The Russian Defense Ministry said for the first time Monday that it has suffered losses but didn't name any numbers.
The Kremlin has denied that the Russian military has used cluster munitions in Ukraine and insisted that the Russian forces only have struck military targets. Kremlin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov insisted Tuesday that "the Russian troops don't conduct any strikes against civilian infrastructure and residential areas". Peskov's claim contradicts abundant evidence documented by the AP of indiscriminate shelling of homes, schools, and hospitals across Ukraine.

Peskov also rejected the accusations that the Russian military has used cluster munitions and devastating vacuum weapons, dismissing them as fabrications.

Speaking in a conference call with reporters, he wouldn't respond to questions about whether the Kremlin is happy with the pace of the offensive and wouldn't comment on Russian military casualties.
