Russian Major General Andrei Sukhovetsky killed by Ukrainians in ‘major demotivator’

A high-ranking Russian general has been killed during fighting in Ukraine, in what experts say will be a bitter blow for Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

Andrei Sukhovetsky was the commanding general of the Russian 7th Airborne Division and a deputy commander of the 41st Combined Arms Army, and by far the most senior Russian figure to have died in the conflict so far.

A military source said Maj Gen Sukhovetsky had been killed by a sniper.

Mr Putin confirmed that a general had been killed in a speech updating the Russian people on the progress of the conflict, eight days into the deadly invasion.

And I hear that Putin's troops are now in full flight back to Mother Russia...

Oh, wait...

That makes two Russian forces Generals that the Ukrainian have killed.

During roughly a week a war, they have lost two generals. This was supposed to be an easy war for Russia.

I do not think it matters to Putin. The suffering of Russian forces is not his suffering. All he cares about is keeping Ukraine from becoming an example of success for Russia. As long as Ukraine fails, Putin is happy.

It does matter to the Russian people.
