A Polish general dies deep in Ukraine

Warsaw says soldier died of ‘unexplained natural causes’ while Moscow claims to hit Chasiv Yar command center secretively hosting senior NATO officials

Before the Ukrainian counteroffensive commenced, the important city of Bakhmut fell to the Russians. I wrote at the time that it seemed the Russians would also aim to take the town of Chasiv Yar but that didn’t happen because the war shifted to the south and the Ukrainian counteroffensive.

Meanwhile, a month later, the so-called hero of Bakhmut, Yevgeny Prigozhin and some of his Wagner forces, invaded Russia in what looked like an attempted coup d’etat but also may have been timed to help Ukraine’s large-scale counteroffensive.

Bakhmut’s capture and what happened in the Donbas shifted to the counteroffensive and the internal threat to Moscow. Russian forces did not move toward Chasiv Yar.

Chasiv Yar was extremely important during the battle for Bakhmut. It was the feeder for troops being sent into Bakhmut and for the rotation of soldiers fighting there.

It was the source of supply of ammunition, food and medical support for Ukraine’s army in the city. Chasiv Yar was also the command center not only for the Ukrainians but also for their Western military advisers.

According to the Russians, the bunker was hit by one or more Iskander missiles. The Iskander is a short-range ballistic missile that can operate at hypersonic speed (Mach 5.9). It has different types of warheads including bunker busters that weigh between 1,000 and 1,500 pounds.

Inside that command center were very senior NATO officers, some of whom were killed, according to Russian reports. One of them was Brigadier General Adam Marczak of the Polish army.

Poland reported his death, which the Polish Army said was due to “unexplained natural causes.”…

Just another example of the corrupted western media, don’t get sucked in.

Vlad is hammering NATO troops in Ukraine. As the article states many dead, I wonder how many more NATO officers have been eliminated?

Post war analysis will be stunning….the disgusting part is how many bought into senile Joe’s narrative.

Meanwhile, there has not been a live sighting of retired Canadian General Trevor Cadieu since Mariupol fell (AFAIK). And the media have shown zero interest in finding out where he is or what happened to him.

How many pro-Russian threads have you posted in the last few days?

All from untrustworthy sources like TASS, Sputnik, and Asia Times

The Russian dis-info campaign is approaching screech levels ... which is a comment on how badly Russia is doing ...

Just curious.
When US troops dies in off the book missions in places they aren’t publicly supposed to be, are those deaths explained away to family, etc as training accidents instead?

The Poles have been itching for a fight, so what do they expect?

I keep getting told that this is not a world war, but foreigners seem to keep dying in this war.

How many pro-Ukrainian and anti-Russian threads have you posted here in the last few days? What do you post on other than that topic?

I love it, you try to discredit a news outlet that is reporting an official Polish Government news release.

Let me guess, you are triple vaxed?

They know they’re next, if Ukraine falls.

Read again the thread of comments.

"Untrustworthy source" was a Canadian's assertion, not mine. Ironically, that Canadian seems to be somewhere in or around Vancouver, and so is right nearby to the Asia Times mail address - circa ten miles. Another ironic point: Delta is another wee town just south of Richmond. But not Delta 7, which is not a town south of Vancouver....

Read the thread's comments sequentially.

And, by the way, my wife and I are not vaxed, and the real mortality rate for Covid across all these years is less than one tenth of one percent.

And, by the way, the author of the article is worth noting.
Stephen Bryen, Senior Fellow
Based on that very American and conservative resume, his views seem worth more than those of an anonymous Canadian's.

Have you noticed that the date of the original article reporting the attack on the "command post" in Chasiv Yar is April 12, 2022?

So how does an attack in April of 2022 have anything to do with the situation today?

And why does the supposedly reliable author of the article write:

"That latter role is what has again become clear in the last week of March, as the Russians successfully bombed a six-story deep command bunker in Chasiv Yar on March 26."

When the source he cites says that the attack happened in April of 2022.

That's real quality expert analysis.

Based on his resume, perhaps. Based on him citing an article from April of 2022 about an attack on a command center as support for his claim that the attack happened last week his views don’t seem worth much of anything.

And, you're Zelensky penis piano playing lover.

Let me make myself clear -- I'd be more than happy to post absolutely nothing about Russia or the war in Ukraine if the Zeepers here would stop posting their nonsense bullsh$t here, propaganda that does nothing but parrot Biden regime talking points.

This country has 99 problems but the war in Ukraine isn't one of them.

Piss off.

Before we give another penny of US tax dollars to Ukraine, you and your ilk can be dragged through the streets by your testicles.

Those that love this country are sick and tired of corrupt politicians and their financial backers being more concerned with Ukraine than the many problems here.

Does that register through your thick skull, you miserable POS?
