Russian forces have floundered in Ukraine and history shows Russia's army can be beaten in combat, Poland's president told a military parade on Friday marking the 105th anniversary of a victory over the Red Army by Polish defenders.

The Kremlin planned to enlist 343,000 people in 2025 and has already fulfilled over 60% of that goal, Vadym Skibitskyi, deputy head of Ukraine's military intelligence (HUR), said.

Russia is withdrawing some of its military forces from Ukraine. It is the first indication that Kyiv’s incursion is forcing Moscow to reconsider its battle plans. Ukraine’s top military commander claims 100 Russian prisoners of war have been captured since the start of Ukraine’s surprise invasion.
