Weird.

General killed fighting at the front?

I thought they only stayed back at HQ to promote diversity and organize pride parades.

Wasn't at the front. Was back behind the defensive belts.

Putin himself would have personally killed the general if he engaged in such woke activities. Russians don't mess around with woke. If you go woke, they turn you into smoke.

He wasn't killed at the front. He was killed while he was staying at a resort 200 miles away from the front.

Your analysis is that he was killed at the front.

Considering that the Russian general staff are the wise-a-guys who somehow had forgotten about Ukrainian mud, among other missteps, I’m not sure taking them out is in Ukraine’s best interest ... there might be competent junior officers promoted in their place.
