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.

My perspective is this. At least their commanders are out in front where they can be killed, if true. I can’t say the same for some of ours.

When I point out that Putin has modernized and stocked nuclear shelters for civilians while US leaders have done nothing to protect US civilians all I hear is crickets.....

It is kinda obvious who cares about their citizens and who does not...

It is the US that is the failed state.

The truth hurts—I get that.

...Lieutenant General Andrey Mordvichev ...(equivalent to an American 2 star).

Are you sure? In the US Army a Lieutenant General would be a three star.

These senior officers are so close to the front because they are having communications problems.

No NKVD motivation units behind the lines like WWII.

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

Right, so every army in battle should try to get as many of its generals killed as possible, after all "its opening up room for promotions."

Putin amassing 70 billion for himself shows he really cares about-himself.

Well, Patton was well aware of that... when he, Bradley, and Eisenhower were on a single lift down to view nazi loot found in a salt mine near Merkers...

Patton, according to his aide, said, “If that clothesline (the elevator cable) should part, promotions in the U.S. Army would be considerably stimulated.” To which Ike replied, “OK, George, that’s enough!

A Russian 3 star is called a Colonel General.

A Russian 2 star is called a Lieutenant General.

A Russian 1 star is called a Major General.

This type of attrition of top planners and executors of forces takes a huge toll, especially in the top-down type of command structure that Russia has. To minimize its effect is not wise.

I think you belong on DU or Reddit. Your violent rhetoric also shows how weak your argument has become. 🤣

I suggest you vote Communist in November because you won’t be happy with the pro-Ukraine Republicans.

None of the dead generals have been shown on video stating that the news of their demise was somewhat exaggerated.

Gee! I never thought of that. Strange, in this day and age of instant communication.

I refuse to join any conventional social media platform. I refer to FB and twitter as “surveillance and censorship apps”.
