Fresh blow for Putin as Ukraine counteroffensive leaves top Russian general dead

Vladimir Putin is facing fresh woes after one of his generals was killed in a missile attack.

Major-general Sergey Goryachev, 52, died during fighting in the Zaporizhzhia region, which has recently seen major action in Ukraine’s counter-offensive.

Goryachev was chief of staff of the Russian 35th Combined Arms Army and is one of 11 generals to be officially classed as casualties in the war – the first this year.

Pro-Moscow war correspondent Yuri Kotenok wrote yesterday: ‘War takes the best. The army lost one of the brightest and most effective military leaders, who combined the highest professionalism with personal courage.

‘Combat friends express their condolences to the family and friends of the deceased.’

Several pro-war military channels have admitted Putin’s soldiers are taking a hit now that Kyiv’s long-awaited counter-offensive has begun.

This includes Kotenok, who said Russia’s forces were facing ‘heavy fighting along almost the entire line of military contact’.

Ah gee, that's too bad. Maybe now there will be more food rations for the 35th Combined Arms Army since it wn't be needed now for the plump chief of staff.

He's not dead! Not really! Just taking a very long nap. Afterwards, he'll be right as rain, and ready to assume command of his new post onboard the Submarine Moskva, prowling the Black Sea!

Kakrov’s #2 Adam Delimkhanov got HIMARed yesterday. Grab some popcorn as the Putinists mourn another one of their Chechen heroes today.

All the Russkies have is propaganda. Now, they are failing at that.

So you’re actually still associating Trump with Putin, after all that has happened? You might ought to rethink that strategy.

Chechen leader cannot contact his right-hand man wounded in Ukraine

Russian occupiers claim that Adam Delimkhanov, a State Duma deputy and the right-hand man of the Chechen leader, was injured on the territory of Ukraine. Before that, information about the death of the occupier appeared on social media.

Source: Meduza, Russian TV channel Zvezda with reference to the press service of the State Duma, Chechnya leader Ramzan Kadyrov

Quote from Kadyrov: "I can't find Adam Delimkhanov on my own. He doesn't [respond to my attempts to – ed.] get in touch.

I implore the Ukrainian intelligence service to provide information about exactly where and in what positions the strike was carried out so I could still find my dear brother.

Send more Billions. nay Trillions, to Zelensky to finish the Job and Rebuild Ukraine.
