This attack is part of Ukraine’s strategy to target senior Russian commanders, aiming to weaken their military.
A TOP Putin general is fighting for his life after a brutal Ukrainian strike blew up a Russian column in Kursk – reportedly leaving him with devastating injuries and multiple amputations.
Lt-Gen Esedulla Abachev, 57, was hit on the Rylsk–Khomutovka highway in the Kursk region early on Saturday, according to Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR).
The decorated officer – deputy commander of Russia’s North Group of Forces – was urgently airlifted to the Vishnevsky Central Clinical Hospital in Moscow where surgeons amputated an arm and a leg, the Kyiv Post reported.
A pro-Moscow source admitted: “He is alive, but in serious condition [after] traumatic amputation of the arm and part of the leg.”
Ukrainian forces also blew up an ammo depot in occupied Melitopol a day earlier, killing marines and fighters from Ramzan Kadyrov’s notorious “Akhmat-Vostok” Chechen unit.
HUR gloated: “There will be just retribution for every war crime against the Ukrainian people.”
Bloody track record
Abachev has been at the heart of nearly every Kremlin war in recent decades.
He graduated from the Kharkiv Higher Tank Command School in 1989 before fighting in the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, the Second Chechen War, Russia’s 2008 invasion of Georgia, and the terror campaign in Syria.
“For each of these ‘bloody feats,’ Abachev was personally awarded the Order of Courage by Putin,” reported evocation.info.
Since 2022, Abachev has played a major role in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, commanding the 2nd Army Corps of the so-called “Luhansk People’s Republic.”

True! They love grisly things. They delight in blood and gore. Jim and the Mods have had to remove a lot of graphic snuff videos that zeepers have gleefully posted here - mostly on the ghetto thread from what I understand. I think some made it out into the general population, though.
Some of these zeepers get off to that stuff. It’s creepy.

Way to go, Vladdy! Your ego is bolstered by Satan himself. You still have all of your limbs, though, so all is cool. 🤮
