Russia has suffered the loss of yet another senior officer after the captain of a large Black Sea landing ship was killed in the war in Ukraine.
Captain Alexander Chirva died from wounds sustained in a battle with Ukrainian defenders, said the Governor Mikhail Razvozhayev.
His death is just the latest in a string of high-profile deaths for the Russian military, coming on the heels of seven generals already killed in action since the war began. Ukraine claims a staggering 20,800 Russian troops have been lost overall.
Chirva was a 3rd rank captain from a naval family who leaves behind a wife and a son. Unconfirmed reports suggest that Chriva's funeral was held in the Crimean city of Sevastopol, where he was from.
He was commander of the large, 370 ft landing ship Caesar Kunikov, capable of carrying ten main battle tanks plus 340 troops part of the Black Sea Fleet.
It is thought that the Caesar Kunikov was damaged during a Ukrainian missile attack on landing ships unloading supplies at the strategic port of Berdyansk on March 24, but it is unclear if this was the incident which led to the captain's death.

If the Daily Mail and other western propaganda sites are to be believed, the Soviet er Russian ‘Republic’ is sure losing s craphouse load of high ranking officers.

Jon(Nazi)Preston, when are you going to volunteer to die for your conscript gay porn addiction?
“and noncom casualties.”
As I understand it Russia does not really have NCOs in it’s armed forces.
This is really sad. Fruitless war.
Another Never Trump, keyboard 🎹 General reporting in!!
“marcusmaximus” aka Alexander Vindman.
LOL, nice.
So, Russia has lost 20,800 troops. Are they sure it isn’t 20,700? Seems like a pretty specific number. Is there any independent verification?
Another casualty, is people thinking you had a functioning frontal cortex.
Is posting Ukrainian propaganda and memes a full time job for you? If so, that’s pretty sad. Of all the constructive things you could be doing in your spare time...you choose this. 🤣
Yesterday was 20,600. Ukraine only kills by 100’s...
Daily Mail propaganda is always good for a laugh.
can’t you find any real news sources?
hope u well paid for this continuous trolling
Anything from Daily Mail is to be considered suspect.
Also they don’t want to publish anything that shows Russian successes as it SEVERLY hurts the stock markets and inflation/commodity prices.
