Putin Sending Dead Russian Soldiers to Ukraine To Hide Losses: Zelensky
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Russia sent to Ukraine some of its dead troops in a prisoner and body exchange to hide Moscow's true battlefield losses, according to Volodymyr Zelensky. The Ukrainian president said that Vladimir Putin was using the return of war dead to obscure the scale of military losses from the Russian public. "Putin is afraid to admit how many people have died," Zelensky told the media briefing, according to the Kyiv Independent. Newsweek has contacted the Russian defense ministry for comment. Vladimir Putin is pictured at the 28th Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum SPIEF 2025, June 20, 2025, in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Vladimir Putin is pictured at the 28th Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum SPIEF 2025, June 20, 2025, in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Why It Matters Ukraine's General Staff said on Saturday Russian forces have sustained over 1,010,000 casualties—killed and wounded—since the start of the full-scale invasion. While both sides keep tight-lipped about losses, Zelensky is accusing Moscow of hiding the scale of losses from the Russian public for fear of undermining any future mobilization. What To Know Zelensky's comments follow a prisoner and body exchange agreement in Istanbul on June 2 which was the most extensive of the full-scale war. Ukraine recovered 6,057 bodies of its fallen soldiers while Russia took back only 78, according to Kremlin aide Vladimir Medinsky. Zelensky has said the vast majority of Russian soldiers killed on the battlefield remain in Russian hands. But at least 20 of the bodies Russia returned as Ukrainian were actually Russian soldiers, some of whom had Russian passports according to Zelensky as part of a policy by Moscow to "break the reality in which we live." The Ukrainian president also cited the case of an Israeli citizen who had died fighting on Russia's side whom Moscow had passed off as a Ukrainian soldier. Ukrainian Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko had said on Thursday the remains of Alexander Viktorovich Bugaev, from Russia's 39th Separate Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade, had been returned to Ukraine disguised as a Ukrainian casualty. Independent Russian outlet Mediazona, along with the BBC Russian Service, has verified the identities of 111,387 Russian soldiers killed but with the caveat that the official proof required meant actual number is likely much higher. What People Are Saying Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, per Kyiv Independent: "Putin is afraid to admit how many people have died. Because if the moment comes when he needs to mobilize, his society will be afraid." Ukrainian Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko: "This shows how little human life means to Russia. Or maybe it's just a way to avoid paying compensation to the families." What Happens Next Russia is likely to continue to suffer huge losses amid marginal battlefield gains. It comes as Ukraine's military intelligence (HUR) reported on Saturday that Moscow is recruiting migrant workers from Central Asia as "cannon fodder." Migrant workers from Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and other countries in the region are joining Russia's armed forces under duress and are used in the most dangerous areas of the front line.

OCUFA Challenges Ontario Government's Narrative on Postsecondary Funding Crisis, Welcomes Review with Call for Meaningful Faculty Consultation
TORONTO, ON, June 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations (OCUFA) today responded to the announcement by Minister of Colleges, Universities, Research Excellence and Security (MCURES) Nolan Quinn of $55.8 million to expand teaching training seats across Ontario. While OCUFA welcomes any new investment in the postsecondary sector, the organization asserts that the Ontario government is not taking meaningful action to address the deep-seated financial crisis facing Ontario's world-class public universities. Minister Quinn highlighted that the investment would train up to 2,600 new teachers by 2027, prioritizing accelerated programs, French and technological education, and seats in northern, rural, Indigenous, and remote regions. However, when asked on the broader financial challenges confronting the sector, Minister Quinn attributed these issues to "unilateral decisions" by the federal government regarding international student study permits. "The financial struggles plaguing Ontario's postsecondary education sector are not a sudden development, nor are they solely a result of federal changes to international student permit caps', stated OCUFA President Nigmendra Narain. "For decades, Ontario's universities have endured chronic underfunding, consistently ranking dead last in Canada in per-student funding. We are disappointed to see the Ontario Government downplay its own responsibility in supporting this vital sector." OCUFA is deeply concerned that Ontario's universities are currently grappling with program closures, enrollment pauses, increasing precarity among faculty, and significant challenges in funding the province's most promising talent. The undergraduate programs that produce the students who enter teacher's college are not only underfunded, but are now facing cuts, limiting the academic preparation of teachers. While the $55.8 million for teaching pathways is a positive step, OCUFA emphasizes that these recent commitments only scratch the surface of the sector's needs. To simply reach Canada's national per-student funding average, Ontario requires an immediate investment of at least $2.78 billion, possibly more depending on the impact of declining international student enrolment. Without substantial and ongoing funding commitments, Ontario's position as a world leader in postsecondary education, research, and scholarship will continue to be at jeopardy. OCUFA welcomes the Minister's announcement that his ministry will be reviewing how funding is delivered across the postsecondary sector. "We sincerely hope for meaningful consultation during this process and that the Ontario Government will ensure the voices of university faculty and academic librarians across the province are not only heard but respected," said OCUFA Executive Director Jenny Ahn, echoing recommendations made at OCUFA's Funding Our Future: Keeping Universities Public conference in 2023. Founded in 1964, OCUFA represents more than 18,000 professors and academic librarians in 30 faculty associations across Ontario. It is committed to enhancing the quality of higher education in Ontario and recognizing the outstanding contributions of its members towards creating a world-class university system.

