Mystery as 'significant' Russian figure 'seriously wounded' in Ukrainian special op

Ukraine claims its forces “seriously wounded” a high-profile Russian figure as part of a special forces mission into border city Belgorod.

Vladimir Putin’s forces sustained heavy losses in the Russian city as Ukraine bombarded the city, Ukraine's military chief has claimed.

Hundreds of Russians have been evacuated from Belgorod after a reported barrage of shelling from the Ukrainian army in recent days.

Kyiv spymaster Kyrylo Budanov said: “Not disclosing details, I can say that one of the very seriously wounded [in Russia’s Belgorod region] was quite a significant personality.

“They immediately requested a helicopter to evacuate him directly to Moscow," he added.

Budanov, 38, didn’t reveal any specific information about the wounded Russian’s identity.

He also said he could not corroborate earlier claims on social media that Putin’s war commander General Valery Gerasimov, 68, had been killed in a recent missile strike on Sevastopol, Crimea.

In Ukraine, the fog of war is a real pea soup.

Yes, the whole rumor about Gerasimov’s death began with an image found on Discord of a purported message on a Telegram channel. The guy who runs the Telegram claimed it was a fake image.

I never believe anything from any side until there is sufficient confirmation (and often there isn’t). Either Gerasimov is dead or he isn’t.

As for the “significant Russian figure”, who knows? The Express (British tabloid rag) is hardly known for accurate reporting on any subject. Lots of hysterical claims about lots of things.

Lol. There were at least 2 snipers aiming at tubby when that photo was taken. Tubby is a dangerous man. I’m sure the Russkis have seen this example of his prowess:

The Express is run by MI-5 and MI-6 like most Brit media.

Then MI5 and MI6 must be obsessed with Elvis’ sex life and the supposed feud between Camilla and Harry-Megan duo, judging by the current front page. It’s fishwrap.

(Just kidding around. The Express does parrot the approved line.)

Is it true Lloyd Austin was injured in Kiev during a Russian missile strike?

No, but according to the Express, Elvis and Camilla ... you don’t wanna know. It’s too gruesome.

I imagine they are. Probably MI-6 is shot through with Wiccans also. Dancing in robes at Stonehenge on the winter solstice.

I believe I heard Austin is dead. Not from elbow cancer like Potin, but from a bunker buster like bomb. heh

No, the idiots here are the ones that think ANY side of this is right. Most here haven’t figured this out yet.

Do you really need to post that on every thread related to Russia or Ukraine? Why not contribute something meaningful to the conversation instead?
