Stavridis says 12 or more, though he has access to classified info and might have let something slip. The newspaper says 10 generals, still something to memorialize at their may 9th parade on Red Square, I wonder if they will be mentioned. There is talk that the Russians are scrambling for equipment to show off in the parade, so much of it is Ukraine. Think they will have any wounded veterans wheeled by in ranks?

  • Another Russian general has been killed in Ukraine, authorities claim.
  • Maj. Gen. Andrei Simonov was reportedly killed in an attack on a Russian command post near the city of Izyum.
  • The general, who commanded electric warfare units, was among 100 Russian servicemen killed.
Russia has lost another general in Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, according to top Ukrainian officials, The Kyiv Post has reported

Maj. Gen. Andrei Simonov was killed near the city of Izyum in the Kharkiv region, which is currently occupied by Russian forces, Ukrainian authorities said.

The Ukrainian military attacked a field command post of the Russian 2nd Army on Saturday, striking more than 30 Russian armored vehicles, including tanks, according to the paper.

Footage posted on social media appears to show the command post being bombarded by rockets, said the Kyiv Post.

The general was among 100 Russian soldiers killed in the attack, President Zellenskyy's military adviser Oleksiy Arestovych said, according to The Kyiv Post. Arestovych said well-placed army sources had confirmed the death of Maj. Gen. Simonov in a YouTube interview, per the Mail Online.

The claims by the Ukrainian authorities have not been independently verified.

Russia has not as of yet confirmed the death of Maj. Gen. Simonov.

Simonov was a senior commander of electronic warfare, Ukrainian government advisor Anton Gerashchenko said on his Telegram account.

His death would make him the tenth Russian general to die in Ukraine, according to a count by The Kyiv Post.

I see Gerasimov got a leg wound, just like all those conscripts who want to get out of the war! He's one of them now, do the Russians have a nickname for those who shoot themselves in the leg to avoid combat? :lol:
