Ukraine has killed another Russian general in a further “serious blow to the morale” of the invading forces, a government adviser said Wednesday.
Maj. Gen. Oleg Mityaev died Tuesday during the storming of Ukraine’s most devastated city, Mariupol, according to Interior Ministry adviser Anton Gerashchenko — who later posted a photo of the body.
Mityaev would be at least the fourth general killed during the invasion, which Kremlin officials are reportedly calling a complete “cluster-–-.’’
Mityaev, 46, commanded the 150th Motorized Rifle Division and had fought in Syria, Gerashchenko said, saying his body was found with “the shoulder straps of a major general.”
He was “one of the most promising and iconic Russian military leaders,” claimed Gerashchenko as he celebrated “the liquidation of the general.”
“This is a serious blow to the morale of Russian commanders. And the huge success of the Heroes of Mariupol,” the Ukrainian official wrote.

Then why do we need to send Ukraine anything? Sounds like they have things well in hand.
I’m sure there are a lot of VietNam vets who wished Westmorland was dealt the same fate.
Boy, they sure sound like they are winning the war, huh?
Can’t wear shiny medals and rank on your lapels and hat and not expect to get shot at.

Previous reported. Previous Debunked.
Gee, it’s almost like they know where these guys are...
Apparently, about every fourth Russian in Ukraine is a general.
With all that Ukrainian success in killing Russian Generals and troops left and right but need that ‘no fly zone,’ yeah? /s
Can you say Robert McNamara? Just axin’.
prayer cards?
Russians are forgetting the hard lessons they learned in 1945. Armored vehicles were not designed and do not do well in urban fighting.
Why are the Russians using armor the Iraqis didnt use with their Republican Guard 20 years ago?
Dang his troops left him there.

Because you’re an idiot.
We need to send them weapons to kill the Russian scum you worship.
It's called "being resupplied". It's not really practical to find all the little bits of a rocket after you've fired it, glue them back together, and then reuse it.
