Live updates and the latest news as Elon Musk's criticism of the House-passed Trump agenda bill shows GOP divisions and Russian war casualties near 1 million

By Guy Faulconbridge and Rami Ayyub MOSCOW/WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Russian President Vladimir Putin told U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday that he would have to respond to Ukrainian drone attacks on Russia's nuclear-capable bomber fleet,

"It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace," President Trump posted on social media.

Satellite photos analyzed by The Associated Press show seven destroyed bombers on the tarmac at a Russian air base in eastern Siberia.

New satellite images and drone footage show serious damage inflicted on aircraft at several Russian airbases during Ukraine's surprise drone strike on Sunday. The images of two Russian airbases in north-western and central Russia, taken on Wednesday morning, show 12 aircraft damaged or destroyed.

Nearly 1 million Russian soldiers have been killed or injured in the country’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, according to a new study, a grisly measure of the human cost of Russian President’s Vladimir Putin’s unprovoked three-year assault on its neighbor.
