Vladimir Putin suffered another grievous blow ahead of his Victory Day military extravaganza in Moscow tomorrow with the death of his 39th colonel in his bloody war in Ukraine.
Lt-Col Fezul Bichikaev, 36, was a high-flying elite soldier who died on a secret intelligence mission.
The father-of-three is being portrayed as a hero who was killed near Kharkiv 'with a machine gun in his hands covering his subordinates', according to reports in Russia.
A radio signal announced 'the commander is wounded' after a bullet pierced an artery, but he reportedly ordered his men: 'It's a scratch! Keep working! Work!'
'Thanks to the self-sacrifice and heroism of the officer, it was possible to save the lives of servicemen, destroy the enemy's sabotage group, and complete the combat mission,' said military expert Oleg Marzoev on a local news website in Vladikavkaz, North Ossetia.
He was one of Russia's youngest colonels, second in command of his regiment, and his death amounted to 'a heavy, irreparable loss', said the report.
His funeral was being held today.
Bichikaev's death comes a day after the disclosure of the death of Lt-Col Fyodor Solovyov, 44, in the Donbas.
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.
Four days earlier Lt-Col Eduard Dmitriev, 44, a tank commander, was reported to have been killed.

Daily Mail propaganda is always good for a laugh!

We need to stay out of other countries civil wars.

Dayb4Yesterday - Russian forces took Shandryholove, Starvky & Nyzhnie..Today Russian forces captured Dibrova (South of Lyman) and Vojevodivka (North of Severodonetsk)..
Russian forces took control of the southern hills of Azovstal plant;Russian forces took control of the town of Popasnaya.
Very interesting that the Uke governor of Luhansk reported that the Rus have opened a new front attacking near Severo at Bilohrivka.. about 15K uke troops in that area and are about to have supply roads cut off.

This means that the Brit journopuppets like sWill Stewart who ARE writing about Ukraine are writing government-approved pieces.
And the government is firmly behind Ukraine...
Nice try Commie. Go worship your war criminal.
Is a real mockup of a Soviet Union WW2 memorial?
Russian Colonel’s lead the fight.
Uke “leaders” turn and run, leaving orders that their soldiers turn to vapour.
Let’s see who wins
