Ukraine claimed today that its forces had shot dead the deputy commander of Russia's Black Sea Fleet in another significant blow to Vladimir Putin's forces.

First rank captain Andrey Paliy, 51, is the only senior naval officer allegedly killed in the war in Ukraine, although Kyiv claims to have slain five army generals.

Col Sergei Sukharev, of the 331st Guards Parachute Assault Regiment from Kostroma, was killed on March 18 and Andrei Sukhovetsky, 47, was killed during a special operation by a sniper on March 3.

In addition, Major-General Oleg Mityaev, 47, commander of the army's 150th motorised rifle division, died fighting around the besieged city of Mariupol, Major General Vitaly Gerasimov, 45, was killed on March 7 outside the eastern city of Kharkiv, and Colonel Andrey Kolesnikov, Commander of the Guards Tank Kantemirovskaya Division, was killed in fighting on March 11.

And since Biden is YOUR PRESIDENT, FROM YOUR COUNTRY, and other politicians from YOUR COUNTRY were part of the corruption in the Ukraine, it is only fitting that YOUR HOUSE SHOULD BE BOMBED, YOUR TOWN SHOULD BE GUTTED BY MISSILES OR ARTILLERY, YOU OR YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS SHOULD BE KILLED. You should lose your freedom. I think a nice CHICOM gulag would do nicely for you.

Civilians in all countries are victims.

It is the elite of the world against all citizens.

The map is not the territory.

They want you poor and voiceless—wherever you live.

Putin is defending his border.

Biden is not.

Putin supports family values.

Biden supports pervert values.

Putin wants to improve the living standards of his population.

Biden wants to lower the living standards of the US people.

Yes, but Soros, Hollywood, Biden, Pelosi, the U.N., the lying U.S. media, the CIA, and the rest of the globalist criminals are supporting Ukraine!

This is a tough one!

You keep rah rahing for the criminal POS thug every day. Putin has raped HIS COUNTRY for $200 billion. He provides cover for oligarchs to do the same. Meanwhile the standard of living in Russia is very low, all that RIPPED from the people. So don’t even dare try to sell that idiotic fantasy crap that Putin is some champion of the people.

Truck driver has got to be one of the worst jobs in the Russian Army right now.

It seems like a lot of them (probably in the rear areas) are driving around in convoys of one vehicle - easy pickings.

Since the rail networks run through the cities, and the Russians haven’t taken the cities, pretty much everything has to be trucked in - and their lines are getting long.

The Russians can always post their successes, like their lists of prisoners and such Uke officers they think they have killed.

They seem to think that Generals getting killed is a demoralizing tragedy or something. Basically, its opening up room for promotions.

Putins men arent fighting “Biden” but their own Slavic Christian neighbors, which they invaded and are horribly mistreating.

A Russian Army is the equivalent of a US Corps, not a Division.

Out of curiosity: Did our famous political Generals like Schwartzkopf, Powell, Milley, and Matti’s lead the way in battle like these generals seem to be doing?
I am under the impression that those guys hide out in a Central command center and tell other people what to do.

The territory is that big place that has actual mud and concrete and dead people. “Biden” is not there. Only Russians with guns and Ukrainians with guns who dont want them there.

When the guns come out its entirely simple.

Corps commanders are generally within artillery range of the enemy. Division commanders are always so. They usually have better things to do than to get in sniper range of enemy forces.

This loss rate of senior Russian officers is really quite absurd. No doubt they are brave men, but their system is screwed up if they have to be so constantly up front and under fire, because that means noone is minding the store back where they should be.

Yes, I have noticed these things as well.

For some reason, our libtards really hate Putin with an unusual intensity.

Like he’s uniquely evil in that part of the world or something.

Very informative post and thank you for replying. If anyone has the right to hang back a bit it would be them. Russian tactics sound primitive and amateurish.

Russian Navy first rank Captain is equivalent to a Colonel. It is one rank below General/Flag Officer.
