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.

Another one bites the dust.
Why do I suspect that he died from two .17 caliber shots to the back of the head?
Are we including senior officers that Putin has “dismissed” for failing their missions?
Good!
In a few weeks Russian control of Mariupol and a land bridge from Luhansk to Donetsk and Crimea will be established. Over 40,000 Ukrainian troops will surrender or be annihilated. At that point the NY Times and White House propaganda about the phony Zelenskyy will be seen for what it is. A duped NATO puppet and globalist handmaiden.
I’m posting a link to a Russian who I think has a better read on Putin than anyone in our political arena. If he’s right, then our politicians are doing a lot of wrong things if we’d really want to avoid Putin using nuclear weapons. He’s got some good points.

Stupid war.

Duplicate? This guy has died here about 9 times...
The NeoCon brigade just hasn’t had anything to masturbate about today.
Is that the super hot chick with 5 pounds of makeup?
Definitely not propaganda...
The neocon puppeteers who are running the Joek and the Ho WANT nuclear war.
After all - they're not anywhere near the battlefield [well, except those NATO and American command embeds].
Thanks for the link, BTW.
At least!
His Macho is done
It’s sweet to see the second time as well.
Black keyboards upon their desk
These are men, the neocons' best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Keyboard.

I saw a report that Ukraine took a village near Donetsk recently.
