Another top Russian military figure has been eliminated in Ukraine amid Putin’s invasion of the sovereign nation.
Several renowned Russian commanders – including a general and three major generals – have been killed in action after Putin’s invasion of Ukraine was stalled due to the fierce Ukrainian resistance.
The most recent high-profile Russian casualty is Colonel Sergei Sukharev, the commander of the 331st Guards Parachute Assault Regiment.
“Commander of the Kostroma Airborne Regiment, Colonel Sergei Sukharev got lost in the ‘[military] exercises’, but returned home the right way,” Ukraine’s Centre for Strategic Communication and Information Security defiantly announced after the head of the elite forces regiment was “liquidated.”
The death of the Kostroma Airborne Regiment leader was later also confirmed on Russian state TV.point 259 |
The program also revealed that Sukharev died alongside other members of the regiment including corporal Yuri Degtyaryov, sergeant Alexander Limonov, and senior sergeant Sergei Lebedev.point 160 | 1
Sukharev’s deputy, Major Sergei Krylov, was reportedly also eliminated by the Ukrainian forces.
The news comes after the death of several high-profile Russian military figures including Lieutenant Colonel Denis Glebov, Colonel Konstantin Zizevsky, Lieutenant Colonel Dmitry Safronov, and Colonel Andrei Zakharov.
Among the slain commanders were also Vladimir Zhonga, the leader of the notorious neo-Nazi group called Sparta Battalion, and General Magomed Tushaev, the commander of Chechen special forces who was ambushed and killed near Hostomel.
Stopped from committing further atrocities in Ukraine were also Major General Andrei Kolesnikov, the 29th Combined Army commander, Major General Andrei Sukhovetsky, the 41st Combined Arms Army of the Central Military District deputy commander, and Major General Vitaly Gerasimov, the 41st Army’s chief of staff.point 405 | 1
