “may be at risk of not having enough food,” he said.

“A whole generation of children have already seen their lives and educations abandoned during the past eight years of conflict,” he said.

Austrian leader meets with Putin on Moscow trip

Austria’s Chancellor Karl Nehammer held “direct, open and tough” talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Monday, in a visit that drew mixed European reactions including surprise, skepticism and condemnation.

Nehammer is the first European Union leader to meet Putin since he ordered his troops to invade Ukraine on Feb. 24.

While Austria generally maintains closer ties to Moscow than much of the European Union, that has not been the case recently.

Nehammer has expressed solidarity with Ukraine over the Russian invasion and denounced apparent Russian war crimes there, while his government has joined other EU countries in expelling Russian diplomats, albeit only a fraction of the large Russian diplomatic presence there.

In a statement after the meeting, Nehammer said the discussion with Putin was “very direct, open and tough”. He added that his most important message to Putin was that the war in Ukraine must end because “in a war there are only losers on both sides”.

A spokesman for Nehammer said on Monday afternoon that the meeting went ahead at Putin’s official Novo-Ogaryovo residence outside Moscow.

He accused Russia of targeting and destroying Ukraine’s infrastructure, including nearly 300 hospitals, and warned tens of thousands of Russian forces are being readied for the next offensive.

“There is no hope that Russian rational thinking will prevail and Russia will stop. Russia can only be forced to do this,” Zelenskyy said.

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock says there are “massive indications” of Russian war crimes in Ukraine, adding it is essential to secure all evidence, according to Reuters.

“We have massive indications of war crimes,” Baerbock said ahead of a meeting with European ministers in Luxembourg, Reuters reported. “In the end, the courts will have to decide, but for us, it is central to secure all evidence.”

“As the German federal government, we have already made it clear that there will be a complete phase-out of fossil fuels, starting with coal, then oil and gas, and so that this can be implemented jointly in the European Union, we need a joint, coordinated plan to completely phase out fossil fuels to be able to withdraw as a European Union,” Baerbock said.

The U.K. Defense Ministry says Russian shelling continues in Ukraine’s Donetsk and Luhansk regions, with Ukrainian forces seen “repulsing several assaults resulting in the destruction of Russian tanks, vehicles and artillery equipment.”

The ministry warned Russian forces that prior use of phosphorus munitions in the Donetsk Oblast “raises the possibility of their future employment in Mariupol as fighting for the city intensifies.”

It also said Russia’s “continued reliance on unguided bombs decreases their ability to discriminate when targeting and conducting strikes while greatly increasing the risk of further civilian casualties.”

War to slash Ukraine’s GDP output by over 45%, World Bank forecasts

Ukraine’s economic output will likely contract by a staggering 45.1% this year as Russia’s invasion has shuttered businesses, slashed exports and destroyed productive capacity, the World Bank said on Sunday in a new assessment of the war’s economic impacts.

The World Bank also forecast Russia’s 2022 GDP output to fall 11.2% due to punishing financial sanctions imposed by the United States and its Western allies on Russia’s banks, state-owned enterprises and other institutions.

The World Bank’s Eastern Europe region, comprising Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova, is forecast to show a GDP contraction of 30.7% this year, due to shocks from the war and disruption of trade.

For Ukraine, the World Bank report estimates that over half of the country’s businesses are closed, while others still open are operating at well under normal capacity. The closure of Black Sea shipping from Ukraine has cut off some 90% of the country’s grain exports and half of its total exports.
