Russia’s back-from-the-dead commander of the Black Sea Fleet has appeared in a new video released by state-controlled media declaring that “life goes on” after he was rumored to have died in a Ukrainian missile strike.
Admiral Viktor Sokolov appeared to comment directly on reports of his death in comments to a reporter published by Izvestia. Asked to say a few words to residents of Sevastopol regarding “what happened,” Sokolov replied: “And what happened? Nothing happened.”
He went on to boast of how the Black Sea Fleet is “successfully” fulfilling all of its tasks.

Body double?
“Body double?”
Almost certainly not.
There is no way Russia gather so much top brass above ground that close to the front.
Ukraine was just hallucinating another glorious victory on the Russian front.
I do know that a large part of his staff was killed. That will set the Russians back farther than if just the boss snuffed it.
