ANOTHER top Russian commander killed: Elite paratroop colonel and his deputy are 'liquidated' by Ukrainians as death toll in Putin's army hits 7,000
Daily Mail ^ | 3/18/2022 | Will Stewart

One of Russia's top paratroop commanders has been killed in Ukraine in the latest blow to Vladimir Putin's debilitating war effort.

The death of Col Sergei Sukharev, of the 331st Guards Parachute Assault Regiment from Kostroma, was confirmed by state TV in Moscow.

Earlier his 'liquidation' had been claimed by Ukraine's Centre for Strategic Communication and Information Security.

'Commander of the Kostroma Airborne Regiment, Colonel Sergei Sukharev… got lost in the "[military] exercises", but returned home the right way,' said the Ukrainian statement.

His deputy Major Sergei Krylov was killed alongside him, said the report.

They were among a number slain from the 'glorious' Kostroma regiment, seen as among Russia's most elite fighting forces.

Russia acknowledged that senior sergeant Sergei Lebedev, sergeant Alexander Limonov and corporal Yuri Degtyaryov were also killed.

Sukharev was seen on Russian TV in January when he led his troops back from Kazakhstan where they had been sent following a wave of protests.

Sounds like poots is losing.

Only Russian losses are being reported.

What are the current Ukrainian losses? Who knows? Is anyone objectively reporting on this? If Ukraine is winning decisively, why is Zelinski begging for assistance?

“Since the war on terror started for us what is the highest ranking officer we or our allies lost in combat, anyone know?”

Does combat including choking on Russkie caviar?

But the Daily Mail obviously struggles with the use of such alien terms. They can throw around “homophobic” and “mean-spirited” with at least a semblance of familiar usage. Their attempts to write these pro-war pieces leaves them pasting quotes together with an obvious lack of understanding. At least to me.

“Uhhh, I wouldn’t talk too much after Afghanistan and Vietnam.”

The difference being we were never defeated militarily in either. Democrat politicians lost both those wars, not our military.

The Putin-bots who claim stuff like this is fake should stop and reflect that, if it were, the Russians could easily make a 15 second video showing that Major General Whateverov is alive and well, and showing the Ukes to be liars.

The most-likely reason they don't is because General Whateverov is dead as a stone, and his carcass may not even be in Russian-controlled territory.

They seem to kill a General a day in the Russian military, if you are to believe this nonsense.

“I think his own side is going to put down their rabid dog before he destroys Russia anymore.”

That’s very possible.

From me jumper to another...

Yo Ivan -

You gotta take the bright red shiny ribbons off before the jump -

/s

Seriously though, I hate to see the death of Russians and Ukrainians... But UA truly should not have been invaded.

I know the FR Russian globalists fascists (and from 1991 CIS is structurally and formally fascist)

- who believe Putin’s fake gnostic-atheist-KGB-ROC
(Kirill and Francis both longtime KGB globalists, and very much working together)

- just needs 22.8 Million more square km of earths surface area CANNOT see it yet, but it’s pretty obvious NATO really was not going to intervene in UA in a serious way, even with all the carnage (what has already been “lab” witnessed.

As well, regardless of the necessary “smoke-&-mirrors” rhetoric, (and also because of the type of rhetoric used well in advance and during this “smash-and-grab”), my position remains, this was all well known in advance, and “green lighted” by DC puppets and global elites from China to Germany, and NY/DC.

Although, clearly nothing travels in a straight line 🤕

“The Russians aren’t just killed, they are “liquidated”. “

Don’t like sloppy press reporting either. Should have been they were “pureed, shaken, not stirred”.

Yet more propaganda from the Daily Mail. It’s all they seem to do now.

“The 2020 election was a real fraud.”

That is for sure -

But also keep in mind, Chinese and Russian proxies really did conduct (through various means - including assistance), penetration and manipulation of the November 3-4, 2020 US election.

Certainly not working alone, but it did occur.

As well, it wasn’t the first foreign “penetration/manipulation” US election dance.

And all involved got their highly fraudulent, and intentional pre POTUS candidacy *25A eligible, corrupt to the core perve in the White Hut.

“Also the moon landings were fake too”

They had to be fake, you can’t fly from the flat earth to the flat moon and land, cause you would be upside down, and all those pics showed our guys right side up.

Come on man...

Ukraine is Pounding the 4th most powerful nation on the Planet , they should rethink how they make the Most Powerful Nations List

Mariupol has been flattened. 90% of buildings are destroyed. Civilians have fled, the overwhelming majority of them to Russia, or the Russian-controlled parts of the Donbas. Kharkiv and Chernihiv continue to be bombarded with artillery and air strikes.

He’s approaching 3x the deaths we had in 20 years in Afghanistan, if this is to be believed

To be fair, the Russians are facing a relatively modern army that has support from the first world vs a bunch of goat humpers that follow a 7th century death cult.
