While American officials have previously estimated Russian losses at about 200,000 soldiers, one of the reports indicated that there have been 189,500 to 223,000 casualties, including up to 43,000 killed in action.
ZURICH, April 8 (Reuters) - Austria's government is monitoring the global banking turmoil although there are so far no signs of it spreading to the country's financial sector, Finance Minister Magnus Brunner said in an interview published on Saturday.
He had initially vowed to stay put in Kyiv despite the constant blaring of air raid sirens and attacks on residential buildings, but decided to leave after hearing reports of Russian soldiers 'raping' Ukrainian women.
What they must not do is sit by idly and let it go away, as seemingly happened when this newspaper brought them the extraordinary claims in 2020 of a farmer who alleged he had been bribed into giving Tyson Fury a boar-based alibi for doping a few years earlier.
They were not the testing authority who twice found clomifene in Benn's system — that was the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association, which thereby introduced more loopholes for resourceful lawyers and a promoter in Hearn who famously sang VADA's praises when it suited him, but is now dancing in the grey areas of conflicting jurisdictions.
The Austrian lender is now the most important Western bank in Russia, offering a lifeline to people and businesses there seeking to make international payments, but it is under growing pressure from Western officials and investors to quit.
If we look at the sanctioning list on their website, it shows 39 athletes currently serving a ban. Of them, 12 play rugby league. They are guys like Rob Oakley, who played a few games for London Broncos in the second tier. And Russell Spiers, Midlands Hurricanes. Third tier.
The point here is about the price of fish and the effort it takes to catch one. A mackerel isn't so tough — you can pull in five at a time on a multi-hook line off most British beaches. But a shark? You have to go further afield.
If whispers are accurate, Eddie Hearn will confirm in the near future that the fight between Benn and Chris Eubank Jnr is on. Not with a British Boxing Board of Control licence in Benn's pocket, because they want a resolution to the inconvenient truth of Benn's two failed drugs tests, first revealed in the Daily Mail six months ago.
That might just about work with a retired fighter. And no doubt Khan can live with it, especially as my understanding is he has not been asked to pay back his purse, which is not the obligatory process it would be in sensible sports.
Russia flagship Moskva was blown up by Ukrainian missiles last April and Online Writing middle school Grade Teacher sunk in the Black Sea, leading to deaths of hundreds of servicemen. It was seen as a huge coup for Ukraine, whose forces have been given a steady stream of accurate intelligence on Russia that has proved devastating for Putin's war effort
The documents - while up to several months old - offer detailed insights into which Russian intelligence agencies have been most compromised, and clues as to how the United States has gleaned so much secret Kremlin information.
They are dated ranging from February 23 to March 1, and provide what appears to be details on the progress of weapons and equipment going into Ukraine with more precise timelines and amounts than the U.S.
But what would a similar timeline mean if they were weighing the case of someone active? Someone like Benn. This is when we look to UKAD again and with the added question of whether they are fit for purpose, because that is what they must prove.
That comes despite the US spending $200 billion on advanced military hardware and spying equipment for Ukraine, with the cash credited for helping the country successfully hold-off Russian advances far longer than anyone thought necessary.
And while support for funding Ukraine continues to have bipartisan support, news that US officials are often in the dark could raise questions over the sheer amount of resources that the White House continues to send to Eastern Europe.
They remain online, with Twitter owner Elon Musk saying there was little point in banning information which has already been widely circulated, and which will be easily-found elsewhere even if his moderators remove it.
They need to show it in pursuing this matter, whether that means establishing Benn's claim to innocence or his guilt. They need to do it before he finds his way to another ring via some creative paperwork.
UKAD documentation shows he was notified on April 6 last year, Khan announced his retirement, to praise, five weeks later, while this was still all quiet, and 14 months had eventually passed between the sample being collected and his ban being made public.
They were sanctioned a week apart last month and there was no great risk of a killer bite if the cases took a wrong turn — to go by the estimates from an agent in that area, the average second-tier player might earn £30,000 a year.
