Good evening.

Today Ukraine's President Zelensky said that nearly 27,000 Russian soldiers have been

killed so far in their invasion of Ukraine.

And we can't independently verify those numbers, and he gave no number of Ukrainian troop

fatalities.

But if in fact he is correct, and 27,000 Russian troops have been killed, that's a stunning

number.

In all the years, Soviet troops fought in Afghanistan.

They lost an estimated 15,000 soldiers.

In the same address, which Zelensky gives nightly, he said another six settlements had

been retaken from the Russians in the past 24 hours.

Overall, he said 105 had been in his words deoccupied since the war began.

And as we'll discuss in a moment with our new-pidden wall, in Harkiv, the Ukrainians have successfully

pushed Russian forces back from around that city.

Ukrainians also say there's a lot of fighting going on between two other cities you see

on the map.

There is the Monsloviansk, and that the Russians have not been able to make much progress.

What they have been able to do, as you can see here, is blow up bridges.

This is actually one of three they've recently blown up.

Also they can halt what appears to be a counter-offensive by the Ukrainians.

Today also saw Russia plans to cut electricity to Finland.

They say it's because of a lack of payment.
