Ukraine's SBU captures Russian soldier suspected of executing 9 Ukrainian POWs in 2024
Ukraine's Security Service detained a Russian soldier for allegedly executing nine Ukrainian POWs in October 2024, amid ongoing war crimes investigations by Kyiv.
- On Jan. 19, Ukraine's Security Service said its long-range strikes over the past year disabled about $4 billion of Russian air defense systems.
- The SBU said the campaign aims to grind down Russian combat capability and compensate for being outmanned, highlighting joint long-range operations with the Ukrainian Navy that destroyed Atlant Aero last week.
- The SBU listed several specific systems including S-300, S-350, S-400, BUK-M1, BUK-M2, Pantsir-S1, Pantsir-S2, Tor-M series launchers, and losses to Nebo-U and Gamma-D radar stations.
- The SBU said the immediate effect was opening corridors through Russia's layered air defences for Ukrainian drones, but Moscow had not reacted by publication and verification is difficult.
- RUSI expert Justin Bronk warned this month that Russia still fields several hundred SAM batteries despite attrition, limiting the strategic picture, while analysts caution claims are hard to independently assess.
