Two of Russia's top commanders were killed amid bitter fighting in Ukraine

Two of Russia's top commanders were killed today amid bitter fighting in the east of Ukraine.

The Russian Defence Ministry said Commander Vyacheslav Makarov of the 4th Motorized Rifle Brigade and Deputy Commander Yevgeny Brovko from a separate unit were killed trying to repel Ukrainian attacks.

The battle for Bakhmut has raged for a year as Ukrainian and Russian troops have even had to fight hand-to-hand with bayonets.

It said Makarov had been leading troops from the front line while Brovko 'died heroically, suffering multiple shrapnel wounds'.

The defence ministry rarely announces the deaths of military command in its daily briefings, since a string of senior officers were killed in the early months

Media hysteria. Depleted uranium is almost devoid of radiation.

I might have believed this last Spring or even Summer of 2022, but it is NOT to be.

Russia is spent. The war is a stalemate, and what you say isn’t coming to fruition.

But you say in six months there’ll be nothing left in Ukraine?

I can wait. Let’s take a look together in November. Say November 11, Veterans Day. A fitting reunion, no?

I really don’t have a dog in this fight; as retired military I follow all the battles as warfare was once my craft and it interests me. I look past the politics and opinion and focus on results. Nobody is winning.

Get help. You’re wasting time supporting Putin.

Didn't get the memo? Well here it is again: Just because one despises Zelenskyyy and does not want US taxpayer money going to Youcrayne does not automatically imply that one supports Putin.

I'll use myself as an example: I despise Zelenskyyyy and I despise Hitler V Putin. When hostilities end I'd love to see both of them hunted down by their peoples and hung.

Slavo Youcraney!
