Commander of the Russian Federation’s twenty ninth Army, Lieutenant General Roman Berdnikov.
Commander of the Russian Federation’s twenty ninth Army, June 6th, unconfirmed reports state top Russian officer, Lieutenant General Roman Berdnikov commander of the 29th Army, serving as Second-in-command of the 1st Army Corps, Donetsk People's Militia was killed in Ukraine this morning in Severodonetsk, Luhansk, Ukraine. He now is the most recent death of highest-ranking Russian generals.
Russian state television confirms that Major-General Roman Kutuzov was killed in eastern Ukraine June 5th, reports the Reuters news agency. The report did not provide more details and the Russian army did comment.
These senior commanders were killed during heavy fighting in eastern Ukraine, where Russian forces have been stepping up assaults on the key city Sievierodonetsk, in the Donbas region.
These two are the most recent Russian generals killed in Ukraine, reports say, adding to the string of senior military casualties suffered by the Kremlin.
Russia officially lists military deaths as state secrets even in times of peace and has not updated its official casualty figures in Ukraine since March 25, when it said that 1351 Russian soldiers had been killed since the start of the Ukraine invasion on February 24.
The UK Ministry of Defense said that Russia appeared to have suffered SIGNIFICANT LOSSES amongst mid-level and junior-ranking officers in Ukraine.
"On the one hand, the general had led soldiers into the attack, as if there are not enough colonels. On the other hand, Roman was a commander like everyone else, albeit with a higher rank," reported Sladkov, the Rossia state broadcaster's war correspondent, according to The Moscow Times.
KUTUZOV WAS 'FORCED' TO LEAD THE ASSAULT
Ukrainian naval infantry officer Dmitry Ivanov claimed that Kutuzov, who was forced to lead the assault on the front line, had ordered his forces to storm a settlement in the Donetsk region.
Ivanov in his Facebook post noted that "on June 5, Kutuzov gave the 1st and 100th Brigades a suicide order to storm a settlement in the Donetsk region."
Ivanov underlined that it's not known for sure whether the troops were in no hurry to do so, or "whether they killed at all on the orders, but Romka was forced to lead the assault when he arrived at the front line."
Kutuzov Died in The Area of Nikolaevka Settlement
Kutuzov, who was chief of staff of the 29th Combined Arms Army, died in the area of Nikolaevka settlement when his vehicle was ambushed by Ukrainian forces, sources told Daily Mail.
Daily Mail is as bad as Intel Slava Z.
one less monster
good riddance
Kutuzov’s death was reported by Russian State television reporter Alexander Sladkov but he didn’t elaborate on the exact cause of his death.
War going badly for you? Maybe its time you head over chickenhawk.
According to the article, apparently the Russian invasion is going badly for Russian generals have been killed in Ukraine, and the string of senior military casualties suffered by the Kremlin.
OMG it’s Gru
“ On the one hand, the general had led soldiers into the attack.” On the other hand….well, when he was last seen he did not have another hand. Or head. Or leg.
That’s how it is in Ukraine.
Yes we must believe only what Russia says -
Russia has lost only 1580 troops so far
sanctions are having no effect
and the Moskva accidentally caught fire and sank while being towed back to port
Three Russian Generals walk into a bar in the Ukraine.
The two generals go and sit down at the bar.
The one general then turns to the bartender to order a drink.
And the bartender looks, and no one is there.
The bartender says, “Damn snipers, they keep ruining my joke.”
(copied from an unknown poster I can’t remember on FR.)
“and the Moskva accidentally caught fire and sank while being towed back to port”
Did you know the Russian warships in the Black Sea have no showers?
Yeah, the Russian sailors prefer to wash up on the shore.
(Again, hat tip to a poster I forgot.)
You don’t bother to check your tag line, tovarisch....
5/31 essay by Dmitry Orlov. Food for thought.

“Those who insist on operating with incomplete and faulty information make bad decisions and create bad outcomes for themselves. But it gets worse: while wallowing in the putrid bath of predicaments of their own making, they will discover that they have earned the Russians’ hate and that the Russians have been planning to take revenge on them.”
I wonder what these guys did to piss Putin off. Probably nothing more than being better men than he is. He thanks whoever is taking the credit this time around for helping to get rid of all of his potential political foes.
so the Russians are cowards like the Mafia
they kill anyone who criticizes them, that’s what you’re saying, right?
NOW THAT IS FUNNY!
If these high-ranking Russians were in fact killed, you can be sure it was with targeting info provided by Nato / US intelligence. The neocons on the Pentagon are playing with fire. This could end very badly for all parties.
How many generals does Russia have? Never read about privates being killed...they got any of those?
Blah, blah, blah, bad neocons, yada, yada, yada
