据英国新上任的通信与网络间谍机构负责人安妮·基斯特-巴特勒透露,最新情报显示,自弗拉基米尔·普京2022年发动全面入侵乌克兰的战争以来,已有近50万俄罗斯军人阵亡。

“我们依然坚定支持乌克兰,普京在战场上节节败退,最新情报显示冲突爆发以来已有近50万俄军士兵阵亡,”基斯特-巴特勒于周四表示。基斯特-巴特勒是英国政府通信总部的负责人,该机构是英国三大主要情报机构之一。

这一来自英国政府通信总部的数据,是自2022年2月俄乌战争爆发以来,任何一国政府公开公布的俄军死亡人数最高估算值。俄罗斯和乌克兰双方均未公布本国的战争伤亡数据。

“这一50万的估算数字比英国国防情报部门此前公布的估算值更高,”皇家联合军种防务与安全研究所前理事长迈克尔·克拉克说道。该研究所是一家专注安全与防务的智库,克拉克一直在追踪战争的战术进展。“但鉴于其消息来源,这一数字现在应被视为官方估算。”

他补充称,俄军阵亡人数“可能更高”,因为“俄军对前线伤员的救治极其疏忽”。他指出,“其中有很高比例的士兵并非俄罗斯籍,几乎所有非俄罗斯籍士兵都被派往前线”,并表示这可能是“与正常情况相比,伤员存活率更低的另一个原因”。

这一令人震惊的数字公布之际,俄罗斯刚刚发出新的警告,要求包括外交官在内的所有外国公民撤离基辅,原因是计划对乌克兰首都的军工目标发动扩大打击。俄罗斯外交部于周一发出袭击预警,称此次行动是对上周乌克兰在俄占卢甘斯克地区发动无人机袭击的报复。

美国驻基辅大使馆仍正常开放

周四早些时候,欧盟外交与安全政策高级代表卡娅·卡拉斯误称美国驻基辅大使馆已经关闭。卡拉斯当时正在塞浦路斯,在回答记者有关俄罗斯发出的撤离警告的提问时发表了上述言论。

“他们现在的所作所为完全就是在增加恐怖袭击,因为实在没有别的词可以形容,这是在制造社会恐慌。这种手段四年里都没奏效过,我认为现在也不会成功,”作为欧盟外交与安全政策高级代表的卡拉斯说道。“另外,我们昨天从乌克兰方面得知,除了一个大使馆之外,所有大使馆都留在了基辅,这也体现了这些使馆的勇气。不过没错,所有欧洲国家的使馆都留下了,美国除外。”

美国驻基辅大使馆很快纠正了卡拉斯的说法,在社交媒体上发文称使馆仍在正常运作,“我们的运营没有任何变化”。

“其他相关报道均为虚假信息,”美国驻基辅使馆在X平台上写道。“国务院将保障美国公民的安全与安保置于最高优先级,并会定期评估基辅大使馆的安全态势。我们再次重申,鉴于武装冲突,美国公民不应以任何理由前往乌克兰。”

该使馆还附上了一张照片,照片中是来自康涅狄格州的民主党参议员理查德·布卢门撒尔和众议员吉姆·海恩斯,以及美国驻乌克兰大使朱莉·S·戴维斯。

这两名国会议员还会见了乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基。泽连斯基于周三深夜在社交媒体上发布了此次会面的照片,并再次呼吁获得更多支持,以应对俄罗斯的弹道导弹威胁。

“由于俄罗斯持续不断的袭击,我们对反导导弹有着迫切需求。我已致函白宫和美国国会,列明乌克兰对这类导弹的需求。今天我还亲自将这封信交给了国会议员们。我们指望能获得及时的支援,”他写道。

俄乌双方互击,战争“性质”发生转变

俄罗斯于周日对基辅及其周边地区发动了大规模轰炸。此次袭击动用了近百枚导弹——其中包括一枚“奥列什尼克”高超音速弹道导弹——以及600架无人机。

周一发布的要求外交官和其他外国公民撤离基辅的通知警告称,将针对基辅的“决策中心和指挥哨所”发动“系统性、持续性的打击”。

周四夜间,乌克兰军方袭击了位于黑海南部港口图阿普谢的一座大型俄罗斯炼油厂,该炼油厂此前曾多次成为袭击目标。基辅方面称,该炼油厂每年加工约1200万吨石油,其中包括用于俄军动员的燃料。

与此同时,乌克兰空军表示,俄罗斯军队在乌克兰部分地区发动了空袭,包括一枚“匕首”弹道导弹和近150架无人机,并补充称防空系统拦截了138架无人机。过去一天,乌克兰至少有两人丧生,其中包括一名在敖德萨东部赫尔松的居民区遭俄罗斯空袭后死亡的父亲。

分析人士称,乌克兰似乎正在重新夺回战场主动权。在5月25日的一份报告中,美国智库战争研究所指出,“战争的性质正在向有利于乌克兰军队的方向转变,至少目前是这样。”

New intelligence shows that nearly 500,000 Russian soldiers have been killed since Vladimir Putin launched his country’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, according to Anne Keast-Butler, the new head of the United Kingdom’s communications and cyber spy agency.

