Russia loses its EIGHTH colonel after fierce fighting in Kharkiv as Putin continues to lose high-ranking officers amid faltering invasion
Daily Mail ^ | 3/30/2022 | Jack Newman

An eighth Russian colonel has been killed in Ukraine in another devastating blow to Vladimir Putin's faltering invasion which has seen the loss of many high-ranking officers.

Kyiv said it had 'eliminated' Colonel Denis Kurilo, commander of the 200th separate motorised rifle brigade, who led Russia's bloody assault in Kharkiv where he was killed in battle.

The brigade had suffered massive losses in the fierce fighting, the Ukrainian army's press office said.

A picture of Kurilo was shared with a red X through it to announce his death.

Two battalion groups in the 200th brigade were destroyed, with a staggering loss of 1,500 servicemen, Ukraine has claimed.

The colonel is the latest in a long line of slain Russian military leaders, which experts say betray the Kremlin's blundering tactics in the brutal invasion.

It has also been revealed today that Lieutenant Colonel Dmitry Dormidontov was killed last week as his funeral was held in Russia today.

A source in the Tatarstan region of Russia said: 'Commander of the rocket artillery division, Lt-Col Dmitry Pavlovich Dormidontov, died while on duty,' said an account.

‘Putin Pet’ also seems to apply to anyone who suspects there’s something more going on in this war than what USA Today is telling us.

One of the Russian Generals, Mordvichev, has been spotted alive since he was reported killed. Don’t believe mainstream media. They have not been right about anything yet.

> Zelensky didn’t order the bloody invasion of another country. He’s better than Putin. <

Right. Poland before the German invasion in 1939 was not exactly a liberal country. But nobody would have the nerve to equate the Polish president at the time (Ignacy Moscicki) with Hitler.

Same should go here.

Talk about homepages, yours has you as a Cheney suckler....ie zero-creds. Most here would be embarrassed to admit that.

And I joined way before 2010, and way before either of you two s***-eaters.

Here’s hoping Ukraine gets smashed to ash and rubble. Only because I know how much anus pain it’ll cause Cheney scumbuckets.

No, he ordered the bloody attacks on Ukrainians in his own country in Donbas - men, women, children.

I’m amazed anyone can support Putin or Zelenskiy as if there is moral superiority in parsing which is less evil.

move our troops to the Mexican border.

Can’t move troops to boarder. Posse Comitatus prevents them from being armed. Unarmed US troops would be slaughtered by the heavily armed cartels.

But then, US troops protecting the country from invasion would be counter the 0bama-Biden plan to destroy the US in 4 years or less.

It’ll be a while before anyone really knows the truth about this conflict.

“Putin pet” - that sounds like something directly out of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s mouth.

Colonel Vindman (candidate for Ukraine’s Defense Minister job) alone, has done more damage to our republic than has Vladmir Putin. Now add in the Bidens, the Democrats, George Soros, the NYT, etc., etc., etc.

Nobody else but you and all the other warmongering Liz Cheney neocons.

They’re dropping like flies I tells ya! Pooty Poot should do the same before he gets deposed, with the Nicolae Ceaușescu 1989 treatment.

Just like Lincoln did during our Civil War.
