Russia's Defence Ministry said on Sunday that two of its military commanders were killed in eastern Ukraine, as Kyiv's forces renewed efforts to break through Russian defences in the embattled city of Bakhmut.
In a daily briefing, the ministry said that 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.
It said that Makarov had been leading troops from the front line, and that Brovko "died heroically, suffering multiple shrapnel wounds". The defence ministry rarely announces the deaths of military command in its daily briefings.
It also said Ukrainian forces waged attacks in the north and south of Bakhmut over the past 24 hours, but that they had not broken through Russian defences. "All attacks by units of Ukraine's armed forces have been repelled," it said.
Reuters was not able to independently verify Russia's account.

Who gives a crap?
“Who gives a crap?”
Anyone who reads and responds!
Blah, ba blahhh, ba, blahhhhhh
Its just funny reading stuff like this in between yet another post of Col Whatshisface saying Russia has annihilated the Ukraine army for the 31224234213451th time.
“Who gives a crap?”
I do
Early in the war the Ukrainians were picking off top officers every few days.
That has slowed. It seems the Muscovites leaders learned not to stick their heads up.
Bakhmut liberation underway..
Ukrainian military reporter Butusov on demilitarisation of the 4th Brigade commander, Vyacheslav Makarov: "he was an extremely dangerous enemy...an important achievement for the [Ukrainian] artillery or assault brigade".
Support for Putin isn’t conservatism.
Two hapless idiots died to make Russia Soviet again!
Morons.
“Who gives a crap?”
You do. Obviously.
Really baffling how the vaunted Russian military, so much feared by our defense contractor lobbyists, is now such a laughing stock and can’t even take over Ukraine.
If the Kremlin says 2 were killed, then we know the real number is higher
Let them kill each other. Just no American involvement
How about no Russian involvement? That would be even better!
Russia and Russia jr. Same crap. Zelensky is a crook who has Biden in his pocket. Vlad is one sick mofo We need to stay away.
