Vladimir Putin has suffered the loss of his 38th colonel in the war in Ukraine as the Russian top brass toll worsens.
Lieutenant Colonel Fyodor Evgenievich Solovyov, 44, died in the Donbas, according to reports in his homeland.
Solovyov was commander of the howitzer self-propelled artillery regiment of the 127 motorised rifle division.
He was buried with full military honours and a triple volley of guns in Chunaki village, Penza region.
A Russian report said: 'He died as a hero on the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic.'
Details were not given as to how he was killed but he was posthumously awarded Russia's Order of Courage.
Nine generals and 38 colonels have been killed since 24 February in Putin's war according to known statistics, although Russia has not come clean on total fatalities.

Russia’s Order of Cannon Fodder
Going down faster than ISIS or AQ ‘leaders’.
Daily Mail? Sure. 🤣
Leading from the front. Lots of German generals and colonels were killed in Barbarossa.
US doctrine since 1945 emphasizes the safety of 06 and up. We see where that has gotten us.

Excuse me, but Ukraine is being turned into rubble, the little beggar Z continues to beg for arms, men, equipment, doesn’t sound like winning.Get back with us when the Ukies are marching on Red Square.
As for the dead, Vlad will simply bury the dead, Zelensky will to, but have to beg for US taxpayers money ( minus 10 percent for Joe) in rebuilding his country for decades, again, doesn’t sound like winning to me.
Don’t get sucked in.

We lost most first rate Generals in the Clinton purges; 0bama got the up and comers and late bloomers. Now we have the 3rd raters - made to order for the US haters.
Honors for what? A totally unnecessary immoral war to build a dying dictator’s ridiculous empire which isn’t good for his people and can’t possibly last.
Promotions in the Russian Army have been considerably stimulated.
