Adviser to Ukrainian military commander killed by booby-trapped gift
The Guardian ^ | November 6, 2023 | Agencies in Kyiv

A close adviser to the commander-in-chief of Ukraine’s army has been killed after a booby-trapped birthday present he was given exploded.

“Under tragic circumstances, my assistant and close friend, Major Gennadiy Chastiakov, was killed … on his birthday,” Gen Valery Zaluzhny posted on Telegram on Monday, saying that an “unknown explosive device detonated in one of his gifts”.

Chastiakov leaves a wife and four children, he said.

Zelenskiy has also been forced to deny that the conflict has reached a deadlock, but admitted on Sunday that it had reached a “difficult situation”.

Wasn’t there a similar act in Russia last year, with a woman delivering a package to some sort of party for a military officer?

It is thought to be Zelensky behind this as retaliation for Zaluzhny saying they are losing the war.

It wasn’t a military officer that was blown up earlier this year, it was a pro-war blogger.

I guess this will cost us another billion to two in bribe money.

Same thing happened to Wile E. Coyote when he sent a bomb to the Roadrunner.

—————-
The two top Generals, Zaluzhny and Srysky ( known as the Butcher of Bakmut for sending massive amounts of troops into Vlads meat grinder) are feared by St Zelensky for obvious reasons….the main one being a military coup….which is getting more likely every day….it has been mentioned less than six Ukie battalions will be needed to oust Zelensky and successfully occupy the key buildings in Kiev.

Much like Hitler and his “ staff”, I suspect many plans are being formulated- most likely from the Territorial Guard units that were deliberately wasted away.

Meanwhile, the Kherson region alone was hammered by 87 FAB aerial bombs ( the big boys) in one day…..Russian bomb, rocket, artillery, drone production has skyrocketed ten fold in less than a year, the Pentagon is in awe and wonder.

Do you really think anyone has told that zombie, Austin, any of this?

The “ blame game” of “ why we lost the war”: is heating up as the pressure on Kiev to make a settlement with Russia is underway.

From most accounts Zelensky overruled his generals on strategy and insisted on the deadly strategies of throwing fodder at Bakhmut, then at Adeevka.

Austin is preoccupied writing sternly worded letters to the Iranian militias that within the past 3 weeks have launched almost 50 attacks on our troops in Iraq and Syria, injuring at least 24 ( some brain injuries) and at least 1 death…..with only 1 US response thus far.

Russians wouldn’t have done it. They like the Uke command just the way it is.

Thank goodness own heroic Zeepers have vowed to keep the fighting going until every Ukrainian male over the age of 10 has been killed or maimed beyond recognition.

Defiant Ukrainian soldiers take a break near Bakhmut
