I agree. Putin is brutal but he is not stupid.
Reportedly, another Russian general officer is going home in a bag. Was that part of Putin’s plan, too?

“Reportedly” Do you mean like in reportedly a Ukrainian pilot shot down 5 Russian Migs in 4 minutes? Even if this simple fact was not bull propaganda, which I will not concede, does anecdotal incidents draw a full picture of the battle in Eastern Ukraine where the real war is being fought and civilians are fleeing under the shelling. Have you looked at a map there to see the growing red areas put out by the international news media and defense sources here that are now under Russian control? And, lastly, when is the last time you have seen a General officer killed in combat anywhere. Very rare occurrence even when you are winning the war. Generally, when it occurs, it is an accidental hit and there is another general right behind him to replace him.