NATO Scrambles Fighter Jets To Intercept Russian Bombers
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Sweden scrambled military aircraft in response to Russian fighter jets spotted over the southern parts of the Baltic Sea. Swedish Armed forces spokesperson Mikael Ågren said two JAS Gripen planes were deployed over Skåne and Malmö in response to the Russian aircraft which did not violate the airspace of NATO's newest member. The incident follows a series of Russian aircraft spotted flying in the region during NATO military exercises over the last two weeks and a warning by German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul of further operations by Moscow to destabilize the region. Newsweek has contacted the Russian defense ministry and the Swedish Armed Forces for comment. This image from on April 8, 2025 a Swedish Air Force Saab JAS 39 Gripen jet fighter lands during the NATO's Ramstein Flag 2025 exercise at Leeuwarden Air Base. This image from on April 8, 2025 a Swedish Air Force Saab JAS 39 Gripen jet fighter lands during the NATO's Ramstein Flag 2025 exercise at Leeuwarden Air Base. JOHN THYS//Getty Images Why It Matters With Sweden's accession to the alliance, the Baltic Sea is dubbed a NATO Lake where members of the bloc surrounding the waters have reported a spike in Russian military activity. Sweden's deployment of aircraft is the latest sign of tensions in the Baltic region. What To Know Ågren said that Sweden's military deployed two JAS Gripen planes over Skåne and Malmö at 6:15 p.m. on Friday. He said the operation was not part of a scheduled exercise and during a regular patrol by Swedish forces near the borders, Russian Sukhoi Su-30 planes were detected in international airspace. Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet said it had received calls from readers who had seen three Swedish fighter planes over the Stockholm region. Ågren said that there had been increased activity in the region and sightings of military aircraft over the Baltic Sea have become more frequent in recent weeks. But he said people should not be concerned is they hear Swedish planes in the sky because "it's the sound of freedom you hear." The incident comes as NATO's Baltops-25 exercises were coming to an end in the Baltic region which involved over 40 ships, 25 aircraft and approximately 9,000 personnel. During this period, there was a spike in Russian military flights operating close to NATO airspace and U.K. Royal Air Force Typhoon jets based in Poland were scrambled six times in as many days in response. Meanwhile, video posted on social media showed a Russian Sukhoi Su-24 fighter jet releasing flares over a U.S. Navy ship in international waters in the region. What People Are Saying Swedish Armed forces spokesperson Mikael Ågren: "It's a signal to show that we've seen them and that we're on our toes, even on Midsummer's we do, we do for the sake of freedom. "We need to keep track of which aircraft are in our vicinity, and then we need to go up and identify them sometimes. Today we did that and even got pictures of them." German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul: "These hybrid operations and military provocations are dangerous. They are designed to destabilize our societies and to test our ability to respond." What Happens Next Wadephul warned on Friday that the Baltic Sea region is becoming a dangerous hotspot where Russia's aggressive hybrid activities "are undermining our peace and security". In anticipation of further Russian operations in the region, NATO announced in January the launch of Baltic Sentry to bolster the alliance's military presence in the Baltic Sea.
