Given that the smallest unit that has a general is a brigade, I’d say this is a lot. Unless, of course, Ukrainians use generals where we’d use lieutenants. That would still be 50 X 40 = 2000 men who bit the dust with them.
I doubt this is true.
There is no need to pull numerous Generals and Officers from their commands to conduct a meeting that can be held on secured communications.
It’s 2022 not 1943.
