Almost 500,000 Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine war, GCHQ says

GCHQ's director Anne Keast-Butler will warn in a public speech on Wednesday that Russia is "relentlessly targeting" UK critical infrastructure, democratic processes, and supply chains as part of an undeclared hybrid war against the UK and NATO allies. She will outline how GCHQ is working to counter Russian cyber attacks, sabotage, and assassination attempts, while noting that Putin is losing ground in Ukraine despite ongoing Russian aggression. Russia has denied allegations but has been blamed for previous incidents including the 2006 poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko and the 2018 nerve agent attack on Sergei Skripal.
