Heavy losses reported among Russian mercenaries in east Ukraine

[link:https://www.cnbc.com/2022/12/12/russia-ukraine-live-updates.html|

Significant parts of Ukraine continue to struggle with power shortages over the weekend after more Russian attacks on energy infrastructure. A drone strike on Odesa left 1.5 million people without power.

Fighting in eastern and southern Ukraine remains intense. One Ukrainian official claimed over the weekend that Russian mercenaries belonging to the shady “Wagner Group,” a Russian state-sanctioned private military group fighting in Ukraine, suffered heavy losses after the hotel they were using as their headquarters was hit by Ukrainian forces.