“As we remain steadfast in our support for Ukraine, Putin is going backwards on the battlefield, with new intelligence showing that almost half a million Russian soldiers have been killed since the conflict began,” Keast-Butler said Thursday. Keast-Butler is the director of the Government Communications Headquarters, one of Britain’s three main intelligence agencies.

The GCHQ figure is the highest on-the-record estimate of Russian military deaths to come from any government since the war in Ukraine began in February 2022. Neither Russia nor Ukraine have released their own data on war casualties.

“The 500,000 estimate is a higher figure than the UK’s Defence Intelligence estimate has previously quoted,” said Michael Clarke, former Director-General of the Royal United Services Institute, a security and defense-focused think tank. Clarke has been tracking the tactical progression of the war. “But this should now be regarded as an official estimate given its source.”

He added that the number of Russian dead “might well be higher” because “they are so neglectful of their front line wounded.” He noted that “a high proportion of them are non-Russian and almost all the non-Russians are sent to the frontline” and said this might be “another reason why fewer than normal survive being wounded.”

The dire figure came on the heels of a new warning from Russia telling all foreign nationals – including, specifically, diplomats – to evacuate from Kyiv ahead of planned expanded strikes on military industrial targets in the Ukrainian capital. Russia warned of the imminent attacks Monday, with the country’s foreign ministry calling them planned retaliation for a Ukrainian drone attack in the Russian-occupied Luhansk region last week.

U.S. embassy in Kyiv remains open

Early Thursday, European Union top foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas incorrectly said that the U.S. embassy in Kyiv has closed. Kallas was in Cyprus and responding to a reporter’s question about the warning from Russia when she made the statement.

“So what they are doing now is really increasing the terrorist attacks, because you can’t really describe it in other ways, creating fear inside the society. It hasn’t worked for four years, but I don’t think that it’s going to work now,” said Kallas, who is the EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. “Also, what we heard from Ukraine yesterday was that all the embassies stayed except one, so that also takes courage from those embassies. But yes, all the Europeans stayed, America left.”

The U.S. embassy in Kyiv quickly corrected Kallas, writing on social media that the facility is open and that “there are no changes to our operations.”

“Reports otherwise are false,” the U.S. embassy wrote on X. “The State Department has no higher priority than the safety and security of Americans and regularly reviews the security posture of Embassy Kyiv. We reiterate our message that Americans should not travel to Ukraine for any reason due to the armed conflict.”

The embassy also attached a photo of Senator Richard Blumenthal and Representative Jim Hines, both Democrats from Connecticut, with the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Julie S. Davis.

The congressmen also met with Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Zelenskyy posted an image from the meeting on social media late Wednesday night, and reiterated his request for more support against Russia’s ballistic missile threat.

“We have a significant need for antiballistic missiles due to the constant Russian attacks. I sent a letter to the White House and the U.S. Congress outlining Ukraine’s needs for such missiles. And today, I also personally handed this letter to the congressmen. We are counting on timely support,” he wrote.

Ukraine, Russia trade blows as “character of the war” shifts

Russia carried out a massive bombardment of Kyiv and its surrounding regions on Sunday. The attack involved nearly 100 missiles – including an Oreshnik hypersonic ballistic missile – and 600 drones.

The Monday notice telling diplomats and other foreign nationals to leave Kyiv warned that “systemic and sustained strikes” would target “decision-making centers and command posts” in the city.

Overnight Thursday, Ukraine’s military hit a massive Russian oil refinery in the southern Black Sea port of Tuapse, which has been targeted several times in the past. Kyiv claimed that the refinery processes about 12 million tons of oil each year, including fuel to mobilize Russia’s military.

Meanwhile, Russia’s military launched aerial attacks across portions of Ukraine, said Ukraine’s Air Force, including a Kinzhal ballistic missile and nearly 150 drones, adding that air defenses intercepted 138 drones. At least two people have been killed in Ukraine in the past day, including a father who died after a Russian strike on a residential neighborhood in Kherson, east of Odessa.

Analysts say that Ukraine appears to be regaining momentum on the battlefield. In a May 25 report, the U.S.-based Institute for the Study of War think tank “the character of the war is shifting in favor of Ukrainian forces, at least for now.”
